I signed an order appointing Jack Smith.
1:40
And nobody knows you. And those who
1:42
say Jack is a fanatic. Mr. Smith
1:45
is a veteran career prosecutor. Wait,
1:47
what law have I broken? The events leading
1:49
up to and on January 6th.
1:51
Classified documents and other presidential records.

You understand what prison is? Send

2:05
to episode 60 of
2:07
Jack, the podcast about all things
2:09
special counsel. It is Sunday,
2:11
January 21st, 2024. I'm
2:15
Andy McCabe. Hey, Andy. I'm
2:17
Allison Gill. Per us,
2:19
we have a jam packed show today,
2:21
including Donald Trump's reply in
2:23
support of his motion to hold Jack
2:25
Smith in contempt. Remember, because he
2:28
kept filing stuff on the docket and
2:30
handing over discovery while the proceedings are
2:32
stayed. And Judge
2:34
Chutkin's ruling on that contempt motion
2:37
and an appeals court denial in
2:39
the ongoing appeal of Trump's Twitter
2:42
account search warrant. And
2:44
we have a series of filings and rulings
2:47
in the Mar-a-Lago documents
2:49
case, including another vague
2:51
and overly broad motion to compel
2:53
from Donald Trump. I
2:56
know you're all shocked. A supplemental
2:58
classified motion to compel, which
3:00
has been filed under seal and
3:03
a motion from Trump to be able
3:06
to file a redacted version of that
3:08
same classified motion on the
3:10
public docket, which of course the government
3:12
opposes. We also have
3:15
a notice that Trump filed a challenge
3:17
to the DOJ's SIPA section four motion
3:19
under seal. And I
3:21
know that's a mouthful, but we're going to break it
3:23
all down for you. Yep, bunch
3:25
of motions. And Andy, let's start
3:28
with a motion to compel the court to order Jack
3:30
Smith to show cause why he shouldn't be held in
3:32
contempt, because this is my favorite thing. I
3:34
want to remind everyone about
3:37
exactly what Trump was asking for
3:39
in his original motion, because everyone's
3:41
like, oh, it was
3:43
kind of a win for Trump and sort
3:45
of a win for Jack Smith because, you
3:47
know, Jack Smith won't be in contempt, but
3:50
he can't file stuff on the docket anymore. But
3:54
he didn't just want to hold Jack
3:56
Smith in contempt. Listen to this list.
3:58
He wanted 11 things. He
4:00
wanted first to require the court to order Jack
4:02
Smith to show God why he shouldn't be held
4:04
in contempt. And that's the big part of the story.
4:06
That's what everybody's calling this. But
4:09
he also asked to dismiss his
4:11
case, to sanction
4:13
Jack Smith, to remove
4:15
Jack Smith from the case, to
4:18
order Jack Smith to pay Trump
4:20
some damages, to suspend
4:24
Jack Smith. Yeah.
4:27
He wanted to suspend him, remove
4:29
him, to draw adverse evidentiary inferences
4:31
against Jack Smith, to
4:34
bar Jack Smith from entering evidence
4:36
because of this, to
4:38
enter a default judgment in
4:40
favor of Trump. Okay.
4:43
To require Jack Smith
4:45
to obtain permission to file pleadings
4:47
in the future and to
4:50
order Jack Smith to completely withdraw
4:52
his motion in limine, which is one of the things –
4:55
I think it's the only thing he filed on the docket.
4:58
And there was a late developing
5:00
one in order requiring
5:02
Jack Smith to mow his lawn and wash
5:04
his car five times this summer. So
5:09
that's what Trump was asking for in this
5:12
motion. They made – like the news was
5:14
making him sound relatively sane, like, oh, he just
5:16
wants to show cause to hold him in contempt. No. He wanted all
5:19
that stuff. I
5:22
want him ordered to turn over his
5:24
entire baseball card collection at my house.
5:27
To flip it and reverse it.
5:32
Now, we know DOJ responded because we talked
5:34
about this before, pointing out that
5:36
before Judge Chutkin even issued her stay order,
5:38
the government filed a pleading saying, yeah, of
5:40
course the proceedings should be stayed, but we're going to
5:42
keep producing discovery and meeting our deadlines voluntarily.
5:44
And after that,
5:47
Judge Chutkin issued the stay order, and
5:49
in that order, she didn't expressly prohibit
5:52
the government from filing stuff on
5:54
the docket. Now, what's
5:56
new this week is that Trump filed a reply
5:58
to – the DOJ's
6:00
response? Yes indeed he did. So
6:04
Trump opens his response with, having
6:07
been caught knowingly, repeatedly, and
6:09
belatedly violating this court's stay
6:12
order, the special counsel
6:14
and his assistants, the prosecutors,
6:17
offer no excuse. Instead, they
6:20
engage in a failed attempt to
6:22
rewrite the record, claiming that the
6:24
stay order prohibits only those actions
6:26
that require a response from the
6:28
defendant. Okay so
6:30
but next AG, he
6:32
actually makes a decent argument. Okay? Yeah
6:35
I know. I don't think I've ever
6:37
said that in 60 shows
6:39
up until this point but okay here we
6:41
are. You always have to hold
6:43
out hope. Okay so he says
6:45
the prosecutors argue that
6:48
President Trump is not obligated to
6:50
review or respond to the prosecutor's
6:52
filings and discovery and therefore faces
6:55
no burden. This is
6:57
false. As an initial
6:59
matter, President Trump must examine all
7:01
documents the prosecutors file in this
7:04
case when they are filed to
7:06
determine whether and how he should
7:08
respond. And Allison that's because
7:10
there are actually things that
7:12
are not stayed, which
7:14
we've gone over in previous episodes,
7:17
including gag order violations and
7:19
bail conditions, violations of bail
7:22
conditions. So Judge Chutkin
7:24
still has jurisdiction over those and
7:26
if any of the government's filings are relevant
7:28
to things like that, well then Trump would
7:30
have to review the filings to make sure
7:32
he doesn't have to respond. You know it's
7:34
a little bit of nitpicking but it is
7:36
a good point and you know as we
7:39
know nitpicking is what lawyers do and I
7:41
think in this case they've picked a nit
7:43
that actually exists. I
7:45
also suspect it'll come up in Judge
7:47
Chutkin's ruling on this motion Now
7:50
the rest of the arguments are as you
7:53
would expect. They include quote,
7:55
as the prosecutors are fully aware
7:57
and no doubt intend, their
7:59
final filing of politically charged invective
8:01
such as the recently filed motion
8:04
in lemonade induces substantial
8:06
negative media coverage against President
8:09
Trump burdening him
8:11
with both personally by
8:13
falsely impugning his character
8:16
and professionally by undermining his
8:18
leading campaign for the 2024
8:21
presidential election. Worse, the
8:23
prosecutors publicized their untruthful
8:26
arguments knowing that
8:28
any press coverage will be
8:30
entirely one-sided without President Trump's
8:33
substantive responses. Okay,
8:35
he goes on to say, although
8:38
the prosecutors generically deny a
8:41
political motivation, such words are
8:43
empty. The prosecutor's
8:46
filings, including the motion in
8:48
lemonade, closely mirror the Biden
8:50
campaign's dishonest talking points, a
8:53
fact that the prosecutors do not and
8:56
cannot deny. Wow.
8:59
Andy, I find it rather hilarious that Trump
9:02
is complaining about vindictive political missives
9:05
in government court filings while making
9:07
politically charged invective like he's
9:10
mirroring the Biden campaign's dishonest talking
9:12
points. I
9:14
can't believe he's being political and speaking of political,
9:17
I am the best political. I'm tremendous. Yeah.
9:19
Don't get caught up in the hypocrisy. I mean,
9:21
if you do, you'll be caught up forever. So,
9:23
you know, and he was making
9:25
such a good point before that. He
9:27
had such tubes right over the
9:29
cliff with more of this totally
9:31
kind of legally
9:33
irrelevant ranting. But, you
9:36
know, just to be clear, judges
9:38
typically don't get involved in how
9:40
press coverage of a legal proceeding
9:42
affects the litigants, right? I
9:44
mean, they'll make the big decision at the
9:46
front end about whether cameras can come into
9:48
the courtroom or unsealing court records, things like
9:50
that. And then they just step back and
9:52
let the press do their thing. Their
9:55
job is not to protect a defendant from
9:57
the possibility of a bad reputation, which is
9:59
what Trump has stumbled right
10:01
into having been indicted 94 times.
10:06
So, you know, it's going
10:08
to happen, DJ. It's, uh, you
10:11
embarrass yourself. That's right. That's
10:13
right. So, Judge
10:15
Chuck in his issue to ruling, let's go over
10:17
what she has to say, shall we? Mm-hmm. She
10:20
opens up with defendant Donald J. Trump's filed
10:22
a motion for order to show cause why
10:24
prosecutors should not be held in contempt. He
10:26
contends that the government has violated a court
10:28
order by continuing to produce discovery
10:31
and by filing a motion in limine
10:33
while the deadlines in this case are
10:35
stayed. And then after that, she lists all
10:37
the other 10 things I told you
10:39
about that Trump wants. She quotes
10:41
it right from the thing. And
10:43
then in the discussion section, she says the
10:46
stay order did not clearly and
10:48
unambiguously prohibit the government's actions, the
10:52
actions to which the defendant objects. She's
10:54
saying, I didn't prohibit it. Staying the
10:56
deadline for a filing is not the same
10:59
thing as affirmatively prohibiting it. Oh,
11:01
good point. I
11:04
know the basic function of a deadline is
11:06
not to authorize a filing, but to
11:08
time limit it correspondingly, the
11:10
lifting of a deadline removes that
11:13
time limit, but does not bar
11:15
the filing, at least not necessarily. On
11:18
its own terms, then the stay orders
11:20
key operative sentence did not bar the
11:23
government from voluntary rather than obligatory compliance
11:25
with the pretrial orders now stayed deadlines.
11:27
So basically, government
11:30
didn't do anything wrong here. Yeah. And I
11:32
think she's she's also like, I don't know
11:34
whether it's her or her crack staff of
11:36
legal assistance, but
11:38
her writing is always so clear. She
11:41
makes a point and it rings in
11:43
your head like, oh my God, that's
11:45
so obvious. Yeah, it's something
11:47
I didn't think of. Yeah. That the
11:49
function of a deadline isn't to authorize your filing,
11:51
but to put a time limit on it. And
11:54
it was like when she came out and
11:56
talked about the, you know,
11:58
the logical fallacy of. of his double jeopardy
12:01
claim, the
12:04
antecedent, right? And I was
12:06
like, oh, yeah, duh, thank you for pointing out
12:08
the op, she's so good at that. Really impressive.
12:11
She goes on to say, or her crack staff, the
12:13
rest of the stay order did not
12:15
unambiguously forbid the government's actions either.
12:18
Defendant claims it contained an
12:20
explicit holding that additional discovery
12:22
and briefing would violate it.
12:24
That's incorrect, Trump, you're wrong. The
12:27
stay order reasoned that requiring
12:29
additional discovery or briefing would advance the
12:32
case toward trial or impose burdens of
12:34
litigation on the defendant. But neither
12:36
the court nor the government has imposed
12:38
any such requirement. And
12:41
as defendant acknowledges, Trump said himself, he
12:43
has consistent with his rights under the
12:45
stay order refused to accept or
12:47
substantively respond to the
12:50
government's actions, right? Yeah,
12:53
I mean, to me, as
12:55
I was reading this thing, I'm thinking like, what
12:57
she's basically saying here is the stay does
13:00
not entitle the defendant to
13:02
occupy some headspace or
13:04
fantasy world in which he can pretend he's
13:06
not a defendant in a criminal case, right?
13:08
It just means that some
13:10
things, most things can't continue, but
13:12
the case is still there, buddy.
13:15
It's still hovering out over you
13:17
ruining your reputation. Yep, and
13:19
she says moreover, by the way, the
13:22
government's productions and filings have been mostly
13:24
compatible with the stay orders for
13:26
a broader purpose, which is to relieve the defendant
13:28
from burdens of preparing for trial and other pretrial
13:31
litigation. The court
13:33
cannot conclude that merely receiving
13:35
discovery or an exhibit list
13:37
constitutes a meaningful burden. You
13:39
didn't prove your case. That's right. And
13:42
here's where we get to the part where she agrees with Trump a
13:44
little. She says the same is
13:46
largely but not completely true for the
13:48
motion in limine. Diligent
13:50
defense counsel would need to conduct a
13:52
preliminary review of each substantive motion in the
13:55
government files so that they can know
13:57
whether they need to take further action. While
13:59
that is not true, not a major burden because Trump was
14:01
like, it is the end of my life. I
14:03
have to. I can't
14:06
possibly pay them one more dime. She
14:10
says, while it's not a major burden,
14:12
it is a cognizable one. So
14:15
accordingly, the court will adopt Trump's
14:17
recommendation that the parties be forbidden
14:20
from filing any further substantive pretrial
14:22
motions without first seeking leave from
14:24
the court, which means you've got to get
14:26
permission first. Correct. So what
14:28
she's saying here is she agrees that at least for
14:31
the motion in limine, Trump's lawyers would have to open
14:33
it and review it and make sure it doesn't contain
14:35
anything that he has to respond to or that's still
14:37
within her jurisdiction. So she
14:39
grants in part and denies in part his motion,
14:42
meaning she denies his request to hold him
14:44
in contempt, dismiss the case, enter a summary
14:46
judgment, withdraw the motion in limine, order
14:49
the government to pay Trump money for
14:51
his troubles, suspend Jack Smith, remove
14:53
sanction Jack Smith, draw inverse evidentiary
14:55
interference and bar Jack Smith from
14:57
entering evidence. She denied
14:59
all that, but she granted the part where both parties
15:01
need to ask permission to file anything. And what's funny
15:04
is that doesn't
15:06
even bar Jack Smith from filing anything.
15:09
It just means he would need to get permission first to
15:11
do so. Exactly. In the
15:13
future. So if we had
15:15
to quantify this, 92% win
15:17
for Jack Smith, 8% win for Donald Trump.
15:23
Yeah. I mean, I think that's fair, right?
15:26
Yes. You
15:29
know, it's crazy that we
15:31
are so far down in
15:33
the weeds on this thing during
15:36
the period where the entire thing is
15:38
supposed to be stayed, right?
15:42
He has moved this issue
15:44
forward requiring lawyering and burdens
15:46
from both sides in
15:49
his objection to their requiring levying
15:51
burdens on him. It's just like,
15:53
oh, it's
15:55
just crossfire and it accomplishes nothing. But
15:57
here we are. I think, I think her,
15:59
you know, She definitely split the baby on
16:01
this one in a very reasonable way. He
16:04
certainly can't complain about it. I don't know.
16:07
He will. You know, if I were
16:09
Jack Smith, I might be tempted to send him
16:11
one piece of discovery every day to just
16:14
keep filling up that inbox
16:16
like with a steady drip,
16:18
drip, like water torture. But
16:21
I don't know. Or the next time
16:23
something is due, I assume he would
16:25
just file notice with
16:28
the court for permission for leave
16:30
to file a substantive motion and then
16:33
see how she rules on it. In
16:37
that request for leave, request for permission,
16:39
he would say, Trump doesn't have to open
16:42
it. He doesn't have to respond. There's zero burden on Trump,
16:44
but I want to get it in. You know?
16:46
Yeah. If it was something you
16:48
felt strongly about, you could definitely do that. He's not going
16:50
to want to do that on anything that he thinks the
16:52
judge might go the other way on because it's kind
16:54
of a, you know, like a brush back. But
16:57
something important came up. I have no doubt they
16:59
would try. Yeah. We'll
17:02
see what happens. We obviously
17:05
keep following this. As
17:08
we don't yet have, and I'm checking right now,
17:10
I'm checking Pacer. We
17:12
don't yet have the immunity
17:14
decision from the
17:16
DC Circuit Court. But
17:19
we do have a lot of other stuff to cover today. So
17:21
we'll do that, but we have to take a
17:23
quick break. Everybody stick around. We'll be right
17:26
back. Caesar's

20:02
right, everybody, welcome back. This is where the DC
20:04
Circuit Court's ruling on immunity was going to go.
20:07
This block was going to be dedicated to that. So
20:10
I've lost like two bets, one with myself
20:13
and one with you, Andy, because- It's
20:16
not your week for bets. I
20:18
left space in this script for that,
20:20
but we have so much to cover
20:23
that fortunately we definitely have a lot
20:25
to talk about. But
20:28
if we do get that ruling in enough time
20:30
before this episode airs, you'll
20:33
hear that- Now. Okay,
20:35
now, if you didn't hear anything
20:38
about the immunity ruling, let's
20:40
get back to what we were going to discuss. And that's what
20:42
happened in another case in the DC Circuit Court
20:44
of Appeals that they were
20:46
considering this week and gave a ruling
20:49
on. This was the search of information
20:51
stored at the premises controlled by Twitter on
20:53
a petition for
20:55
re-hearing on BOC, right? Yes,
20:58
yeah. So there's a lot of
21:00
history behind this one. You'll
21:03
remember that almost a year ago, Jack
21:05
Smith and Twitter were locked in a
21:08
battle over records obtained in a search
21:10
of Donald Trump's Twitter account. So
21:13
Jack Smith was looking for all kinds
21:15
of information that we've gone over in
21:17
previous episodes, including but
21:19
not limited to Trump's phone location
21:21
while tweeting, info about
21:23
who was signed into his account and
21:26
when, info about private direct
21:28
messages, search history, everyone
21:30
who liked and shared his tweets, the
21:33
tweets that he liked and shared, just
21:35
volumes of stuff, tons of stuff pursuant
21:37
to a court authorized search warrant. And
21:40
we've seen that information come up in court
21:43
filings and in reporting from ABC News that
21:46
it was Trump that tweeted the infamous
21:48
Pence didn't have the courage tweet on
21:50
January 6th and also
21:52
that he did not send a tweet telling everyone
21:55
to go home or to be peaceful. That of
21:57
course was Dan Scavino. Now both of
21:59
these things we would not. know without the information
22:01
about who was signed into the account
22:03
and where the phone was located when
22:05
the tweets went out. And
22:08
we also got a filing from Jack Smith about
22:10
expert witnesses that will testify about
22:12
how that Twitter data was used.
22:16
Now you'll recall that the search
22:18
warrant also had a non-disclosure order
22:20
that prohibited Twitter from informing Trump
22:22
about the warrant. Twitter
22:24
filed a motion to fight the
22:26
NDO because they wanted to be
22:28
able to tell Donald Trump about the search
22:30
warrant and also to block some of the
22:32
data from being sent. But they lost those
22:34
motions and Jack Smith got
22:37
all the Twitter data he was seeking sometime
22:39
around February of last year. Now
22:42
Twitter lost their bid to stay the
22:44
case but
22:46
the appeal of that decision continued
22:48
and that's basically where
22:50
we are today. The DC Circuit
22:53
Court denied Twitter's appeal and
22:55
Twitter filed a petition to have their
22:57
case heard on Bonk. That's of course
23:00
with the entire court, right? Initially
23:02
you get if they take your case
23:05
you get a three-judge panel and
23:07
if you don't like the decision that they make
23:09
you can ask for a re-hearing of the same
23:11
issue before the entire panel. It's like 12 or
23:13
13 judges in the DC
23:16
Circuit and
23:18
so they did that here. And this
23:20
latest ruling is the denial of the
23:22
on Bonk rehearing. The
23:25
DC Circuit says quote, upon
23:27
consideration of appellant's petition for
23:29
rehearing on Bonk, the
23:31
response thereto the amicus curae brief
23:33
filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation
23:36
in support of a rehearing on
23:38
Bonk and the absence of
23:40
a request by any member of the court
23:42
for a vote, it is
23:44
ordered that the petition be denied.
23:47
It's really interesting to me because I just
23:50
assumed that every time someone requested
23:52
an on Bonk rehearing there would automatically
23:54
be a vote and then you have
23:56
to have a majority of the judges
23:59
say yes. we want to hear it. But
24:01
now I guess they have to vote on a vote.
24:03
Yeah, somebody's got to ask for a vote and in
24:05
this case no one even asked, which
24:08
is amazing, especially considering what
24:10
happened next, which is that...
24:12
It seems weird, like if Raul wanted to
24:15
pop off, it seems like she would have
24:17
voted for at least asked
24:20
for a vote. She called for the vote, right?
24:22
Maybe she knew she's like sounding more and more
24:24
like Congress, maybe she knew she couldn't get it
24:27
on the floor or something and so she didn't
24:29
ask. So conservative member
24:31
of the court, Naomi Rao, who is
24:33
a Trump appointee, she
24:35
had something to say and the other
24:37
conservative justices joined her. So I quote,
24:40
a statement by Circuit Judge
24:42
Rao joined by Circuit Judges
24:44
Henderson, Katzsis, and Walker respecting the
24:46
denial of the petition for rehearing
24:49
on Bonk is attached. Yeah,
24:52
so they're like, we
24:54
agree, no rehearing, but
24:56
I got something I want to say. Yeah, I've just
24:59
got to air this out a little bit. Yeah, and
25:01
she writes, Rao
25:04
writes, this case turned on the First
25:06
Amendment rights of a social media company, but
25:08
looming in the background are consequential and novel
25:10
questions about the executive privilege and
25:12
the balance of power between the President, Congress, and
25:14
the courts. Seeking access
25:16
to former President Donald Trump's Twitter
25:19
account, Special Counsel Jack Smith directed
25:21
a search warrant at Twitter and
25:23
obtained a non-disclosure order that
25:25
prevented Twitter from informing Trump about the search.
25:28
The Special Counsel's approach obscured
25:30
and bypassed any assertion
25:33
of executive privilege and
25:35
dodged the careful balance Congress
25:37
struck in the Presidential Records
25:39
Act. The district court
25:41
and this court permitted this
25:43
arrangement without any consideration of
25:45
the consequential executive privilege issues
25:47
raised by this unprecedented search.
25:51
Once informed of the search, President Trump
25:53
could have intervened to
25:55
protect claims of executive privilege, but
25:57
did not. And so those issues are
25:59
not properly before the en banc court. They
26:02
aren't properly before you either, Naomi Ral.
26:05
Yeah, they're not before you at all. Like
26:08
I honestly, that should be
26:10
the end of it, Andy, but Ral wants to keep talking
26:12
about it. It's like she decided to write an
26:14
opinion piece of the Wall Street Journal or something
26:16
about it. I mean. Yeah, you
26:18
know those memes where it's like nobody, absolutely
26:20
nobody. Naomi Ral. Well,
26:23
nonetheless, executive privilege. This
26:26
is like a textbook example of that. And
26:28
she goes on to say, nonetheless, executive privilege
26:31
is vital to the energetic and independent
26:33
exercise of the president's article two authority
26:36
and to the separation of powers. While
26:38
the privilege may yield to the needs of
26:40
a criminal investigation, they do. In
26:44
making this determination, the Supreme Court and
26:46
this circuit have always carefully balanced executive
26:48
privilege against other constitutional interests.
26:51
By contrast, the court here permitted a
26:53
special prosecutor to avoid even the assertion
26:55
of executive privilege by allowing a warrant
26:58
for presidential communications from a third
27:00
party and then imposing a
27:02
non-disclosure order. Because these issues
27:04
are likely to recur, I
27:06
write separately to explain how the decisions
27:08
in this case break with longstanding precedent
27:11
and gut the constitutional protections
27:13
for the executive privilege. Which
27:16
is weird because he had a chance to exert
27:18
it and he did not. And
27:21
also, because these issues
27:23
are likely to recur. Yeah,
27:27
I mean. When again are we gonna have a 2703 search
27:30
warrant executed on a
27:32
president's Twitter account because he tried to overthrow
27:34
the government? Or is she talking about how
27:36
he's such a one man crime
27:39
factory that we might face
27:41
this again in the future just with him in these
27:43
matters? I don't understand what you're saying. That's the only
27:45
way that I can imagine it actually because I know
27:47
your original comment was, there's
27:51
some humor in it but it's true. This
27:55
thing that she's pointing to can only come
27:57
up in the context of a criminal investigation.
28:00
talking about a congressional request
28:03
in the course of some congressional investigation.
28:05
They asked Twitter, can we have all
28:07
this information? No. They wouldn't have gotten
28:09
it. You need to be in the
28:11
context of a criminal investigation with a
28:13
grand jury to get in front of
28:15
a judge to make the request
28:17
for a search warrant, to have that warrant signed by
28:19
a federal judge. I mean like... And
28:21
it has to be a president because we're talking
28:23
about separation of powers. It can't just be like
28:26
we want Bob's Twitter info. It has
28:28
to be. It's executive privilege. It's the
28:30
only person on earth who can assert
28:33
it. Now, as a kind of academic
28:35
issue, she's right. It is a little
28:39
bit weird because what the government
28:42
asked for here, if
28:45
a president, any president, former
28:47
president was aware of the request,
28:49
they could make a legitimate executive
28:52
privilege, you know, opposition.
28:55
And it could very well be sustained
28:59
because what you're talking about
29:02
could go right at private
29:04
conversations between the president and
29:06
his closest advisors regarding presidential
29:09
business. That's like the very
29:11
heart of what's protected by
29:13
executive privilege. And,
29:15
you know, there's a question about... Anytime
29:18
you're talking about executive privilege, usually the specter
29:20
that looms over it is the separation of
29:22
powers. It usually comes up in the context
29:24
of Congress asking for information that the executive
29:26
doesn't want to turn over. And
29:29
the court is very careful about protecting
29:31
those separation of powers
29:34
distinctions. But in this
29:36
case, the weird thing is that
29:38
none of this... Courts
29:40
don't usually opine on things
29:42
that are not before them. And
29:45
none of this is before the
29:47
DC Circuit. And she's kind of like, you
29:50
know, she's kind of like angry
29:53
that it's not before them. Well, it's not. No,
29:57
no. And when Trump did find out, he... He
30:00
didn't try to exert
30:02
executive privilege over those communications. So
30:05
he had a chance, albeit
30:08
probably not right at the beginning because
30:10
there was a non-disclosure order. But
30:13
the fact that there was a non-disclosure order on
30:16
a search warrant for President's private communications, that
30:18
I think is what she has an issue
30:20
with even though it's not before her. Yeah,
30:23
like he didn't have the opportunity
30:25
to raise what could have been
30:27
an important and relevant executive privilege
30:29
issue because we kept
30:31
him from knowing about
30:34
that by upholding the
30:36
non-disclosure. It's a little bit strange.
30:38
The other thing that was interesting to me
30:40
here is that one of her co-signers was
30:42
Henderson, who is also on the panel
30:45
of the hearing the immunity issue. But
30:49
her questions, if I remember correctly, in
30:51
that hearing were pretty strong. So
30:54
I don't know that it's any indication of how she's
30:57
going to go on that. Yeah,
30:59
and yeah, she really was – she had a lot
31:01
to say about jurisdiction. I
31:03
feel like she thought that
31:06
the D.C. circuit does have jurisdiction
31:08
in the immunity matter while
31:10
it seems like maybe Pan didn't
31:13
think. She thought it was an easy
31:15
question that Midland Asphalt would preclude them
31:17
from hearing immunity.
31:21
And I just did a full article
31:25
on post.news,
31:28
I guess is what it is, about that.
31:30
Because I like
31:32
to try to guess what's going to be in
31:35
their ruling. I lost the bet, right?
31:39
I thought it was going to come out last week. And you're
31:41
like, no, probably next week. And here we are Friday in the
31:44
afternoon. We still don't have it. It's
31:46
been what, 10 days or something. And
31:48
I was like, what could possibly be taking so long? And
31:50
I have some theories about it. And
31:54
honestly, it's not taking that long. I mean, to
31:58
expect a court to come back in 10 days. days with
32:00
a ruling on something so difficult
32:02
is super, super fast, right?
32:05
But we all, I expected it to be faster
32:08
because of the urgency of the case.
32:10
But yeah, I think that they're weighing
32:12
the jurisdiction question and maybe they're coming
32:14
up with a hypothetical jurisdiction so
32:17
that they can get to the merits under the hypothetical jurisdiction
32:19
doctrine. And we're going to do, I was all prepared to
32:21
talk about it today with you, Andy, but I lost the
32:23
bet. Well, it lingers, right? It's going
32:25
to be, we're going to get it at
32:27
one point. And I also feel like they're
32:29
taking, it's just a little bit of time.
32:31
It's still very fast if they come out
32:33
with the thing in another week, it's still
32:36
pretty fast. But I
32:38
think they're trying to be careful to
32:40
put it out, not just
32:42
as a denied, but as
32:45
a very complete, solidly researched,
32:47
well articulated argument. And
32:49
by doing so, you have a much
32:51
greater likelihood that the Supreme Court will
32:53
not pick up the case if asked.
32:56
Right. And that they, an en banc,
32:59
re-hearing will be denied much as it
33:01
was here. Correct. In this
33:03
case, although Naomi Rao will probably come out
33:06
and do a song and dance anyway. We'll
33:08
see. With her jazz
33:10
hands, with her executive privilege hands.
33:12
That's a new thing. Nice. Executive
33:15
privilege hands. Are they fists? Yeah, you
33:17
shake your fist, still yelling at the
33:19
clouds. All right,
33:21
that is the Twitter
33:24
denial for re-hearing en banc
33:27
at the DC Circuit Court. We do
33:29
have a lot more to get to, lots of stuff going
33:31
on down in Florida, but we need to take another
33:34

Welcome back. Okay, it's time
36:16
to head down to Florida. First
36:19
up, Judge Cannon has ruled. Yes,
36:22
I said that, Judge Cannon has ruled.
36:24
She issued a decision on nothing.
36:26
A ruling, oh my gosh. Well,
36:29
kind of. Kind of, yeah. She issued
36:31
a ruling on Jack Smith's motion to
36:34
require Donald Trump to notify the court
36:36
of his intent to use an advice
36:38
of counsel defense. Now, you're
36:41
gonna remember that Jack Smith filed the same
36:43
motion in D.C. and
36:45
there, Judge Chuck can grant it, ordering
36:48
Trump to notify the court of
36:50
an advice of counsel defense by January
36:52
18th. Of
36:54
course, since the trial is stayed, Trump will
36:57
get a new deadline once the immunity issue
36:59
is resolved. So let's
37:01
refresh this issue a little bit. Jack
37:03
Smith's reasoning for getting notice of Trump's
37:05
intent to use an advice of counsel
37:07
defense. Well, first
37:09
I guess, what is an advice of counsel
37:12
defense? That's basically when you come
37:14
in, your defense, you've been charged with some
37:16
criminal conduct and you come in and say,
37:18
well, my lawyer told me it was okay.
37:21
Therefore, I couldn't possibly have
37:23
had the requisite mental intent to violate
37:25
the law because my lawyer said it
37:27
was okay. Therefore, I thought it was
37:30
not illegal. That's
37:32
basically what it would be. Now,
37:35
if you make an advice
37:37
of counsel defense, you have
37:39
to, or you do also wave your
37:44
attorney-client privilege with
37:46
respect to anything you told your attorney and
37:48
he or she told you. That sounds a
37:50
little bit weird, but it makes sense, right?
37:53
If your defense is, well, my attorney told me
37:56
this was okay, then it makes
37:59
sense that. The court needs
38:01
now some evidence that that actually happened.
38:04
What did your attorney actually tell you? So
38:07
if Trump is going to make that
38:09
defense, well then Jack Smith would need
38:12
time to get his hands on all
38:14
those previously privileged communications from Trump and
38:17
then they would need to do some
38:19
follow-up investigation, interview the lawyer, interview
38:21
other people who might be witnesses to these
38:24
communications, things like that. Then
38:27
he would be required... Or find an email where they said,
38:29
hey, we killed a guy on the way and buried the
38:31
body over here. Now, oh well, now we have
38:33
to investigate that. Yeah, exactly. Whatever pops
38:35
up. Anything that springs from
38:37
that is fair game. Then
38:40
of course, after those investigations are
38:42
done, anything that he's
38:44
found might be discoverable. So he
38:46
didn't then have to provide discovery to
38:48
Trump along with any new witnesses that
38:50
he would want to bring in to
38:52
refute the defense. So there's all kinds
38:54
of ways that just asserting this defense
38:57
could really stretch things out and
39:00
put everybody to a lot of extra work. That's
39:03
why he... I think it was asking for
39:05
a 60-day notice in this particular case. Yeah,
39:08
and of course he made the point that
39:10
it's not a secret that Trump might be
39:12
considering using such a defense because
39:15
his lawyers basically told everyone on television
39:17
that multiple times that he intends to
39:19
use that defense. So he's
39:21
not making this up. It seems he's
39:23
not intruding
39:26
on Trump's ability
39:28
to consider what defenses he's going
39:30
to raise and can make those
39:33
decisions in private. He's already made them
39:35
publicly. So that was
39:37
basically why Smith filed
39:40
that motion. So
39:42
anyway, Judge Chutkin, she granted Smith's motion
39:44
in DC, but roll
39:47
the dice in Florida. Denied.
39:52
Denied. Straight up denied.
39:55
Okay, I quote from the order.
39:58
Paperless order. Denying
40:00
without prejudice, special counsel's motion to
40:03
compel disclosure regarding advice of counsel
40:05
defense. The court has
40:07
reviewed the motion, the defendant's opposition,
40:09
the special counsel reply, and is
40:11
fully advised on the premise. Assuming
40:15
the facts and circumstances in this case
40:17
warrant an order compelling disclosure of an
40:19
advice of counsel trial defense, the
40:22
court determines that such a request
40:24
is not amenable to proper consideration
40:26
at this juncture prior
40:28
to at least partial
40:30
resolution of pretrial motions,
40:34
transmission to defendants of the special
40:36
counsel exhibits and witness lists, and
40:39
other disclosures as may become necessary.
40:42
Special counsel's motion is therefore denied without
40:44
prejudice. So she's basically saying it's
40:46
not proper to make that motion now because
40:49
there's still a lot of things that
40:52
the prosecutors have to turn over
40:55
to the defendant. And presumably she's
40:57
reasoning, we don't know this because
40:59
she didn't state her reasons, but
41:02
she's reasoning that Trump
41:04
wouldn't be able to make a decision
41:08
about actually wanting to use that defense
41:10
until after he gets this stuff from
41:12
prosecutors. She has all the stuff. We've
41:15
read, we've gone over this discovery
41:19
productions and speedy trial reports and
41:21
they have everything. They have everything.
41:25
You know, I can't explain it. Well,
41:29
you don't have to. Everyone knows what's
41:31
going on here. She's putting it off. She
41:34
does absolutely the least
41:36
amount humanly
41:38
possible at any juncture.
41:43
You've heard of the path of least resistance. She's
41:46
the path of least judgment. She's
41:49
just not going to put her neck out on
41:52
this case in any way
41:54
whatsoever if she doesn't absolutely have to.
41:56
And that approach is what's going to
41:59
drag this trial. into
42:01
2025. Yeah, she's
42:03
the she's the queen of procrastinating
42:06
legally procrastinating. Yeah. Yeah,
42:09
and I mean, it was
42:12
what was funny was in DC in the day, you
42:14
know, in the Judge Chutkin DC
42:16
case, Trump opposed the motion
42:18
kind of his you remember, we talked
42:21
about it, he was like, yeah, you
42:23
can't make me it's unconstitutional. But maybe
42:25
I could do January. That's right. Because he
42:27
because Jack Smith wanted December 18. And he
42:31
said, but his argument went from it's
42:33
unconstitutional to that's too fast to maybe
42:35
January. I can't
42:37
possibly do this art, I'll go halfway.
42:39
Oh, and by the way, that was all in one filing.
42:41
Yeah, in the alternative.
42:44
Yeah, yeah. And he
42:46
didn't even do it like the way that it should be done, which
42:48
is I think this is unconstitutional and should be completely denied.
42:50
But if you're going to grant it, I need more
42:52
time. He didn't even do that. It was just
42:54
this weird meandering movement of
42:57
goalposts. And so she granted
42:59
a January 18. But like you said, it's
43:01
still stayed. And so that
43:03
will be pushed back to a future date.
43:05
Yeah. All right, so next up
43:08
in Florida, Trump has filed a
43:10
mirror motion to compel
43:12
discovery. You'll remember we went over
43:14
his motion to compel in DC where he
43:17
wanted everything all the records from
43:19
all the agencies ever
43:21
existed and all of the
43:23
classified documents and
43:26
materials underlying the what's
43:30
it called the ICA, the
43:32
intelligence community assessment of Russia.
43:35
Yeah, I want everything from everyone all the time. And if
43:38
anyone ever uttered a word that I might be innocent, you're
43:40
gonna have to send that to me too, right? So
43:42
it was just a big broad thing. That's
43:44
also where he declared that it was Russia that
43:47
interfered in the elections. And it was Russia
43:49
that made the mob on January 6th angry,
43:51
not me. It was Russia. Right
43:54
actor, wrong election. But anyway, I
43:56
digress. Yeah,
43:59
I'm sure that doesn't. hit weird for you in all the
44:01
candy. No, not at all. So motion
44:03
to compel discovery. You're asking the court
44:05
to enforce a request for information relevant
44:07
to the case. Documents, interviews, transcripts. It's
44:09
going to be something like, let's say
44:11
the government in a corruption trial says,
44:14
you told our cooperating witness you wanted
44:16
$100,000 and we have it on audio
44:18
tape and they've
44:20
only provided you just that clip of the
44:22
tape. You would go back as
44:24
the defendant and say, we file a motion to
44:26
compel the government to turn over the entire tape
44:28
because we want to hear the whole conversation. That
44:30
sort of thing. It's a legitimate request,
44:34
but not in a way that we've seen it
44:36
here. Yeah, and it has
44:38
to be specific and the defendant has to know
44:40
it exists. And
44:42
you haven't received it yet from the prosecution. The
44:45
materials can be Brady materials, which are records
44:47
that could exculpate or show the
44:49
defendant is not guilty. They
44:52
could be Giglio, which helps the defendant
44:54
impeach witnesses against him or Jenks
44:56
material, which is government witnesses prior
44:58
statements that the government has
45:01
to produce basically anything the defense needs
45:03
before trial. Here's what he says.
45:05
President Donald J. Trump respectfully submits, I
45:08
like the respectfully part, this
45:10
memorandum and the accompanying classified supplement.
45:12
He filed an accompanying
45:14
classified supplement under seal in
45:17
support of defendant's motions for an order
45:19
regarding the scope of the prosecution team
45:22
and to compel the special counsel's office
45:24
to produce certain discoverable materials. Now
45:26
Trump raised the scope of the prosecution team
45:28
in DC as well. And
45:31
in that case, Jack Smith responded.
45:33
Now Jack Smith hasn't responded to
45:36
what we're talking about here yet, the Florida one, this
45:38
motion to compel, but he did respond to his motion
45:40
to compel in DC. And
45:43
in that motion, Jack Smith said, the
45:45
government's Brady and Rule 16 obligations extend
45:47
to all material
45:50
in the possession, custody or control
45:53
of the prosecution team, which includes
45:55
only the prosecution itself and those
45:57
entities that are quote, closely aligned.
46:00
with the prosecution. Correct. That's
46:02
from U.S. v. Brooks. The closely aligned
46:04
with the prosecution inquiry is fact-intensive and
46:07
must be resolved on a case-by-case basis.
46:10
It's limited to entities that have
46:12
significantly cooperated with and provided substantial
46:14
information to the government's investigation. Only
46:17
where such a relationship exists and
46:20
the government has access to the documents will
46:22
courts in this district consider whether
46:24
the government should be required to
46:26
obtain documents that meet the materiality
46:29
requirements. So he says a lot
46:31
there, but basically what he's saying is the
46:34
prosecution team can't be every agency in
46:36
the executive branch. You
46:38
can only ask us for stuff we have from
46:40
agencies that are us and
46:43
those that we closely aligned
46:45
with the prosecution, and
46:48
those have to be considered on a case-by-case basis.
46:51
That's exactly right. They're not responsible for every
46:53
document across the entirety of the United States
46:55
government. They don't have to search all
46:58
these holdings for all this vaguely described
47:00
stuff. They
47:03
are obligated to disclose things that
47:05
are in their possession and custody.
47:10
When they're talking about related entities, that's
47:13
like if a case was worked on
47:15
a task force, like let's say the
47:17
Joint Terrorism Task Force brings a case
47:19
against an accused terrorist.
47:21
The two case agents are one's an FBI
47:23
agent and one is a DEA agent. They're
47:27
going to have to turn over any relevant documents
47:29
that are in the custody of the DEA because
47:31
they're a partner on that case. But they don't
47:33
have to go out and start knocking
47:35
on the door at the Environmental Protection Agency
47:38
and asking if they have any negative comments
47:40
about Donald Trump. That's not part
47:42
of your discovery obligation. And
47:45
Jack Smith says that. Again, when I'm quoting
47:47
Jack Smith, I'm quoting from his reply to
47:49
Trump's motion to compel in DC because we
47:51
don't yet have his response to this Florida
47:53
one. But I imagine it's going
47:55
to be largely the same. But Jack Smith set up
47:58
in DC to require the government to search the... files
48:00
of every agency in the executive branch would
48:02
not only wreak havoc, but would give the
48:04
defense access to information not readily available to
48:06
the prosecution. Because he
48:09
cannot satisfy the relevant test, the
48:11
defendant invents his own standard,
48:13
misapplies district case law, and
48:15
contorts facts to his liking.
48:18
Now keep in mind the cases that are cited
48:20
in the D.C. district are going
48:22
to be different than the cases cited in
48:25
the 11th district, which is down in Florida.
48:28
Basically Donald wanted all kinds of vague
48:30
documents, documents that didn't exist, like the
48:33
missing January 6th committee documents, and
48:36
documents from pretty much every agency in the executive
48:38
branch. Not to mention a bunch of stuff
48:40
that's classified and the Department of Justice's prosecution
48:42
team does not possess or even have
48:44
access to. And
48:46
as Jack Smith wrote in his response
48:49
to Trim's similar motion in D.C., the
48:51
defendant's view of discovery is untethered to
48:53
any statute, rule, or case, and
48:55
lacks both specificity and justification. Because
48:58
two things are very important, specificity and
49:01
justification. The information he seeks is
49:03
not in the government's possession, and in many cases
49:05
doesn't appear to exist, and in any
49:07
event is not discoverable pursuant to Brady,
49:09
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16, or
49:12
any other authority. So
49:14
the filing in Florida from Trump is no different.
49:17
Trump's lawyers write, these issues are central
49:19
to the instant motion because the special counsel's
49:21
office is seeking to avert its eyes from
49:24
exculpatory discoverable evidence in
49:27
the hands of other senior officials at the White
49:29
House, the Department of Justice, and the
49:31
FBI who provided guidance and
49:33
assistance as this lawless
49:35
mission proceeded, and the
49:37
agencies that supported the flawed investigation from
49:40
its inception like NARA, the National Archives,
49:44
the Officer of the Director of
49:46
National Intelligence, ODNI, and other
49:48
politically charged components of the intelligence community.
49:51
In the Department of Energy, Andy,
49:54
is what Trump mentions in here. And
49:57
accordingly, for the reasons set forth below, the courts should...
50:00
conduct fact finding on any disputed facts
50:02
relating to the scope of the prosecution
50:04
team, enter an order
50:06
resolving the party's dispute on that issue, and
50:09
order special counsel's office to produce the request
50:11
to discovery. So he not only wants everything
50:14
under the sun, he wants Judge Cannon
50:16
to conduct a fact finding so
50:19
that they can settle their argument about what
50:21
the prosecution team is, which is developed
50:24
law. It's so typical
50:26
though. What he wants is to
50:28
create another whole subcategory
50:30
of litigation that has to be
50:33
fought through and objected to and
50:35
appealed from to further
50:38
delay this already delayed process.
50:41
That's what all of this is about. Those lawyers
50:43
know that this is nonsense, but
50:46
it's another motion which requires more
50:49
response and then goes
50:51
into the black hole of judicial
50:53
consideration by Judge Cannon. They'll
50:55
sit there for months before you ever get a ruling,
50:57
and then maybe you can appeal it and
51:00
who knows, maybe you can argue for an locutory
51:02
appeal to slow things down. Or
51:04
if she actually grants it, now
51:06
you've created like, it's almost
51:08
like a separate SIPA-like process to
51:11
determine discovery demands. I mean it's
51:14
a mini-trial, they call them like
51:16
mini-trials, right? Yeah. No
51:18
cases would ever be concluded if
51:21
you ran them in this way. You just
51:23
can't. Yeah,
51:25
and Trump even says in this motion
51:27
to compel in Florida, the Florida one,
51:29
no defendant is required to predict
51:31
every form of exculpatory discoverable evidence
51:34
that exists. He's admitting, I don't
51:36
know specifically what's missing. I'm
51:39
not a mind reader, he's saying
51:41
that because he doesn't know of anything
51:43
specific. He's
51:46
saying Judge Cannon should just order the DOJ to
51:48
produce these ghost documents that exist in Trump's
51:50
mind that will totally exonerate him,
51:52
I guess. Like I said,
51:54
you have to be specific, it has to be material. You
51:57
can't add a bunch of executive branch agencies to
51:59
the prosecution. prosecution team because you want all their
52:01
stuff. If
52:04
DOJ has seen, possesses,
52:06
or knows about any document or material that would help
52:08
your case or help you impeach a witness, they'll hand
52:10
it over. They have to. And
52:13
besides, Jack Smith said in DC, even if
52:15
the defendant could prove that the scope of
52:18
the prosecution team was boundless, he's not entitled
52:20
to discovery unless he can meet a burden
52:22
of showing materiality. So there's that whole second
52:24
layer of materiality. So
52:26
Andy, like I said, I imagine DOJ's response
52:28
to Trump's motion to compel in Florida will
52:31
be very much like his response to the
52:33
one in DC. It'll just have different case
52:35
citations because it's a different circuit, different district.
52:37
I think that's exactly right. The
52:39
argument is the same. We have thresholds
52:44
like materiality and relevance
52:46
for exactly this purpose,
52:48
to make sure that
52:50
defendants can't just attack
52:53
the prosecution with irrelevant nonsense as
52:55
a means of slowing things down.
52:58
There's a – before it
53:00
qualifies as an enforceable discovery
53:03
demand, you have to meet
53:05
these thresholds of materiality and
53:08
relevance. So I – now,
53:11
I mean, it was pretty predictable
53:13
how Judge Chuck can handle it. I'm
53:16
hoping it's not predictable how Judge
53:18
Cannon will handle it. I'm hoping
53:20
she'll actually tow the line here.
53:23
It's not a hard issue. Really isn't.
53:27
But here we are and who knows what's going to
53:29
happen. Yeah, do
53:31
not know, but we've got some other filings down there.
53:35
We do. We do. So
53:37
next up, we have a series of filings which
53:40
kicks off with Trump filing a motion for
53:42
permission to file a redacted brief. Okay,
53:44
so along with the motion to compel we just
53:47
discussed, Trump filed exhibits
53:49
under seal because they include
53:51
discovery material because you can't
53:53
file discovery publicly without permission
53:55
from the court. You can't just take things
53:57
that you got from the prosecutors and discovery
53:59
and – start throwing it out to the
54:01
general public. So
54:03
Trump is asking to unseal these exhibits in
54:05
support of his motion to compel. Per
54:08
the rules of court, Trump has
54:10
to ask what the government's position is,
54:13
and the government of
54:15
course has one. And they
54:17
said, quote, because the government learned
54:19
today of the defense's intention to
54:21
seek permission to unseal these documents,
54:24
the government does not know exactly what they
54:26
are and can't take a position. Once
54:29
the government has reviewed the materials, the defense
54:31
seeks permission to unseal, we will respond to
54:33
the motion to unseal by January 18, 2024.
54:38
Then on January 18, the government
54:40
filed its response saying basically
54:42
they agree with the idea of transparency,
54:45
but oppose in part because
54:47
unsealing these documents would expose
54:49
Trump's legal distortions. And they
54:51
oppose revealing the identity of
54:54
government witnesses or other discreet,
54:56
sensitive information such as one
54:59
exhibit that includes uncharged conduct
55:02
of one or more individuals. So
55:04
the government says, quote,
55:07
the government has no objection to
55:09
the public filing of defendants brief
55:11
and exhibits beyond these limited terms.
55:14
For the above reasons, the government
55:16
requests that the court deny the
55:18
defendant's request to unseal the information
55:20
and materials described in sealed attachments
55:22
A and B and direct
55:24
that they remain subject to the
55:26
protective order. So again,
55:30
we of course will let you know what
55:32
Judge Cannon decides. It seems pretty straightforward. And
55:34
I really feel like the government kind of
55:36
went out of their way to go to
55:39
kind of not
55:43
just oppose the entire thing,
55:47
taking a very absolutist position. They're trying
55:49
to be reasonable here. Basically
55:53
that kind of shows the bright and shining
55:55
path that she should follow in her order.
55:58
But who's to say? Yeah, it
56:00
seems like handholding, like hey, Judge Cannon, we're
56:03
cool with these exhibits, but
56:05
not A and B because they contain these
56:07
things that you can't put on the thing.
56:09
Exposing uncharged criminal conduct by other, you know,
56:11
against other people, that's like defamatory to these
56:14
other people who haven't been charged
56:16
with anything or exposing the identity
56:19
of government witnesses before the
56:21
trial. Like, those are very routine things
56:23
that prosecutors go out of the way
56:25
and courts go out of their way
56:27
to protect. It certainly
56:29
seems like they should be protected in the context
56:31
of this kind of goofy motion. Yeah,
56:34
seems like it to me as well and we'll
56:36
let you know when and if she makes a
56:38
ruling. Yeah. All right, we have
56:41
one more story and of course listener questions to get to. We're
56:43
going to take one more quick break and be

59:23
everybody, welcome back. Andy, I wanted to
59:26
bring up a quick story about
59:28
Jeffrey Clark's disbarment proceedings. This
59:30
is coming from Kyle Chaney and Josh Gerstein
59:33
at Politico who picked up on this story.
59:35
I want to bring it up because it
59:37
could be Jack Smith adjacent in
59:40
the DC prosecution. They write,
59:42
Donald Trump has injected himself into disbarment
59:44
proceedings against Jeffrey Clark, raising the
59:46
specter that the former president will
59:48
attempt to assert executive privilege to
59:50
block crucial testimony from senior
59:53
administration officials or force
59:55
months of litigation on the matter. In
59:57
a letter to Clark dated January 12th, Trump
59:59
attorney Todd Blanche urged Clark
1:00:01
to ensure that neither he nor other
1:00:04
witnesses talk about confidential conversations they had
1:00:06
while Trump was in office. Those
1:00:08
conversations could be covered by Trump's
1:00:11
executive privilege and other related
1:00:13
privileges, including law enforcement privilege,
1:00:15
attorney-client privilege, and deliberative
1:00:18
process privilege. Now,
1:00:20
the Biden administration authorized Clark and
1:00:22
other DOJ officials in July to
1:00:24
disclose that was July 2021 to
1:00:27
disclose details of their confidential discussions with
1:00:29
Trump. Now, Trump's lawyers
1:00:31
at the time opted not to fight the decision
1:00:34
but indicated that they could later. They wanted to reserve
1:00:36
their right to bring it up in the future. And
1:00:39
now they're doing that. He wants to
1:00:41
bar the testimony of Rosen and Donohue,
1:00:43
two of the DOJ officials that were
1:00:46
going to resign if Clark was made
1:00:48
attorney general. And Pat
1:00:50
Philbin, those are three key witnesses
1:00:52
in Clark's disbarment proceeding. So
1:00:55
I thought that that was interesting
1:00:57
because as you and I
1:00:59
both know, anything that they testify about in
1:01:02
a disbarment proceeding can be
1:01:04
picked up and used by anyone else who's
1:01:07
conducting a criminal investigation into similar behavior.
1:01:09
John Ligato Yeah. No question. Like, don't
1:01:11
– this is not –
1:01:14
don't misinterpret this. I know you're not. But
1:01:17
don't misinterpret this as some kind of
1:01:19
effort to help Jeff Clark. It's not
1:01:21
at all. This is entirely defensive. Trump's
1:01:25
lawyers don't want these witnesses who've already
1:01:27
made all kinds of statements under oath
1:01:30
that are not good for Trump in
1:01:32
terms of the cases that he's facing.
1:01:34
They don't want them doing it again.
1:01:37
So this is an effort to
1:01:39
quiet – shut these people up
1:01:42
and at least bog down
1:01:44
this testimony and this litigation
1:01:47
around Clark's license, slow
1:01:49
it down, to try to
1:01:51
avoid getting additional unfavorable statements
1:01:53
by very solid witnesses on
1:01:55
the record that could then
1:01:57
be used as
1:01:59
– evidence in his criminal trials.
1:02:01
That's how I see it. Yeah.
1:02:04
And this is kind of positioned as Trump
1:02:07
is going to bat for Jeffrey Clark, but I don't really
1:02:09
see it that way. Trump's going to bat for himself here.
1:02:11
Who does Trump go to bat for other than
1:02:14
Trump? Come on. Yeah. No, no, no. That's
1:02:16
never happening. This is, I think, this
1:02:18
is a little bit of like defensive criminal
1:02:22
litigation. It's, we got
1:02:24
to stop the bleeding here of, you know,
1:02:26
high profile people who, who have
1:02:29
and will likely continue to say bad things
1:02:31
that are bad for us before
1:02:34
these things go to trial. Yeah.
1:02:36
And of course on the seems too late
1:02:38
question, right? Like, I mean, he,
1:02:40
he is threatening litigation. So if
1:02:43
somebody wanted to argue to get
1:02:45
the testimony of these three guys by saying it's
1:02:48
too late for you to do this now, that
1:02:50
could still be litigated all the way up to
1:02:52
the Supreme Court and back down and again, put
1:02:55
it off for months. So that's
1:02:57
the threat here. I'm exerting
1:02:59
executive privilege or we're going to
1:03:01
litigate this for months, basically. Exactly.
1:03:04
The delay. We have. Yeah. That's, I mean,
1:03:07
that's all he's got. So, sure. All
1:03:09
right. And he, although he was right
1:03:12
on the, the limited
1:03:14
filing of stuff on the DC
1:03:16
docket, while the thing is stayed, he was right
1:03:18
there. There you go. So anyway,
1:03:21
we want to get to some listener questions now. If you
1:03:23
have any listener questions, we have a link in the show
1:03:25
notes for you to click on and you
1:03:27
can send your questions into us. What do we have today?
1:03:30
Well, we've got two today. Uh, the first one
1:03:32
is from Jeff in the UK. And I picked
1:03:34
this one because it's really, uh, kind of emblematic
1:03:36
of what a bunch of the questions we're getting
1:03:39
at this week. Um,
1:03:41
so Jeff says question for
1:03:43
the podcast for Alison and Andy given
1:03:45
Canons latest, which appears to push the secret
1:03:48
documents case to 2025, what option does DOJ
1:03:51
have to escalate to the appeals
1:03:54
court or is it
1:03:56
only impeachment that's available, um, to
1:04:00
to remove her. Yeah. Could speedy trial
1:04:02
legislation be the basis of an appeal?
1:04:05
So the short answer is
1:04:07
no. There's no options here. There's
1:04:09
really not a consistent – Not
1:04:12
yet anyway. Right. There's not a consistent or
1:04:14
reliable way to have a judge removed unless
1:04:16
you have like some absolutely
1:04:19
explicit evidence of wrongdoing on the judge's part.
1:04:21
Like if you had evidence that the judge
1:04:23
took money from the defendant to throw a
1:04:25
case or something, that would be
1:04:27
very different. But that
1:04:29
is not the case here. We
1:04:32
have all kinds of complaints about Judge Cannon. And
1:04:34
even with our frequent complaints,
1:04:37
it's almost impossible to identify
1:04:40
what her motivation is, whether it's just kind
1:04:42
of fear of the process and the criticism,
1:04:44
or the lack of sophistication,
1:04:46
lack of experience, or if she's actually harbor
1:04:49
some sort of bias. So there's
1:04:52
really not much they can do. You can't go
1:04:54
to a higher court and just complain, help
1:04:57
us, help us. The judge in our – who's
1:04:59
presiding over our case is too slow or
1:05:02
we don't like her. That pretty
1:05:04
much doesn't get you anywhere. And the
1:05:06
speedy trial right is something that the
1:05:08
defendant can use against the prosecution to
1:05:11
make things go quicker, which is something
1:05:13
that rational and
1:05:15
normal defendants do
1:05:17
in criminal cases all the time. You're not seeing –
1:05:19
you're not going to ever see that in these criminal
1:05:21
cases because that's not what Trump wants. But you
1:05:24
can't really – the government can't really hold
1:05:26
the speedy trial right against the defendant. Yeah.
1:05:29
And the speedy trial clock is told right now. I mean,
1:05:32
the only limited amount of days has passed on the
1:05:34
speedy trial clock. We aren't anywhere close to it. According
1:05:37
to that clock, the case is only like three days old,
1:05:39
something like that. But if we do get close
1:05:42
to it, then of course, they
1:05:44
can file notice with this judge about it, hey, we're
1:05:46
getting up on the speedy trial times. There
1:05:49
are automatically appealable issues to a
1:05:52
higher court if she does something
1:05:54
way out of bounds, like you said. Like, let's say
1:05:56
she wants to give
1:05:58
Donald Trump her mission to – to file
1:06:00
a bunch of classified documents publicly
1:06:02
or, you know, something
1:06:05
that violates SEPA. Because
1:06:07
if you violate SEPA rules, if
1:06:10
a court does something that violates the rules
1:06:13
that protect, you know, protecting classified
1:06:15
information, then that's automatically
1:06:18
expedited appeal to the next court
1:06:20
up. But again,
1:06:22
that doesn't necessarily pull her off the case,
1:06:24
although they can ask, they can ask, but
1:06:27
I don't think they will unless she
1:06:29
does something truly egregious. And
1:06:32
if she does something that's against
1:06:34
SEPA protocol, I imagine they'll appeal it
1:06:36
and get a ruling and just keep going.
1:06:39
Yeah, the appellate process is
1:06:41
really the purpose is to
1:06:43
rectify a mistake in judgment,
1:06:46
right? Reversible error. A
1:06:48
judgment, a reversible error in
1:06:51
legal judgment. I
1:06:53
don't like the way the judge decided the
1:06:55
facts, but more I don't like the way
1:06:58
the judge decided this question of law. And
1:07:01
so the issue would go up, it would
1:07:04
maybe get turned around. Just the
1:07:06
process of getting reversed on appeal is super
1:07:08
embarrassing to judges. And that alone is enough
1:07:10
to kind of like knock some common sense
1:07:12
into judges heads and get them to move
1:07:14
the thing forward. But it
1:07:16
doesn't ever really ever resolve
1:07:18
and, you know, resolve in
1:07:20
having a judge removed. All
1:07:23
right, next question. Ready for number two?
1:07:26
Yep. All right, this one comes
1:07:28
to us from Robin W. in Michigan. And
1:07:31
Robin says, Hi, Allison and Andy, I so
1:07:33
appreciate your pod every week. I wish it
1:07:35
was every day because you really harness all
1:07:37
the BS into a focused
1:07:39
bundle of what matters and why. Thank
1:07:42
you very much, Robin. My
1:07:44
question is about Jack Smith's
1:07:47
questions slash statements about presidential
1:07:49
immunity. Okay, so what she's talking about
1:07:51
here is in the
1:07:53
prosecutor's brief opposing
1:07:56
Donald Trump's request for immunity,
1:07:58
you Guys will remember
1:08:00
this. he cited like these hypothetical
1:08:02
examples all of kind of ring
1:08:04
the little bit of of tropism
1:08:06
right? so she says specifically one
1:08:09
of the things he used as
1:08:11
an example. Ah, it's ah
1:08:13
was that the President could sell
1:08:15
top Us secrets and it would
1:08:17
be okay because he's the president.
1:08:20
I wonder if you think this
1:08:22
means Jack has legit evidence that
1:08:24
Trump did this com and. Steaks
1:08:27
so is it probably be.
1:08:29
We would be charged but
1:08:32
I'm right. And. You know,
1:08:34
legit evidence usually leads to widget
1:08:36
charges. I think what he was
1:08:38
doing with that whole series of
1:08:40
hypotheticals was he was freezing them
1:08:43
and as and an artful way.
1:08:45
That almost made them seem like
1:08:47
things seem very similar to things
1:08:50
that Trump has been alleged of
1:08:52
doing or types of things that.
1:08:54
People. Who whoever might be
1:08:56
reading their filing could imagine
1:08:59
Trump would do. Yeah.
1:09:01
Or stuff trump's done that they
1:09:03
just don't have enough evidence to
1:09:05
charge. Cia. Yeah, But
1:09:08
yeah, no, I it was definitely very
1:09:10
pointed and November it, and he did
1:09:12
it twice, he did it in the
1:09:14
most in his up opposition to. To
1:09:18
immunity in that. District. Court
1:09:20
T. Jones second. In October and then
1:09:22
he did it again. To. The
1:09:24
Appeals Court. Same for scenarios,
1:09:26
right? So he's right. He's.
1:09:29
He's twist in that knife. I think it
1:09:31
was deliberate. But to to walk right
1:09:33
up the line of stuff that we
1:09:35
are all feel like Trump has done
1:09:37
here. The I mean it's and might
1:09:40
have done rule provocative. but that's what
1:09:42
makes them really effective hypotheticals Cause they're
1:09:44
You know, you make a hypothetical. You
1:09:46
construct a hypothetical around something that could
1:09:48
actually happen and that makes it believable.
1:09:51
Around and those are certainly felt like things
1:09:53
that could happen. right? So
1:09:55
Trump asking you know the military.
1:09:57
To go out and and harm. Protesters.
1:10:02
During. The Black Lives Matter Protests.
1:10:06
A You know it that. Idea.
1:10:08
Of sending the cops out or
1:10:11
the military out to. Attack
1:10:13
Your Political Opponents Was brought up
1:10:15
by Judge Pan. In. The.
1:10:17
In. The hearing right Know the hearing that we had
1:10:20
the argument, the oral arguments, For this and she was like
1:10:22
do. You say you're saying he could tell
1:10:24
Seal Team Six to go assassinate? His.
1:10:26
Political rival. And. Said
1:10:28
and of course. Course
1:10:31
John sour said yeah. Same
1:10:33
with Totally Bird A Qualified
1:10:35
yes. Oh yes no no you
1:10:37
didn't do that. Now with
1:10:39
Yeah and them and still
1:10:41
am. I'm gonna check one
1:10:43
more time. For
1:10:46
this ruling. Nope,
1:10:50
I wouldn't. I wish I
1:10:52
was friends with him. John
1:10:55
Sour just because. like can you imagine
1:10:57
how Like is good friends are never
1:11:00
gonna let him live that down the
1:11:02
