Andrew Weissmann, Maya Wiley, and Basil Smileknown as recognized legal experts, agreed that it is officially the beginning of the end of donald trump. It was during his time on MSNBC that specialists agreed that the ex-president is cornered in a maze with no way out.
the presenter Chris Hayes, asked his panel of two lawyers and a professor to join in some kind of thought experiment.. “You are hired, Andrew Weissmann, as the new legal team. They fire their old lawyers and they want you. You get the informative book with the summary of the legal problems that your client faces. Your forced client tells you: ‘Am I going to be prosecuted?’, what do you say?
Andrew Weissmann immediately replied “bye, baby”.
“It’s happening,” Smikle agreed. “It’s not if it’s going to happen, it’s when and with how many of these things are in front of you. Miley included “and how many count”.
Weissmann also indicated that he would be very clear about the charges he would face. “I would tell you, what we have to focus on are the state cases. You’re going to be federally charged. Spot. The end. That’s what Jack Smith is going to do. Whether for one or two things, we don’t know. But either one is not good. One is better than two that will happen. There may be a political solution of last resort in a federal impeachment because if there is a Republican president, it is unlikely to come to fruition, there will be a trial, it will be a jury verdict and you will be sentenced before the next presidential election. So that’s an area we have to worry about.”
He also explained that there is no possibility that the magnate is also pardoned at the federal level for a state crime “if there’s an indictment in Georgia or an indictment in New York that’s where you have to worry because if you get indicted in New York, you’re going to go to jail.”
About Georgia, he explained that he could also go to prison unless the rules also change. and allow the governor to grant him a pardon, but he made it clear that in both cases there are serious problems.
Furthermore, he added that the most serious problem comes from the case of Mar-a-Lago because if the government accuses him, he finds it difficult to have a valid defense there.
“That is a simple case. He took the documents. He knew that he took the documents. There are going to be a lot of White House lawyers who are key witnesses to say, ‘I told him not to do it. I told him it was illegal. I told him this is government property.’ The fact that it took 18 months will be incredibly damning evidence.”, he explained.
