i do think that -- i want to go back to robert ray because robert, you're talking about how this is the prosecution's -- it's not the wish list, but it is the prosecution's argument here. it is their best argument for why they are charging donald trump, and again, multiple counts. 37 counts alone for donald trump. robert, as you're going through this, from your reading as a lawyer, as a former federal prosecutor, do you not read this as potentially very bad for donald trump, or do you see this dispassionately? >> i don't really know how to answer that. it's a prosecution. it's serious. if he's convicted -- >> and with some prosecutions different. >> if he's convicted, he can go to jail. okay? i have a security clearance. it's secret. it's not top secret. that's not a reflection on me. it's a reflection on the documents that i had to recently review in connection with is criminal case. i had to go in and out of a scif, a security compartmented information facility. it tends to be like a little room in a courthouse. there are a lot of boxes of documents. there was a process in place with

robert ray called in to continue the investigation of the clintons. >> the nation's interests have beend therefore i decline prosecution. >> tonight we learn the makeup of trump's defense team. it's back to the clinton impeachment with former independent counsel ken starr and his successor robert ray. >> we have witnessed the endless procession of legal theories used to sustain this partisan impeachment. they're federal charges, they're serious, and a jury is going to decide the significance of this. >> robert ray is our special guest tonight. as we remind viewers, you have a lot of experience. appreciate you being here. >> nice to be with you as always. >> i feel very welcome. >> good to have you. my first questions are probably the easiest. you know where i'm going, but i'll ask. have you ever for a client or yourself knowingly defied a subpoena? >> well, you hope that you've never done that. inadvertently would still be a problem, and certainly not knowingly. my standard with regard to these things as a defense lawyer is, one, don't commit a crime. two, don't do anything that puts yo

joining us now, the former trump impeachment lawyer robert ray. r legal and political experts as well. robert, you, of course, previously represented trump during his first impeachment up on capitol hill. what do you expect the trump legal team's first move to be after this historic arraignment today? >> they will continue to attack the process and the prosecutor, i imagine, over the course of the next several weeks. as far as a legal strategy is concerned, in other words, not the political strategy but the legal strategy, i imagine that you will see a full compliment of pretrial motions. it would be expected in any case. but the former president has some unique defenses including the application of the presidential records act i think, in part, questions about constitutionality. and i think also there will be challenges to decisions that were previously made in the united states district court for the district of columbia relative to piercing the attorney/client privilege and obtaining statements from his then lawyers. i imagine that those stateme

joining me a former prosecutor of donald trump legal time, attorney robert ray. it's nice to have you here. what's your stance where things stand? >> the monday evening which was donald trump's lawyers going to the justice department is something that i'm familiar with which is the last clear chance to avoid indictment. meaning they're given an opportunity and audience to try to persuade the justice department not to proceed with charges. i think that's what happened on monday, the past experience is once you get to that stage, the great likelihood is their efforts were not be persuasive, but they're afforded that opportunity. >> what do you think of the evidence they've been able to see, we're not in the special counsel's office. but there has been a lot of public reporting about this and a lot of donald trump's own statements. what do you think that suggests about how exposed he is, not just prosecution, but conviction if it comes to that? >> well, who's to say. you have to know what the charges were. you have to know a little bit more about the government's ev

this is a case where jail time is in play. >> robert ray, you'll be back with us.o take a quick break. stay with us. the latest on what we know. the indictment of a former u.s. president. indictment of a former u president. how. so, we switched to verizon business internet. they have business grade internet, nationwide.

former federal prosecutor and member of donald trump's legal team during his first impeachment, robert ray, and former u.s. attorney and msnbc legal analyst, barbara mcquade. all right, so that last argument about clinton's sock drawer i think is perhaps the most interesting here, tom fitton, the head of judicial watch told reuters he went into the special counsel's grand jury, jack smith's grand jury in d.c. to explain why he thought under that ruling from amy berman jackson made it so that donald trump didn't do anything wrong, that he could declassify anything, he had the right to anything under that ruling from her. what do you think of that argument? is it likely one we're going to hear in donald trump's defense? >> you're not only going to get me down into the weeds, you're going to get me down into the sock drawer, apparently? >> we hear it a lot. it's worth going through it. i have heard this over and over again. >> it's difficult to sort out. i don't want to try to make something complicated that should be simple. but the presidential records act came in after watergate. there's a

and robert ray, who served as counsel to the former trump impeachment. i want to show a clip just posted on truth social. >> it's called election interference. they're trying to destroy a reputation so they can win an election. that's just as bad as doing any of the other things that have been done over the last number of years. i'm an innocent man. i did nothing wrong. i'm innocent. and we will prove that very, very soundly. and hopefully very quickly. >> i want to talk more about the possibility charges. elie honig, maggie haberman was reporting conspiracy to obstruct, false statements. >> a few important indicators in maggie's reporting she just gave us on air. first of all, maggie report there is a document retention charge. this is not all obstruction. there had been some question is this only going to be an obstruction case? no. according to maggie's reporting there is a document retention charges and secondly an obstruction angle. so it's not all about obstruction. it's documents and obstruction. maggie also reported she just told us that none of

live now to robert ray, a former federal prosecutor who served as the independent counsel investigating 2020 impeachment. robert, good evening to you. first up, i want to get your thoughts on this indictment from what we know so far. 0bviously from what we know so far. obviously it's serious and it's a federal case. it looks and appears to me that the former president intends to participate in the process, which is to say that he will appear voluntarily in court, in appear voluntarily in court, in a federal courtroom, in miami on tuesday next week to face the charges. but — and it's interesting that the case is being brought in florida. my guess is that it will be ultimately before a jury, if it ever gets to trial, that it's comprised of where he lives — palm beach county in florida, obviously a more favourable jurisdiction to him as far as a jury jurisdiction to him as far as a jury pool than would otherwise have been the case if the matter had been brought in the district of columbia. and then as far as the charges themselves are concerned, it's a little hard to talk about them in a v

robert ray fox, weather. all righty. taking a look at our weather around here.ot some clouds, some fog, a little bit of wind, too. if you look at it on the estuary, you see the wind streaks. it looks a lot like yesterday and the day before that. this is how tomorrow is going to look about this same time, some sunshine, some clouds and temperatures like these. it was a little warmer today than yesterday. tomorrow will be a little warmer than today. and that's the trend. but it's incremental increases in temperature. it's not a big jump for from 78 to today in antioch. tomorrow, antioch goes 80 degrees. so there's two degrees there. so the plan is for this low pressure, the one to the north of us. now is kind of sticking around in that lingers and that keeps things a little bit cooler around here. the high which is the pacific high, which is the dominant weather feature in the summer months, is trying to establish itself. but it doesn't really do a very good job. it will get a little foothold on friday, saturday, where it warms up by then, a low comes right back i

. >> robert ray? a former whitewater independent counsel, what do you make of what we've heard thus far? >> i think the venue was probably one that the department of justice felt that they were -- that could only have been brought in the southern district of florida. so i think that sort of the first significant thing. >> what widow -- is what would that be? >> probably the obstruction. things that happen to mar-a-lago, that only could've happened in mar-a-lago, but they are charging those things that happened in mar-a-lago. and if that's the group of men gravimen -- of a particular charge -- court appearance scheduled in miami, i think for administrative reasons, you could expect this case if it is centered around mar-a-lago, to be one that would draw from a palm beach county jury pool, and a judge assigned to that particular -- >> why is that? >> because, again, that's where the alleged crime is alleged to have taken place. and you would expect, they are, for the case under the constitution, that th

themselves which is generally a sacrosanct right which is private discussions with your own counsel, robert ray put it on air this week, plenty of folks ask their lawyers these kind of questions. and whether you get to what happened which will be litigated here, did he then go forward and dot bad thing? there's evidence he did. but before you get to that, in fairness to any evidence, the fact that they ask their lawyer, can i, mr. ray argued, isn't very damning or probative, he argued. and shouldn't be allowed in the first place. in all fairness, what you do say to that argument? >> yeah, i mean, there are lots of candid conversations with all sorts of hypothetical scenarios discussed between lawyers and clients. some of them might sound nefarious to sort of the outside person. but that's why there was litigation on the crime fraud exception. and there had to be a showing made to chief judge howell in westerly court in d.c. that donald trump was using it in furtherance of activity. she determined that she was and guys like evan corcoran were having to go and say we're deeply and sharply incrimi
