SEEN IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
>> Shannon: ALL RIGHT, JUDGE,
I WANT TO BRING IN
PROFESSOR JONATHAN TURLEY, WHO
HAS BEEN IN THE COURTROOM TODAY.
SO YOU ARE FRESH OUT OF THERE.
CAN YOU GIVE US ANY OF THE
FLAVOR?
BECAUSE WHEN WE THOUGHT THE
COURT WAS GOING TO BREAK FOR THE
DAY, IT SEEMS LIKE
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM
SEEMED TO RELAX, THAT HE WAS
SMILING.
MAYBE THEY THOUGHT, OKAY, THIS
JURY IS GOING TO STILL
STRUGGLING, GOING TO LEAVE
TONIGHT NOT DIGGING IT TO SAY AN
WE GET WORD THAT THE VERDICT IS
COMING IN.
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE MOOD
IN THE COURTHOUSE?
>> IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST
BIZARRE MOMENTS I HAVE HAD IN A
COURTROOM, AND I WAS JUST
OBSERVING.
THE JUDGE HAD JUST SAID THAT THE
JURY COULD NOT REACH A DECISION.
AND THAT WE WOULD BE DISMISSED
FOR THE DAY.
SOME REPORTERS ACTUALLY GATHERED
THEIR STUFF AND WERE STARTING TO
LEAVE.
AND THEN THE JUDGE CAME AND
BASICALLY SAID, MY MISTAKE.
WE JUST GOT A NOTE SAYING
THERE'S A VERDICT.
THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, YOU COULD
FEEL THE BUILDING PRESSURE IN
THAT COURTROOM.
THE ONE PERSON THAT DIDN'T SEEM
TO REGISTER IT WAS THE FORMER
PRESIDENT.
HE HAD BEEN CHATTING WITH
COUNSEL.
HE DIDN'T SHOW ANY EMOTION AT
ALL.
AS THIS MANTRA OF GUILTY VERDICT
OF GUILTY VERDICT WAS READ AND
THERE WAS A GREAT, I THINK THIS
IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT
REALLY EMBODIES THE ENTIRE TRUMP
ERA.
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY
WERE THRILLED BY THE RESULT.
AND THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT WILL
BE VERY SAD BY IT.
I WAS SADDENED TO WATCH IT.
I DISAGREE WITH THIS VERDICT.
I THINK, AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE,
THAT THIS CASE WAS LEGALLY
UNFOUNDED.
WHEN THEY WERE READING THOSE
GUILTY VERDICTS, THE ONE THING
THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW IS REALLY
WHAT HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF,
BECAUSE IF YOU REMEMBER, THE
JUDGE ALLOWED THE JURY TO FIND
GUILT ON ANY 1 OF 3 SECONDARY
CRIMES.
WE WEREN'T TOLD WHETHER THE JURY
FOUND ANY ONE OF THOSE CRIMES,
WHETHER THEY FOUND ALL THREE OF
THOSE CRIMES.
I'M NOT TOO SURE WE WILL KNOW
THAT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE MANY ISSUES
THAT I THINK PRESENTS REVERSIBLE
PROBLEMS IN THIS CASE.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THIS
IS A HISTORIC MOMENT.
WE ALL HAVE TO TAKE A BREATH.
BUT FOR THOSE UPSET BY THIS
VERDICT, REMEMBER, THIS REMAINS
A COUNTRY COMMITTED TO THE RULE
OF LAW.
AND THIS IS GOING TO GO UP ON
APPEAL.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
REVERSED IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL
SYSTEMS.
BUT IT'S MOMENTS LIKE THIS, WHEN
YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHEN
YOU DISAGREE WITH A VERDICT,
THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LEAP OF
FAITH IN THE RULE OF LAW.
IT'S WHAT DEFINES US.
MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT THIS CASE
REALLY EMBODIED THE ANTITHESIS
OF THAT.
BUT AS A COUNTRY AS A WHOLE, WE
HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO REVIEW
THIS.
FOR DONALD TRUMP, THAT'S NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE
ELECTION, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD.
BUT LET'S KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS
IS NOT THE ONLY COURT.
IT'S JUST THE FIRST ONE.
>> Shannon: WELL, AND THERE
HAVE ALSO BEEN JURY TRIALS AND
JUDGES AND DECISIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN MADE THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
TOUGH FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT
AND OTHER CONTACTS, TOO, IN THE
BUSINESS CONTEXT AND A PERSONAL
CASE INVOLVING E. JEAN CARROLL.
THERE ARE OTHER DECISIONS MADE
AGAINST HIM THAT HAVE BEEN VERY
DIFFICULT.
THEY'VE BEEN IN NEW YORK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT PORTENDS
OR DOES NOT WITH THESE OTHER
CASES WE HAVE PENDING?
GEORGE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT
IS GOING TO GET TO TRIAL BEFORE
WE GET TO NOVEMBER.
THE TWO FEDERAL CASES, WE ARE
WAITING FOR THE SUPREME COURT
DECISION ON IMMUNITY THAT COULD
COME AS EARLY AS NEXT THURSDAY,
WE GET OPINION AGAIN.
WHAT WILL THAT CASE MEAN TO ALL
OF THESE THINGS THAT ARE PENDING
OR HAVE ALREADY BEEN DECIDED
WHEN IT COMES TO THIS QUESTION,
YOU KNOW, WE HEARD THE
ARGUMENTS, THE SUPREME COURT,
THERE WERE TWO EXTREMES.
EVERYTHING AT ANYTHING THE
PRESIDENT DOES, YOU CAN'T
QUESTION ANY OF IT, THERE MUST
BE FULL IMMUNITY FROM ANY KIND
OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
SO THERE IS NOTHING, NO
PROTECTION FOR HIM.
WE KNOW THE JUSTICES ARE GOING
TO LAND, WE THINK, SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN, NOT WITH THOSE EXTREMEW
IS THAT DECISION AS WE WAIT FOR
THAT?
>> IT IS VERY CRITICAL BOTH IN
TERMS OF THE LAW AND THE TIMING.
THE COURT DID SEEM TO REJECT THE
EXTREMES ON BOTH SIDES.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE EXTREMES OF
THE TRUMP TEAM IN TERMS OF THE
SWEEPING IMMUNITY, BUT THEY ALSO
DIDN'T LIKE THE COURT OF APPEALS
APPROACH.
THEY FELT THAT IT GAVE TOO
LITTLE RECOGNITION OF THE NEEDS
OF THE OFFICE.
SO THEY COULD END UP SENDING
THIS BACK FOR FURTHER EVIDENCE
AND FOR DETERMINATIONS BY THE
TRIAL COURT.
IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THE JUDGE
WILL BE ABLE TO GET THAT DONE
BEFORE THE ELECTION.
FLORIDA DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
HEADING TOWARDS A TRIAL BEFORE
THE ELECTION --
>> Shannon: THAT'S THE FEDERAL
MAR-A-LAGO DOCUMENTS CASE.
>> SOMEONE LIKE ANDY AND OTHERS
WHO HAVE DEALT WITH CLASSIFIED
TRIALS, THAT IS NOT STRANGE.
THE FLORIDA SCHEDULE IS, IF
ANYTHING, MOVING AT A FAIRLY
GOOD CLIP.
IT OFTEN TAKES YEARS FOR THESE
CASES TO GET PUT TOGETHER WHEN
YOU HAVE THIS LEVEL OF
CLASSIFICATION.
THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS
CASE, YOU POINTED OUT BEFORE,
REMAINS THE OPTICS.
NEW YORK IS BEING VIEWED BY MANY
AS THIS VORTEX THAT WON'T LET
TRUMP OUT, THAT THEY KEEP ON
HITTING HIM.
AND THIS IS A MAJOR WIN FOR HIS
CRITICS.
BUT THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT'S
A BIT OF A PYRRHIC VICTORY
BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE CASES,
THIS ONE EMBODIED THE
WEAPONIZATION OF THE LEGAL
SYSTEM.
SO THE RESULT WON'T COME AS A
SURPRISE.
FOR SOME, ADDING THE TITLE OF A
CONVICTED FELON COULD AFFECT
THEIR VOTES.
FOR OTHERS, IT COULD AFFECT IT
THE OTHER WAY.
FOR OTHERS, THEY ARE REPELLED BY
WHAT THEY SEE OUT OF NEW YORK.
I MUST TELL YOU, THE REASON I
WAS SADDENED THERE WAS NOT FOR
THE FORMER PRESIDENT.
IT WAS FOR THE NEW YORK LEGAL
SYSTEM.
I HAVE WRITTEN, AS MANY OF US
HAVE, THAT THIS IS A DEEPLY
FLAWED CASE.
IT'S WRONG.
AND THIS IS A GREAT LEGAL
SYSTEM.
I'M NOT A NEW YORK BAR MEMBER, I
AM OUT OF D.C., BUT I HAVE A
HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR THIS
SYSTEM.
IT HAS HELPED DEFINE THE LAW IN
THIS COUNTRY, THE LEGAL HISTORY
WAS MADE HERE, ON THIS BLOCK,
AND LOOKING AT TWO COURT HOUSES,
WHERE LEGENDARY CASES WERE HEARD
AND HANDED DOWN.
IT'S PART OF OUR DNA AS LAWYERS,
SO FOR MANY OF US, IT IS A SAD
MOMENT, BECAUSE WE WERE HOPING
THIS JURY MIGHT REDEEM A BIT OF
THAT INTEGRITY.
IT DID NOT.
I AM NOT BLAMING THE JURORS.
THEY GOT INSTRUCTIONS THAT MADE
CONVICTION VERY LIKELY HERE.
I WAS ONE, AS OPPOSED TO MY GOOD
FRIEND ANDY, WHO BELIEVED THEY
WOULD GET A VERDICT TODAY AND IT
WOULD BE A CONVICTION, I WAS ONE
HOLDING OUT FOR A POSSIBLE HUNG
JURY BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS JURY
WOULD SEE THROUGH THIS.
I'M NOT TOO SURE YOU CAN BLAME
THEM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
INSTRUCTIONS, WHEN YOU ALLOW A
JURY TO POTENTIALLY GO AND
DISAGREE ON WHAT HAPPENED AND
WHAT CRIME WAS BEING CONCEALED
HERE, IT MAKES IT PRETTY HARD TO
ACQUIT.
>> Shannon: JONATHAN, I WANT
TO ASK YOU TOO A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE FLAVOR INSIDE
BECAUSE YOU COMMENTED
YESTERDAY THAT THERE WERE, I
GUESS IT WAS TWO DAYS AGO DURING
THE SUMMATIONS, I WAS IN FOR THE
DEFENSE IN THE MORNING, YOU WERE
FOR THE PROSECUTION IN THE
AFTERNOON, YOU SAID WHEN IT
LOOKED LIKE THE PROSECUTOR WAS
MOCKING TRUMP OR LANDING POINTS
THAT WERE BAD FOR THE DEFENSE OR
BAD FOR TRUMP, THAT THE MEDIA IN
THE ROOM WAS REACTING TO THAT.
IT WASN'T EXACTLY NEUTRAL.
>> NO, HE KNEW HIS AUDIENCE.
THE MEDIA IN THE ROOM WAS
LAUGHING.
>> AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
THERE JUST COVERING THIS AS
NEUTRAL ARBITERS.
>> I WAS SURPRISED.
THESE ARE JOURNALISTS I HOPE A
HIGHER REGARD THAN MYSELF
BECAUSE I AM JUST A COMMENTOR,
JUST SOMEONE WHO GIVES OPINION,
BUT NO, BUT EVERY ONE OF THOSE
DIGS LANDED WITH THAT AUDIENCE.
WE ALL EXPECTED THAT, THAT THERE
WOULD BE THIS HUMAN WAVE.
NOT JUST OF PEOPLE HERE ON THE
STREETS OF MANHATTAN, BUT I'M ON
THE LOT OF THE JOURNALISTS.
I THINK THAT WITH TIME, THEY
WILL SEE THE COST OF ALL OF
THIS.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM COMES
AT A COST.
IT COMES AT A COST OF THE RULE
OF LAW.
BUT THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE ROOM
AT THE END, I MUST SAY, WAS
SOLEMN AND IT WAS RIVETING.
NO ONE MOVED.
NOW IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE THEY
REALLY RAMPED UP SECURITY RIGHT
BEFORE THE VERDICT CAME IN.
THE SECURITY SAID NOBODY MOVE,
NOBODY STAND, AND THERE IS A BIT
OF A CHUCKLE BECAUSE NO ONE WAS
MOVING.
>> Shannon: NOBODY IS GOING
ANYWHERE WHEN THAT VERDICT IS
COMING IN.
>> THE PERSON THAT SEEMED THE
CALL MUST WAS TRUMP.
HE CONTINUED TO TALK WITH HIS
COUNSEL.
THIS DID NOT SEEM TO SURPRISE
HIM IN THE LEAST.
AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A
REACTION OF A LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOU BASICALLY GOT OUT OF THIS
TRIAL WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD
GET.
FOR PEOPLE THAT VIEWED THIS AS A
POLITICAL TRIAL, IT IS THAT ON
STEROIDS.
FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE THIS IS
LONG-DELAYED JUSTICE, THIS IS
EXACTLY WHAT THEY HOPED FOR.
BUT THAT FINAL VERDICT,
OF COURSE, WILL COME IN Â
NOVEMBER.
>> Shannon: SO YOU ARE A VERY
EXPERIENCED DEFENSE ATTORNEY, TO
THE POINT WHERE IF I GET IN
TROUBLE, YOU ARE MY CALL.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, FROM A
JAILHOUSE, JONATHAN TURLEY,
PLEASE TAKE MY CALL.
YOU KNOW IT IS LIKE TO BE ON THE
LOSING END OF A VERDICT.
BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP CAME OUT
TODAY AND REALLY FED INTO WHAT
HIS SUPPORTERS LOVE ABOUT HIM,
WE ARE GOING TO KEEP FIGHTING.
WE KNOW THAT IS A LONG PROCESS.
HOW THIS MAY REFLECT THE TRIAL
COURT DECISION ON THAT.
WHAT IS YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE
APPELLATE DIVISION OR THE
APPELLATE PROCESS HERE IN
NEW YORK?
>> THIS CASE IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT BECAUSE, QUITE
FRANKLY, I THINK THE LEVEL OF
REVERSIBLE ERROR HERE REALLY IS
QUITE CONSIDERABLE.
IT RUNS THE WATERFRONT OF
PROCEDURAL TO CONSTITUTIONAL
PROBLEMS, INCLUDING FEDERAL
CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS.
I DON'T EVEN SEE HOW YOU CAN
MEET THE UNANIMITY REQUIREMENT
IN THE WAY THAT THIS THING WAS
INSTRUCTED.
YEAH, THEY WERE UNANIMOUS THAT
SOME CRIME WAS COMMITTED ON THE
SECONDARY CRIME, BUT IT'S
APPARENTLY BETWEEN THE JURORS
AND GOD AS TO WHAT THAT CRIME
WAS, UNLESS THERE IS GOING TO BE
SOME RELEASE OF A JURY FORM.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT JURY FORM.
>> Shannon: ANY INDICATION
WHEN YOU WERE INSIDE --
>> NO.
>> Shannon: THERE IS A SPECIAL
VERDICT FORM.
>> NO, WE WERE ALL HOPING THERE
MIGHT BE A FORM THAT WOULD BRING
CLARITY ON THAT ISSUE.
BUT NO, I THINK THAT, IN THE
END, WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A
REVERSAL.
I'M FAIRLY CONFIDENT OF THAT.
NOW IN THE NEW YORK APPELLATE
SYSTEM, THEY HAVE A RULE FOR
TRUMP.
THEY ARE VERY GOOD LAWYERS IN
THE NEW YORK SYSTEM, AND
CREDIBLE PEOPLE WHO WANT THE SYO
WORK THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED.
I AM ETERNALLY AN OPTIMIST.
I WAS AN OPTIMIST ABOUT A HUNG
JURY.
AND I'M AN OPTIMIST NOW ABOUT
THE APPELLATE JUDGES.
I THINK AT SOME POINT PEOPLE
WILL STEP FORWARD AND SAY
ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW, HATING THIS MAN IS NOT
ENOUGH TO FORGET THE LACK OF THE
EVIDENCE.
AND ONCE AGAIN, I DO NOT BLAME
THIS JURY.
THEY WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
THAT MADE IT VERY EASY TO
CONVICT.
AND SOME OF THEM MIGHT NOT HAVE
SEEN A REAL OPTION N
