Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Buck Brief.

Our friend Josh Hammer with us now.

He is senior editor at large for Newsweek and host of the Josh Hammer program.

And Mr. Josh, let's start with this. The situation of lawfare as it pertains to Trump bring us up to

where you think this stands with the various prosecutions. Is any of this stuff going to win?

Because it feels like they're hinging all their presidential hopes, the Biden folks,

on getting a guilty verdict somewhere against Trump.

So I think yes and no buck.

I mean, part of it is I think they're just going to start carpet bombing the airwaves

with so many TV ads, so many newspaper ads, and internet ads. It's trying to fearmonger people and just saying, oh, he's a criminal. And they're going to try to peddle that message basically before he's even being convicted. So to an extent, I think, an actual conviction before November would just be the cherry on top for them. I'm not sure that their whole game plan necessarily depends on that, but they obviously want that conviction before November.

You know, unfortunately, like, Buck, the way the criminal prosecution works, these things take a long

time. I mean, look what's happening in Georgia just this week where you have this ridiculous

situation where Fannie Willis, the DA, has nominated her kind of sort of,

you know, illicit lover to be the special prosecutor. And now, you know, just today, it comes out

that a judge in Georgia is now ordering an investigation to this. So quirks like this come up.

You know, not every criminal prosecution has something where a prosecutor has tapped her illicit paramour to be

the special prosecutor. But over the course of a prosecution, the point is that things come up.
