You havent known the Inflation Reduction Act for you know what it is 25 yoyears, and you have known me. So ill take it. L im just thrilled to have this handoff with you every four days a week, chris. It is the thing that brings me joy, my friend. Happy anniversary. Thanks, buddy. Ha thanks for a great show as always. And thanks to you at home for joining me this hour once again. We now haveur a date. March 4, 2024. That is the day Fulton County district Attorneyon Fani Willis proposed her case against trump and his 18 codefendants match that is the date shed like it to go to trial. That would put this trial in georgia two months after the date Special Counsel jack smith proposed for the attempts to overturn the 2020 election and three weeks before the Hush Money Case set to start in new york and two months before the maralago classified documents cased which is may 20th and it would be just one day before super tuesday. That means just 200 days from tomorrow trump and his codefendants
by @real donald trump including any sensitive deleted ones to all messages sent from, stored by, or otherwise associated with @real donald trump. it is all stuff that the special counsel wanted to see. smith asked for other twitter data as well including location information to the user of @real donald trump from october 2020 to january 2021 and ip addresses. that is a lot that the special counsel has asked for and apparently received, so what exactly the feds looking for? still with me are mary mccord and andrew wiseman. mary, let me go to you first. what do you think jack smith is looking for in the direct messages? so the direct messages are interesting because i would not have necessarily expected he would be using the direct
of the s?codefendants in his ca. at the moment trump should be doing all he can to keep all the codefendants and alleged codefendants on his side, how long can trump afford to pay other peoples a lawyers and for that matter his own? joining me now are mary mccorder, former acting assistant security, and andrew wiseman, member of robert mueller s special counsel investigation. they re the co-hosts of the msnbc podcast prosecuting donald trump where i get all my good ideas for things to talk about on television. andrew, the burn rate in terms of trump s pacs spending money on these legal problems is staggering, and that was all the data we have is from before these latest indictments landed. does this seem problematic to you as it does to the lay person on the outside? so i have a couple thoughts. one is just to put it in
for thesese reasons, they may start thinking twice as so many more caseswi are piling up on h. andrew, mary makes a point about whoma is actually working for donald trump in terms of counsel. and maybe because he s such a difficult client or a notoriously tightfisted client who doesn t pay his bills, we re not talking about big law firms here. john lauro his website says they have four lawyers and a paralegal. todd blanch at blanche law there are two lawyers. you re talking about cases where the discovery in the federal case 11.6 million i believe documents, i know this is one of the excuses trump s legal team has said, we can t get to all this in the c allotted time. well, the reason for part of that is there s two people in theth shop. right, what can you tell me about the bare bones nature of his counsel given the mountain
toxic in the broader sense of society do they want to represent donald trump ory is blanche law, the two lawyers are they more inclined to? i keep using the example of david kendall. you have somebody who s like th cream of the crop where anybody in the legal profession looks ap who is representing and says, okay, that is absolutely top-notch, impeccable counsel. and i mco not knocking todd ng blanche and john lauro, but they re not in the same caliber and there s a reason. part of it is mary s reason, it s a service, you should get paid for it. and the other is that if you re at that stage in your career where you would have somebody like ain former president, they need to take your advice. if you have somebody you could end upe like mr. corcoran wher you re a lawyer and a witness, which is unbelievable, mary and iva talked about this, you don
