and for those keeping score at home, it s two democratic appointees and one republican appointee who are hearing this case, which i think lends some optimism to the jack smith s team because of that makeup. it s also true, this argument for donald trump is a pretty extraordinary stretch. remember when we covered the mueller investigation. and there was much sdiscussion that there s is a justice department policy. not a law, but a policy, that says a sitting president should not be indicted. implicit in that policy, of course, he could be indicted later for something he did. that s always been the assumption. gerald ford pardoned richard nixon for his crimes in watergate. if he couldn t be prosecuted, there would be no need for a po pardon. for a former president, for conduct while in office. that s what the pardon was for. everyone assumed without the pardon, he could be prosecuted. once you are out of office, you are an order citizen like everyone else. interestingly
people can be indicted a bunch of times and still run for office. a black man can t. you just learn to be good, and in the and you benefit from that extra resilience. coates: i want to get right into all this with attorney jeffrey toobin, he is the author of the nine inside the secret world of the supreme court. as well as home grown timothy mcvay, and the rise of homegrown extremism. jeffrey i m glad you re here tonight. first of all take a step back with me. many people are wondering if tomorrow is the day that the appellate court will decide that trump committed an insurrection. that is not tomorrow is, tomorrow is about whether immunity exists for a president. what do you say? correct. what is important to remember about tomorrow, is it is a question of does donald trump have to stand trial? trump is arguing that the whole case should be thrown out, before it is even tried. which is unusual in a criminal case. because under his understanding of presidential immunity,

i mean one would think if a, door or a part of a plane blows off for whatever reason, one would override the ultimate to our remaining windows, you would want to have that data recorded and preserved, but it s apparently not. they re done, is the chair said that the flight attendants and crew did not know what to expect in that situation. that they ll be working on informing personnel going forward. why wouldn t they know? as part of their overall training and being on these aircraft that they re so familiar with? and how long could it take to get him up to speed? well, they know what to do the rapid depressurization rehearse frequently, so what they have to get into the cockpit right now. when you have, rapid depressurization and i guarantee the pilots, these are memory items as well. , and we re reaching down for our mask.
it s apparently not there. the chair said the flight attendants and crew did not know what to expect. they will be informing crews going forward. how long could it take them to get up to speed? they know what to do. a rapid depressurization we ve rehearsed in the simulator. get into the cockpit right now. when you have rapid depressurization, the f physiological effects are great. these are memory items, as well. we re reaching down for the mask. a mask that squeezes over the face. it s something we practice. getting the plane to stop climbing.
