trump has often walked right up to the line of one law. trump observers have documented that. his former friends and allies and aides talked about that how he'll defy a subpoena and he'll demand people break laws for him and then deliberate lie to the government. to understand this trial, keep an eye on this fault line. we can have opening arguments as soon as next week the judge mentioned today, although they have to pick all the jurors. trump's lawyers might be fine conceding just things about business lies that only go to the misdemeanor or the missy misdemeanor, but they need to shut down anything that could pin down defendant trump on the second crime because then you have a felony. that's the reason michael cohen is so crucial. it's not just he has the receipts. we've heard about that. he's been on our air talking to hosts about that. it's because other evidence also shows not only that lie, but that cohen went to prison for a federal campaign crime, no doubt his indictment during the trump doj era had language matched to what i showed you bragg, the d.a. used, quote hid

vote biden and trump need. there's one group that loves the guy. there's a second group that votes for him but doesn't like his character or personality, but they have decided to stick by him on this. i think it's always possible they get temporarily moved by this behavior, but i look at this third group of voters. the double haters, the people that don't like either biden or trump. our political system. that's where this can have an impact and if they move one or two points, it's the equivalent of the base moving ten points. so i also think you know we're going to be only seeing small movement but if it's among that group of voters that are the deciders, it's pretty significant. >> how surprised are you this is where we are at? when you look at the long history of this country and we're experiencing something so unprecedented. what kind of new standard, if anything, is this setting for future presidents? >> i would warn anybody wanting to run to office, don't do what donald trump did. you know, nobody wants to
