let's bring in cnn legal analyst joey jackson now. you. >> good morning. >> also in that tweet from the senate minority leader leader, he says that this is unprecedented and he says that this is, you know, trying to potentially hide something. so from your perspective, is this unprecedented? and does the white house, does the justice department have a legitimate claim for privilege over these documents? >> well, in answer to that question, victor, there is really two ways to answer it. one is politically and the other is legally. from a political perspective, let's start there first. we, right? deserve transparency. who is we? the america people. the fact if someone is sitting or looking to be seated on the supreme court, that makes so many decisions, the last interview, you know, regarding abortion, that is a huge issue. so many other issues concerning immigrations and voting rights. you name it. that is supreme court that decides it. from a political imperative should not the american people through the questioning of the senate know

joey jackson is with us now. this was a late night court filing on friday.lk-back do to the government's case? >> reporter: good morning, christi. it's problematic. when the government charges you, particularly the fbi, it's a very credible entity. the fbi works in conjunction with the department of justice and they present allegations and those allegations are used not only to draft a criminal complainant but for your detention status. remember that she is detained without bail. and the judge relies in large measure when making decisions about the case on the factual allegations that are contained. and so now to have a walkback of she wasn't trading sex for any type of influence and we misunderstood a text message, what else did you misunderstand about this case? she is charged with significant crimes at the federal level with her work with the russian government, the conspiring with the russian government so it's a problem. and, you know, it makes one wonder with regard to the strength of the case what other errors might be in here. it's a huge disappointm

. >>> errol lewis, political commentator and anchor for spectrum news with us now, as well as joey jackson and criminal defense attorney. gentlemen, thank you for getting up so early for us. >> good morning. >> joey, i want to go to you first and read something from this cooperation agreement specifically. it seems so incredibly broad. this is what manafort signed -- your client shall testify fully, completely, and truthfully before any and all grand juries in the district of columbia and elsewhere, and at any and all trials of cases or other court proceedings in the district of columbia and elsewhere. it seems like there are no boundaries on this thing. can you compare this plea agreement, say, to others? is something withthismuch leeway standard? >> it says, and good morning to you. entering into a plea agreement, prosecutors want full and complete cooperation. the issue is not the language that you spelled out. the issue is who the language applies to. who are we speaking about? we're speaking about mr. manafort who held fast by the president, who was the chairperson of the president's

joey jackson, one person they don't want to hear from is mark judge.e ford is saying was there in the room at the time. and the judiciary committee republicans are saying theyen wont even have that person come in and testify and say what happened. or talk to the fbi and be forced to talk with the fbi under oath. what do you make of all that and what do you think of this reaction coming from lisa banks. it sounds like she's following your advice and saying, no thanks. >> first of all, i think it's a shame. and i think it's really just a despicable way to behave. if you're in search for the truth, would you not get witnesses who could talk to the issue of what that truth might be. as it relates to what ms. banks said, i agree with her. in the event you're acts in good faith, that you want to find out and unrecover the reality of the maerlt is, you have a proceeding, which lends itself to just that. you don't call in two witnesses, and to your question to mr. judge why would you not want to hear from that person whether they denied it or not. it's a diffe

josh rogin, joey jackson, walter shaub, always grateful to have you gentlemen with us. thank you. >> thank you. >>> former president barack obama is back on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections. coming up, his searing rebuke of the trump administration and his message to voters. >> as a fellow citizen, i am here to deliver a simple message, and that is that you need to vote because our democracy depends on it. >> listen, there are deadlines to register to vote in november elections that are coming up. well, voters in several states need to make sure they have the right i.d., of course, before they cast a ballot. there's a volunteer group helping citizens get the i.d.s they need so they can exercise their right. >>> tesla's visionary and ceo elon musk lights up. >> i mean, it's legal, right? >> totally legal. >> okay. >> how does that work? do people get upset at you if you do certain things? >> but his latest antics are raising questions about his well-being. this is your wake-up call. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, month after month,

joey jackson, cnn criminal and defense attorney is bus now.rve 30 years or he could serve nothing. what do you make of the fact he might serve no jail time? how plausible is it? >> it's certainly plausible. good morning to you, christi. but highly unlikely. when we talk about sentencing here, as you mentioned, it could be from probation to 30. let's just remind people how we got there. he was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent account and each count carrying ten years but more likely the judge will run any sentence concurrently. what that mean in english, although it could be 10, 10, 10, if the judge runs it consecutively that gets you to the 30 but the actual conviction stems from the same transaction and occurrence we call -- as it related to his abuse of andrew constand it's likely the judge will look at it probation to ten years and those are the parameters and the judge decide what within the 0 to 10 is appropriate and that is based on a number of things. based on victim impact statement from andrea constand. we certainly kn

. >> joining me to talk about this , errol lewis, joey jackson, criminal defense attorney, and kelly jane torrance deputy managing editor for "the weekly standard." welcome back, everyone. joey, let me start with you and a statement from senate judiciary where they say the supplemental fbi investigation or background investigation will be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee, must be completed no later than one week from today. now how do they get to the working definition of credible here? because there seems to be no overwhelming amount of corroborating evidence for any of the accusations. what's credible here, and what isn't? >> good morning, victor. what a difference a day makes needless to say. here's the point -- i think credible could be parsed. we could argue as to whether or not the other accusers are credible, they're not credible. at the end of the day you need an investigation that satisfies senator flake in addition to the swing votes that they need. i think the fbi certainly having heard, right, as we have heard about not only the fined doctor ford

it shows brett kavanaugh back in 2015 getting back to what joey jackson was saying about what happenedgetown prep and what happened in the high school days of brett kavanaugh and here he is talking, video unearthed by the team in the last few minutes. >> fortunately we had a good saying that we've heard firm to dean reminded me before, before the talk which is what happens at georgetown prep stays at georgetown prep. that's been a good thing for all of us, i think. >> conclusive, you know, piece of video saying, you know, that he did anything but it is -- it does speak to this notion that perhaps, you know, there are portions of his childhood he would rather not come to light, i suppose. what about the possibility that we may have a hearing on monday without christine blasey ford? >> that's probably of an unfortunate joke and one to regret now. but i think it's important to realize that this is not criminal trial. this is the confirmation of a supreme court is a credible accusation. now, that doesn't mean it's a conclusive accusation. doesn't mean it's proof and people have to believe

but on a legal issue, joey jackson, he says he's not worried. should he be? >> why should he be?e son of the president of the united states. the guy who pardons people, not because of the department of ju justi justice says these are the worthy people, but, you know, sheriff joe, i like you. you're a good guy. you're with me on immigration, take a pardon. so as long as he is the son of the president of the united states, what is there to worry about? and the fact of the matter is, on the merits, he should be worried as it relates to the meeting that happened at trump tower, as it relates to his testimony before the senate judiciary committee in 2007. but so as long as, you know what, he's got the guy in the white house, he's otherwise good to go. and briefly this, jim. look at the narrative about it's the witch hunt. it's they're out to get me. that's the whole political narrative that this is unfair. and that's done for the populus out there to just go to show, there is no merritt to it. but there is a lot of merit. look at the actual facts of the investigation. >> a coordinated

joining me, errol louis, cnn political commentator and with spectrum news, joey jackson, cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney and tim neftali, historian and former director of the nixon presidential library. gentlemen, welcome back to each and every one. i want to start with you, errol, and this potential investigation by the department of justice. attorney general sessions said just 2 1/2 weeks ago that his department will not be influenced by political considerations. is this one or is this something else? >> well, until they change some of the facts or some of what has been released so far, i don't see any crime whatsoever. i mean, what statute has been broken? what crime has been committed? it's not pleasant. it's not fun. but if people feel like gossiping about what goes on inside of the white house, unless it's classified information, there is no crime. unless it's, say, military chain of command, so if there's somebody in there who is specifically forbidden under the uniform code that the military has to follow, maybe you could find something, but even then it's not the d

. >>> joining us now is julian zeleny and joey jackson.entlemen, welcome back to "new day sunday." julian, i'm going to start with you. there is now the acceptance of a date in time potentially. are we really any closer to seeing or understanding the specifics of what we will see or maybe will not see if it's private, on thursday? >> well, i think we are going to see testimony from two people. >> you think they both will be public? >> i think it will be. i think if there is no fbi investigation, if there is no other people testifying, and this is all we have, there is going to be a lot of pressure to have this in public. kavanaugh has been very clear on what he is going to say. and so this will be about hearing dr. ford and if this is not in public, i think it's going to be very hard to build support for what happens. i think there is going to be a lot of pressure to see what she has to say and to hear her account. >> joey, listen to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on friday and show you what a democratic senator tweeted out us. wat

. >>> a bureau chief of the chicago sun times is with us, lynn sweet and joey jackson.ynn, he went through a list of people know that have been contacted. what about michael avenatti, the attorney for swetnick. what do we know about the scope of people they are going to reach out to and if they don't reach out to people like this will it be seen as fair? >> if they don't reach out to all of the principal names that have been mentioned then the investigation would not have gone where i think senator flake thought it would be which is to check out the leads. the fbi doesn't look to clear or confirm these allegations, but to bring out information even if they could pinpoint that the party happened, if they have some evidence to show that it happened, if they have some evidence to show of the judge's drinking habits. that is all there. if they don't look at these other claims and because avenatti is vocal we will know about if they do or don't, it will lead to the public maybe to say this investigation wasn't as though. i think that is why trump realized that and he said th

. >> no guarantee, potentially, but joey jackson you're our legal expert in this case.aded guilty to eight felony counts, awaiting sentencing, wouldn't it make sense to go out of your way to cooperate with robert mueller, the attorney general for the southern district of new york, and maybe even the attorney general to maybe get a letter during the sentencing to the judge in new york saying he's been helpful to us and maybe help him a little bit in the leniency. >> if you want guarantees you buy a refrigerator, the federal government is not in the business of giving you a guarantee. to your point, he pled guilty to eight things. if i'm a defense attorney, i don't care, pull up a couch, he can spend all day, all night, sleep over with the special counsel but look at it right there. look at cross-examination, you pled guilty to tax evasion, wasn't the first time you lied, right? you didn't lie, two times, three times. you lied five different times. and you gave false statements. the president told you, you did a little finance campaign wrangling. so the issue with me is n

let's bring in now cnn political commentators keith boykin, tara setmayer, and cnn legal analyst joey jackson when the sentence was handed down. what was that like? >> it was a big moment, don, without question. i was in an overflow courtroom, and the judge went on for quite a while. the judge laid out his reasoning as to why it would hatch. the judge talked about the rehabilitation aspects. the judge talked about punishment and deterrence, spoke about the victims, specifically andrea constand and the victim impact statements, the gravity of the offense. it was just a buildup. it wasn't immediate. the judge took his time in speaking about why he was doing what he was doing and saying about cosby that he's not above the law. and the judge was required, as the judge said, to do what i need to do in order to protect the community. and so when the judge handed down the sentence, it was almost surreal, like, you know, as in disbelief that the judge said three to ten. and a lot of people thought that that would not happen. and in that room, don, quickly, there were a number of prior accusers there.

. >> let's get joey jackson in on this. >> wolf, the united states of america is an example to the world. right? we lead by example. we set example and we're looked at as an institution and a democracy upon which everyone else should follow. think about how sad of a day it is when you have the leader of that country, that does not have the trust and respect of the people around them who are of a similar party. now, forgetting about policy differences. this goes beyond that. this goes to the core of a fitness to serve in office. who you are. what you think. how you think. your level of just intelligence. your ability to grasp. and when you have people who don't -- are not confident about you and who you are, what does that say about us and what does it say about our standing in the world? if you look at the essence of what is talked about here, they're talking about how the country is succeeding not because of donald trump but in spite of donald trump. now, that in and of itself actually makes me feel like there are adults in the room and there are people who know that the reality is that
