0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Two amazing guests today, you know, for a change. |
0:11.1 | Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney from the Northern District of Alabama, appointed by Barack Obama. |
0:18.0 | Joyce, Vance, not related to Cy Vance, the Manhattan DA, who will no doubt be prosecuting Donald Trump on all matter of tax and financial misconduct. |
0:30.4 | I was so excited to have Joyce Vance on because she's a regular MSNBC contributor and always explains complex legal matters in a |
0:41.3 | manner that I find especially clear and precise and incisive. I am honored as well to have |
0:48.6 | Prit Barrara, the former U.S. attorney from the Southern District of New York, who was fired right at the top of the |
0:56.7 | Trump administration, like just about every other U.S. attorney around the country. But first order |

1:51.4 | And you can only imagine the myriad of other crimes that Trump may have committed within that jurisdiction. |
1:58.7 | He is, of course, innocent until proven guilty. Let's not forget |
2:02.3 | that. This is the United States of America. And Joyce and Preet and I discuss whether President |
2:10.5 | Trump can pardon himself and escape federal prosecution until maybe the Supreme Court finally says, look, I know you appointed |
2:20.8 | three of us, but the president cannot pardon himself. Preet is also the host of Stay Tuned, |
2:29.1 | his podcast about all matters of law, much in the last few years involving Donald Trump and his administration. |
2:37.1 | Presumably, that will change. |
