BRENNAN The Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ going to take on ░░░░░░░░ Colorado case where the ░░░░░░░░ was going to remove ░░░░░░░░ from the ballot citing ░░░░░░░░ and the 14th Amendment ░░░░░░░░ special counsel Jack Smith ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump with a ░░░░░░░░ of things Insurrection was ░░░░░░░░ one of them So ░░░░░░░░ that it doesn t ░░░░░░░░ that Justice Department standard ░░░░░░░░ you think the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ will ultimately disqualify Trump ░░░░░░░░ We ll see what ░░░░░░░░ in the courts If ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ select committee s work ░░░░░░░░ made a criminal referral ░░░░░░░░ respect to the part ░░░░░░░░ the 14th Amendment that ░░░░░░░░ about providing aid and ░░░░░░░░ to an insurrection I ░░░░░░░░ believe that Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ behavior rose to that ░░░░░░░░ I believe that he ░░░░░░░░ to be disqualified from ░░░░░░░░ office in the future ░░░░░░░░ s working its way ░░░░░░░░ the courts And in ░░░░░░░░ meantime and in any ░░░░░░░░ we have to be ░░░░░░░░ to ensure that we ░░░░░░░░ defeat him at the ░░░░░░░░ box which ultimately I ░░░░░░░░ we ll be able ░░░░░░░░ do BRENNAN The Supreme ░░░░░░░░ may ultimately hear it ░░░░░░░░ right now the D ░░░░░░░░ Circuit will be taking ░░░░░░░░ this question of presidential ░░░░░░░░ from criminal prosecution this ░░░░░░░░ Lindsey Graham was on ░░░░░░░░ program the senator last ░░░░░░░░ saying No one s ░░░░░░░░ from prosecution but presidents ░░░░░░░░ have immunity in order ░░░░░░░░ do their job And ░░░░░░░░ said Trump just gave ░░░░░░░░ fiery speech As a ░░░░░░░░ what do you make ░░░░░░░░ this and the broader ░░░░░░░░ that this would be ░░░░░░░░ presidential immunity Cheney Look ░░░░░░░░ think that there s ░░░░░░░░ s no basis for ░░░░░░░░ assertion that a president ░░░░░░░░ the United States is ░░░░░░░░ immune from criminal prosecution ░░░░░░░░ acts in office And ░░░░░░░░ suspect that that s ░░░░░░░░ court will hold I ░░░░░░░░ it s really important ░░░░░░░░ people as they re ░░░░░░░░ at all of this ░░░░░░░░ to recognize what Donald ░░░░░░░░ s trying to do ░░░░░░░░ s trying to suppress ░░░░░░░░ evidence He s trying ░░░░░░░░ delay his trial because ░░░░░░░░ doesn t want people ░░░░░░░░ see the witnesses who ░░░░░░░░ testify against him And ░░░░░░░░ just saw again this ░░░░░░░░ news reports that Dan ░░░░░░░░ Pat Cipollone testimony that ░░░░░░░░ have apparently given in ░░░░░░░░ of the grand jury ░░░░░░░░ once again confirms you ░░░░░░░░ what we were able ░░░░░░░░ discover in the select ░░░░░░░░ confirms that Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ not want to tell ░░░░░░░░ to go home did ░░░░░░░░ want to tell the ░░░░░░░░ to leave the Capitol ░░░░░░░░ he watched the attack ░░░░░░░░ television And Trump knows ░░░░░░░░ the witnesses in his ░░░░░░░░ are not his political ░░░░░░░░ He knows that they ░░░░░░░░ going to be the ░░░░░░░░ who are closest to ░░░░░░░░ the people that he ░░░░░░░░ And he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ the American people to ░░░░░░░░ that evidence before they ░░░░░░░░ They have a right ░░░░░░░░ see that evidence before ░░░░░░░░ vote And so I ░░░░░░░░ it s very important ░░░░░░░░ not be able to ░░░░░░░░ his trial BRENNAN Very ░░░░░░░░ what do you think ░░░░░░░░ the fact that Secretary ░░░░░░░░ has been hospitalized since ░░░░░░░░ 1st and didn t ░░░░░░░░ the White House until ░░░░░░░░ later Cheney I think ░░░░░░░░ ve got some very ░░░░░░░░ explaining to do I ░░░░░░░░ that there s a ░░░░░░░░ s a real difference ░░░░░░░░ public transparency and you ░░░░░░░░ alerting the commander in ░░░░░░░░ to the fact that ░░░░░░░░ secretary of defense is ░░░░░░░░ the hospital Apparently the ░░░░░░░░ secretary was on vacation ░░░░░░░░ Puerto Rico I think ░░░░░░░░ s it s inexplicable ░░░░░░░░ need to know more ░░░░░░░░ exactly what happened there ░░░░░░░░ that s not the ░░░░░░░░ the Pentagon ought to ░░░░░░░░ conducting business BRENNAN Still ░░░░░░░░ asking questions about it ░░░░░░░░ you.”
