. >> and jack smith making it clear that the investigation is still ongoing. sarah 34 murray, thank you. so let's discuss all of this with our panel. when you look at what actually came out in the 45 pages, you worked on the january 6 committee, you know the narrative, it is still jarring to read it, but from a legal perspective, how strong is this case? >> it is very strong. and we talk about a speaking indictment which we discussed previously with the prior indictment, this lays out a narrative that is very descriptive, it explains who and what and where, in other words, what was said to certain people, vice president pence, he is somebody who is critical to this case. he is an incredible witness for the prosecution. so it is all pretty straightforward. it is not about whether something can be admitted in to evidence, there won't be as many legal hurdles to overcome. it is much more straightforward and i think that it is very strong. >> six co-conspirator, unindicted as far as we know why is that significant? >> it tells the narrative. we know the six people and v

sarah, if you look at what the special. you look at what the special counseljack smith said in a statemential. one could we see this go to trial? i speedy trial. one could we see this go to trial?— this go to trial? i would not exect this go to trial? i would not exoect to — this go to trial? i would not expect to see _ this go to trial? i would not expect to see this - this go to trial? i would not expect to see this trial - this go to trial? i would not. expect to see this trial happen any time soon. for lots of reasons. first of all, the president is now under indictment in three cases. that is an enormous amount of work for him and his legal teams, to process all of those cases, to respond to the cases and review the discovery. it is a huge, process for him. even putting aside the fact he is running for the presidency of the united states!— for the presidency of the united states! ~ . . , united states! what resources do the trump _ united states! what resources do the trump team _ united states! what resources do the trump team have - united states! what resources do the trump team ha

you think jack smith has more evidence not included we are going to see if this goes to trial? >> i'm sorry. >> just bringing sarahthat question. >> the one thing about this case is a little bit different from the standard case is we are seeing these expensive indictments. speaking indictments which happen but we are seeing the government's case set out in real detail in these indictments. that is -- we have this picture, this window into the government's case. there is certainly more to come. they have recounted in this indictment much of the western we have gleaned -- much of the evidence they have gleaned from the witnesses. i am sure what is set forth in the indictment is a small portion of what they would expect to present at any trial in this matter. >> i want to get your thoughts on that. we just cut you off. >> i was just going to say it is jampacked with a lot of information. we never put everything you have in the indictment. i think what jack smith did is a couple things. in an effort to be completely transparent and educational he painted out the whole story and it speaks to all the issues anticipates

. >> sarah, twitter was fined $350,000 because it delayed turning over the records to jack smith's team you make of that back and forth? >> yes, it is interesting. as we know, elon musk has said he would vote for a republican president. he seems to was recited in republicans in some cases. he has also brought democrats onto the platform to do twitter spaces, et cetera. you can imagine he might feel uncomfortable ringing twitter into an investigation against the former president. the one thing i want to know, this is a serious request for personal data. it is very different when a government is trying to her death -- request that you take down a post or hide or limit an accounts ability to author a post. asking for the private use the data of a direct message, that is a very different type of request and you can imagine my elon musk and the twitter team would proceed with caution there because being a part of that, one could potentially worry, it might politicize the platform even further. >> trump seems to be claiming this violated his first amendment rights. is there a legitimate argum
