when a violent monster formed the capital in a baby to keep tremble in power, knew that dozens of state and federal judge and for more. let's cross right over to clar cunningham, he the constitutional lawyer and a professor of law at georgia state university. good evening, at how important is this conclusion, since it's not finding well yet they generate sets, committee has put together a very persuasive body of evidence. and so in terms of what, what the discourse is in the united states right now, it's certainly going to be very important. we're all reading it. we're all talking about it. it's certainly good effect are thinking about former president trump of whether or not they're providing any information to the target of justice that it doesn't already have. we can't be sure, but in addition to the referral to the department of justice, i'm sitting in atlanta, georgia, where there was a strength of grand juries median under state law,
10:03 pm
which is also quite likely i think, to issue a document against former president trump. and they will now be able to have use of all of this information because it's been released by the committee. so that's very significant here as well. so what's next now in this process? ok, well the top of the justices is probably gonna remain tight lipped about what they're doing on prop. but on the other hand here in georgia, there is an expectation that our grand jury may issue. it's report as soon as maybe next month. they're waiting to have mark meadows testify in front of them. they're waiting to have the former speaker thousands of cambridge testify in front of them, and then i think they pretty much wrapped up their work. so the fact that the january 6th committee, a specifically named mark meadows in a criminal referral is going to make his appearance in front of the folk grand jury important. and he has not been successful with his court battles, not to peer. he may appear just take that then as i believe, probably michael,
10:04 pm
clint already did. so really then it's a question of when, when do indictments issue did they come out of the federal government 1st or they come out of georgia out of georgia next. and the panel worked 18 months to put all the evidence together, investigating this case, and they talk to scores and scores of people will the next steps take as long as that you think i doubt it. i expect that our report here in georgia will be out. i, i, i would imagine by january. and then soon thereafter, r r r prosecutor here in atlanta can be making, making decisions to seek indictments. and i think it's quite possible that you might begin by indicting of some of the rows of the persons named by the january 6th committee who are not the port president. but for example, lawyers that work with him or perhaps more meadows, they might be the 1st to be indicted and they might try to move quickly, bring those people to trial. again, we just don't know. there's
10:05 pm
a special prosecutor now working at the federal level. and every other evidence is it, is it that he is working with a great deal of energy. so i think that we are going to see criminal proceeding starting fairly soon each. we don't have much time, but i do want to ask you how likely you think it is knowing what we know now that we are going to see a former president behind bars. why i'm not sure i'm gonna, i'm not going to predict that. but i think it's fairly likely that the former president may be sitting in a courtroom facing it at a jury of his peers having to explain to his again, his actions, whether that juries good of you, that of the convict is a much more difficult question. clar cunningham constitutional lawyer at the georgia state university. thank you so much. very glad to talk with you. or shes president vladimir putin, as said he is not trying to absorb his neighbor and ally. bella rose while at the same time, blaming their enemies for wanting to stop their integration. putin made the
