Rappers in atlanta, who the same lady, fanny what is her middle name, fani tiefa willis. if she was going to treat a group of hip-hop artists like a gang, she needs to treat them like a gang. because they are a gang. and they re sharing lawyers. there you go. one of the things that s important on this point about wealth and being a symbol of ostentatious wealth, the big plane is part of this and his self-proclaimed billionaire status is a major part of his political heft in this country as well as his just celebrity. with 19 codefendants in this case, we re starting to see the sort of bluff called in terms of the financial aspects of this. like, among other things, this is a lot of legal fees for a lot of people who are involved here. this is him being tried alongside 18 other people including people like rudy giuliani who we believe owes lots of money to his existing
Because it has been so ugly and frightening. i was surprised when he used one of his social media accounts to re-post a call for protest today. somebody who said they were going to be traveling from out to atlanta, to fulton county today, and they gave the actual address, the street address of the jail. trump re-posted that himself, effectively calling on people to turn out and protest for him in fulton county, which you might expect would have a big effect on his followers, particularly the way he has attacked fani willis and the prosecution and the number of people prosecuted alongside him. the turnout, again, was none to say the least. he is not able to turn out people on the street to defend him. that doesn t mean we haven t seen people so doing other things. a lot of people were arrested. a few instances of violence where people say they are acting in his name or out of anger in terms of the way he s
Physical crush around him and chaos, that is not at all an entertaining thing to see and there s no justice in that for anybody. that was not good, and it did not bode well for this much higher stakes moment. what you re describing requires a lot of communication. i mean, it doesn t just happen that they were talking all, day every day. trump has advanced people. they were talking around the clock to fani willis s team. and fani willis made public facing statements to the authorities in fulton county about making sure there weren t other trials in the courtroom. talking about the court staff and district attorney staff working from home, setting up a timeframe well in advance so they could do this planning. when we saw that screamer on giuliani yesterday i was worried i was worried that they had not planned well. but they have clearly planned well. it s an important political part of the process. this is law and order. this is the orderly, calm,
Menacing anyone involved in the case, including witnesses or unindicted coconspirators. we shall see how he handles these new restrictions which will be binding on him and for which in theory at least the cost of him violating those conditions would be his liberty, him being locked up at the fulton county jail. it should also be noted today, the day of his arrest and booking, the former president replaced his lead lawyer. his previous lawyer called himself hashtag billion dollar lawyer on social media and had represented waka flocka flame and gucci mane. it didn t work out with donald trump as a client, so the former president has a new georgia based lead defense lawyer as of today. should also be noted that after one of trump s codefendants, lawyer kenneth chesebro, invoked his right to a speedy trial in fulton county, fulton county s district attorney fani willis, the prosecutor in the case, today told the court that she s ready to take this case to trial
Try the case. not just to start the process of indicting and start the process of motions. because she knew this was going to happen. we re going to talk later on this hour about the other sort of ace in the hole that republicans have given themselves in georgia, a potential way to remove fani willis from this case, something they signaled they re going to try to do as early as october. so that may also be part of why she s thinking about the clock ticking here, and why she may be ready to move faster than anybody else was expecting for all of this process. she s absolutely coming to play. there s a hearing on monday in which the same judge that basically dismissed mark meadows plea to not be arrested is going to rule on whether he can move this out of state court into federal court, and fani willis is calling in brad raffensperger to be a part of that hearing and two other lawyers on the infamous january 2nd call with donald trump. she is amassing her people to make the case that m
