Crooked Joe now wants these prosecuted

Every year, a morning joe, that was trump began thomson ground new Hampshire he's gonna keep talking about federal charges, but
facing the twenty twenty election case, including, I guess, threatening, federal prosecutors,
the judge, in that case
could decide exactly how much they can talk about it. It comes
ro prosecutors are now pushing for trial right.
After new year's day queue up you to weaken it.
much more on trumps legal issues.
I warmly welcome morning Joe it is, I mean, come on man, it's august,
its august. This move and this year's movement to vat did august mid august.
Are you get old like me and adjust? It flies right.
It's august eleventh

President obama, war, tannen langley, look what happened. It was a big news very gaiety, another day cancelling that there was a big news story
so the united states wearing can in the white house. We have that
and people are upset by like that are now I hate to really cool whereafter. We support a guy, that's actually trying to overthrow the federal government
that it's it's more of a new storing them to wear tansu and it is to try and put fake electors in two decides
the president that doesn't matter have a right that you watched their
television in the white house do nothing for hours to stop. That's all right, but just aware
we're town. I grew up in like northwest florida where everything was poplar new or ten.
I'm sorry! I can't do this anymore. I'd get mixed minus eight phil spectres in my ear, but I
the up in lord any war, world poplin you wore seersucker walked, and you know this walk. You ought to block the courthouse

It would work perfectly a lot of echo. I'm taken aback out again: ok, listen! I know,
I know you told Phil not to bet on the red sox. He wouldn't listen to you and now look is two hundred million dollars. We told him, we don't have a starting staff dont do it felt that this is a false errand

They won three out of four against the royals, which they're supposed to do against a bad team. It still doesn't matter. My diet doesn't matter
let's get the nurse federal.
skaters, imposed a start date for donald trump trial and charges related to his alleged effort.
Overturned, the twenty twenty election results and filing yesterday special care
Oh jack smith, not
deranged
for the judge to gather trials start on january, the second twenty twenty four to quote, vindicate them.
The strong interest in a speedy trial and interests guaranteed
constitution. Trumps. Lawyers, however, argued that its they defend. It
is guaranteed the right to a speedy trial, and in this case,
one- would not benefit their client now there until next thursday, to impose their own start date, which is likely to be after the twenty twenty four election dave. I got a feeling
I got a feeling, the judge,
he's going to be a lot closer to the people?
gaiters date
then, whatever they donald trump legal team comes up with causes
so far removed from from irrational day. I think this is the case. Is gonna go first?
you don't have a complicated sipa issues like you do in the documents case. You now have the need to get security clearance. Isn't
a judge and judged chuck and who want to keep
ball rolling? So I think this is going first, but this is still
complicated case over seven states, six different, unindicted, co conspirators I mean these are serious charges not as serious as like wearing a ten suit but serious agnostically that it would be delayed,
beyond january, but I still think it goes before the documents case,
Definitely before the election, yeah and jackie I mean we ve been looking at,
different cases, and it does seem. Does it not that this january six case, even though the scope of the crew
I see so much larger than the general public. Actual charges are pretty tight right compared to that
documents case, which again seems like they have him dead right there, but he do
have so many nationals,
security issues and that and you can take a long time to wade through and we have spoken to jack
I can about this, but what we ve heard from experts from prosecutors, people-
his outer circle is that this was done purposefully, anymore,
this sort of skirt some of the other delays in road bumps
freedoms that could come up in if his
scope was a little bit broader if there were
actually indicted, co conspirators, but instead he's going strictly after trump
even judge, Eileen cannon. Who is, as we all know, a bit more sympathetic towards trump had rejected their ask for the case being after the twenty twenty four twenty twond for election will sort of them
crazy. To say twenty twenty four election, how it goes
things are moving value, and so she, if you have some unlike her, whose giving nothing up trial times,
it's more than likely judge tonya chuck is going to rule in favor of prosecutors and jack Smith. By the way. Let's talk about judge canon for a second, I haven't talked to you since the very interesting order that came out a couple of days ago. She did a couple of things that seemed bizarre. She did
She did something that, from florence Zeman asked for question the propriety of the
grand jury that exists in dc and expose it to the public you're allowed
I have no idea why? Why would she do that? She knows that in cases there are more than one grand jury, often they're more than lingual, rang jury. Why would she exp?
those
the grand jury- you it's interesting job trump, lord trust, Jim trusty, was on a right wing, show
and said there is a problem with having the supper grand jury. This was the day before
ruling came out and so made some people think that was
message sent from trumps team to the
mark and accuse anyone of impropriety, but this peculiar that
we decided to do that when no
ask for that to be briefed and she said now. I want you to tell me whether you can have a second grand jury, but a sudden grand jury can be used to invest the other car.
And to indict other people. So I think this issue
Sleep bizarre and makes me think that we're back to the judge, canada, twenty twenty two and
ryan canning to point out
I mean a new look Jonathan.
Yes, they do not need to get off on on
this issue too long, but
If you go, if you go to the door,
support only given day. You see the mistakes.
She's may Yoshi she's she's, just
I've had much trial experience, but in
cases the case seems all the mistakes are breaking trumps way, at least in the dock.
Men's case which again why we say that this explains in part. I think why jack's with cap the cap,
His is indictment so tight of donald trump, because he's in iraq
get that things going to actually move yet at any. Fifty fifty ball in this case is going to drop from judge canada. Did you ve been very differently to his teams arguments
and that does seem why that jack smith is trying
move forward on a tight case here on
interference and ensuing last hour, it's not just
january second, the day after new year's which tromp was fixated on his tr truth, social posts. But that's lesson
two weeks out from the iowa caucus that iowa is January, fifteenth,
Thirdly, they set that already generally.
If every fifty I'll get a republican date, for I will costs so that less than two weeks,
So this is what is just the first example of how often that the his donald trumps legal-
issues are going to overshadow his efforts to come back to the white house.
Well, that's right. I mean there's a collision course that's happening. There is no question about it between the twenty twenty four primaries and you know donald trump, rolling courtroom gates in twenty twenty four might my concern for, while has been, though, that you know millions of republican voters will have ended up voting before these charges and being resolved dominion of january. Second, as an opening bid from the prosecutor,
Let's stipulate the idea that the judge,
wanted to move forward quickly and that its lips not too much what that means. You're going to have this extraordinary split screen spectacle
donald trump, on trial in a criminal court room every day, you have to show up for that, unlike a civil case right in the middle of the campaigning, so he will be basically fusing his campaign message is that he
the victim in this courtroom, and we ve already seen, I think, a preview of the kind of vision,
imperative. I attacks that he's going to to launch as part of both his legal defence and his political defence. So I'm is really concern that one curdling towards a kind of
precedent it once again crisis. You know from donald trump, I you know she is incredible
self absorption is leading us right back into a national drama in which were not going to be able to get this guy out of our hands. Twenty twenty four is going to be once again
personal drama, Donald trump inflicted on all of us really likes.
I thank you so much for that susan. We are now depressed for the rest of twenty twenty three and all of twenty two,

It's really! It's not just the conspiracy against doc

And against Democrats did so deadly here is
constant attack against the
three, I sense
Fbi has been forced to investigate donald trump get
this document sure they tried to get the fbi agents name, so they can be threatened.
then there was yet a news stories about this fevered pitch hot too.
Ask the fbi agents that actually did the search. But
doesn't this show they cost of of telling people.
Whether its on fire

you hear that time and time and time again when you,
a threat against the present united states, the f b. I comes and check it out. You know your guns up like the again heart,
it's not to look at all of these lies, and these conspiracy theories against the f b I and the
say they were responsible for the death of this man. I think it is.
Martin necessary to look at all these attacks in that context,
as no one comes into donald trump incinerator without being too
I should in some way from the insurrectionists you're a charge for
going and storming the capital on January cigarettes from behest too
now the weapon is campaign that that congress,
is running in order to define
in trump against the f b I and the justice department that all of these have real life consequences. I mean talking about defunding the fbi. I mean it's anathema to the republican party and everything, but that conservatives have have stood for for quite some time up until trump and
I mean when you look at at the trail that trump has left in his wake. It's really important thing to talk about these sorts of cases and and kind of law.
it's men and and show that right
rick matters at the end of the day. You know lot levelling all of these threats against alvin brag, foamy willis we're just waiting for tanya truck in to get thrown into the mix there. They have consequences,

the political rhetoric is so devices so heated and the short violence,
used into the talk. Predator odyssey from the right we ve heard our trump just recently: tougher heavily riots in the streets if he is convicted on any
of these charges- and we have discussed in the show quite a bit how laws
we spent federal and local, are deeply concerned that violence is now part of our political narrative in we could see acts of violence january six like acts of violence, but again next year to connect
to the trump legal matters
or the election itself. You're in this
four lines. This, how worried? Are you
concerning a mean, these attacks on federal law enforcement have real consequences. Remember the attack on the fbi office instance Cincinnati this come from.
Law and order party. Remember so it is a problem
while you're having this hearing on a protective border today is coming for, judge chuck.
As for whether donald trump can disseminate some of the information that he's gonna get in this case against him. This is different, though then a partial gag warner. I think that is going to come. Ultimately,
because the farmers are unable to stop the rhetoric and when he goes and continues to do it. I think that eventually, though, we request for a partial gag border, but you only impose
Gag order, if you're willing to enforce it, if you're willing to possibly put a set of steel,
let's around donald trump risk, and for not able to do that? Then all the protective orders, all the gag wars in the world mean nothing. I mean,
sorry, yeah people say there there to standards on untruss side? Will there to standards going forth fortress,
no, I mean you and I both know some of the I'll say stuff
He says, on line
that he says in crowds about federal judges, about federal prosecutors again in my,
experience in northwest florida there
criminal defendant would have
called in front of a judge and
and and the judge said you know what you're going to have a night in jail to think about this and the and I mean seriously, I think most people that practiced northwest Florida would say the same thing and then the
it turned the lawyer and safe, and if you can't control your client,
you'd, better haven't find another one: are you can try
but if you get from him, you'll be in jail where they, like? Nobody, no judge this stuff federal judges put up with this type, a beggar. That's the bizarre thing about this double standard stuff I like lead,
Donald trump is had a double standard break in his direction from
very beginning just
can knows that trump is running for president and there was a speaking indictment out there, which detailed his alleged action so that the judge is gonna. Give him a lot of a bill.
to respond, but at some point you cross the line, I think is cross the line already.
you ve been given a lot of deference, so I think
Ultimately, there will be a powerful gag order impose, but then the big question is: will it be enforced? If you- and I did some of this stuff- we all have our

diagnosed coming- and I think actually that's the second strongest case- the strongest case to me as a prosecutor- is the documents case. That's it air tight case. I think
second strongest case is in georgia. Fine
Seven thousand seven hundred eighty votes he's on tape and nothing influences a jury.

Devon archer says that Joe Biden had no no knowledge, no discussions with hundred by dint of the of the business

by Devon. Archer is actually a really sad one at one of the sun, whose exploiting

The feds, you can have problems with me, but it happened
time and time and time again and
and again, we have an example of a sad situation here, these other

we claim that we have direct money going to the president, but many members of his family had receive money from foreign governments in this is something that is very important for the american people to know. I wanted to their grassland with their voice. Yummy writes a moment.

mean. There's nothing there. The the stretch run of the two thousand and twenty election Donald trump asked is just department to investigate his political opponent, which is exactly, of course, with the republicans reclaiming president Biden and his team.
Or doing now and look the archer testimony presents a sad and even I'm see unseemly tail for hunter binding,
there's no evidence there, there's no direct evidence. The president Biden himself was involved, but that's not stop
that the escalation in Susan I make congressmen homer,
who, on one hand, is acknowledged. She's doing this, because it's taken a toll on president binds pull numbers he's talking subpoenas now that he wants to go that step. He's giving new life to the idea of an impeachment
encourage, even after hospital Mccarthy a few weeks ago, tried to tap the brakes on that and it it seems. It couldn't be clear that this is an effort justin
the waters to come up with some sort of false equivalency to all the legal trouble
donald trump, then they're trying to paint a bad faith image the same as the case with the present binding and history
yeah, I mean the timing that were having this conversation is not a coincidence, republicans from the very beginning of taking
over the house
intended to sort of launch this kind of an investigation. They are essentially acting as a part of the defence team. It seems to me for the donald trump legal troubles and seeking to distract and to have us talking about a whole different set of stories in not sends its very much like benghazi. Remember with Kevin Mccarthy, I think who's the guy apart out loud about their give benghazi investigation of Hillary Clinton. That was meant essential.
Explicitly to tar
the context of the twenty sixteen presidential,
campaign. I think
what we're seeing here are it's very clear but yeah we might actually say I do not at all exclude the possibility that there will be
peach inquiry launched by house from public and, on the basis of you, know, no direct evidence at all that they ve been able to turn up related.
President Biden. I think
it's about the death of
Women meant as a meaningful constraint, with the prospects in the divided country of ever having you conviction in the senate. Basically, no
whether your democratic republic, in we're talking,
situation where impeachment has just become another politicized tool in the tool kit forward
having it. It's a messaging impeachment
they seem to be demanding right now and you know cabin mccarthy. He doesn't
a very big or solid reply
the majority. He is in many ways
the mercy of factions have the most extreme of his
number so ina were hearing this chatter, all throughout the august recess when
comes back in september. I would not at all be surprised that they move
forward. With more
allegations the more donald trump is indicted. The more his defence team and the house
republicans becomes a part of his legal case, and you know Susan. There is a cost to that, though, for republicans think of it.
The number of
publicans that wine in Biden districts those people every time these
publicans go on, go down a crazy trail, they're, the ones

the twenty twenty four election is going to be about. It's me by economics versus the trump freak show and fast

curious, they're going to actually want to know what their government has done for them. They're going to want to know has by now
work for them. They're not gonna, be interested in this prompt freak show so
seems to me. There are cause for this sort of behaviour. Aren't there.
well, I think you know you're absolutely right joe it for the last few election cycles. You seen Democrats again and again go with. You
idea that we're gonna campaign around.
and a sort of a vision, at least for the? U s as some kind of
positive agenda. And that's why you have president vine travelling around the country now talking about some of those very positive economic indicators, low unemployment
inflation seems to be easing
recovery is in india
steam, there's a investments from things like that
restructure bill are now
kicking in and there is actually groundbreaking and the light. But I think the point about the politics
is a really important point: the republican
already has become the trunk party they
we seem to have, especially if they go

positive agenda for governing that their offerings.
Looking ahead to twenty twenty four I just
you. Think about that most telling data point from the twenty twond
campaign, which is when
Republicans men in their convention,
even improve a platform for the first time that anyone can remember their platform was literally. We support, whatever donald trump wants in
