we will see you again tomorrow, now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening lawrence. or good evening alex we are gonna discuss franklin foer article it is hour, with harvard law professor laurence tribe, who was merrick garland s conquered law professor, he agrees, he believes that this article is absolutely right on and this is it s a very good prediction of what merrick garland is going to do. also, we have john fetterman joining us tonight, senate candidates, john fetterman and alex i m going to ask him about the health issue, but i have to tell, you i don t get it. i really don t get it we have two current democratic senators, one a little older than him, one a little younger than him, both of whom have strokes this year in office! and no one said, you gotta quit, you can t be a senator if you have a health issue like. that bernie sanders had a heart attack when he was running for president! what did he take? two days off or something?
Showing irreparable harm. as andy weisman correctly pointed out, the only irreparable harm is it to the united states of america, and the department of justice and having to slow anything down. and show anything to the special master. because in an ordinary case, he wouldn t need or have a special master. he would simply have the court that ordered the lore warrants, issued the search, there s no claim that the search was illegal there s no claim that the president actually did anything to declassify the documents despite his claim that he did it by some telepathic process. a claim that he makes only out of court, but not in court. so it s really quite clear that the path is open for going forward. you ve known merrick garland since he was one of your law students, and i know you ve read that atlantic piece today,
That can stand up in a court of law. and so i think that is a very difficult case for the justice department to bring. but the mar-a-lago case, i think it s much more black and white. and it relates to a very core principle that merrick garland is just a central to merrick garland. it s the rule of law. that there is nobody in this country who stands above the law. who s immune from the law. and so i think that this case, which is so, so much clearer! at least it seems from the outside and the principle at stake, it s so central to the way that garland thinks about the fabric of our democratic institutions i think it is inevitable that he brings and indictments here. all right, franklin foer we will be catching up with you in the coming weeks, months, and we know this all have the come to pass before a new president is installed, and there. we franklin foer stuff at the atlantic, writer it s great to see you frank. great to see you, thank you. that does it for us tonight,
Justice department that i told her she has to go to mar-a-lago tomorrow to sign something for donald trump. and evan corcoran told her, you ve got to sign this thing and she said, wait a minute, i don t know you! what kind of legal liability to you see it now reporting for the various trump lawyer. significant liability. i mean adding minimum, the material facts of this, is seen that they are trying to interview, already have interviewed, christina, bob giving details about what went off behind the scenes. i mean let s be clear. an obstruction case is being built here. more than anything have to do with willful retention, of national defense information. this is going to be about lies and misleading statements to the fbi and the doj and so whether it evan corcoran or boris epshteyn, any of these individual, you better have your own lawyer ready. you ve got to be looking at just how much you were misled and why you gave those instructions to christina bob
Judge alone, in chambers. the solicitor general told the supreme court, that the appeals court has already fast-tracked this case for an early decision by the full appeals court and that makes donald trump s emergency request to the supreme court unnecessary. especially since donald trump s lawyers have told the appeals court that the case does not require fast action! and actually asked the appeals court to delay any arguments at the appeals court level, until next year. we have our team of legal experts ready to analyze today s supreme court filings. including harvard constitutional law professor professor laurence tribe, who says the filing quote, pulverizes all of trump s arguments. the new york times is reporting more details about the trump lawyer who has a criminal defense lawyer of her own, and is cooperating with the justice department investigation of donald trump.
