pandora's box, floodgates.f the terms used to argue the implications of what it would mean if you had absolute presidential immunity. >> to authorize the prosecution of a president for his official acts would open up pandora's box, from which this nation may never recover. the notion that we're all gonna see a floodgate, i think the careful investigations in the clinton era didn't result in any charges, the fact that this investigation did. doesn't reflect that we are going to see a sea change of and did vindictive-for-tat, prosecutions in the future is reflects the fundamentally unprecedented nature of the criminal charges here. >> so the real question could this cage unleash political prosecution, persecution as john mara argues when it comes to donald trump. we will talk to congressman glenn ivey, a democrat out of maryland. he's a member of the house judiciary committee. he also served as counsel to senator paul, in the whitewater investigations as well. always glad to have you here. i hate to exhaust this

that's trump's attorney general. >> the last is this pandora's box floodgates concern. that's a legitimate point. where would this end? the response from doj which was quite effective is there are safeguards in place. this isn't as simple as president doesn't like someone, boom, they're indicted. there are prosecutors who have a duty to only indict when they have evidence. you have grand juries, you have then a trial, trial juries of course review for proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and finally, a court of appeals. so it's a fair argument. i get where they're going with it. you have to be concerns, will this open up a new chapter we don't like. >> i will say, there were moments when john laura was speaking about needing to have political process, not persecution. trump largely echoed his speech over the weekend in response to president biden talking about a threat to democracy. he obviously takes great offense to this discussion. but there was a moment when lauro said, look, every four years, we could potentially be seeing a recrimination of a political opponent. the c

that's the pandora's box, and trump is showing us exactly what's in it. he talks all the time about what he's going to do. >> we'll talk more about that, what trump says he will do if the pandora's box is open. what was so interesting too in this court proceeding today was them talking about the impeachment proceedings that played out in the capitol. remember, donald trump was acquitted after he was impeached by the house, and large part, a lot of the senators said that if there is something that donald trump did to break the law, the courts and the legal system would take shape, would deal with it outside of the political process. that back and forth played out in court today. >> he was president at the time in his position was that no former office older is immune. and in fact, the argument was there's no need to vote for impeachment because we have this backstop which is criminal prosecution, and it seems that many senators relied on that. voting to acquit. >> relies on speculation. the statement -- i mean the court, i think, lacks the ability to intui

as we said it's the opening of a pandora's box. that's a very sad thing that's happened with this whole situation. when they talk about threat to democracy, that's your real threat to democracy. i feel that as a president you have to have immunity. very simple. if you don't, as an example of this case were lost under immunity, and i did nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong, i'm working for the country, and i worked on very -- very hard on voter fraud because we have to have free elections. strong voters, free elections. those two things almost above all. we found tremendous voter fraud. all the stuff. we have findings if you want, we have had tremendous voter fraud determinative. we worked on that. that's what i was doing. and they were talking about after. nothing has to do with after i left. it was during the time, that was what they focused on today during the appeal. they concede that. and everybody concedes that. if it's during the time you have absolute immunity. we'll see how it works out. we have a great argument. we hav

but it's a question of pandora's box being opened by this ruling.'t have to get into how trump himself is threatening retribution, threatening that biden can be indicted if he speck in the oval office. but this is a legitimate point, as the judges themselves raised, how to write this opinion without open the floodgates here? >> first of all, as a lawyer for the special counsel's office said that this doesn't happen very often. in 200 plus years. it's not going to happen very often. it's a highly unusual extreme set of facts involving in my opinion a very disturbed individual named donald trump and is just not something you're going to see. former president being prosecuted. in the notion that somehow he, this man who was begging his former attorney general bill barr to prosecute his political opponents should somehow then get a pass from his own criminal conduct, trump's own criminal conduct by arguing that somebody might do what he wanted to do but failed to do is just a little bit too much to bear. >> it is a lot for these judges to have before th

— that argument, that they open pandora's box? iran is so when president _ pandora's box? _ pandora's box? iran is so when president biden looks - pandora's box? iran is so when president biden looks at - pandora's box? iran is so when president biden looks at the i president biden looks at the options, there is hardly any more sanctions to impose on iran —— so sanctioned now. even the foreign policy chief for europe two years ago, he told me, there's nothing else we have imposed. they are the master of manoeuvring... manoeuvring its way around sanctions, so much so that after russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine, when more sanctions were slapped on russia, it was said russia went to iran and said, hey, show us how to do this. sanctions are a very strong tool, but they are also a very weak tool, so iran has found ways around it. and yet the uk has imposed more sanctions today.— sanctions today. they have, yes. this was not _ sanctions today. they have, yes. this was not good _ sanctions today. they have, yes. this was not good happened, - sanctions today. they have, yes

it's the opening of a pandora's box. >> you just used the word bedlam. will you tell your supporters now no matter what no violence? >> i'm joined now by three sharp legal minds, each bringing their own unique perspective to today's proceedings. george conway, elliot williams, john dean. elliot, just to start things off, i think a question here is how expansively the judges could rule here and really what this could mean. and also how soon we could know, it seemed where they were leaning today but how soon we could know what their decision is. >> i think we could know relatively soon in legal terms. now, again, that's not news cycle terms. we may not hear tomorrow. but certainly within days if not weeks. something that people should know is that these judges have been preparing for this argument for weeks, perhaps even months. they would have had hundreds of pages of briefing from the attorneys. so they kind of might have had a sense going in as to where they were going to rule, and really just sort of refining and figuring out what their opinion's going

look, well, in fact, this is pandora 's box, if one can do it, then everyone can too, you understand, possible to secure, only if we cut back or let's say, stop such types of blockades and protests as soon as possible, we are already entering the third month of the blockade, already everyone understood that this is an effective tool both inside the country. let's say so, to demand additional rights, and outwardly, therefore, on alas, we have already opened this pandora's box, both the poles and the ukrainians, then we will already see what german farmers announced yesterday about blocking the roads, it's good that it's not on the ukrainian border, since we don't have a border with the germans, inside the country, in the middle germany, that's why in fact this pandora's box is open and we will see only... such a snow effect, i think that the sooner both authorities, ukrainian and polish , stop this protest and blocking of borders, the less everyone else will have, let's say, the desire to do it, well actually it's a lot a dangerous situation from the point of view of both poland and uk

but, very, but, pandora, thank you very, very much as pandora for those , very much as pandora for thoser just uh, royal commentator just whizzing you through a whole host different royal stories host of different royal stories there. coming up, what is it like to live under a labour government now? the reason i ask all this is because keir all of this is because keir starmer has been dropping some serious recently. serious hints recently. right? we've and we've had him rowing back and doing u—turns, more doing so many u—turns, more u—turns boy racer . the u—turns than a boy racer. the latest we've had is on latest one that we've had is on the environment also the environment yet again. also as about his alleged as well about his alleged support, which apparently never was for jeremy corbyn. so support, which apparently never was forjeremy corbyn. so i'm was for jeremy corbyn. so i'm going to be asking what is it actually like to live under a labour government? should we sue our government though and our government though police and intelligence they intelligence forces? if they fail to

it's the opening of a pandora's box. it's a very sad thing that has happened with this whole situation. when they talk about a threat to democracy, that's your real -- that's your real threat to democracy. i feel that as a president, you have to have immunity, real simple. if you don't, there's an example of this case where i did nothing wrong. absolutely nothing wrong. i'm working for the country. i worked very hard on voter fraud because we have to have free election, we have to have strong border and free election. those two things, almost above all. we found tremendous voter fraud. we have a list of it. we found tremendous voter fraud. determinative voter fraud. and they were talking about after, nothing has to do with after. it was during the time and that was what they were focused on today during the appeal. they can see that, everybody can see that. we have absolute immunity. we will see how it all works out. we have a great argument. i think it's probably a concession to have to talk about it. but they conceded

it is the opening of a pandora's box, and that is a very sad thing that has happened with this wholetion. when they talk about threat to democracy, that is the real threat to democracy. and i feel as a president, you have to have immunity, very simple. if you don't, there's an example of this case where i did nothing wrong. caitriona: let's get some more from our north america correspondent. >> for 75 minutes, lawyers for donald trump and the department of justice argued their case before the three judges of the d.c. appeals court. the case for donald trump is that presidents, he says, should have immunity from prosecution, otherwise it would open a pandora's box. that the country might not never recover from. the department of justice lawyers argued if there's going to be immunity that creates all sorts of strange anomalies, such as the potential for presidents to order the assassination of opponents. the judges asked lots of questions, perhaps with a slightly more skeptical tone towards donald trump. but we will have to see what they decide in the coming weeks and months. afterward

it is now in the hands of three judges, but could this case as trump's lawyer put it open pandora's box? >> a president has to have immunity. and the other thing is i did nothing wrong. >> and the two top figures in this case, special counsel jack smith and judge tanya chutkan have now both been victims of swatting. what does that mean for the safety of public officials as we head into a busy 2024? plus, the pentagon's investigation into secretary of to hide his hospitalization from even the white house as more lawmakers on capitol hill call for his resignation. i want to begin inside that d.c. courthouse where we heard a bit more than about an hour's worth of debate that could have massive implications for donald trump's future and that of the power of the presidency. at the heart of it, the former president's claim that he is immune from prosecution, tied to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. it is now in the hands of a three-judge panel. for the u.s. court of appeals who are up against the clock of an upcoming election and three other criminal court cases, the former presiden

box, you know, it's a very— pandora's box, you know, it's a very sad — pandora's box, you know, it'sh this whole situation. that was donald — with this whole situation. that was donald trump _ with this whole situation. t'ngt was donald trump speaking here in washington. he didn't have to come here to attend this court hearing. he chose to do that, and he did that because he has made his efforts to fight his various criminal indictments a very central part of his political campaign. that is a strategy that has been very successful thus far, and we are now waiting for the court to rule on this case, but whatever decision they come up with it is almost certainly to be appealed to the supreme court who will then have to make a definitive ruling on whether or not donald trump does have immunity from prosecution. and before we go we have an update for you on a story we've been following for the past few days, the head of boeing has said that his company must acknowledge its mistakes, after a number of its planes have been found to have loose parts. investigations began after the cabin pan

they said prosecuting a president would be like opening pandora's box.the law. after the hearing, mr trump again insisted he'd done nothing wrong and repeated widely discredited claims of voter fraud. i think it's very unfair- when an opponent, a political opponent is prosecuted by the doj, by biden's doj. _ so they're losing in every poll, - losing in almost every demographic. numbers came out today that i are really very mind—boggling, if you happen to be joe biden. and i think they feel i this is the way they're going to try and win. and that's not the way it goes, |it'll be bedlam in the country, | it's a very bad thing, - it's a very bad precedent — as we said, it's the opening i of a pandora's box, you know, it's a very... it's a very sad thing that's - happened with this whole situation. when they talk about a threat i to democracy — that's your real threat to democracy. i and i feel that as a president, you. have to have immunity, very simple. and if you don't, as an example — if this case were lost on immunity and i did nothing wrong, i absolute

as we have said, it is the opening of the pandora's box.about a threat to democracy, that is your real threat to democracy. ifeel that democracy, that is your real threat to democracy. i feel that as a president, you must have immunity. simple. if you don't, as an example of this case we have lost on immunity, i did nothing wrong, absolutely nothing, i was working for the country. i worked on voter fraud because we have to have free elections, strong voters, free elections, strong voters, free elections, those two things almost above all. and we found tremendous voter fraud. above all. and we found tremendous voterfraud. we have a list above all. and we found tremendous voter fraud. we have a list of it, we have some findings if you want it, the press doesn't love reporting it, the press doesn't love reporting it but we found tremendous voter fraud, but we worked on that, that is what i was doing. they were talking about after, well, nothing has today with after, it was during the time, and that is what they focused on today during the appe

let's talk about this idea of opening a pandora's box. trump's seem cited president bush, president obama, president biden, to say if you prosecute donald trump, if he's not immune, then you can prosecute any president for any actions they take for orders they give while in office. >> yes, if they're criminals. if they committed crimes. that's not the case. often in my opponents when i was a federal prosecutor, counsel on the other side talked about this pandora's box. sort of a signal that they didn't have the law on their side. the judges don't have to decide all those other cases. but the judges have to decide is the case in front of them. right? whether or not mr. trump has immunity for what he did. right? is it absolute? no, absolutely not. is it qualified? maybe under some farfetched scenario, there could be qualified immunity. there certainly is in a civil context, but the president allegedly did here according to the indictment was try and overturn a fair and free election. that is outside of his official duties as the president.

which this nation might never recover. >> it's the opening of a pandora's box. very sad thing that's happened with this whole situation. when they talk about a threat to democracy, that's your real threat to democracy. >> today, trump's lawyers talked a lot about their newest race and what he's not guilty of anything at all. and it's blanket immunity. and they took it to extremes about what it would allow a president to do. >> i asked you a yes or no question. could a price again who ordered seal team six to assassinate a political rival, who was not come paged, would he be subject to criminal prosecution? >> if he were impeached and convicted first -- >> so your answer is no. >> my answer is qualified, yes. >> but let's be real. as any of this even legal theory? do trump's lawyers really think the courts will buy an argument that he can shoot someone on fifth avenue as president and just get away with it? or is this an elaborate game of delay and distract? let's talk about all of this with tim parlatore, he's a former lawyer for trump who knows a little somethi

it is the opening of a pandora's box.is a very sad thing that has happened this situation. >> you can't have a country where every four years there is a cycle of political recrimination where one administration attacks the prior administration. >> we will get a judgment in due course, but both sides have the opportunity to appeal this to the supreme court. it does not have to take up the case, but it is something as momentous as this, so it just might. ♪ donald trump swaps the campaign trail for the courthouse. where does presidential immunity begin and end? we will look at the arguments heard in court and the implications of the pending decision. also tonight, postmasters were told only they had access to their post office i.t. systems. but was that strictly true? the union representing the postmasters say they not only believe they have access to the accounts, they can change them in real time. more problems for boeing. united and alaska say their mechanics found loose bolts in a number of their 737 max nines. the aircr

say it's an opening of pandora's box. >>> i'm innocent, and i intend to prove my innocence.and future members of the senate. >>> there's never been anything like what's happened. i'm innocent, man eminence in person. >>> the context, hear federal prosecutors menendez with the superseding and edmund, accusing him of taking bribes from qatar just last week. and thank you for watching news night. laura coates live starts next. >>> all right. what happened in donald trump's immunity hearing? it comes down to one word. i'll tell you what it is. tonight, on "laura coates live." today is worded, the day from webster's, is concede. believing something is through after first denying or resisting it. why is that the word of the day? the court of appeals heard a concession, see what i did there? from the lawyer from a forme

it is a bad thing, bad precedent, the opening of a pandora's box. it is a sad thing that has happened with this whole situation. when they talk about a threat to democracy, that is the real threat. i feel that as president you have to have immunity. simple. if you do not, there is an example of this case where i lost immunity and done nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong. i worked hard on phone fraud, because we have to have free elections, strong borders and free elections those two things almost above all. we have a list of it. we have had tremendous voter fraud. but we worked on that. we were talking about after, nothing has to do with after elections. it was during the time. that is what they were focused on today during the appeal. they can -- they can see that. everybody concedes that. we will see how it all works out. but we have a great argument. we have an argument where they conceded two major points. it is probably a concession. can ask the lawyers if you would like to talk about it. but they conceded two points that by normal standard

there was an exchange -- between hug judge henderson, raising this idea of the pandora's box, the idea that it would be opening the floodgates to future prosecutions of former presidents. james -- special counsel lawyer who had the arguments, respond to that, listen. >> this notion that we're all the sudden going to see a floodgate. i think the careful investigations in the clinton era, they did not result in any charges. the fact that this investigation did doesn't reflect that we are going to see a sea change of vindictive -for-tat prosecutions in the future. it reflects the fundamentally unprecedented nature of the criminal charges here. >> during that conversation, that back and forth, you saw trump taking very very furious notes. there are times when he was doing that during this proceeding. >> when it comes to the legal perspective, carrie, it seems like both sides are arguing that there is potentially a dangerous precedent that could be said if either side prevails. >> it's important because this case is not just about former president donald trump. this case is about the presid

i think the pandora's box of legalization has been opened. kennedy on that, next.daq up 88 points, it's modest but it's a rally. we see green. lou basenese brought stock picks with us. >> it's under the radar semiconductor play and the way to think is a baby arm holding and have same royalty revenue model and they could train royalty on every chip that gets made and it's -- they have a technology that's used to make chips more efficient and more powerful and can be used in any chip and nvidia's chips to intel's chips to apple's chips. it's a company that's on the brink of commercialization. stuart: very small, isn't it? >> it is a small cane and i focus on early inviters. >> it's small. >> small layers of oxygen. stuart: kennedy determined to get her two cents worth in. atomera, you like that. did you just turn around? it did. it just turned around. do you know that? >> i didn't watch it. it's a stock that semiconductor plays and look at it -- stuart: but we came on and it was down 1.7%. you recommend it and the thing is now up 1.7%. >> i would not recommend people

but as you well know, and the lady pandora, that's how that goes far minister was saying the in, in, in, in just simply exercising the or that had the down from the i c j. they will have to be a ceasefire in gaza. what are your thoughts on that? does that sound accurate to use? yes, they shouldn't be. i mean, when you look at it measures the court. this point with regards to how the military corporations should be or should not be conducted and so forth. is a clear indication that the only practical outcome is that they should be assessed file and they should be measures that are put in place to how to do money, teddy and $8.00, which civilian infrastructure and so forth. so indeed it is a going towards what we as all difficult to crested and then also you wouldn't be aware. the court also has a wider discretion in terms of the or does it can provide obviously as you well know, it was pretoria that put forward this case to the i c. j. um are you aware? is it, is it, don't you question have it, are you aware of any attempts to put any pressure on south african lawyers during o of this

let's head back to the hague now to the netherlands and the lady, pandora, speaking of south africa, let's listen and quickly as well as ensuring that the state of israel, which is currently add up to pi a and the administrator in palestine provides the necessary basic services that the residents of gaza and the west bank requires this case was very much about international bodies, ensuring that they exercise their responsibility to protect us or as global citizens. old member states of united nations have attached a signature to a range of instruments. but when the lines that threatened these instruments of, of brought to bed and somebody had to view that we could not stand idly by and continue to observe the killing of causes of palestinian citizens who had no room in the whole flax co postage taking and killing that was done by a month and therefore we pulled, it's important that we do reports and apply to the international court of justice. that the measures provided within the convention for the punishment and prevention of genocide brought to bear. and that to the state of isra

that is why this does not open up pandora's box.e special counsel lawyer specifically said this. they said this is not going to create a-for-tat vindictive streak against political rivals, because the recent charges are brought here is because it was unprecedented conduct. the allegation he was trying to subvert in the election. that is unprecedented, and it's why there are charges here. but they are not worried for charges being brought for everything. the easiest way to see it i think is what is part of your official job as president at what is outside of that? the special counsel argues that what trump is accused of doing is far outside his official duty. >> paula reid and bradley moss, thank you so much for the conversation. >>> so the last time that presidential immunity was under a microscope like this was during the nixon era. president nixon famously summed up his stance saying, quote, when the president does it, that means it's not illegal. trump's argument is similar. if the president does it, then it's an official act. >>

>> the supreme court has to rule on this soon, if it does not it will open a pandora's box. there needs to be clarity which is why i think we will get a expedited review and likely a ruling by super tuesday in early march. i do think trump will prevail in the supreme court challenge, not because he did not potentially commit insurrection by a technical definition, it is largely a jurisdictional issue. the ruling is going to be that state officials do not have the authority to disqualify trump and that comes from section 5 of the 14th amendment that says the u.s. congress has the power to enforce the provisions of this article. justices can also draw a conclusion that the 14th amendment was never meant to to be a accountability for impeachment. >> so you think he will be on the ballot, what will be the likely consequences of any u.s. state successfully kicking trump off the ballot with most of the gop rivals siding with the president and warning this would be a risky move for democracy? >> wanting to look out for is how state republican committees repositioned themselves in t

by the way, this is a very interesting topic, because it would seem that there is... then a pandora's box will open, because after this all non-proliferation treaties collapse, that is, it simply disappears, then nuclear weapons will either of our own production, or acquired, as we also know in the world, how the programs of a number of large asian countries were sponsored by completely different participants, yes, then everyone will have nuclear weapons, then it is quite obvious, well, imagine some argentina has nuclear weapons and they come there such a citizen who now... has come to the elections, after how many seconds will he use these nuclear weapons to solve his problem, by the way, with the british, that is, here even the count will go about times, or assume that the americans will strike at the houthis, and the houthis will say , yes, there is no problem at all and will use nuclear weapons, say, on israel or on american bases in the middle east, they will think about this and not for a single second, jihad is a nuclear weapon, that’s what inexpensive, yes, different powers, d

prosecution of a president for official actses would open a pandora's box from which this nation my never recover. >> harris: special counsel office urged the judges to deny trump's immune claims saying no president is above the law. >> what kind of world are we living in is if as i understand my friends onful other side here president orders seal team to assassinate political rival and resigns before impeachment, not a criminal act? >> harris: critical point there to me, dr. siegel, the president laying everything out for america and his own words. he is flanked by attorneys and all of that as only he does. >> dr. siegel: so articulate, but a president has to have immunity. nobody is contesting that. while he is president, he has immunity. does a former president have immunity? nixon fitsgerald protected nixon from civil action, but not necessarily against criminal action. on the other hand, trump coming out speaking is really good, this is playing out as circus, democrats are trying to push this process and right now with what is going on, it is not going to play out in the time t

it is a very bad precedent, as we have said with the opening of pandora's box. i feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. very simple. if you don't, that is an example . i did nothing wrong. i did absolutely nothing wrong. >> you can hear him insisting that he did absolutely nothing wrong. really pushing a notion that he is immune and that he thinks it can open up pandora's box in the future for others who may find themselves facing, prosecution after being present. >> warning that there would be bedlam. that is his word, bedlam, if he loses. moving the case along in a fast pace. how soon can the judge's role? >> we will only see a really the end of the month in the next week or so. when that happens, we will see movement of an in terms of the legal pyramid paid upwards and whoever loses is almost certainly going to ask the supreme court to review the case , open question as to whether they take it, but downwards is really important. we heard jack smith's team today urging court of appeals to issue the mandate. what that means is that jack smith's te

honest person who can be trusted, that’s exactly it. completely unacceptable, since this will open pandora'sar, which is quite obvious, but such ideas exist, some are even reflected in the media. we deliberately wrote that ukraine was approaching a situation where it would demand that western soldiers follow western weapons, we did not write, yes, you quoted everything correctly, we did not write that... we are approaching that a moment will come in ukraine when they will western troops are involved, so i see it the same way as herbrant, we would have to, we would be crazy if we did that, because then, then nato involvement, nato military involvement, would mean that in that right now this is a war between russia and nato, without a doubt. this is not, i don't think this needs to be explained, everyone understands this. you've touched on the debate in the mainstream media, which you feel is being conducted in a very risky and one-sided way. you, mr. couette, are, or at least in the past, were a popular, sought-after expert. i remember when you used to come. so i believe that we, although we

box, indeed a pandora's box, which... may now be opened on the territory of the united states of americad it’s clear that all these scandals, all these incriminating evidence that is now emerging with frankness, with details , and so on, they should distract the americans because the biden administration actually lost everything it could lose. it’s not for nothing that trump mentions afghanistan, he hasn’t named ukraine yet, he hasn’t named taiwan yet, he hasn’t named the middle east yet, but i think that he will do so in the future, so of course biden goes to the bank, breaking bad, brings , taking advantage of the fact that there is a presumption of guilt in the united states of america, when you are accused, and you must justify yourself, so that you do not participate in this, you were not there and did not stand at all, against trump, as far as i remember, excited. 91 different criminal cases have been filed with lawsuits filed and so far five, well, in total 91 are still brewing there and that these number of lawsuits department five department five yes i’m sorry yes 91 lawsuits an

"even my political opponents have spoken against these ludacris demands. she is the real public enemy. it's not coolio. you're in biggie trouble. there's no n.w.a. they'll convict me since i'm above the ja-rule of law. macklemore." now look here.

politicizing sports or any non-political context, told them at the time, you're opening a, you're opening pandora's box here, because if you uh, if you do this without any debate, without without any thought and afterthought, you're opening the door to politicizing all of sports, even in matters that perhaps your political side of the aisle is uncomfortable with, and this is where we are now, um, the ioc 'uefa, fifa, all of these sporting institutions, they are left with no choice but to suspend israel, as they did with russia and belarus, for the simple reason that, like i said, they've painted themselves into a corner, because if they don't, if they don't ban israel, they're essentially saying that all member countries of the olympic movement and the sporting family are not equal, and that some can act with with complete impunity. the ame armed forces say that they have targeted an american ship supporting the israel'. the naval forces of the emini forces and the rocket force, also the drone forces were able to launch a joint military operation with a big number of ballistic rockets and naval roc

there is the opening after pandora's box.hat is a very, a very sad thing that's happened with this whole situation. when they talk about threat to democracy, that's your real threat to democracy. larry: all right. greg gregg jarrett, first of all welcome back, happy new year. i just don't understand how you prosecute a former president for actions he took while he was president three years later. i have just never understood that. it has to me again, i'm not the lawyer, but i don't know how you get away with that, gregg jarrett. i just wonder, maybe immunity is not the best argument. maybe free speech is a better argument but what do you think? >> yeah. look the immunity argument is a hard one for trump to make simply because there is no precedent, larry, and based on the discourse today, i think sol is right, the three-judge panel appeared skeptical that a president has an absolute immunity for any criminal acts while in office. that doesn't mean that trump's argument is not a credible one because it is. he acted consistent
