the campaign, but yeah, it was great. i can t get enough of it. i want to tell our very talented camera crew that you want more of it, but we will have more of it. come on, it looked like they were having fun. i think they had fine. they don t really have a choice. but they would be appreciative anyway. getting a lot of exercise. thank you, alex. this is one of those nights when we are very lucky to be joined by former federal prosecutor andrew wise s men and because we need their expertise to discuss what would normally be a routine filing in a criminal case which special prosecutor jack smith used this afternoon to hit back hard against donald trump s criminal defense lawyers. the ten-page ruling followed by a signature page with jack smith s name at the top says that donald trump s request for an indefinite continuance for a trial date, quote, borders on frivolous. jack smith knocks down every argument the trump lawyers make for an indefinite delay. on page two,
