Really drew your attention. and i can understand the prosecutor s difficulties with some of this because as danny will realize if a ruling goes against the prosecution there s no appeal. if a judge goes too far and manafort is acquitted that s the end of the matter. if he rules against the defense in some matter, well, they re always entitled to some appeal. there would be a political impact. this is really the prosecution s only chance to really dispute these rulings with a judge. and they clearly feel he s been tying their hands. danny, talk about this. in a way he s safeguarding the prosecution. if they go too far or seek to admit to mean ostrich skin jackets. or mention russia. or mention russia or go out of bounds, then that prosecution if they get a conviction then it is ripe for appeal. as much as it may appear he s yelling at the prauosecution an ....
When he look in manafort s direction or even a couple points where he said something nice about manafort. but overall he carried the admission to various crimes not just the ones in this virginia case but ones soon to be tried in the washington, d.c. case against manafort. that was certainly the substance of the testimony. danny, if you re a proskoo prosecutor, you try to make this all very above board. did you break the law, yes, i did. but if you re the defense and you get your chance at mr. gates, how do you further go after him to do damage to himself that his admission of a crime has not already done? first the prosecution is going to try and get all of this damaging information out on director examination. the idea being when the defense stands up to cross-examine them, they re picking over a dead carcass by then because it s all ....

Tonight all eyes are on stormy daniels as she talks about her affair with donald trump. joining me now is msnbc legal analyst danny sovalos. is there anything that donald trump can do to prevent this interview from airing? in a word, no. there s no court action that can prevent this case or this interview from going forward. this is because the supreme court has made very clear that prior restraint, the government or court involvement preventing speech in advance of speech is to be so sparingly used that rare is the case that we can even articulate an example where it is appropriate. so the answer to your question is, there is nothing that the trump team can do to prevent this interview from going forward as scheduled. ....
