You know, I typically don't like to argue with legal experts because I am not a legal
expert.
Right?
Lawyers, attorneys, counselors, judges, they, they know more about the legal system than
I do.
And I give them that and I fully admit that, but every now and then one of them says something
so incredibly irresponsible that I have to argue the point with them.
And recently that person was former white house counselor, norm Eisen, who I, I, I like,
I admire, I respect, but norm Eisen during a recent appearance on CNN said something
so incredibly, what's the word I'm looking for reckless that I have to call it out.
According to Eisen, he says that it's likely that Trump will be prosecuted because of particularly
strong evidence in Georgia.
He says, I think the evidence is particularly strong for a prosecution in the state of Georgia,
where the Atlanta da has convened a special grand jury.
Uh, he also said, and, and we have that tape, but Trump saying to Georgia's secretary of
state, Brad Berger also expected to be a witness in these hearings.
Secretary Berger just find 11,780 votes.
That of course we all know don't exist.
Now I, I, I will start by saying, you know, he didn't say Trump is going to be prosecuted.
He said, it's likely, he said, the evidence is strong.
Now he's right about the evidence being strong.
The problem is, and he knows this and I don't know if it was him omitting it or CNN not
allowing him to get to this because you know, it cuts out the juicy part or I guess undercuts
the juicy part is that the evidence is only strong depending on how you interpret it.
And I have talked about this by the way, folks from the beginning with that Berger phone
call, it's all about intent and Eisen knows this.
Okay.
And it also matters how Donald Trump meant it.
And unfortunately it was said in a way that a skilled defense lawyer could very easily
reconstru that to a jury saying, listen, he wasn't telling him to go find the votes.
He was saying, look, you're still counting.
So go find them they're out there.
You just gotta go find them.
That's an innocuous statement.
That's a legal statement to make, you know, like, Hey, I you're in the middle of this.
Come on guys.
Let's, let's pick it up.
Let's go find those votes.
We know they're there.
Come on team.
We can do it like a pep talk.
And I know to you, to me, that sounds silly.
It does sound absolutely ridiculous.
And there's no doubt in my mind that that's not how it happened.
But if a skilled defense attorney is able to go into court and make that argument convincingly
to a jury, which I don't think is that hard.
Then you got a real problem.
Then suddenly your entire prosecution falls apart in the state of Georgia,
Almost everything hinges on that phone call.
And if they're able to twist that and spin it in a way that the jury believes then that
particularly strong evidence has Eisen himself, uh, described, it goes away.
Now, if on the other hand, Donald Trump hires the same caliber of lawyers that he usually
hires.
They're not gonna be able to do that because luckily for all of us, and I think Eisen definitely
knows this Trump doesn't hire good lawyers.
So maybe that's why Eisen was a little bit more optimistic, right.
Because if you can't spend the phone call, then yeah, you're pretty much toast.
So maybe Eisen was counting on the fact that Donald Trump of course hires nothing but morons.
And that makes it far more likely yes.
That he will end up getting indicted in the state of Georgia.
