maggie haberman and alyssa farah griffin are back with me, and we should note. it's trump himself, who said that he would be indicted last tuesday. that has not happened. it's unclear what's going to happen with this grand jury in new york, but i want to get your reaction maggie to what? we just heard there from jon stewart. well he makes a argument that i think we all heard in civics classes right, which is that nobody is above the law, and the law is supposed to be equally applied. now the reality of the law is some. you know it is discretionary. it depends on what a prosecutor does. and prosecutors don't have to bring charges. in every case, they can decide. there is a reason not to. i think what he's arguing. is that being a former president, maybe a future president is not a reason to not charge someone you know it does make the point has been made repeatedly that treating trump differently because he was a president. and because he is a candidate now is letting him be above the law. it is giving him a different standard. and we have had that precedent in t

let's discuss all of this with cnn political commentator alyssa farah griffin, and former congressman, also a former acting white house chief of staff for donald trump. what do you think is going on in donald trump's mind right now as the walls appear to be closing in on him in this hush money investigation? >> from what i've been hearing, he's obviously very anxious about the potential pending indictment and any subsequent arrests that could come with that, but i'm also hearing from people around him, he feels a bit emboldened by this. i think there's a lot of republicans like myself who want to see trump held accountable for egregious things he had a role in, whether it's the mar-a-lago documents investigation, january 6th, but there are some concerns that this d.a. investigation is seven years old, it's not necessarily -- we don't know the details, but necessarily a rock solid case, and i think he sees this as an opportunity to get republicans to rally around him and say, this is a witch hunt. this is, you know, a liberal judge wanting to undo the 2016 election results. so i think

i want to bring in alyssa farah griffin, she served as white house director communications of the previous also cnn chief political correspondent dana bash, co-anchor of cnn state of the union. alyssa, if you look at your former boss, president, trump looking at these poll numbers, what does he say? >> i am sure he is a bit threatened by how much rhonda santos is gaining on him. i mean, they are statistically in a dead heat right now. but i caution this. i think 40%, there's a theory of the case that a 40%, kind of a high-water mark for donald trump. so long as he maintains that and does not lose it, this raises his. and i've seen him operate on the national stage enough to know that a lot of folks will ultimately consolidate around him. now, for nearly two years out. i don't want to make pronouncements too quickly. desantis has a lot more to prove than trump does. with trump, not many american minds are already made up about him. so, for him to be pulling at actually 40%, it's actually quite remarkable. it means he still has an incredible hold on the republican base. so, the open question
