Topics
Andrew Weissmann和Mary McCord讨论了特朗普团队试图通过声称无法获得公平审判来无限期推迟审判的策略,他们认为这是特朗普自己造成的。他们分析了法官马尚扩大禁言令的意义,认为此举旨在保护司法程序的完整性,而非仅仅保护其家人的安全。他们还讨论了特朗普试图通过声称审前宣传来推迟审判的策略,并指出法院已经明确表示,挑选陪审团的过程通常足以应对审前宣传。他们认为,特朗普的行为是一种试图拖延审判的策略,并对司法机构的公正性构成威胁。 两位主持人还讨论了多名律师因其在2020年大选相关事件中的行为而面临问责的情况,包括停职程序和制裁。他们特别关注了伊斯特曼和克拉克的案件,认为这些案件揭示了律师在试图颠覆选举结果中的作用,以及对司法机构的潜在破坏。他们指出,伊斯特曼的案件中,法官裁定其与特朗普合谋妨碍政府合法职能,这具有重要意义。他们还讨论了克拉克的案件,认为其作为司法部律师的行为更加严重,因为其违反了部门政策,试图向佐治亚州议员施压。他们认为,这些律师问责案件的重要性在于,它们体现了对律师职业道德的维护,以及对试图破坏民主进程行为的制衡。
