smith as soon as they receive target letters from jack smith. trump employee for could start a stampede of trump witnesses against donald trump in all of the criminal cases that donald trump will be facing. trump employee for use all to various received a target letter from special prosecutor jack smith after donald trump was indicted by jack smith in espionage in obstruction of justice indictment. imagine working at mar-a-lago and having a target letter from jack smith after you have watched your coworker march into a federal courthouse in miami as a criminal defendant with donald trump. as a trump employee working at mar-a-lago in a matter how much you worship to fear donald trump. when you watched him get arrested that day, by jack smith something should have happened to your confidence in donald trump's ability to protect you the superseding indictment that jack smith filed on thursday added more criminal charges against donald trump for his attempts to destroy evidence in the case. tell us the story of two trump employees that made two very

jack smith -- without that beard, you showed baby face video of jack smith.om a different generation. i think he understands the way an authoritarian can use these soft methods of increasing their power and staying in power. i think his experience prosecuting a sitting head of state, as you highlighted a moment ago, really prepared him for a moment like this. it shows when someone is desperate to stay in power, it's important ultimately to find the way to bring him to account quickly, and i think that's what he's trying to do here. >> yeah. understood. really interesting. and like i said, we wanted to turn to a fellow prosecutor for this. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. we are done with our special report, but not with the news of the day and "the beat." we have a lot coming up, including as we talk about where evidence moves. a former republican white house veteran who says jack smith does have the goods on trump and why that matters not only in court, but beyond. stay with us. nd stay with us -dad, what's with your toenail? -oh, that.

have not been jacked up for consumers. honestly, i think what we are seeing is a lot of disinformation from jack's friends who are oil and gas ceos who want people to believe that it is not reliable or that is extensive when in fact, it is more reliable than fossil fuels and it is cheaper than fossil fuels. host: reliability of renewables, jack? guest: i want to reiterate, i am not against wind and solar renewables per se. wind against his government mandating these things. government subsidizing these things. if they are so cheap and reliable, the cash flow should flow to them. but we still have all these subsidies and mandates in place. it makes me skeptical of them being so great to begin with. as i said, i want energy technology to move forward. i don't have a dog in the oil and gas fight. i don't hang out with these guys. what i want is americans to have access to abundant, affordable energy. i think that free enterprise is the best way to get there. host: where do you think the arrow is pointing, the arrow a free ent

mike pence could not ignore jack smith's subpoena. mike pence went to court in what he knew was a legally hopeless attempt to block jacks mitt subpoena. mike pence went to court to try to show trump's quarters, whose votes he wants in the presidential campaign to think that he was forced by judicial process to testify to jack smith's grand jury. mike pence did not just testify to jack smith's grand jury. he became the star witness, and he will be the start witness when the case that the united states of america versus donald j trump is presented to a trial jersey in washington, d.c.. they will be the first jurors in history to see a first former vice president at the united states raise his right hand and take an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the criminal defendant sitting in front of the jury, the former president of the united states. when the former vice president is under oath on the witness stand, testifying against the former president, mike pence will deliver the testimony that he obvio

jack: where is the call right now?> i would say it's 2 - one against the recession for the rest of 2023 and early 2024. anything can happen in the world that can upset that, what i hope is jay powell in his last news conference was much more two-sided and i see the risk on the downside as well and on the upside if we see the economy slipping we see initial jobless claims go up or any other sign of a slowdown in the consumer not only does powell have to stop raising rates he will have to start thinking about lowering rates even though there is a bit more inflation will system. jack: that lags in new forces coming with the student loan forgiveness india and so forth. let's talk about the fitch downgrade, you and others have been critical in the timing and so forth. there was one point tough to argue with it does not seem the house and the senate are functional enough to really take on the problem of a huge deficit of national. it's going to require a difficult decision which our government doesn't seem capable of making.

district attorney willis said, quote, i don't know what jack smith is doing and jack smith doesn't knowin all honestly, if jack smith was standing next to me, i'm not sure i would know who he was. my guess is he probably can't pronounce my name correctly. full disclosure -- i mispronounced her name the first time i said it before i learn that she pronounces her first name fani. joining us now is gwen keyes fleming, former district attorney in dekalb county, georgia. and back with us is andrew weissmann. gwen keyes fleming, with your experience, as a district attorney in georgia, what do you make of where fani willis is tonight? she is also said over the weekend, she said the sentence, we are ready to go, on this case. >> first of, all i don't think it's unusual that she hasn't coordinated with jack smith. again, that's not somebody who is in georgia. prosecuting circles in the state are very close. we are not talking about the u.s. attorney in the northern, middle, or southern districts of the state, where she might run into them. but as you've heard, she is getting her team ready. and

we heard from jack smith moments ago. special counsel smith has a toop of independence had his role, but he does work within the attorney general's justice department. now we're told any moment, certainly within the hour according to the guidance we have, the attorney general will come out and speak. we will be bringing that to viewer as soon as we get eyes on the attorney general. we'll go as early as we can, same way we did with the special counsel on a night where we're dealing with the indictment of donald trump. david, go ahead. >> i was going to go on andrew's point. paragraph 99 where the president comes out and says he and the vice president are in total agreement, knowing that they're not, knowing that his position is wrong, it is not just another lie, but it also really speaks to his wrecklessness and dangerous necessary of his lies. >> looking at that, i want to read for neal something else i want to get into. we're going through this piece by piece. it is a lengthy speaking indictment. smith alleges on january

jack smith, i have to say, i watched a lot of federal investigations, and jack smith's probe has been of the most meteoric and rapid that i've ever seen, both on the classified records case, and now what we think is an indictment to follow a target letter some weeks ago. but it is coming at a particularly useful time for donald trump to make his claim that it's all about politics and stopping him from returning to the white house and being the savior he likes to describe himself as to his base. >> ari, what do you make of how quick to carol's point of how quick jack smith has operated here? there was a little criticism at the doj that when january 6th happened, the biden administration came in, they were slow to work their way to the top of the attempt to overturn the election. they certainly went after those that stormed the capitol. we saw that. that was the largest doj investigation i believe at the time, and it's been yielding tremendous results in convictions for those involved in the violence that day. but there was a criticism that the doj was not going after the big fish until

mike pence could not ignore jack smith's subpoena. mike pence went to court in what he knew was a legally hopeless attempt to block jacks mitt subpoena. mike pence went to court to try to show trump's quarters, whose votes he wants in the presidential campaign to think that he was forced by judicial process to testify to jack smith's grand jury. mike pence did not just testify to jack smith's grand jury. he became the star witness, and he will be the start witness when the case that the united states of america versus donald j trump is presented to a trial jersey in washington, d. c.. they will be the first jurors in history to see a first former vice president at the united states raise his right hand and take an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the criminal defendant sitting in front of the jury, the former president of the united states. when the former vice president is under oath on the witness stand, testifying against the former president, mike pence will deliver the testimony that he obvi

first, jack smith, the special counsel in this case. this is the second time now coming before the american people. let's listen. >> good evening. today say an indictment was unsealed charging donald j. trump with conspiring to defraud the united states, conspiring to disenfranchize voters and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. the indictment was issued by a grand jury of citizens here in the district of columbia, and it sets forth the crimes charged in detail. i encourage everyone to read it in full. the attack on our nation's capitol on january sixth, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of american democracy. it's described in the indictment that it was fueled by lies, lies by the defendant. it targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the us government and the nation's process of collecting counting and certifying the results of the presidential election. the men and women of law enforcement who defended the us capitol on january 6th are heroes. they are patriots and they are the very best of

jack smith was in court today.heard from reporters he and donald trump were stealing glances at each other here and there. we know this indictment lays out what jack's mets team says is proof the former president was lying big -- lying about the election results. he knew he was lying. what do you make of what we saw in the arraignment today and the entire case the special counsel's office has brought? >> i think it is interesting jack smith chose to show up today. he did not need to do that. he made a decision to be there. frankly he made a decision to bring this case even after the other case had been brought. he obviously views this case as important. he thought it was important to bring it. he signaled that i being there today in the courtroom. >> one more question for david on the legal perspective. the next court date being set for august 28. clearly the defense team asked for the last day possible for the next court hearing. we are seeing we understand one of the strategies of the trump defense team is to pos

is jack smith trying to take away his first amendment rights? >> trump is right, he is the first politician, or at least the first president to be accused of several serious federal felonies. they're two different indictments. the idea that this has to do with his first amendment rights is bogus through and through. i think the jack smith debunked it in a filing earlier this week before judge chutkan. what he said is, i'm not trying to undermine your first amendment rights. you're like to speak, but there's a difference between speaking and intimidating witnesses. trump was warned about this, lawrence, at his arraignment. an extraordinary moment last week with the judge. the judge said, look, you can't go and try to influence jurors, things like that. he said he understood. and then within 24 hours, here is threatening basically intimidating witnesses might, pence, saying if you come after me, oh come after you to the whole world and so on. this isn't the way in any other criminal trial can operate. if you look this defendant get away with it, t

to l up against jack smith's desire to -et up against jack smith's desire to get this— up against jackza, i want to bring you in now, because you are thusly worked on the former president's transition team. do you have an idea from your contacts what his mindset is like right now? he is an: . his mindset is like right now? he is angry- obviously — his mindset is like right now? he is angry. obviously he _ his mindset is like right now? he is angry. obviously he is _ his mindset is like right now? he is angry. obviously he is disappointed it has— angry. obviously he is disappointed it has come — angry. obviously he is disappointed it has come to this. he is not surprised. they have felt this was going _ surprised. they have felt this was going to — surprised. they have felt this was going to happen for several months now _ going to happen for several months now and _ going to happen for several months now. and so they have had plenty of time to _ now. and so they have had plenty of time to prepare. obviously the president, it is hard to get inside his mind — president, it is hard to get

why did jack smith put that in the indictment?oing to get more in that, and if you'll come back next time i have you. i hope you'll come back. >> sure. love to. >> want me to hold my answer on that one? >> yes, because it's that kind of breaking news today. our thanks to you. have to fit in a break. >>> when we come back, the former ahead of the criminal doj division is standing by forw their response on this. that's next. that's next. is strong enamel- nothing beats it. new pronamel active shield actively shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a gamechanger for my patients- it really works. when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see results fast, rinvoq delivered rapid symptom relief and helped leave bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc tried to slow me down... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc caused damage rinvoq came through by visibly repairing my co

and the one you mention that jack smith, the indictments that jack smith secured previously, those are related to the hiding of classified documents at trump's private home in florida. and his refusal to comply with the f b i in hand, those documents over, he's also charged and 40 counts related to that case in florida. and of course, we also have the criminal charges he faces in the state of new york over hush money payments. he made during his 2016 campaign and also any day now were expecting potential state charges coming from the state of florida that look more in detail at the way that he tried to overturn the election results there. dear. alright, so how does it cost her life as the in the washington dc? heidi will come back to you when, when jack smith gives that press conference. let's go now to melanie sloane. she's a former federal prosecutor and joins us live from washington dc. meaning it always good to have you on the program. so just to cut through this indictment then it's fairly robust from what heidi was saying, that from your legal expertise, how serious the charges a

but take a listen to the d.a. >> i don't know what jack smith is doing and jack smith doesn't know whatng. in all honesty, if he was standing next to me, i'm not sure i'd know who he was. my guess is he can't even pronounce my name correctly. >> i want to bring in blaine alexander and charlie sykes. lisa ruben is an msnbc legal analyst. i guess there's a difference, lisa, between coordinating and communicating. what do you think is going on between jack smith and fani willis? >> i agree there's a difference between coordinating and communicating but in this case, i actually don't think either one is happening. i really do think that fani willis and the department of justice are pursuing their investigations on separate tracks. once either one of them or both indicts, do i think there will be some sort of communication? probably. i do think there will be communications between and among the various prosecutors here to try and determine a schedule. in particular, alvin bragg, manhattan d.a., last week said to a new york public radio show host that just because he was the first to charge d

lori: i appreciate that jack, thank you. host: another jack in florida, independent. caller: good morning, c-span. the earth is a closed loop system and it is showing in sao paulo, brazil, you fly through smoke. your eyes will water, you start coughing. if you fly into china, you can look at the smog in peking china. because we don't have any of the united states, i believe l.a. back in the 50's or 60's, that is when we started getting unleaded fuels. host: we are short on time, what is your question for the panel? caller: the products, they are washing up in the pacific. solar energy is not making smoke, it is an improvement. petroleum industry is still going to get the money, they are just not selling gas as much. we are still seeing petroleum, we just need to take care of the planet. host: i think i got your point. lori, i want to start with you. lori: i think the caller, and i want to go back to the previous caller. the thing about solar and wind and making energy here at home, making a clean energy here at home is it is safe here. we are not exporting it. the oth

willis told a reporter, i don't know what jack smith is doing and jack smith doesn't know what i'm doing all honesty, if jack smith was standing next to me, i'm not sure i would know who he is. joining me is a political reporter for the "ed alan tick -- atlantic journal constitution." why is he going to such much effort to highlight -- >> yeah, she -- >> mr. trump and his lawyers will know everything. shouldn't the state and federal teams know what witnesses are saying to one another so they are not blindsided? >> she said she doubted jack smith could pronounce her name right. there is going to be overlap. this has been a diagram with overlap between the two. we know both federal and local prosecutors have contacted the governor, the focus of donald trump's ire throughout 2020. they both contacted secretary of state raffensperger, who is on the other side of that phone call where trump demanded he find exactly enough votes to overturn his election defeat here in georgia. fani willis has said she will pursue her own investigation. this is an investigation that's been going on for more tha

jack smith didn't have to do that. when describing a december 29th conversation between then president donald trump and vice president mike pence, jack smith did not have to include the phrase, as reflected in the vice president's contemporary us notes. jack smith referred to the presidents annexed can brainiacs notes more than once in the indictment to make it very clear to donald trump right now what he is up against in this case and to make it clear to the american people how solid the prosecutions evidence ears in this case. donald trump was eventually going to discover, through the legal discovery process of evidence, that mike pence took notes a long trump's conversations and the prosecution has those notes. the indictment clearly implies that everything that appears in quotation marks, and on trump's conversations with mike pence, comes from pence's notes, including the line you are too honest. as i emphasized here, don trump saying you are too honest to mike pence is gonna be the headline of the trump trial cov

jack: tell me the story.one person tried to kind of set certain groups against each other and against me. jack: other than the fact that he was trying to overthrow you, what was the evidence that he was a spy? denis: we obviously have our, comrades in russia who do different types of sabotage, infiltration, whether until. in his position he was controlling that type of work. when we got our hands on his cell phones, we found there was a lot of videos of guys sending, evidence of the work. and he never forwarded those videos to us, but he forwarded those videos to some contact. we didn't find out who that was, so that was more than suspicious. jack: how did you kill him? denis: well, that would remain a secret. but there was no, no torture, no pain. let's put it like that. jack: we asked the spokesman for ukrainian intelligence, known as the gur, about kapustin's claims. during our interview kapustin said that he had eliminated a suspected russian spy from their ranks. was this ordered by the gur? andriy: i do

he is attacking jack smith repeatedly. and you see in the filing john lauro doing to joe biden's words exactly what jack smith predicts they will do with the evidence in this case if they get to release it publicly, which will take five words out of a 15 word line that some witnesses said completely distorted and put it out there and try to sell it for the public. and then, jack smith's terms, among other things, pollute the jury pool. >> yes, first of all, lawrence, i'm a little shocked to be saying this. but i actually agree in a way with donald trump. judge chutkan is a jack smith dream judge. she is a judge with integrity. we all know that nothing scares donald trump more than a judge who is actually gonna uphold the rule of law. and i think you are exactly right when you talked about that biden quote that is in the filing today, which is wrong on multiple levels. the most obvious way in which it's wrong is that joe biden is not the prosecutor in this case. indeed, he has nothing to do with it. jack smith is a career p

we didn't have to wait this long, we don't have to wait for jack smith?hdi, we are sending a great message. you attempt a coup, we will get you in two years and 220 days. isn't that deterring? come on! merrick garland should've appointed jack smith in march of 2021, because even donald trump -- two weeks before and was going to run. jack smith has done an amazing job in seven months, i can applaud him enough. i've said before, mehdi, he is the john wick of prosecutors. you can say giannulli died in episode four, he didn't, i he's never going to die. >> don't ruin it for people. they are already making john week five. they are making john wick five. >> just like john wick lives forever, jack smith will live forever in donald trump's head as he sits in a prison cell for his last days. that is my hope. >> we will have to see, we will have to seat. you keep aspiring. ronaldo mayor rt, judge ledarrius cordell, thank you for your time. dean, stick around, i've got more stuff to talk to you about later in the hour. the one thing donald trump will never have to w

jack was in a different speaker system. he had travel to new york to take on the national conservatory. there he was a conductor of the orchestra, and he was there on a special mission to create an american sound, to, to help me sessions of the united states carver style. and why did she do? well, the same he had done with his own country, look into the folk melodies, into the folk music, into the music of the people, the afro americans tunes that the music of the church as he was very much mount of the church. she went to this place, iowa and he spent summers there with his family and that's where she was playing at the church. and he was going to church from a very different quotes the and he starts the 2nd moment with this crow beautiful carouse from, with all the trombones on the tuba. and then the strings. so soft is basically like just the sound of the breath of the listeners in the church. and the preacher is the english horn. us, there's preaching the, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music i think ever,

>> aaron, i'm surprised that when the judge received jack smith's motion for protective order, and jack smith quoted donald trump, you know, when donald trump posted what can only be described as a threat, i'm not surprised the judge has ordered them to now respond at light speed, as you said, i was in court on thursday i saw the judge admonished donald trump as follows. mr. trump, i remind you that it is a crime to influence a juror, threaten a witness, retaliate against anyone or obstruct the administration of justice. not 24 hours, later we donald trump seems to have done that by posting, if you go after, me i'm coming after you. i look forward to seeing how they explained this to the judge. >> in your, opinion do you think he purposely defied that order? >> that is what i would be arguing if i wear the prosecutor with representing the interests of the american people. i think he already tried to walk it back and say, well this is just about politics. i was really talking about my opponents in the race for the presidency. but don't think anybody is buying that. >> right, glenn, stay

it's also striking to see where jack smith draws a line. some fraudulent electors have been indicted in michigan and different local cases, for example. others have not. we know now what we didn't know last week. why at least special counsel smith thinks justice sometimes means not charging some of those grassroots trump fans. because he concluded that some of them were just naive pawns. deceived by more powerful and informed trump coconspirators. indictment noting that some of trump's fraudulent electors were tricked into participating in the scheme. i point that out because it shows the doj's precision here. it also is bad for the coconspirators and the leaders of the plot because it adds the evidence that they knew in advance they were committing crimes. they were so clear on that point, they were even hiding and lying the full plan from the very people they recruited into it. the electors plot was fundamentally about lying as a pretext. the idea was not that the real eelect toerl college would implode over random people pretending to be

jack smith said, no, that's not true. he was told time and time again the things he was saying were not true. he knew what he was saying was false. >> you've followed work on both trump cases. did anything surprise you tonight? >> i think one of the things that surprised me is unlike in the documents case where you were shocked by things the justice department had uncovered this indictment -- the special counsel's office tells readers this is what we believe happened, this is how trump and his caconspirators did it, how they were able to work together to sow doubt about the election and intimidate election officials and when that didn't work using the levers of the justice department to get to that end and using a means to get to that end. that's great. what was interesting to me there was very little new information in the indictment. there was very little the public didn't already know based on the january 6th hearing or based on the reporting that happened soon after trump left office. so that was really striking to me

so for jack 9, what do you place that i might take your way. and so it was a trick question because of people who don't know how much of your profession is waiting and the arts of waiting for the right moment and then to do it just right. and you'll get one chance. and i was really impressed by your, your technique and rehearsals. i honestly have never heard of the triangles. how do i have it to say and can you show us, what do you have to do? it's a template flaws, a little bit faster, a fast temp of well, so i got the got a got them. that's very funny. there's a low tech at the time. so we, oh, 1st the, and there was a couple of the, them like this, or the, would that be cut off from the biographer of divorce shack? here's an indian dance. yeah. was whatever that supposed to be so much and maybe that's just a clean shaven indian dance on it. done this through you is that the trio then has rather this bohemian character? good. almost to be an easy for me to start then it'll finish. yeah. good for me. that sounds like an in law. yeah. now them,

on page 2, jack smith neutralizes this thing.all speech. that's a guy that orders someone to kill someone else, and orders a hitman, and says, i was just speaking. i didn't actually do it. if the crime is committed through speech, you have no first-amendment defense. the gravity of this moment cannot be overstated here. this is not like anything we talked about on our program in our lifetime. this is as serious as it gets. >> i encourage every american, no matter what side you're on, to read it and make the assessment for yourself. what does it mean that donald trump is the sole defendant. there's six coconspirators and sorted through, rudy giuliani, john eastman. what does it mean that there's just one defendant listed here? >> i think jack smith was doing this for getting this trial on the road. he's looking at the clock in november '24 election. and the possibility that trump or some other republican might win and stop a trial that's not complete. and so, what he has done, is this is one person, donald trump. reading the indic
