use of federal ░░░░░░░░ saying quote nothing you ░░░░░░░░ will derail the efforts ░░░░░░░░ my staff and I ░░░░░░░░ bring election interference prosecution ░░░░░░░░ trial so that a ░░░░░░░░ of Fulton County citizens ░░░░░░░░ determine the guilt or ░░░░░░░░ of the defendants Case ░░░░░░░░ co defendants in one ░░░░░░░░ whom she represents With ░░░░░░░░ again attorney ash Lee ░░░░░░░░ Great to see you ░░░░░░░░ our judge embraced zoom ░░░░░░░░ helps things a lot ░░░░░░░░ m not primarily arguing ░░░░░░░░ I will be on ░░░░░░░░ What are you looking ░░░░░░░░ do today So there ░░░░░░░░ two motions going to ░░░░░░░░ heard today The first ░░░░░░░░ is a motion to ░░░░░░░░ based on First Amendment ░░░░░░░░ And that motion really ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump s lawyer ░░░░░░░░ arguing that He is ░░░░░░░░ to be arguing that ░░░░░░░░ First Amendment should prohibit ░░░░░░░░ prosecution And it s ░░░░░░░░ a couple different First ░░░░░░░░ issues that we have ░░░░░░░░ We have got the ░░░░░░░░ to associate The freedom ░░░░░░░░ petition the government and ░░░░░░░░ to speak All of ░░░░░░░░ conduct that s part ░░░░░░░░ this indictment is really ░░░░░░░░ by the First Amendment ░░░░░░░░ if you think about ░░░░░░░░ it makes sense that ░░░░░░░░ judge should be the ░░░░░░░░ that protects that right ░░░░░░░░ you shouldn t have ░░░░░░░░ go in front of ░░░░░░░░ jury to protect your ░░░░░░░░ rights So that s ░░░░░░░░ first one we are ░░░░░░░░ to hear The second ░░░░░░░░ is called a demuir ░░░░░░░░ in Georgia a demuir ░░░░░░░░ really a motion to ░░░░░░░░ and what we are ░░░░░░░░ to do is argue ░░░░░░░░ is Mr Shaffer s ░░░░░░░░ Is he primarily arguing ░░░░░░░░ he was the Georgia ░░░░░░░░ leader at the time ░░░░░░░░ also one of the ░░░░░░░░ electors When you look ░░░░░░░░ the indictment you see ░░░░░░░░ lot of language that ░░░░░░░░ fake electors Duly elected ░░░░░░░░ Those are legal conclusions ░░░░░░░░ we re trying to ░░░░░░░░ those dismissed saying that ░░░░░░░░ state can t just ░░░░░░░░ those legal conclusions in ░░░░░░░░ That s something that ░░░░░░░░ jury has to decide ░░░░░░░░ I m curious and ░░░░░░░░ I mean we saw ░░░░░░░░ for our screen and ░░░░░░░░ viewers saw what happened ░░░░░░░░ the courtroom of Fani ░░░░░░░░ the case was laid ░░░░░░░░ They lied under oath ░░░░░░░░ question is why not ░░░░░░░░ them on the case ░░░░░░░░ have been very sloppy ░░░░░░░░ their filings out of ░░░░░░░░ From a legal standpoint ░░░░░░░░ would seem like they ░░░░░░░░ easy to beat that ░░░░░░░░ one of the discussions ░░░░░░░░ you are talking about ░░░░░░░░ one of these motions ░░░░░░░░ truly don t believe ░░░░░░░░ else if we had ░░░░░░░░ knew tralg and detached ░░░░░░░░ someone who didn t ░░░░░░░░ a financial interest that ░░░░░░░░ would bring these charges ░░░░░░░░ against my client The ░░░░░░░░ that s important that ░░░░░░░░ important to remember my ░░░░░░░░ was not recommended for ░░░░░░░░ by the special purpose ░░░░░░░░ jury So you know ░░░░░░░░ indictment was unnecessarily expanded ░░░░░░░░ think if we had ░░░░░░░░ that was neutral and ░░░░░░░░ at it they may ░░░░░░░░ bring this indictment You ░░░░░░░░ Fulton County s finest ░░░░░░░░ display with having Fani ░░░░░░░░ on the stand and ░░░░░░░░ of the attitude that ░░░░░░░░ from it and get ░░░░░░░░ decision as people have ░░░░░░░░ split the baby But ░░░░░░░░ judge did grant the ░░░░░░░░ to appeal And so ░░░░░░░░ the appeal look like ░░░░░░░░ there something specific that ░░░░░░░░ all feel like you ░░░░░░░░ appeal and get her ░░░░░░░░ the case Appeal factual ░░░░░░░░ If you look at ░░░░░░░░ order he made findings ░░░░░░░░ support a conflict We ░░░░░░░░ be arguing his decision ░░░░░░░░ have gone farther and ░░░░░░░░ disqualified her He gave ░░░░░░░░ all the factual findings ░░░░░░░░ need We just now ░░░░░░░░ a court to say ░░░░░░░░ s too much That ░░░░░░░░ enough she has got ░░░░░░░░ be disqualified If that ░░░░░░░░ then we will get ░░░░░░░░ neutral prosecutor to review ░░░░░░░░ and decide whether or ░░░░░░░░ they are even going ░░░░░░░░ bring these charges again ░░░░░░░░ you about the human ░░░░░░░░ of this Your client ░░░░░░░░ Trump the former president ░░░░░░░░ is on trial This ░░░░░░░░ of course part of ░░░░░░░░ coordinated effort to not ░░░░░░░░ people vote for him ░░░░░░░░ the coming election But ░░░░░░░░ is very high stakes ░░░░░░░░ we were just talking ░░░░░░░░ He is taking time ░░░░░░░░ of his schedule to ░░░░░░░░ to the funeral the ░░░░░░░░ for this police officer ░░░░░░░░ has campaign obligations and ░░░░░░░░ cases in other states ░░░░░░░░ s his mental state ░░░░░░░░ Seems to be handling ░░░░░░░░ so well How does ░░░░░░░░ compare to other clients ░░░░░░░░ are under this kind ░░░░░░░░ pressure Part of the ░░░░░░░░ they represent Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ is immensely stressful for ░░░░░░░░ As can you imagine ░░░░░░░░ charged with a crime ░░░░░░░░ you could potentially go ░░░░░░░░ prison I can t ░░░░░░░░ much greater stress It ░░░░░░░░ one of the most ░░░░░░░░ situations in the entire ░░░░░░░░ And you know having ░░░░░░░░ think about going in ░░░░░░░░ of a jury and ░░░░░░░░ your fate in the ░░░░░░░░ of 12 people that ░░░░░░░░ extremely stressful Having to ░░░░░░░░ with all these different ░░░░░░░░ hearings is extremely stressful ░░░░░░░░ President Trump that s ░░░░░░░░ you know confounded by ░░░░░░░░ fact that he has ░░░░░░░░ all these different jurisdictions ░░░░░░░░ he has got to ░░░░░░░░ To say I mean ░░░░░░░░ could see it in ░░░░░░░░ conflict letters There were ░░░░░░░░ letters filed earlier this ░░░░░░░░ he is telling one ░░░░░░░░ I have got to ░░░░░░░░ here and another judge ░░░░░░░░ have got to be ░░░░░░░░ That s stressful Any ░░░░░░░░ you are supposed to ░░░░░░░░ more than one place ░░░░░░░░ you are one human ░░░░░░░░ that s stressful Then ░░░░░░░░ these have serious legal ░░░░░░░░ that s a full ░░░░░░░░ job for someone Plan ░░░░░░░░ all of this Plan ░░░░░░░░ Fani Willis to find ░░░░░░░░ what she was up ░░░░░░░░ and give
