Mary McCord: 本期节目讨论了特朗普即将在纽约面临的刑事审判，这是美国历史上对前总统的首次刑事起诉。该案指控特朗普在2016年总统大选中向成人电影女星Stormy Daniels支付封口费以干预选举。此外，节目还讨论了马拉拉戈案中法官Cannon的处理方式，以及即将在最高法院进行的关于总统豁免权的辩论。McCord认为，特朗普试图通过各种手段推迟或取消审判，包括提出关于陪审团选择的动议以及法官回避动议。她认为，检方应该积极应对这些策略，确保审判能够顺利进行。针对马拉拉戈案，McCord认为，法官Cannon对总统记录法案的处理方式存在问题，检方应该要求法官明确裁定该法案不适用，并准备好上诉。 Andrew Weissmann: Weissmann对特朗普案的法律和程序方面进行了深入分析。他详细介绍了特朗普的辩护律师团队和检方团队的成员，并对双方律师的经验和能力进行了评价。他指出，本案是美国历史上对前总统的首次刑事起诉，具有重要的历史意义。Weissmann还分析了案件中可能出现的证人，以及他们可能提供的证词。他特别关注了Michael Cohen的证词，以及如何处理其可信度问题。此外，Weissmann还讨论了案件中证据的重要性，特别是书面文件和电子邮件等证据。他认为，这些证据将成为案件的关键，并可能对最终判决产生重大影响。针对马拉拉戈案，Weissmann建议检方应该提出排除性动议，以阻止特朗普在审判中提出总统记录法案作为辩护，并准备好通过上诉或强制令来维护其权利。
