we have heard fani willis say, no one is above the law. we have heard many prosecutors and d. a. s see that, and if it's true than don trump should also be on an indictment. >> michael, to katie's point about donald trump and their legal team trying to get this whole thing thrown out, willis 's office has been very clear. basically, their explanation is, has effectively been -- you have had two years to try and raise your hand to stop this. you can't do it right now on the eve of potential indictment. do you think there is any concern in terms of his argument holding water with a judge? >> no. i mean, i really don't think there is much chance that it's going to be thrown down. i will tell you at this point. one of the main reasons is it's not even a ripe motion yet. we don't have an indictment yet. nobody has been charged. there's been some recommendation by a special purpose gtand jury and it's about his biting as a grocery list on a sticky note. it has no effect other than the fact that they heard on. it -- testimony -- i just don't see the motion being granted. the problem wil

this is all part of fulton county dea fani willis is much broader investigation into all the ways trump and his allies attempted to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. that includes his fake electors scheme. it includes the trump campaign's potential involvement in an unauthorized breach of election equipment, which took place in coffee county in georgia. and who could forget, it includes president trump pressuring georgia secretary of state to just find 11,780 votes. okay, so other than the $200,000 that appears to have been wasted of the georgia gop defending these fake electors. the other big number to know here, there were 16 fake electors total in georgia. the washington post reporting shows that eight of these electors were under deals. the new york times suggest nine. either way, that's all got to make the other electors a little nervous. specifically, the post points out that at least two of those other fickle actors, the ones without immunity deals. they appeared to remain targets in this investigation. one of whom, a man named david schaffer, is the chairman of the georgia

s, fani willis and alvin bragg. am i reading that right?ou're reading that exactly right. so, these are both local elected prosecutors. they, even under the old heyday, under attorney general barr, they would not have been within the confines of the department of justice. but these two prosecutors have shown themselves to be very independent minded, and they are following facts and writing it down. and, yeah, these were, both of them, i think your term brushback is exactly right. the a bragg's office told the judge and trump himself, you've got everything you have. you have millions of pages and there is very liberal discovery rules in new york. so, that is your answer. sift through the -- >> and -- >> only in your lawyer's office. you can't look at those millions of pages to discovery on your own. >> yeah. that's unusual, but under the circumstances, the judge found here that that was warranted. so he will have to abide by set of rules that don't apply to most people, but do uniquely apply in this situation because of his tendency to flout

do you think fani willis has her eyes on john eastman?. we have the blueprint. as you just described. we have the audio tape of donald trump asking them to find the votes. there are -- there is a mountain of evidence, the question now is what is the legal theory and what are they going to pursue. and katie mentioned something that i find intriguing and i've heard this before, i was talking to some legal experts at law fair yesterday on my podcast and they suggested that fani willis may be looking at using the rico statutes to pursue this case. it was created to go after organize crimes and mobsters. but if she is pursuing that kind of a sweeping theory of the case, trying to tie together the conspiracy, then we're talking about real legal problems not just for donald trump but for all of the people in trump world that you have been mentioned. so i'm really interested to find out exactly, you know, how sweeping that net might be and whether or not rico is a possibility. and i know it is kind of a leap. but yesterday the seditious conspirac

what do you expect attorney willis to do?re was the starkest evidence of criminality of your scrub in these events and actors? >> yeah, you can't understand what happened in georgia without looking at the national trump campaign and its advisers. this go all the way to the former president and his legal advisers. it goes to officials who worked on the trump campaign in washington, what they were doing in georgia, generating these fake electors, putting pressure on the secretary of state and state legislators, it was orchestrated in washington. so nicolle, this is a washington case, even though it ultimately will be charged in georgia. >> so tim, that brings me -- i mean, mark meadows travels to georgia. not clear why, but we know he had his hands all over it. lindsey graham is on the phone, he doesn't represent anyone in georgia. you've got eastman in the state, twisting arms in legislature. you have rudy on the phone, telling them what to do. and you have trump telling the secretary of state to "see if he can find him 11,780

willis mr.chaffer is key. he's been singled out by the judge overseeing this case for the unique role he played on the day those fake electors met. and when fani willis offered immunity to a group of fake electors in exchange for collaboration, mr. schaffer was reportedly not included in that group. faced with this reality, schaffer's legal team sent a letter to d.a. willis, a letter trying to ward off an indictment against mr. shafer. the lawyer's argument was that everything mr. shafer did was based on legal advice provided by trump lawyers. quote, every action by mr. shafer as a presidential elector nominee or contingent elector -- that's what they're calling the fake electors, contingent electors. every action was specifically undertaken in conformity with and reliance upon and repeated detailed advice of legal counsel. in it mr. kaufman tells david shafer it is imperative mr. shafer carry out that fake elector meeting. quote, david, i'm reconfirming the importance and our collective advice
