Hello and welcome to another episode of prosecuting Donald Trump.

Well, you've heard a lot about the Trump town hall on CNN and the controversy about whether

it should have happened and the format and a lot of political analysis.

But we wanted to talk a bit about its relevance as a prosecutor and how Fanny Willis or Jack

Smith would be receiving that information based on our experience in similar situations

where we were investigating and or prosecuting public figures who either smartly or in

advisedly make public statements and then we're going to talk about something very dear to

our hearts which is the timeline, the clock, what to expect going forward and I know I've gotten

a ton of questions from friends, family, colleagues about that issue and I'm here with Mary McCord

who has told me she has gotten the exact same thing so we thought this would be a great topic.

So hi Mary. Hi Andrew and you're absolutely right seems like wherever I go that's the question

is there time to prosecute Donald Trump before the 2024 election?

Okay well let's get started then with our first topic and then we'll turn to it then we'll turn

to our clock to get that moving. So let's start with Donald Trump's public statements

last week and how as a prosecutor you might want to use those and before Mary I turn it over

to you I'm going to just tell a little war story because as you know as as former prosecutors there's

it's it endless war stories but this is oh my god it's so many years ago this is about N-RON

and that was the case there was very much in the news it was like the front page for a long time

and almost everybody and as it stressed the word almost everybody within N-RON

stayed quiet as a church mouse and sort of they all had very good lawyers and they were very quiet

and they sort of waited to see what was going to happen and what shoes were going to drop that's

totally the right thing to do at least legally if you weren't looking at the political situation.
