Speaker 1: major breaking news. This this is this is absolutely huge. The prosecutor,
who resigned recently from the Trump criminal probe now says that Trump is guilty of numerous
felonies beyond a reasonable doubt. This is not a I'm going to pat myself on the back story,
but it sort of is in the sense that when we learned that these prosecutors resigned from
the Trump probe, right wingers everywhere were saying they resigned because they realized it
was a witch hunt. And at the time, I said, there's no evidence of that. And if we want to speculate,
it seems more plausible to me that the prosecutors investigating Trump resigned because they realized
there's not actually any willingness to charge the guy. And they found wrongdoing. That is exactly
what one of the prosecutors now says. This story cannot be cannot be understated in its importance.
Former Manhattan prosecutor believed Trump was guilty of numerous felonies.
One of the prosecutors, who had been leading the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation
into former President Trump and the Trump Organization, said in his resignation letter that
he believed Trump was quote guilty of numerous felony violations, per the New York Times.
His financial statements were false, and he has a long history of fabricating information
relating to his personal finances, lying about his assets to banks, the national media,
counterparties and many others, including the American people. This is Mark Pomerantz who wrote
this in his resignation letter. The team that has been investigating Trump harbors no doubt about
whether he committed crimes. He did. I and others have advised you that we have evidence sufficient
to establish Trump's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. And we believe that the prosecution
would prevail if charges were brought. And the matter were tried to an impartial jury. No case is
perfect. Whatever the risks of bringing the case may be, I am convinced that a failure to prosecute
will pose much greater risks in terms of public confidence in the Fair Administration of Justice.
This is one of the biggest stories around presidential wrongdoing and criminality in
decades in decades, and the right is ignoring it. Pomerantz also expressed his concerns that
not proceeding would doom future efforts at prosecuting Trump in related cases. Guys,
I hate to be, I know it sounds like I'm patting myself on the back, but. They were just so wrong.
And my speculation turned out to be not just pointing in the right direction. It is exactly
what Pomeranz is saying took place. This is exactly what he says is going on. We suspected
there is serious hesitation from days to be the first to prosecute a former president.
My prediction was if one prosecution went forward, then a whole bunch of others would. But
who wants to be the first because admittedly this is politically unstable ground?
And it is historically unstable ground, and it's a big deal to charge a former president, I get that.
But my sense was that these investigators were resigning, not because there was no evidence
and they were being forced to put together a case against Trump. But my instinct was they're
resigning because they're they're realizing their work is going to be put in the toilet
and flushed 10 to 15 times, as Donald Trump likes to say. They were finding wrongdoing.
And these are extraordinarily strong words guilt beyond a reasonable doubt that we
would be able to clearly establish in front of a jury of the commission of multiple felonies.
When did we last hear prosecutor speak that way about the actions of a sitting or former
sitting president? It is arguably unprecedented, and they realize my boss isn't going to charge
Trump. He's not going to do it. So what the hell am I doing here doing this work?
What we do know is they are hesitant about charging Trump and that I understand that,
but we now know the real reason why they resigned. And it is exactly exactly
what I suspected was going on. If there is a miscarriage of justice here. It's that Trump
has not been charged. I want to hear from you. Find me on Twitter at David Pakman. Let me know
