alvin bragg has the huge decision to make. he knew it was a decision unlike any that any district attorney ever made before. the weight of the decision. he made that decision. he committed the resources to the team that he needed to carry out the decision that he made and he was in the courtroom for some of the testimony and for the entirety of the submission by the lawyers and clearly the support for the people that he handled them the prosecution over to. what have we learned about alvin bragg, manhattan district attorney as a result of this case? >> we learned that alvin bragg is a public event and a characteristic one through and through. one of the images that will stick with me in that trial and in addition to seeing them this weekend is alvin bragg's press conference after the verdict. he is flanked by the members of his staff over one of his shoulders. it's not the lead attorney, but the paralegal who took the stand. when he was in the courtroom, he mentioned that there and the two times he made it a point to be in the

alvin bragg would not let him. the founders to today would never let donald trump lock her up and now it's donald trump stern to wait until the sentencing hearing on july 11th to find out if judge juan merchan will lock him up. leading off our discussion is andrew weissmann he is a legal analyst and co-author of the new york times best-selling book the trump indictments. also with us is lisa rubin. everyone a veteran of the trump courtroom. it's not that we cannot break up the gang. it is that there's still more to talk about. andrew, over the course of this weekend we saw the two contrasts that we saw in the courtroom. here is alvin bragg teaching sunday school to kids as he does every sunday and there is donald trump telling fox i could have locked her up. i never said i would, and going on in that deranged way of his. this is after him being convicted on thursday. he is still in some kind of trump mode about this imaginary powers. >> as i said when we saw his comments after the verdict and alvin bragg, they are

i mean it was so atrocious even alvin bragg at the beginning after he was elected even though he rangoing after trump. after he was elected said look there's nothing there. i don't this case but suddenly trump -- suddenly trump is leading polls republican nominee and a.m. vein bragg says let's take it on. take on the judge, a person that contributed finances to joe biden's campaign. they found that judge to take this case on and yes he put his foot he took whole body weight put it on top of this scales. again he took the blinds off of lady justice and threw her under a speeding bus. jon: but let's go back to that letter that you signed along with several other republican senators american people want folks in washington to do the business of the american people. are you afraid of running a foul of the american voter by -- you know vowing to sort of grind things to a halt in the senate in response to the trump conviction? >> you probably the best thing that can happen for america is for congress to get nothing more accomplished more likely than not anything they accomplish between now

alvin bragg is already agreed to a.ame committee, the house judiciary committee, on july 12, the day after donald trump will be sentenced in the case prosecuted by alvin bragg. there is no reason for alvin bragg to agree to testify to the house judiciary committee but he has agreed to do it and so there was no reason for the republicans to have a fake hearing today about alvin bragg when he's not there in which the republicans have to sit on the full side of the room listening to the truth. >> i want to begin by quoting the jury in the manhattan hush money payment trial. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. lt. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. guilty. this is what the jury pronounced unanimously on every count. >> joining us now is democratic congressman eric swalwell of california. he served as impeachment manager in the second impeachm

across the aisle is alvin bragg. alvin bragg grew up on a block in harlem that is called strivers row. his mother and father met in a small town in virginia in the eighth grade. they went to separate colleges. sr. went to syracuse and they came to new york and worked as professionals as most of the people live in strivers row do. they all have high temperatures for their kids. and on strivers row the children learned that if you worked really, really hard in school. if you worked really, really hard. you will be able to do work that you can be proud of. so alvin bragg has been aimed at this point. you know, for reasons that we will never make sense in my memoirs. i decided to spend the day at his alma mater, alvin bragg. for the events surrounding graduation week at harvard. when alvin bragg graduated from harvard college, the school newspaper they ran a profile of him. " the harvard crimson" and the title was the anointed one. and the article that gives you what you think is the most hyperbolic title you could imagi

in alvin bragg's case they did not talk to the press.se himself to harassment a possibly threats and harassment. i'm a reporter and i like it. what a contrast. >> it's a stark contrast. i think it goes to show and when joe biden and his supporters talk about the rule of law, they mean it. you can disagree with his policies. talk about the border and other things that are not in my daily work but on the question of whether or not the rule of law is to be enforced in fear or favor to be given to anyone including the son of a sitting president of the united states, the republicans are full of it on the trump side and biden is not. >> walk the walk. final question, independence and the department of justice. we have a post-nixon order. one of the things about nixon, a level of regulation, norms, and statures was the department of justice can't just be a tool in the hands of the executive to pursue vendetta. to prosecute and punish enemies. to protect friends. the trump vision is that. explicitly that. russ vought, they really think we are go

we as democrats have to get alvin braggs back.surround our brother, especially the caucus and black democratic leaders. we need to surround him. since the beginning they were mischaracterizing him, being racist as hell to alvin bragg. i know i deal with it directly. the last thing i will say is this is why elections matter. i don't want to hear this crap about your vote doesn't matter. i will stay home and all this nonsense in november. if you stay home and you do not exercise the power of your vote, you are giving your power to white supremacist maga individuals who are turning this democracy into a fascist state, bottom line. we need to mobilize, young people, people of color, people who don't normally vote. yes the system is broken. you want to change it, get engaged in support of candidates like me and others across this country who are actually trying to do something about it. >> we need more time with him. >> this is the chairman talking to the control room. we appreciate you, sir. >> thank you. >> i just have to tell the tr

for people who don't know jim jordan sent a letter to the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg asking if this sounds familiar it is because the committee has not made clear the scope of the testimony and this is bragg's response and they are saying we look forward to discussing with the committee staff how the office may accommodate the invitation but also protect the integrity of an ongoing terminal prosecution. this to me, the best way to protect new york's sovereign interest is to not legitimize the shenanigans. this reminds me of when fani willis got a similar letter and she told jim jordan where they could put it. >> it is exactly like the fani willis situation sherry. -- fani willis situation. i think it's understandable here that alvin bragg does want to testify because trump has made so many false claims about this prosecution and specific prosecutors. he has claimed for example that matthew calendula is a plant from the biden administration so i understand why it is that he wants to maybe go and testify and it is to be seen whether he actually will end up doing so. he says in

there is a series of moments each and every day that was two years in the making with alvin bragg's teaming about, how do you construct this case in a way that no one can say it is solely because of that guy over there, who is disgruntled and upset because he served time in prison and that guy, the one he used to love, did not, and i think they did that masterfully. >> and adam, district attorney alvin bragg made appearances in the courtroom probably when his schedule allowed, a few times over the course of the trial during various points of testimony including, by the way, some of the most undramatic testimony he happened to be in the courtroom for, but he was there for every minute of the summations by the defense and the prosecution, and i was sitting there imagining alvin bragg a couple of years ago, when he really started staring at this evidence and at the point where he was deciding to go forward, to seek an indictment, go forward to the grand jury in this case, to seek an indictment on these facts, he, no doubt, at that time was envisioning and hearing in his head, with those fin

alvin bragg.former white house senior adviser steven miller and arizona republican senate candidate kari lake. it has been a compelling morning. stephen, your reaction to all that has a taken place. >> well, the western legal system that a we have treasured and prized in country for over two centuries and can that, more broadly than that, has been the crown jewel of western severallization for centuries more -- civilization in this country is now dead and buried. justice is doled out based upon whether or not it serves the agenda of the democrat party, the radical left that controls the legal system. innocent, radical-left rioters don't spend a day in jail -- or guilty radical-left rioters while the innocent opposition leader to president biden is facing a life many jail for a noncrime from a biden donor judge that has not even been articulated. to this day, nobody can even say what the crime is because there is no crime. it's a communist show trial. we're now seeing an incredible uprising of publ

a grand jury was impaneled abnormal new yorkers, not alvin bragg come and he presented his evidence,led the jury. both sides got to choose. >> you can indict a ham sandwich. that is at a jury is good for. >> jon: okay, but generally, you wouldn't convict a ham sandwich because at some point, 12 new yorkers would say, that is a ham sandwich. [applause] >> and we will see what an appeals court does. you are putting me in an unenviable position of defending donald trump. i've been a long time -- >> jon: no, i'm putting you in position of defending the process that he was put through. that process has standards. you said it yourself. an appeals court is going to look at this. there are many safeguards within our legal system and he is getting the benefit of almost all of them, in a way that poor new yorkers will never get a sniff of! >> agree. >> jon: so he is getting due=ier process than anyone has ever gotten. just because you don't like the result of the election, our elections are a fraud and a third world country. he doesn't like their result of a criminal case, records or fraud. wh

i think that the key decision here that led to today is one that alvin bragg was vilified for and if the way you know that is because when he was elected in this town and lots of people across the nation were hoping that donald trump would be indicted, because they thought for far too long he escaped responsibility and alvin bragg said it is not ready. that, to me, is the decision that led to the result yesterday. you do not bring a case until it is ready, if it ever becomes ready, and he deserves an enormous amount of credit for making that decision. it is the right decision and i don't think it was a hard one because everything you see about him is that it is not hard when you're just doing your job and doing the right thing. i was struck by the phrase at his press conference, his brief press conference where he said i did my job. i think that is the way he saw it and when the case was ready he said we will go forward. >> we are going to squeeze in a quick break. when we come back, we will hear donald trump agreeing with me, that he couldn't testify, because if he testified he woul

alvin bragg has already appeared -- agreed to appear at the house judiciary committee on july 12, theto agree to testify to the house judiciary committee that he has agreed to do it, so there was no reason for the republicans to have a fake hearing today about alvin bragg when he's not there. in which, the republicans had to sit on the full side of the room, listening to the truth. >> i want to begin by quoting the jury in the manhattan hush money payment trial, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. this is what the jury announced, unanimously on every count. >> joining us now is congressman eric swallwell, he served as an impeachment manager in the second impeachment trial, congressman swallwell, sometimes they make it too easy for you. >> and sometimes it's okay to have a little fun. >> it is a complete corruption of the concept of the house judiciary committee

alvin bragg has not done a partisan which one. he could've chosen to bring up the case as soon as he took office, and he took a lot of criticism at the time for not doing that. instead, he took his time to build a strong case of his own and it paid off. let's be real. if trump had been acquitted, alvin bragg would have respected the decision. the conclusions the jury of 12 every day many women came to. if donald trump is worried about things looking rick, he might want to start with a legal strategy. a new report, some activity to say the least is fishy. according to the report, quote, nine witnesses against former president trump have received significant financial benefits including large races from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash in his media company. of course, to the ex-president, equal justice under the law means one thing for him and another for everybody else. preet bharara knows a thing or two in the legal system. served as attorney for the southern district of new york and he jo

in alvin bragg's case they did not and i think we all know the reason. they would expose themselves to harassment and possible threats and violence. here you had the jurors talking to us, which, great, am a reporter. i like it, but what a contrast. >> it is a very stark contrast and i think it goes to show that when joe biden and his supporters talk about the rule of law and nobody being above the law, they mean it. you can disagree with joe biden's policies and talk about the border and all of these things that are not in my bailiwick, but on the question of whether or not the rule of law is to be enforced and no favor given to anyone, including the son of a sitting president of the united states. the republicans are full of it on trump side and biden is not. >> he has walked the walk. my final question for you is about independence in the department of justice. we have a post mix in order. one of the things about nixon and the reckoning at a level of regulation, norms, and that schuetz was the department of justice can't just be a tool in the hands of

alvin bragg made no secret he wanted to get donald trump.hat's out there, everybody heard it, he ran on it, everybody knew it so the headline, it's interesting, kind of troubling i think. it's wrong and your question about what was the crime? we have a lot of smart legal scholars, jonathan turley is one and i heard him asking over and over, what is the crime? if he's not sure what the crime is then who can be sure of it? there are trump cost of legal analyst and other networks we won't mention who were sort of struggling to come up with a crime alone 34 felonies that guilty across the board. i've seen a lot of people on the democratic side at least some saying this is bad for trump, this is what we wanted, people are going to be able to pull a lever for a convicted felon, people on the right thing this is going to solidify, people are angry and the guy in the clip i will register and vote because it wrong, i'm not confident which way this goes, i think time will tell obviously but how are you feeling about here in the first 48 hours? >> no f

alvin bragg wants it that way. this is all by design. to do this again, go right ahead, slap on the wrist, maybe at best, and you can go back on your way. i'll end this segment the same way i ended the last topic. what a joke, an absolute joke. >> absolutely no lesson learned there. joe, thank you very much for joining us. have a great weekend. >> thanks, joe. >> have a good weekend. >> caught on video ripping down an israeli flag from a medical office in baltimore. it turns out this isn't the first time. just a couple weeks ago different israeli flag stolen. the owner of the flags says this should be treated as a hate crime. dr. john parker joins me now. to be clear, you originally put up these flags in october at the outset of the violence there in israel. they were taken down. you decided to put up the camera. what are you thinking when you see this footage on your screen? >> it's absolutely hateful. it's the same fellow. it's just -- it's my business, my property. just so -- the anger in his face. you can see it. it's just awful. >>

did alvin bragg just follow the facts and the law?, the truth is that this case was profoundly political from the start, and this would not be a case that would be brought against any other businessman who engaged in some kind of business records thing seven years ago, i think. and you can see that in the closing arguments when the prosecutors says this is election fraud, more or less, that this is what might have decided the 2016 election and made donald trump the president president. i do think maybe the defense could have taken a different tack by stipulating that there was some sort of affair with stormy daniels and preempting her testimony or much of it from coming in even though the judge seems to have lost control of her as a witness, and that could be another potential avenue of appeal for the president -- paul: because there was prejudicial testimony brought in. >> correct. and the trump team could argue what does any of this have to do9 with the business records that we had? similarly, i think the defense could have stipulat

alvin bragg's team? >> nicolle, i don't know how closely judge march merchan is watching trump's public comments because if he were, for example, during the trial trump made the comments about one of the lawyers on d.a. bragg's staff that never were raised either by the d.a. office during the trial itself but also weren't raised by judge merchan. so i don't know what his media consumption is like. i will say, though, that to rev's point, one of the points that trump keeps trying to make and i think will come up at the sentencing is a fiction that shows his lack of remorse and is not covered by the gag order at all. it's the fiction that the charges against him were engineered by the biden administration in collusion with alvin bragg and some unspecified cast of associates. in fact, the d.a. office uses that in their filing today. he did it earlier this week on the trail, too, in racine, wisconsin, saying it was because of crooked joe biden and his group. as long as he keeps saying that that's definitely

you have jim jordan calling for alvin bragg.lly good at writing letters and less good at passing legislation that helps the american people. but it is a lot of, look over here and not over here. if they applied their outrage to an appearance of bias. not actual bias but an appearance of bias which is the supreme court operating from for recusal, they should be hair on fire about what is happening. >> by the way, if the verdict came back not guilty or if it was a serious hang in the direction of not guilty, you would be justified in saying, let's bring alvin bragg in and asked him questions about why he did this? at least i would give you some benefit of the doubt. but to attacked the verdict is not an attack on alvin bragg are on the doj or on the prosecutors who tried the case or an attack on the judge who presided over it. it is an attack on 12 jurors. so one ages, and say what you really want to say which is that those jurors come in your minds, are liars and fraudsters. but they won't say that so they will attack everyone el

if it had been law we wouldn't have had the situation with alvin bragg and what he's doing to donaldve this was led by the biden administration. john ratcliffe joined me on sunday and said this was all coordinated, all of these indictments on trump. watch this. >> what happened in this case is that after donald trump announced he was going to run for president, four different sets of prosecutors went to joe biden's white house to meet with joe biden's lawyers and his department of justice from georgia, are from new york, latisha james, jack smith, shortly before he brought his indictments and of course alvin bragg who not only met with joe biden, joe biden's lawyers in the white house, he took one of joe biden's lawyers from the department of justice to have him bring this case. so you know, all of these people and all of these jurisdictions, maria, are proxies of the biden white house. maria: mr. chairman, do you have evidence that all of those prosecutors met with white house counsel before making these indictments. >> two things. we have the timing, john's exactly right, three day

joe biden light hunter biden lied and alvin bragg recall an ftc violation i think.us what they gave the laptop at the trial date had it established by the fbi agent is real authentic and so the media said the evidence was now used they forget all the other files on the laptop the laptop is authentic at the files are real then you have these detailed accounts of a multimillion dollar influence peddling operation run by the biden family also being authentic but the media doesn't want to go there and that's part of the problem of what the house committees have faced when i testified in the biden impeachment hearing i said there was evidence to do up impeachment inquiry i didn't prejudge the evidence but at every stage democrats have opposed inquiries into the president's role or knowledge and allotted these files in the laptop that's not likely to change even after this trial. >> sean: merrick garland to scorching donald trump and his allies for attacks on the justice department sing it's dangerous for people safety. first of all we need to protect every government off

. >> todd: focus on this michael colangelo and alvin bragg.ng his hand and saying, send me to i think issel a for my craft. what reason could michael colangelo have to leave the doj, go down to the manhattan d.a. if not for desire to help democrats and get trump? >> the doj may not have intervened to reassert jurisdiction of the fec, appropriate legal avenue, they deployed resources to the state of new york in the form ever of mic michael colangelo who led prosecution against president trump on behalf of alvin bragg. he takes a pay cut to work in court. he is politically motivated. there was no case to begin with. subsequent prosecutor would have dismissed it. biden is behind this whole thing. he's managed doj, with the soros-backed institute to alvin bragg's office with intent of dismantling the criminal justice system. alvin bragg is ignoring crime on subways and streets and being trained to weaponize against biden political opponents. >> todd: if we don't stop this lawfare, can our century-old justice system survive? >> it can't and we have

he has called a hearing with alvin bragg, the district attorney in new york, on this case.hat would be for thursday. alvin bragg has said that he will not appear until after the sentencing later this summer. host: other news last week, continuing into this week, after some back-and-forth, a date is set for benjamin netanyahu to speak on capitolnext week, when he will actually be up here. what are you going to be looking for in that address and in the reaction from congress? guest: one thing that will be interesting to watch is how the decrats and or all o this. -- handle all of this. it will be tricky. we have seen them air broader viewpoints about aid to israel since the attack by hamas on israel and the israeli military response to that. so, i think that some of that is probably latent feelings that are now, now people feel comfortable sharing them. part of it also is that the party is shifting on this. so this intense military conflict in response to the hamas attack has really sort of created a much brder range of viewpoints to come out into the n the party. there is no

remarkable downstream journey from the justice department in washington, d.c., and pops up in alvin bragg's office to go help prosecute trump, and -- >> i am saying that is false, and i did not dispatch mr. coanglo anywhere. i am telling you that i had nothing to do with it. >> and you may not have had anything to do with it, but we have contemporaneous evidence from his book who said, we put together these legal eagles to go get trump, and so when we have to look at the facts and the law that are not being followed, and target is acquired here, trump, and then you assembled the legal talent from doj and mr. pomerance to go get to him, and -- >> i will not comment on that. >> well, you won't comment on it, and that i see that it is going to do damage well beyond our time here. and i see that my time is expired. >> and mr. garland, would you like to comment on anything that mr. gaetz commented on? >> well, i do not know any reason that he would have been there, but i have no knowledge of how he went there. >> okay. the case was brought by the manhattan d.a., and so it is a state case and not
