vice president harris is next with andrew weissmann. >> the united states supreme court just basically told the former president, who has been convicted of fraud , that going forward, he will be effectively immune, no matter what he does in the white house. but, think about what that means. think about what that means in this election. think about what that means. he's been told he will be immune if he is back in the white house. think about what that means when you remember donald trump has openly vowed if re-elected, he will be a dictator on day one. he will elect -- use the justice department to prosecute his political enemies. remember that he called for the quote termination of the constitution of the united states. understand what this means. and, let us be very clear, someone who suggests we should terminate the constitution of the united states should never again stand behind the seal of the united states as president. t for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may

joining me now for more, former federal prosecutor and fbi general counsel andrew weissmann two hosts msnbc's podcast, prosecuting donald trump. andrew, thanks for being here. you and i love to noodle all things legal all the time so we will just sort of opened the curtain here and let people into how you and i talk about this. we are supposed to get a joint status report in the d.c. federal election interference case. your thoughts about what you think that report is going to look like? >> sure. the reason we are on tender hooks is this is the filing that jack smith said he needed more time, he needed three more weeks to submit and of course, donald trump agreed to that because it meant delay and so today we are expecting this joint filing. what that means is that the parties will submit one set of papers. however, they can point out that they disagree on certain facts and scheduling issues, so this is really the chance for both sides to tell judge check and how they want to proceed and when they want to proceed. first on the how. that is an issue of whether it will be just a legal b

weissmann. what is jack smith hoping to do here? >> as you said, collision, to get the case back on track. following the supreme court's decision that a president -- any president is immune for official acts, official conduct, the difficulty now is figuring out what is official and what is unofficial, what is in and what is out. with the superseding indictment jack smith and his team proposed to the judge that everything that remains now, everything in the new indictment is unofficial conduct and prosecutable. donald trump's team will contest that and the judge has a difficult task. she still has to make a determination adhering to the supreme court's decision on what is prosecutable, an official act, and nonprosecutable. >> how do you think jack smith's team did in determining what is in and what is out? >> i think he really helped himself. first, he deleted the information that the supreme court required to be taken out, and that is that the court had said the president's interactions within t

joining our discussion now is andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel.drew, did you ever have occasion to leave out that many potential defendants in a case? especially one as big and central to it as donald trump? >> so this is a bit of a head- scratcher in terms of what is going on here. you know my job is to try to think what are legitimate arguments that could have been in the heads of prosecutors and obviously it is true and it certainly shows that this is hardly a witchhunt with prosecutors out for vengeance against donald trump, given what they represented to the court. and the only thing i could think of, which i think is a really good explanation, is that sometimes if you have a defendant who could be charged federally and in state court, in two jurisdictions, there could be a sort of discussion about it is better to go in one versus the other. certainly a factor that the federal government would consider in deciding whether to bring charges. but here, the reason i don't think that is likely are not a i terribly good argument is that you have a

andrew weissmann, former fbi council and in the eastern district of new york is an msnbc legal analystelling book trump indictments. reading judge chutkan and her very high-speed ruling issued the day after she got the case back on these dismissal motions is to read sanity in judicial language, something we have been hungering for since this crazy. of supreme court appeals and by the judge in florida. >> comparing her to judge cannon is night and day in terms of experience leaving aside the merits. remember judge cannon had the same motion that donald trump made about selective prosecution and vindictive prosecution but she did not rule on that. she didn't want to hand that defeat to donald trump. instead the first day of the republican convention issued this sort of equally crazy dismissal motion that is now on appeal. judge chutkan, as you said, is very fast and made it absolutely clear that donald trump's efforts to say that he has been singled out for political reasons is absolutely meritless and goes through all of the claims and says as you noted there is no evidence. she will ha

andrew weissmann. joining us now is the host of mornings on sirius xm, the author of the end of white politics, how to heal our liberal divide. a veteran of five republican campaigns, the senior adviser at the lincoln project and author of the conspiracy to end america, five ways my old party is driving democracy to autocracy. good evening to both of you, thank you for being with us. stuart, one of the things that you and the lincoln project are good at doing is not getting away from all the ridiculousness of donald trump, being able to remind him, and it gets in his face, it bothers him. when he endlessly says things that are so easily disproved, and that are such blatant lies, for which there is a tweet that didn't age well, but, you do believe there is value in continuing to remind people, the guy is a buffoon. >> oh, yeah. and trump is the dog that will chase every car. he's the most predictable guy for someone with an image of being wild and crazy, he's actually very predictable. at the lincoln pr

joining me now is andrew weissmann msnbc legal analyst and maya wiley president and ceo of the leadership attorney. that was a lot, friends. i'm going to start with you, andrew, because it's a lot to parse through. >> totally. >> i want to start with whether or not donald trump has any chance of taking that 34-count felony conviction and somehow moving it to federal court in order to throw it out based on what the supreme court has ruled. >> so the direct answer is it is highly unlikely that he is going to be able to get it to federal court. as you noted, he has made that motion -- >> before. >> -- and lost it and the only intervening fact is this supreme court decision that should not be enough to have judge hellerstein revisit his ruling. remember, though, that whether it's in state court or it's in federal court, that changes who the judge is, but whether the supreme court gets to ultimately weigh in on the 34 counts to say were they tainted by immunized system is something from the supreme court of the united states gets to weigh in on eventually. that's what i'm sort of mostly worrie

andrew weissmann, what is amazing about the attack line that something is politically motivated is thedisclose luxury travel. and it's not about where they went. it's not even really about how they got there. it's about the fact that they didn't deign to tell the public about it. what are your thoughts? >> absolutely. i mean, let's just leave aside -- let's assume that senator wyden was politically motivated. so what? the issue is did it happen? i mean, there's no evidence he's doing this just for politics as opposed to the actual facts. but that's just a sideshow. first, people need to understand, you were in government. i was in government. the idea -- you could not give somebody a cup of coffee. this is so beyond the pale. everybody i know who was in government, who was in government, certainly everybody who is a judicial officer understands how this is not just normal, this is a flagrant abuse. you do not go into public service, let alone being an article 3 judge and a judge on the highest court of the land, to make money from other people. and to me this is just a sign of not just
