Nicolle Wallace with Prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord: Prosecuting Donald Trump

[ancianita]

In review. What Weissman and McCord knew that went on before and during the 2016 transition of power, why Obama had expelled 35 Russians, frozen their real estate assets; what Weissman and McCord saw about the new people transitioning into positions with the FBI and Dept of Justice. As is proper and professional across administrations, how McCord and Yates let the new White House (called the Magic Kingdom at that time) know what they knew about James Comey (head of the FBI) Michael Flynn (Nat'l Sec. Advisor) and Sergey Kislyak (senior ambassador to Russia) to Don McGahn (WH Counsel) and Sally Yates (Deputy AG).


Weissmann was one of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s top deputies who oversaw the team handling Trump’s corrupt former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and McCord was the Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at DOJ. The two join Wallace as they break down the cases, offering a clear-eyed analysis on the scope of potential criminality, what its means for American democracy, and much more.

Over the last several months, Americans have witnessed a dizzying series of historic court cases — a former US president indicted twice — ongoing investigations suggesting more indictments are possible. How are we to make sense of the details and the scope of these cases? What happens when the Republican presidential front runner has been indicted for obstruction of justice? And how do prosecutors build a legal case when the defendant is a former president?


Panel questions going forward:
Will Jack Smith win? Yes. What will happen if there's a hung jury? Will Judge Chutkan send Trump to jail?
Who would be the new AG under Trump? Most likely, Mike Flynn, Jeff Clark, and all who get pardoned would run a second Trump administration, including Proud Boys, with the absolute institution of Executive Privilege and Unitary Executive Power.

MSNBC’s "Prosecuting Donald Trump" is a weekly podcast that dissects the cases against former President Donald Trump with in-depth analysis, special guests and listener questions.
