Katyal on Ariz. Election Probe: Trump’s Given the ‘Same Status as Nixon’ with the Hope They Can Flip One of the People Indicted

SCARBOROUGH Neal some some ░░░░░░░░ yesterday coming out of ░░░░░░░░ about the fraudulent electors ░░░░░░░░ are your thoughts on ░░░░░░░░ case KATYAL Yeah so ░░░░░░░░ think the most important ░░░░░░░░ is who s not ░░░░░░░░ in Arizona a guy ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump The question ░░░░░░░░ why My thinking on ░░░░░░░░ he is named as ░░░░░░░░ unindicted co conspirator And ░░░░░░░░ is exactly what Richard ░░░░░░░░ was named in the ░░░░░░░░ case indeed right when ░░░░░░░░ case went to the ░░░░░░░░ Court and the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ has some footnotes acknowledging ░░░░░░░░ Nixon was an unindicted ░░░░░░░░ conspirator My guess is ░░░░░░░░ they are doing here ░░░░░░░░ giving Trump the same ░░░░░░░░ as Nixon with the ░░░░░░░░ that they can flip ░░░░░░░░ of the people they ░░░░░░░░ yesterday Mark Meadows or ░░░░░░░░ know one of the ░░░░░░░░ to give testimony against ░░░░░░░░ Trump And the reason ░░░░░░░░ that flipping is more ░░░░░░░░ in a state prosecution ░░░░░░░░ because Donald Trump cannot ░░░░░░░░ or dangle a pardon ░░░░░░░░ anyone in the state ░░░░░░░░ Our Constitution gives the ░░░░░░░░ power to the president ░░░░░░░░ only for federal crimes ░░░░░░░░ state ones So if ░░░░░░░░ re Mark Meadows right ░░░░░░░░ the only chance you ░░░░░░░░ to avoid jail time ░░░░░░░░ of trying to beat ░░░░░░░░ in court is to ░░░░░░░░ and strike a deal ░░░░░░░░ the prosecution And given ░░░░░░░░ weight of evidence against ░░░░░░░░ and some of the ░░░░░░░░ who re indicted yesterday ░░░░░░░░ can think slipping against ░░░░░░░░ is now a real ░░░░░░░░ strategy Donald Trump if ░░░░░░░░ is wins the presidency ░░░░░░░░ if he s convicted ░░░░░░░░ Arizona or Georgia he ░░░░░░░░ t have to go ░░░░░░░░ jail the Constitution forbids ░░░░░░░░ state jailing a federal ░░░░░░░░ but that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to his underlings Meadows ░░░░░░░░ everyone else and so ░░░░░░░░ know they got to ░░░░░░░░ a deal in order ░░░░░░░░ avoid jail time.”
