Judge Jeanine Pirro: They ‘Don’t Want’ This Case to Move in Trump’s Favor

MACCALLUM The Five co ░░░░░░░░ Judge Jeanine Pirro a ░░░░░░░░ New York State judge ░░░░░░░░ District Attorney A ton ░░░░░░░░ experience with all of ░░░░░░░░ There s a lovely ░░░░░░░░ of you crosstalk PIRRO ░░░░░░░░ s another life MACCALLUM ░░░░░░░░ are you Good to ░░░░░░░░ you here today So ░░░░░░░░ s your reaction to ░░░░░░░░ Merchan moving PIRRO Shocked ░░░░░░░░ You are PIRRO I ░░░░░░░░ stunned Look this is ░░░░░░░░ judge who at every ░░░░░░░░ ruled against Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ is a judge who ░░░░░░░░ prejudicial evidence to come ░░░░░░░░ evidence that had nothing ░░░░░░░░ do with the underlying ░░░░░░░░ And speaking of the ░░░░░░░░ charge most of it ░░░░░░░░ expired pursuant to the ░░░░░░░░ of limitations bootstrapped and ░░░░░░░░ by another crime that ░░░░░░░░ jury didn t have ░░░░░░░░ really identify And there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of hearsay ░░░░░░░░ there s some privileged ░░░░░░░░ Then in the interim ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court decision ░░░░░░░░ came out in July ░░░░░░░░ said hey you know ░░░░░░░░ have to separate immunity ░░░░░░░░ immunize and privilege testimony ░░░░░░░░ the underlying essence of ░░░░░░░░ crimes in this case ░░░░░░░░ now all of a ░░░░░░░░ Judge Merchan is saying ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ be political here I ░░░░░░░░ it s time that ░░░░░░░░ took you know took ░░░░░░░░ of the fact that ░░░░░░░░ re in a presidential ░░░░░░░░ season Are you kidding ░░░░░░░░ This is a political ░░░░░░░░ made by a judge ░░░░░░░░ said you know what ░░░░░░░░ is a close election ░░░░░░░░ m not going to ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump any kind ░░░░░░░░ advantage here That s ░░░░░░░░ interpretation Based upon a ░░░░░░░░ who did everything he ░░░░░░░░ even the verdict sheet ░░░░░░░░ this case is not ░░░░░░░░ don t you can ░░░░░░░░ understand it I ve ░░░░░░░░ seen anything like it ░░░░░░░░ so now suddenly the ░░░░░░░░ Martha agrees The DA ░░░░░░░░ we re not going ░░░░░░░░ object to his sentencing ░░░░░░░░ want to throw him ░░░░░░░░ jail but they know ░░░░░░░░ this is a case ░░░░░░░░ will that will go ░░░░░░░░ Trump s favor and ░░░░░░░░ don t want that ░░░░░░░░ happen MACCALLUM So this ░░░░░░░░ Alvin Bragg There are ░░░░░░░░ many cases that we ░░░░░░░░ been keeping straight but ░░░░░░░░ was the hush money ░░░░░░░░ And you remember that ░░░░░░░░ Bragg basically took something ░░░░░░░░ was beyond the statute ░░░░░░░░ limitations and extrapolated it ░░░░░░░░ I think 34 counts ░░░░░░░░ was in the end ░░░░░░░░ had people outraged back ░░░░░░░░ Do you think that ░░░░░░░░ are now looking at ░░░░░░░░ situation and that they ░░░░░░░░ cold feet I mean ░░░░░░░░ one point Merchan did ░░░░░░░░ back in the courtroom ░░░░░░░░ know it s not ░░░░░░░░ on me that I ░░░░░░░░ someone here who may ░░░░░░░░ the next president of ░░░░░░░░ United States Do you ░░░░░░░░ that they just said ░░░░░░░░ know what we don ░░░░░░░░ we don t really ░░░░░░░░ this on our shoulders ░░░░░░░░ Well I think that ░░░░░░░░ is inevitable that this ░░░░░░░░ will be reversed And ░░░░░░░░ think that maybe Merchan ░░░░░░░░ everything he had to ░░░░░░░░ that he allowed in ░░░░░░░░ regarding a crime that ░░░░░░░░ knows what it was ░░░░░░░░ that in the end ░░░░░░░░ will be able to ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump is ░░░░░░░░ convicted felon He s ░░░░░░░░ convicted on 34 counts ░░░░░░░░ you know what We ░░░░░░░░ going to delay the ░░░░░░░░ because maybe if they ░░░░░░░░ the sentencing and Donald ░░░░░░░░ took an appeal depending ░░░░░░░░ how quickly the appellate ░░░░░░░░ wanted to rule on ░░░░░░░░ I mean this is ░░░░░░░░ important case where exigent ░░░░░░░░ would require an appellate ░░░░░░░░ to take it up ░░░░░░░░ They don t want ░░░░░░░░ be slapped down either ░░░░░░░░ I mean there are ░░░░░░░░ many avenues here in ░░░░░░░░ case But one thing ░░░░░░░░ is so essential to ░░░░░░░░ Martha is that every ░░░░░░░░ was against Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ all of a sudden ░░░░░░░░ re clean We don ░░░░░░░░ want to get involved ░░░░░░░░ anything political It s ░░░░░░░░ presidential election season and ░░░░░░░░ re going to we ░░░░░░░░ going to just adjourn ░░░░░░░░ sentencing until after election ░░░░░░░░ by the way Jack ░░░░░░░░ got a superseding indictment ░░░░░░░░ Georgia is nowhere on ░░░░░░░░ case We don t ░░░░░░░░ know who the prosecutor ░░░░░░░░ Merchan doesn t want ░░░░░░░░ be hanging alone on ░░░░░░░░ where he s definitely ░░░░░░░░ to be slapped MACCALLUM ░░░░░░░░ me ask you this ░░░░░░░░ is a purely political ░░░░░░░░ about all of this ░░░░░░░░ there was clearly a ░░░░░░░░ rush in all these ░░░░░░░░ Jack Smith wanted his ░░░░░░░░ which were January 6th ░░░░░░░░ the documents case which ░░░░░░░░ thrown out by the ░░░░░░░░ in Florida they wanted ░░░░░░░░ this to happen before ░░░░░░░░ election Do you think ░░░░░░░░ the fact that Kamala ░░░░░░░░ is now the candidate ░░░░░░░░ made them cool their ░░░░░░░░ a little bit that ░░░░░░░░ re less worried about ░░░░░░░░ second President Trump term ░░░░░░░░ They may look at ░░░░░░░░ and say you know ░░░░░░░░ looks tight And that ░░░░░░░░ why I go back ░░░░░░░░ the political that this ░░░░░░░░ bit where if you ░░░░░░░░ or sentence someone running ░░░░░░░░ president on house arrest ░░░░░░░░ whatever confinement the country ░░░░░░░░ go crazy We are ░░░░░░░░ republic We are this ░░░░░░░░ the United States You ░░░░░░░░ t put someone running ░░░░░░░░ president in jail or ░░░░░░░░ confined MACCALLUM What about ░░░░░░░░ 26th when we ll ░░░░░░░░ I mean either he ░░░░░░░░ the next president or ░░░░░░░░ is not or he ░░░░░░░░ the election Will there ░░░░░░░░ a sentencing then PIRRO ░░░░░░░░ will have to make ░░░░░░░░ decision first on the ░░░░░░░░ part of this based ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court s ░░░░░░░░ That will then be ░░░░░░░░ And then they would ░░░░░░░░ go to a sentencing ░░░░░░░░ here s the thing ░░░░░░░░ he s president they ░░░░░░░░ t put him in ░░░░░░░░ at that point OK ░░░░░░░░ he s got to ░░░░░░░░ the country You know ░░░░░░░░ s a lot of ░░░░░░░░ on this one but ░░░░░░░░ ve never seen them ░░░░░░░░ we don t want ░░░░░░░░ be political No MACCALLUM ░░░░░░░░ You know we re ░░░░░░░░ two months of this ░░░░░░░░ So this obviously would ░░░░░░░░ had a big bearing ░░░░░░░░ it It may have ░░░░░░░░ Trump if he was ░░░░░░░░ every single move along ░░░░░░░░ way here the more ░░░░░░░░ was persecuted by the ░░░░░░░░ system the more it ░░░░░░░░ him but this one ░░░░░░░░ off the table for ░░░░░░░░ Judge always great to ░░░░░░░░ you PIRRO Good to ░░░░░░░░ you Martha MACCALLUM Thank ░░░░░░░░ so much for coming ░░░░░░░░ we ll see you ░░░░░░░░ The Five Look forward ░░░░░░░░ it. Thank you.”
