Weissmann: Trump Appointed-Judge ‘Unfit’ To Serve

Mar 20, 2024
and Andrew, you may have heard me rehearsing my presentation to you, my law professor in this case with Alex Wagner at the beginning, so we're going to do this in an unusual way tonight. I'll present my argument here as it was and you qualify it and the audience will go with you on this, so I find this to be pretty pointless, this extends the whole process by a couple of weeks, which doesn't seem like a big deal, the whole process seems It doesn't seem like a big deal now that the classified documents are out of the process and part of the ongoing criminal investigation and I go back to the conversation you and I had here when I asked if Donald Trump could use the Fifth Amendment as an answer to Judge Deary's question about identifying what you think the FBI planted in your house. you said it might be possible to use the Fifth Amendment there, the more I think about it the more I think Judge Cannon may be right here to protect the future. criminal defendant Trump's rights in this case and it might be a cleaner case that way, especially if he ever ended up in an appellate court in a criminal appeal, you know?

Would you like the foundations of Donald Trump's right to a defense of Trump to have been in any way undermined by the special process of Master uh Professor, how am I doing? First, let me say that today was an interesting day because we had two women in Trumpland who were equally detached from the facts and the law. One was Ginny Thomas, who you've talked to Adam Schiff about uh and now we're talking about Eileen Cannon, so I give you an A on the first part of your answer, which is, does this really matter in terms of keeping our eyes on the prize, what is criminal investigation? and the really important Homeland Security review and I completely agree with you that it's really important that people don't see this as having any real effect on the margins but not on the core, so this is not something that The Department of Justice is going to go crazy because you are wrong when I said that Donald Trump could assert the Fifth Amendment in this civil proceeding, that is true, but its consequences in a civil proceeding if he asserts the Fifth Amendment, for example, we saw that when Leticia James, the attorney general of New York, brought a case in which Donald Trump asserted the Fifth Amendment can be used against him, so if he had done exactly what you had said in a criminal case and said You know what?

More Interesting Facts About,

I have no burden if the government's burden is to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt and you know I don't have to do anything that is totally right and he can assert the Fifth Amendment and it can't be used against him. Of course, if you want to claim that these were planted, there has to be some evidence that you would need even in a criminal case, but this is where, because this is a civil case, Judge Deary in the first hearing he held said that " "You can" Don't eat your cake and you still have it and what he was saying is that if you don't want to say anything, if you don't want to affirm anything about these documents, that's fine, but its consequences, but because the government has already made.

Put evidence of Prima fascia, that is, they have already proven what these documents are, so I don't need any more evidence and if you are not going to talk, then I will just decide on what is here. and then the final piece, which is just a matter of how vulgar Judge Canon is. I mean, this is the way a respected and much more experienced Article 3

judge

who was selected by her and Donald Trump as the special master who really is hers is being treated. Beyond The Pale um, I mean, it just shows that she is not fit to be sitting on the bench and we already know from circuit 11 that her decision was wrong on one hand and on the other, but now she has really shown that I really think. she simply does not show any normal signs of decency before a much more esteemed and experienced fellow article 3

judge

, no difference when she is doing exactly what she had said she should be doing, what do you think that will mean?

Judge Deary advances the case um, you know, I can guess what she might be thinking right now, which is that no good deed goes unpunished. I mean, this isn't something he was looking to do. I think I'm sure he did this out of a sense of duty and obligation. It's an unusual position for an esteemed senior Article 3 judge to do this for a junior Article 3 judge, but I think he probably felt it was something the nation was asking of him. that he did and that he should do it, but being treated like that I think is not going to affect him in the sense that I still believe that he will do his duty, but to say that he is unfortunate is an understatement, okay, before I tell you wow, we gotta get one more grid, uh, you.
He gave me an A for the part of the answer where he was right. I realized you were very polite to not give me a grade for the part where you said I was wrong, but the public needs a grade for that part too. Yeah, so I mean, why don't I just say a B overall grade? Oh boy. I want to, I want to take Professor Andrew Weissman's class at New York University School of Law. B, that would be fine for me. Andrew Wiseman, thank you very much for joining us tonight. I really appreciate it, thank you.
