Trump seems to have just issued his last gasp to make sure that that doesn't happen can you explain what he just did in court yeah Brian Trump and his lawyers desperately do not want Jack Smith to file what has been called an oversized motion 180 Pages it's due in court on September 26 and it will include all of the evidence of Donald Trump January 6th crimes and they Donald Trump's team just filed something which not surprisingly reads again like a 2 a unhinged social media post from Donald Trump they said judge chuin do not do not let uh special counsel Jack Smith take this quote Lawless action of disclosing all of Donald Trump's crimes in this upcoming oversized motion certainly not before 1:00 the election they call this proposed 180 page filing a monstrosity they say we really want to protect the witnesses and we don't want to taint the jury pool which is another reason they offer as to why Jack Smith should not be permitted to file it feels ironic because Donald Trump is the one who had to be judicially gagged to stop running his mouth about Witnesses putting them in danger and tainting jury pools but now they are all concerned about how Jack Smith simply laying out the facts of Donald Trump's January 6 crimes could possibly hurt the witnesses and taint the jury pool so you know this thing is disingenuous from start to finish it really is a politically motivated request that they are making and they're hoping judge chuin will fall for it and we'll say okay we will stop this litigation in its tracks to accommodate your election schedule 2:02 Donald Trump I have a feeling that's not going to be what judge chuin rules Glen isn't the ultimate irony here that the reason that we're we're doing this whole mini Hearing in DC this mini trial in DC to determine what does or doesn't fall under the umbrella of presidential immunity because Donald Trump's own appointed Supreme Court members decided to to issue that ruling on his behalf and so that's why that's the whole reason that we're here in the first place yes and if irony were still a thing in 2024 this would be quite ironic Donald Trump got what he asked for presidential immunity and what the Supreme Court said is okay Donald for us to decide which acts that you undertook which crimes that you committed in furtherance of your corrupt scheme to retain the power of the presidency after losing a presidential election which ones were official acts of the presidency of the United States such that you can't be prosecuted for them we 3:01 will grant you immunity and which ones were not the official acts of the president of the United States spoiler alert most of them were not official acts of a president but you want it Donald you got it and the Supreme Court said here's how we're going to go about figuring that out we're going to return the case to judge chuin we're going to direct her to hold this in essence mini trial not precisely a mini trial but hold a hearing where she looks at all of the facts and circumstances that she needs to get from the prosecutors so she can you know look at them decide whether they were official or not official and make her immunity rulings accordingly Donald Trump asked for it and now that he got it he's screaming bloody murder that he doesn't want it so yes Donald Trump wants it always and at the end of the day he's probably not going to get this one Glenn I want to point your attention to one part of this motion 4:00 uh submitted by the Trump team so Trump cites the unwritten 60-day rule as follows former FBI director James comy says we avoid taking any action in the run-up to an election if we can avoid it so this is Donald Trump invoking James Comey who famously made comments about Hillary Clinton in the leadup to the election which is in part what helped Donald Trump win in 2016 is he just trolling us at this point and that that's the first question the second is will judge shuckin's election calendar Bend to the whims of Donald Trump's electoral calendar considering this prosecution is already well underway yes Donald Trump is trolling us trolling judge chuin and we are living in the legal upside down um two I was in court not once but twice and saw judge Tanya chuin say Point Blank my case this case will not yield to a political election cycle so this are argument 5:00 we'll get no traction and Brian third the 60-day rule here is what the 60-day rule proposition stands for if for example somebody is running for Congress and the election is 60 days out and that person has not been charged with any crime that person has not had their property searched or their cell phone seized then the Department of Justice should not initiate some law enforcement action like all of a sudden get a search warrant and seize a candidate's phone um in the runup to the election if time is not of the essence why well because it could be misperceived as having a political purpose maybe you know uh damaging the prospects of a candidate being elected however the 60-day rule does not apply once cases are being prosecuted in court why because doj the 6:00 FBI and the federal prosecutors have complete discretion over the timing of taking a law enforcement action when there is no criminal case up and running there is no prosecution ongoing in court but once charges are brought guess what the Judiciary doesn't have a 60-day rule they will continue to move their case expeditiously through the system as they are required to do and as judge chuin said it does does not depend on or bend to an election cycle so the 60-day rule has absolutely no application and Trump and his lawyers know that and finally Glenn um as we head toward this mini trial barring some cataclysmic event that prevents it from actually happening barring some dilatory tactic by Donald Trump that prevents it from happening at least before the election uh I'm sure that there are people watching this who don't remember why this is even important or who don't know what this is can you give um some insight into why 7:01 this is important you know Brian the reason this is important is because it's kind of all on the line right now Donald Trump committed lots of crimes he really in substance hasn't denied that he's committed crimes he's just saying he wants immunity he wants the Supreme Court to allow him to get away with those crimes he committed crimes to try to steal a presidential election from the American people he tried to override the expressed will of the American voters and the Supreme Court unfortunately ruled that parts of the Constitution are actually unconstitutional and they bestowed Immunity on a president for certain crimes and now judge chuin has to decide which crimes survive the Supreme Court's horrific ruling and Donald Trump can be prosecuted for in connection with trying to steal the 2020 election and which crimes can he not be prosecuted for and this little hearing that hopefully will 8:00 be underway very soon after Jack Smith files his 180 page oversized brief disclosing all of the evidence of Donald Trump's j6 crimes hopefully it will move forward we will get some clarity and Donald Trump will be held accountable for at least some of the crimes he committed against the American people in his determination to unlawfully retain the power of the presidency I mean for gosh sakes we're coming up on another presidential election we don't even know about the crimes Donald Trump committed to try to steal the 2020 election and it's high time we get some you know some transparency into that perfectly put and and again the irony of all of this is that this is what Trump wanted his own appointed Supreme Court members gave him the gift of bestowing upon Him presidential immunity and so now this hearing is basically just to decide what is considered an official act and what isn't so Donald Trump wants to have it both ways where he can both benefit from 9:00 having presidential immunity and yet not have any of his actions under the scrutiny to determine whether they do fall onto that umbrella or not so again hopefully Jack Smith does continue to Barrel ahead um as we move move forward with this mini hearing with this mini trial here in DC with that said Glenn and I will continue to cover it so for those watching right now if you want to
