AHEAD AND EVEN LIBERAL MEDIA MEMBERS SAY THE RULING IS INCREDIBLY DAMAGING FOR HER. >> THEY HAVE SURVIVED BUT NOT WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THERE IS SOME REALLY STARK LANGUAGE IN THIS RULING. >> THE LACK OF JUDGMENT SHOWN HERE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. >> JUST FEELS LIKE THIS IS NOT
GOOD. >> John: ANDY McCARTHY, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY. SO, IT’S NOT THE VICTORY THAT TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM WAS LOOKING FOR, THEY WANTED HER REMOVED FROM THE CASE, BUT IN MANY WAYS, EVEN THOUGH SHE GETS TO STAY, WHILE NATHAN WADE HAS TO BE
BOOTED, THIS CASE WOULD SEEM TO BE TAINTED, ANDY. >> YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. I DIDN’T HAVE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS ON MY READING LIST THIS MORNING, JOHN, BUT WHEN THEY’RE SAYING THE ODOR OF MANDACITY AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU, THAT’S NOT A GOOD DAY, ESPECIALLY IF
YOU ARE THE PROSECUTOR ON THE CASE AND I THINK THIS IS A HUGE WIN FOR TRUMP, MAYBE MORE THAN HE REALIZES, BECAUSE SHE IS TAINTED, SHE’S LOST THE CONFIDENCE OF THE COURT, IT’S POSSIBLE THIS COULD BE APPEALED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN MORE
DELAY, AND I THINK IT UNDERSCORES WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY SINCE WE FIRST SAW THE SPRAWLING INDICTMENT, I DON’T THINK THEY ARE VERY CONFIDENT. >> John: MAY NOT BE THE END OF HER PROBLEMS, THE JUDGE WROTE OTHER FORUMS OR SOURCES OF
AUTHORITY SUCH AS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, GEORGIA STATE ETHICS COMMISSION, STATE BAR OF GEORGIA, FULTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OR THE VOTERS OF FULTON COUNTY MAY OFFER FEEDBACK ON ANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT LINGER FROM THIS CASE, I MEAN, A LOT OF THINGS COULD HAPPEN HERE,
INCLUDING A BIG INVESTIGATION BY THE SENATE IN GEORGIA, THE GOVERNOR COULD ALSO APPOINT A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, AS COULD THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE STATE. >> YEAH. I THINK THE JUDGE MAKES A COUPLE OF MISTAKES THERE, THOUGH. FIRST OF ALL, THE WORD THAT YOU HIGHLIGHTED THERE, LINGER, IS
THE ISSUE — YOU WERE TALKING BEFORE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE PERCEPTION OF CRIME. IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM, WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE PERCEPTION OF IMPROPRIETY. IF THERE ARE LINGERING QUESTIONS ABOUT HER, THE JUDGE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROCEEDING AND THAT’S WHY
YOU GET RID OF HER. HER CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN IT UNDERMINES THE LEGITIMACY OF THE TRIBUNAL AND IN THE LAUNDRY LIST OF POTENTIAL INVESTIGATIONS OF HER BY THESE DIFFERENT BODIES, HE LEFT OUT PROSECUTORS, AND YOU KNOW, THEY COULD BE THE SUBJECT OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS BY BOTH STATE
PROSECUTORS AND FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ON GROUNDS OF POTENTIAL FRAUD, POTENTIAL PERJURY. SHE’S GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS. >> John: YOU MENTIONED THE WORD TAINT. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BRINGING THAT UP IN CONNECTION WITH THE ALVIN BRAGG CASE ON THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT. THAT’S DELAYED FOR 30 DAYS.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAID ON SOCIAL, THE THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE AT THE MANHATTAN D.A. OFFICE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DOJ PUT IN CHARGE OF “GETTING TRUMP” ARE TRULY A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. WITHHELD THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS AND THE SHADY POMERRANZ ISSUE.
AND IT WILL MAKE FANI AND HER LOVER — AND POMERRANZ WAS TERMED TO GET A PROSECUTION OF TRUMP AND QUIT AFTER BRAGG INITIALLY REFUSED TO PROSECUTE TRUMP. HE THEN WROTE A BOOK ABOUT THE WHOLE THING, WHICH IS NOW OUT THERE FOR ALL TO SEE.
NOW, I HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK BUT I HAVE READ HIS LETTER OF RESIGNATION, PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORK CITY AND LETTER THAT JIM JORDAN SENT TO HIM DEMANDING HE APPEAR BEFORE CONGRESS, THE TRUMP CAMP SAYS HE UNFAIRLY DISPARAGED THE FORMER PRESIDENT
AND ALL SORTS OF EVIDENCE WHAT MIGHT BE MALFEASANCE IN THE PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. THE TAINT OF POLITICS AND PRESSURE IS ALL OVER SO MANY OF THESE CASES. >> YEAH, AND IT’S ACTUALLY WORSE THAN THAT, I THINK, JOHN, IF THAT’S POSSIBLE. BECAUSE THE CASE POMERANZ WANTED
TO BRING IS NOT THE HUSH MONEY STORMY DANIELS CASE, IT WAS THE BIG FRAUD CASE. AND WHEN BRAGG WOULD NOT BRING THAT AFTER THE FEDERAL PROSECUTORS WOULD NOT BRING IT AND CYRUS VANS, BRAGG’S PREDECESSOR WOULD NOT BRING IT, TISH JAMES TRIED IT AS A CIVIL
CASE AND GOT SUCH FROM ANTI-TRUMP PROGRESSIVES AND DEMOCRATS, TRUMP HAD THE DOG BREAKFAST OF A STORMY DANIELS CASE, INVOLVED SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED SEVEN YEARS AGO AS WE ARE SEEING THIS WEEK THEY COULD NOT GET THEIR DISCOVERY TOGETHER. BASICALLY DUMPED OVER 100,000
DOCUMENTS ON TRUMP, ON THE EVE OF TRIAL FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED SEVEN YEARS AGO THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MISDEMEANOR THAT HE’S TRYING TO CARVE INTO 34 FELONIES, BRAGG IS. SO, IT’S A MESS. >> John: THAT CASE WAS SUPPOSED TO START ON MARCH 25, IT’S BEEN
PUSHED BACK TO AT LEAST THE END OF APRIL. WE’LL WATCH ALL OF
