Andrew Weissmann: 最高法院可能驳回川普的暂缓执行请求和认证请求,但少数大法官可能对此表示异议。这可能需要一些时间。如果最高法院要批准暂缓执行请求,本应更快做出决定。在Mar-a-Lago案中,川普提交了大量动议,试图驳回案件,这些动议旨在拖延诉讼进程,其中包括总统豁免权、总统记录法等抗辩,这些抗辩缺乏根据。川普关于特别检察官任命违宪的论点已被多次驳回。川普关于文件保密级别和储存的论点毫无道理。在纽约州刑事案中,曼哈顿地区检察官艾尔文·布拉格也提交了动议,包括要求部分禁言令,以阻止川普谈论证人、潜在陪审员和法庭工作人员,以及保护陪审员秘密的动议。布拉格的禁言令动议参考了哥伦比亚特区巡回法院在1月6日相关案件中的裁决,并考虑了保护潜在陪审员的因素。布拉格提交的其他动议旨在排除不相关证据和论点,避免陪审团偏见。在佐治亚州案件中,针对取消范妮·威利斯资格的动议正在进行中,涉及到她与另一位检察官的关系和财务问题。法院正在调查威利斯和韦德是否对其关系和财务往来情况作了虚假陈述。关于威利斯是否应该被取消资格的动议与佐治亚州的选举干预指控无关。如果威利斯和韦德对他们的关系和财务往来情况作了不实陈述,这将是一个严重的问题。 Mary McCord: 川普在Mar-a-Lago案中提出的驳回动议并非适用于所有指控。川普关于总统豁免权的论点仅适用于处理机密文件相关的指控。川普声称在任期间将机密文件指定为个人文件,以此为由主张豁免权,这荒谬可笑。其他法院不受哥伦比亚特区巡回法院关于总统豁免权的判决约束。川普关于总统记录法的动议试图驳回整个Mar-a-Lago案的指控,其论点极其牵强,试图利用总统记录法来推翻整个案件。川普的论点与比尔·巴尔试图驳回迈克尔·弗林案件的理由相似,都试图从调查授权的层面推翻案件。在纽约州案件中,布拉格的动议反映了他对审判安全和潜在干扰的担忧,旨在确保公平审判,而不是压制被告。

Shownotes Transcript

The nation continues to watch for a decision from the Supreme Court on both the Colorado ballot issue and Trump’s presidential immunity claim. In the meantime, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail the flurry of motions filed by Trump’s lawyers in the Florida classified documents case in an effort to have the case thrown out. This, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed his own motions, including asking for a partial gag to keep the former president from talking about witnesses, potential jurors and court staff. Plus: Andrew and Mary catch up on dual decisions from Judge Engoron and Judge Kaplan denying Trump a stay of judgement in his civil trials, meaning he’s got 30 days to pay, or the plaintiffs can start seizing assets.
