1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:03,850
>> Well, the first thing Donald
Trump has to do is go to jail

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,790
for Donald Trump. The case of
the state of Georgia versus

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,140
Donald John Trump will begin in
a jail

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:12,570
and it might

5
00:00:13,390 --> 00:00:15,370
eventually end in a jail.

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,500
And Fulton County, the
Sheriff's office announced

7
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:22,230
tonight, but Donald Trump and
all of his 18 accused

8
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:28,710
co-conspirators will first be
booked at the Rice Street jail

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,960
in Fulton County. The sheriff
of Fulton County has said that

10
00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:34,960
Donald Trump will be
fingerprinted and that he will

11
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:41,510
be photographed and end up with
a mug shot when he is booked at

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,130
the Rice Street Jail sheriff
noted that the jail is open.

13
00:00:45,140 --> 00:00:49,060
24 7 and all of the people
indicted

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,570
and what the indictment called
Donald Trump's criminal

15
00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:53,670
enterprise

16
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:58,280
are welcome to show up to their
bookings at any time.

17
00:00:59,170 --> 00:01:00,540
No appointment necessary

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,970
to varying degrees. Donald
Trump has been given special

19
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:08,620
treatment in each one of his
previous arrests and

20
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:12,760
arrangements. So far there has
been no suggestion from the

21
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:15,980
Fulton County Sheriff or just
attorney Fani Willis. But

22
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:19,670
Donald Trump will receive
special treatment this time

23
00:01:20,250 --> 00:01:22,330
in the booking an arraignment
procedure.

24
00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:24,400
This

25
00:01:24,940 --> 00:01:25,670
is the one.

26
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:33,670
This is the case that tells the
story more clearly than any

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,620
other criminal case against
Donald Trump.

28
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:40,590
The story of exactly who Donald
Trump is

29
00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:42,300
and was

30
00:01:42,990 --> 00:01:47,160
when he was according to this
indictment committing crimes in

31
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:52,380
the Oval Office. This is the
wall that historians will use

32
00:01:52,390 --> 00:01:56,330
to tell the story of Donald
Trump's conspiracy to overturn

33
00:01:56,340 --> 00:01:59,820
the 2020 presidential election.
This is the one but

34
00:01:59,830 --> 00:02:03,810
screenwriters and prop perhaps
playwrights when used to tell

35
00:02:03,820 --> 00:02:04,700
that story.

36
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,830
If you read only one indictment
of Donald Trump, it really

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,480
should be this indictment.

38
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:16,440
It tells the story the way.
Well written history book would

39
00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:19,880
tell a story in clear, simple
chronological order

40
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:23,380
beginning with Donald Trump's
lying speech

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,780
at 02:00AM on election night

42
00:02:28,090 --> 00:02:33,150
falsely declaring victory in
the 2020 presidential election.

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Those of us

44
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:37,800
watching that speech at that
time knew that Donald Trump was

45
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:41,660
lying. Neither candidate could
honestly claim to have won the

46
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:44,230
presidential election election
on election night given the

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,980
number of still uncounted votes
in the key states.

48
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:51,190
One, we watched that speech.
It appeared to be one of Donald

49
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,380
Trump's standard issue lies

50
00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:56,350
which are perfectly legal

51
00:02:57,730 --> 00:02:59,400
in this indictment

52
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:01,390
on Page 20,

53
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:05,840
we discover that a week before
election night,

54
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,800
Donald John Trump discussed a
draft speech with an unindicted

55
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:16,440
co-conspirator individual.
One that falsely declared

56
00:03:16,450 --> 00:03:21,700
victory and falsely claimed
voter fraud. The speech

57
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:27,150
was an overt act in furtherance
of the conspiracy. That speech

58
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,110
at 02:00AM was according to
this indictment, the public

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,780
launching

60
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,910
of Donald Trump's criminal
enterprise. The second action

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,590
in the further and some of the
conspiracy involved were not

62
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,230
chilly on and on and a
co-conspirator individual to

63
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,390
the 3rd action involved
unindicted co-conspirator

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,400
individual free. The 4th action
involved and a co-conspirator

65
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:56,270
individual for there are a
total of 30 and that co

66
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,490
conspirators some of whom were
in the Oval Office with Donald

67
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:03,480
Trump. That means that the
grand jury has evidence from

68
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,410
and that it Co conspirators who
are cooperating with this

69
00:04:07,420 --> 00:04:08,240
prosecution.

70
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,530
Donald Trump's criminal
enterprise, many of the fake

71
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:14,990
electors in Georgia are
unindicted co-conspirators who

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,270
are cooperating with the
prosecution and the rest of the

73
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,510
fake electors in Georgia have
been indicted for impersonating

74
00:04:21,770 --> 00:04:25,130
a public officer conspiracy to
commit impersonating a public

75
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:28,860
option for jury in the first
degree conspiracy to commit for

76
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:31,240
forgery. In the first degree
and more

77
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:35,780
what Mike Pence called a gaggle
of crack gaggle of crackpot

78
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:40,500
lawyers have all been indicted
in this case. Rudolph Giuliani,

79
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,200
John Eastman kind of chose
bureau Jeffrey Clark, Jenna

80
00:04:45,210 --> 00:04:45,930
Ellis,

81
00:04:46,530 --> 00:04:50,140
they are each facing multiple
charges in the further Inc of

82
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:51,120
the conspiracy.

83
00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:53,090
The conspiracy

84
00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:58,870
calls Donald Trump's criminal
enterprise. Real Giuliani is 79

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,770
years old. He is contemplating
the possibility tonight

86
00:05:02,350 --> 00:05:07,560
of spending the final years of
his life in prison in Georgia

87
00:05:07,570 --> 00:05:11,680
outside of the reach of a
presidential pardon from the

88
00:05:11,690 --> 00:05:14,760
next Republican president of
the United States. Our first

89
00:05:14,770 --> 00:05:17,550
guest tonight, Harry Litman and
his legal column in the Los

90
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Angeles Times calls this
indictment the most

91
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:24,920
far-reaching and poor tense,
poor tension. U.S. response to

92
00:05:24,930 --> 00:05:28,790
Trump's assault on Democracy.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,370
has and I don't doubt Trump
individually for much of the

94
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:35,050
same conduct described in the
Georgia indictment as a

95
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:37,870
criminal enterprise. Donald
Trump's last White House chief

96
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,870
of Staff Mark Meadows does not
appear

97
00:05:41,410 --> 00:05:45,450
in Jack Smith's indictment.
But Mark Meadows is the 4th

98
00:05:45,460 --> 00:05:48,560
list. A defendant in the
Georgia indictment. Park

99
00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:51,880
Meadows is the first defendant
in the case to legally respond

100
00:05:51,890 --> 00:05:55,800
to the indictment by today
filing a request in federal

101
00:05:55,810 --> 00:05:56,510
court

102
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,680
to move the Georgia case out of
the Fulton County Courthouse to

103
00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:04,670
the jurisdiction of a federal
judge. The federal judge who

104
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,330
will consider that request is
Steve see Jones who was

105
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:12,560
appointed to the federal court
by President Obama, the Georgia

106
00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:16,800
judge who was randomly assigned
the case. And Fulton County is

107
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:21,180
the newest judge in Fulton
County. Judge Scott McAfee was

108
00:06:21,190 --> 00:06:24,260
appointed by Republican
Governor Brian Kemp to fill a

109
00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:28,050
vacancy and is now running for
reelection to that judgeship in

110
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:32,850
2024. on the same schedule as
the presidential election.

111
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:36,610
Judge McAfee is a Republican
who was a member of the

112
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:40,650
Federalist Society in law
school. Judge McAfee served as

113
00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:44,420
an assistant district attorney
under the supervision of Fani

114
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:48,460
Willis, who was then one of the
senior assistant district

115
00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:49,990
attorneys in Fulton County.

116
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:56,080
We now have a four-way race to
a trial date in the 4 criminal

117
00:06:56,090 --> 00:06:58,390
prosecutions of Donald Trump,
Manhattan District Attorney

118
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,670
Alvin Bragg, who was the first
to indict Donald Trump,

119
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,670
has it currently scheduled
trial date of March. 25th just

120
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,180
turning Bragg has said publicly
that he would not use that day

121
00:07:10,190 --> 00:07:13,910
to stand in the way of one of
the other prosecutions of

122
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Donald Trump, which he
recognized as possibly more

123
00:07:17,690 --> 00:07:19,000
urgent case.

124
00:07:19,420 --> 00:07:22,650
Today in Florida, Donald
Trump's newest co-defendant in

125
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:25,720
the espionage obstruction of
justice case was finally

126
00:07:25,730 --> 00:07:29,840
arraigned. The 2 defendants
facing criminal charges with

127
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:33,310
Donald Trump in Florida.
Probably believe that there is

128
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,670
virtually no chance of them
being sentenced to prison,

129
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:41,030
even if found guilty in that
case because the judge in the

130
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,940
case was appointed by Donald
Trump

131
00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:47,300
and has in the past you shoot
extraordinarily favorable

132
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:50,370
rulings for Donald Trump and
because there are no mandatory

133
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:52,920
minimum sentences required in
that case,

134
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:57,860
it is fully within that federal
judge's discretion to gives no

135
00:07:57,870 --> 00:08:02,180
prison time too. Any of those
defendants, even if found

136
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:07,280
guilty. The prospect of prison
time is the strongest pressure

137
00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:11,020
in convincing co-conspirators
to cooperate with prosecutors.

138
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,750
That pressure is virtually
nonexistent, possibly in the

139
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,450
Florida case. But that pressure
is much, much stronger in the

140
00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:23,070
Georgia case tonight with 18
co-defendants of Donald Trump

141
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,310
each wondering how much prison
time they could be facing in

142
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,960
that case. None of Donald
Trump's 18 accused

143
00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:34,690
co-conspirators in Georgia can
just sit back and better.

144
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:38,180
Donald Trump winning the next
presidential election and

145
00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:41,180
making that case go away
because the president of the

146
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:45,040
United States has absolutely no
power to intervene in any way.

147
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:49,270
And the Georgia criminal
prosecution of Donald Trump's

148
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,650
criminal enterprise
