attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. and tonight, tonight we needed to former federal prosecutors because there was so much legal news. glenn kirschner is here as well. katie, i turn to you first. jack smith began this investigation in november. what does it tell us that trump is getting this letter nine months later? >> well, it tells us a couple of things, first of all that a tremendous amount of work did happen for jack smith walking the building. and we know this in part because of some of the witnesses that were coming in, speaking before the grand jury, some of them have come in before jack smith even got there. he's the kind of prosecutors who want to hear from the witnesses. he loves knowing what had happened before. he wants to get a sense of them. who wants to know what it would be like from their stand. he wants to know what they're weaknesses are, and he wants to know whether or not they truly help the government's case, and what kind of land mines there could be if the defense could put him on as a witness.

it was joyce. so if it's not just me speaking on the floor me or a proper attire, you have been reminded by joyce. i have watched where we weren't getting along with one another and the tensions were high and i was afraid to talk to some of my own members, but when joyce go walked up with that unbelievable smile and tell them they were doing something wrong, it was like she was the teacher and they were in the first grade, yes, miss joyce. you see, joyce has devoted her entire career to this institution, the people's house. in the early 1980's, she started working as a cook in the capitol cafeteria along side her mother betty and served as an elevator operator before taking a position with the security. she has given more than 35 years of her life to the house of representatives. this is why she cares so deeply about these chambers and works to ensure that everyone who walks through these doors treats this institution with the respect it deserves. joyce has had one of the most important responsibil

he's the most ethical american i know. >> is that a viable defense, joyce? >> well, talk is cheap when you're on television and you have the ability to say anything that you'd like to. that is a pretty fact-free analysis of the situation. the reality is that the government's's /* pleadings -- the evidence is clear when it comes to obstruction of justice. the facts are, in essence, not challenged, that the former president held on to documents, refused to turn them over. the government had to execute a search. and now more details are remerging about events depicted on video tape, showing movement and documents that surface in bedminster with trump saying ought loud that he was aware he no longer had the ability to declassify information and wasn't even sure he should be showing it to people in the meeting where he waves around the battle plan for iran. that's sort of a good luck with that sort of defense for her. great for trump in the court of public opinion. not very likely to succeed in a court of law. >> garrett was talking about how this could all confu

too optimistic we hear joyce. okay. well donald trump dominated today's headlines but there were other things going on in washington. including the irs whistleblower testimony. involving the hunter biden probe. watch this. >> joseph ziegler, who came forward publicly for the first time. and gary shapleigh pointing to the evidence they say they collected which they viewed as damning. a skeptical response they said they received from the prosecutors involved. >> i'm here to tell you that the u.s. attorney's office and department of justice handling the hunter biden tax investigation was very different from any other case in my 14 years at the irs. at every stage, decisions were made that benefited the subject of this investigation. >> but democrats on the panel were pushed back. >> lou, can you quickly just walk us through what this is all about? >> sure. republicans really believe that this is the best evidence they have against the biden family to date. which is these two irs whistleblowers who've come forward. saying t

joining me now, christy greenberg and joyce vance. christy, what is your reaction to this breaking news about jared kushner and his interview and performance before the grand jury? >> well, according to that reporting, apparently jared kushner said it was his impression that donald trump believed that he had in fact had the election stolen from him. it's not surprising that jared kushner would say that, and it's not surprising that the special counsel would be interviewing everybody close to him to determine both witnesses that are credible and witnesses, i suspect like jared kushner, that were not so credible. >> so, joyce, jared kushner may or may not be credible, but he certainly seems to be very important to special counsel jack smith. why is he such a lynch pin to this potential prosecution? >> well, he could be important on a number of issues, melissa. for one thing, he was very involved in fundraising after the loss in the election, and if there are some indictment claims brewing about fraud in that process, he could be a very

joyce, good morning. as we all, now a third defendant has now been added to the trump classified documents case. 56-year-old, carlos vela viera. this is described in the indictment as the mar-a-lago property manager. which of these new charges and this new codefendant mean for the trial timeline? >> so the trial timeline shouldn't be altered, but of course it may be. we can be almost certain that trump will try to because delay is his game. these new charges against trump, it's only one additional counts of document retention. these were counted in the original indictment. there is no rationale for a delight. the judge has set a time scheduled for trial that is including gracious, plenty of time for this new defense to get up to speed. he's charged and a few counts. they're straightforward, they don't involve classified material. in, you know, the real world of prosecution, there would not be a delay. here, we'll have to wait and see. >> joyce, just as a quick follow-up, does donald trump need to be rearr

all right, joyce, new topic.alk about mark meadows who i'm still dying to know what he currently does for a living, what his source of income is? but i want to share, you know, we showed that video over earlier, he is in d. c.. but what i want to talk about is what chris christie had to say about meadows and what he's up to. watch this. >> mark meadows looks to me like a federal witness under a cooperation agreement. and my guess is that what we're gonna find out he is. >> christie also noted the fact that meadows would not answer any questions, not one single one. he said, i don't talk anything about january 6th. what do you think? >> so, i think there are two possible reads here. one is the read that chris christie puts on it, that this is a cooperating witness who has been told to stay out of the public's eye. but the other possibility here is that he is still a potential target of one or more of the investigations involving january 6th, and that he is lying low for that reason, not making the mistakes that do

let's bring back, michelle goldberg, and joyce vance and thus the c legal analyst.e on new reporting about trump calling governor ducey, we know how much legal damage the phone call in georgia has already done, and what's happening there with fani willis. could this have the same legal impact in arizona, and if you were jack smith how would you be treating this revelation? >> right, i suspect that wall this is a revelation to us. it's not a revelation to jack smith. something we learned from the mar-a-lago indictment is that prosecutors tend to know a lot more than the general public does in large part due to their access to the grand jury and witness testimony. what we're learning about arizona i think is an surprising given what we know about georgia. one fact that has always stuck in my mind. is that the secretary of state in georgia took the extraordinary stab of taping his phone call with the president of the united states. and that suggests that he knew that there was some sort of pressure campaign going on. it's possible he could've learned that from colleagu

joyce vance is a former united states attorney for the district of alabama. she's now a professor at the university of alabama school of law. lisa rubin is an msnbc legal analyst. both join me now to talk about what this means and what comes. next good to see both of you. at least, at let's talk about what's next. this always happens in a very unusual way with donald trump. he posts something that says something is going to happen. shortly thereafter, something happens. he gets the letter. that is still not an indictment. and that is not a trial. it's not done. this is early steps. what do you expect to happen next? >> i expect his lawyers are going to seek a meeting with the special counsel's office and or senior officials at the department of justice. if they have not already. there's been no public reporting of that reporting. the last time around, we went through a federal indictment trump target letter and his lawyer sat down with jack smith and team, it wasn't until about two weeks later, plus, that we saw the indictment and the record's case. >> joyce,

i want to go around the horn, but joyce, let's start with you. these charges were not necessarily what we were expecting today. what sticks out to you as the most important? >> so i think two things stick out. first off is this 32nd count of document retention, because unlike the other retention charges, where documents were found in boxes in bar rooms and bathrooms, these are documents of the former president took out, cavalierly showed around in a room full of people, who didn't possess security clearances. what do the involved? the involved highly confidential military plans. so when prosecutors try to ask a jury to convict on the basis of this conduct, this 32nd count really drives home how serious trump's crimes were. and it's if to prove that, we have these two new obstruction counts. they put trump firmly in the middle of the action. he is doing the asking. can we get the surveillance videos destroyed? can we make sure they don't fall into doj's hands? so we now have the substance substantive apt followed by this obstruction of justice, th

joyce, i'll start with this. i like most of america was riveted last summer by the january 6th hearings. it was one of the most highest rated things on tv. it was amazing to see that kind of civic engagement from people across the united states. it is amazing to me that this william russell guy was not included in anything last year, but jack smith has found him. just from a legal standpoint, i mean, is he crossing a t and dotting an i we haven't seen before? is there something that jack smith might have gotten access to that the january 6th committee couldn't? i'm just curious as to what the significance of this is from a legal standpoint because i'm surprised this guy was overlooked? >> we don't bow for a fact he was overlooked. it's really a curious situation, but federal prosecutors have a power that others don't. they have the subpoena power. and that means that throughout this process, jack smith has been able to obtain testimony from people he wants to hear from and that the january 6th committee may not h

so joyce, it's absolutely right that she has a head start there. jack smith also is joining this other case at mar-a-lago that has some timing challenges of its own. so that is also were a lot of his focus must be. and in that one, you know we have this motion last night that trump made aboutde laying indefinitely and it is not reasonable to ask for indefinite delay and some of his reasons are not persuasive in the least. the truth is, the clock is on his side. you know i actually wondered why he did this because he could've said i want to vindicate myself and prove my innocence. and then just slowly whittle away at the timeline and push out that case past the point where doj cannot really pursue it because we are in the heat of the election season. and i think that might still happen even if judge cannon says no. i will not delay this inevitably. >> joyce, i think tali brings up the mar-a-lago request and the delay indefinitely on the part of trump's defense team. one of the things that i found particularly interesting in their argument was the id

joyce, walt nauta appears to still be allied with donald trump. do you think there is a point at which nauta may have to go it alone and a break from him? >> if this were a typical case, and you had a defendant whose lawyers were evaluating his prospects, you would look at the evidence, you would look at the severity of the charges, and you would feel confident that there would if not be a plea at least be serious claim negotiations. but that might be off the table. this could be another situation like the one with trump's longtime cfo allen weisselberg, who went to prison and stood by the former presidents side rather than cutting the sort of deal that could've saved him. we could we'll see nauta engage in that sort of behavior. >> both trump and nauta want to take this case to trial, but is that actually the best strategy here? >> so, again, it's a nuanced question. i suppose the question is, what outcome are you seeking? are you trying to go to prison for his little time as possible given the overwhelming evidence here? and that doesn't seem to

attorney and msnbc legal analyst, joyce vance. tom, how did this happen? >> reporter: well, it happened because what is normally a routine hearing and normally a routine plea agreement process, and prosecutors seeking more of a fast tracked opening, if you will, where a judge would sign off on the agreement, provided she was able to make sure the defendant in this case, hunter biden understood the terms of the agreement, understood the scope of the agreement, and understood his rights, and the rights he is waiving as a result of the agreement, and then should have typically moved on to a normal process. there are a couple of things that came up that the judge keyed in on that she said she had concerns about, and that's the reason why we got to where we are today, which is essentially both sides have got to confer, address the judge's concerns, and then presumably come back here again. but the deal as it exists is not in effect right now. the judge did not accept the plea agreement, nor did she reject it. she said, you've got to figure out some things. two

where is the line here, joyce? how far can trump go before he is actually breaking the law with these kinds of threats? >> so the line for prosecutors, and we talked about this a lot, is this notion that you have to be able to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt before you're going to indict something. that's an extremely high sort of a barrier here. you would have to be able to show that trump actually intended for people to attack prosecutors. and, of course, we go back to where he with started, the way he's couched these sort of vicious threats to my way of thinking as though they are warnings to people. well, my folks might get really riled up about this, so people should take care and not put me in prison or not put me in pre-trial custody. it's that sort of disingenuous approach that spares him technical, criminal liability, but we all know what's going on here. >> to that point, it's unlikely that anyone is going to be automobile to suss out actual criminal intent here, but what is happening is that the go

joyce vance serve as the district of alabama another professor at the university of alabama school of law. they both join me now. joyce, let me start with you, give us a, your action to the news about the targeting of another employee, how significant is that? >> it could be very significant if they are able to obtain this person's cooperation, but the reality is that jack smith already as a very strong evidence on obstruction of justice, and additional witness who can testify directly to what they did, why they did and who order they did, would be icing on the cake. not essential prosecutors never mind redundancy. this is something that signifies that the case has become stronger, but also that jack smith is deeply committed to making sure that anyone who engages in wrongdoing, whether it's perjury, obstruction or substantive crimes, that they are held accountable for it. >> christy, expecting that there is a tactical aspect to this operation, but also if you discover interest occasion that is in line the grandeur, that's a big deal in itself. that seems to be, from reading the targe

attorney and professor at the university of alabama school of law and msnbc legal analyst joyce vanced also democratic strategist and former chair of the new york state democratic party bassle smikle. and joyce, what do you make of what the former president had to say and what is normal if there is such a thing as normal in a case like this since there was a meeting between the lawyers and prosecutors? >> this just underscores what is happening where most of the information that we're getting is coming from trump's side of the equation. prosecutors don't talk about when they plan to indict a case. that is part of the secrecy of the grand jury process. and so the back and forth we're seeing is largely animated by a party, the former president, who may soon be a defendant who has a lot of self interests in what information he reveals. the way it works is that prosecutors aren't required to give defendants a head's up before they seek an indictment from a grand jury. the reasons for that are obvious. there are some cases where you don't want a defendant to know it is coming. they might b

they are getting it for free from the gop. >> wow, what do you think, joyce? >> well, i think frank is exactly right. when you see this kind of attack on a public servant like chris wray, and you think about who benefits? who benefits? that would be countries that are not our allies. people who do not want to see the american democratic institutions remain strong, people who don't have the best interests of this country at heart. and it is important to focus on stuff that you focused on at the beginning. director wray. he started his career at the justice department as a line prosecutor. in atlanta he worked his way up from literally that onboarding job that we all take in the justice department when we start out. he served as the head of the doj's criminal division in washington during a republican administration. like every fbi director since j edgar hoover's time he is a republican. a registered republican. so i think what we're seeing here is someone who did not take this job expecting that he would be pummeled from the right, not with legitimate oversight

so joyce is absolutely right that she has a head start there. jack smith is also running this other case in mar-a-lago that has some timing challenges of its own, and so that's all also where a lot of his focus must be. and in that one, you know, we have this motion last night trump made about delaying indefinitely, and it's not reasonable to ask for indefinite delay, and some of his reasons not persuasive in the least, but the truth is the clock is on his side. i actually wondered why he did this because he could have said i want to vindicate myself and improve my innocence and just slowly whittle away at the time line and push out that case past the point where the doj can't pursue it because we're in the heat of the election season, and i think that might happen as long as judge cannon says i'm not going to delay indefinitely. >> one of the things i found particularly interesting in their sort of argument was the idea rebutting the contention of the special counsel this is not a novel case. jack smith has said this thing can be handled expedi

i think joyce will agree with me here, i agree with her entirely, that donald trump's whole m.o.resident and while an ex-president has been delay, delay, delay. trying to push off discovery, trying to push off a decision about whether certain documents are covered by attorney/client privilege, trying to push off a subpoena seeking the testimony of his former vice president, every when way to sunday that donald trump can put off information being in the hands of prosecutors or put off information being presented by prosecutors to a jury, he has done so and will continue to do it, for whatever reason that you can conceive. but here's where i think there's something important to relay. there's no more important case right now than this one with regard to the stature and the prominence of the case, the seriousness of the case. mar-a-lago, the idea that a former president basically stuck national security information into his back pocket on the way out the door and refused to turn it over when given and served with a criminal investigaive subpoena. that is the premier case here, and i

joyce, i want to start with you. what do you think is the likelihood that donald trump is involved in these attempts to delay. the overall strategy for donald trump has been to delay as much as possible. >> right, so, you know. katie, it seems like it is a good bet. but i would not want to speculate too far here. the question really is though, who benefits from delay, and why did it take walt nauta to find three weeks to find local council, and why are we only just now seeing this motion to continue the hearing on friday that has been set for a couple weeks. i know you practiced in the southern district of florida, judges in my district wouldn't look very kindly on that when would've known as soon as it was scheduled that he had a conflict and could've advised the court of it back then. but ultimately these are these nickel and dime delays that trump could perhaps be motivating or maybe it is just nauta lawyers moving on their own. it pushes things back just a couple of days, but ultimately that gets into the crunch

and joyce, it's great to have you here.se against harvard legacy also saying that most of these legacy students if you will, or families, are white. >> right. so this is a great strategic move by the lawyers in boston who chose to file this action as a complaint with the department of education. there's a 2001 supreme court case that calls the private right of action or individuals like these groups of students to directly sue harvard and other universities under title six of the civil rights act but the department of education can bring that lawsuit unlike the supreme court case on affirmative action which was a charge of intentional discrimination, this complaint say there's disparate impact. in other words that when college use legacy status to make add miss decisions, it has a disparate impact on black and other minority students. so the department of education is the right entity to bring a lawsuit and this action by the lawyers teased that process up. >> joyce, the complaint states that, quote, nearly 70% of doe nar r
