0:34
out Trump was sentenced on Friday and he
0:38
was sentenced to
0:40
well no punishment kind of weird right
0:44
why would you rush a sentence for no
0:47
punishment and then why would you then
0:49
release the audio of that sentence
0:50
unless your
0:52
goal is to try to embarrass this man
0:54
unless you're trying to rush it so
0:57
that he will go into office as a
1:00
convicted felon which he will he'll be
1:02
the first convicted felon as president
1:04
of United States so what twice impeached
1:07
convicted felon these are all little
1:08
catchphrases they want to say but you
1:10
know what you better say twice
1:12
elected the people the jury of the
1:16
people of the United States over 77
1:19
million said we want this man to be our
1:21
president and now you rush to sentencing
1:23
but it backfired it backfired on you
1:26
just like the trial backfired on you
1:28
just like the trial actually brought
1:30
people to Maga it backfired on you how'
1:34
it backfire on you well it's kind of
1:35
simple
1:36
see this case would have dragged out for
1:39
years would have dragged out for years
1:42
would have dragged out for his entire
1:43
presidency but you sentenced him now
1:46
he's officially a convicted felon and
1:49
that means he can officially appeal he
1:52
can officially use every lever at his
1:56
disposal to write what he believes is
1:58
wrong and I'll tell you this
2:01
I believe it's wrong millions of people
2:03
believe it's wrong this this this is a
2:06
fabricated case it was a Frankenstein
2:08
case where the jury was told just find
2:10
them whatever you find them guilty of
2:11
it's okay that's a unanimous verdict
2:13
that's not how the law works this case
2:15
is Rife with reasons for the appeal to
2:19
be
2:20
successful that being said CNN analyst
2:22
Ellie honing said it's great news for
2:24
Trump that he got convicted and he's
2:26
going to explain why I want you to
2:28
listen to him
2:30
and let me know what you think in the
2:31
comments speaking to reporters right
2:33
after the supreme court order came down
2:35
I'm get it right to CNN's Ellie honig
2:37
who is joining me here uh Ellie you see
2:39
Donald Trump he is at Mar Lago there
2:41
that means he is going to be appealing
2:43
virtually to or on the appearing
2:45
virtually tomorrow we'll get to that in
2:47
a moment but on this decision everyone
2:49
was waiting to see what it said even
2:50
people in Trump World that i' had been
2:51
talking to were kind of divided on
2:53
whether or not the Supreme Court was
2:54
going to take their side were you
2:55
surprised by this I was surprised it was
2:57
this close Kaylin it we were one vote
3:00
away from the US Supreme Court
3:03
preventing Donald Trump from getting
3:04
sentenced by Zoom to nothing I mean that
3:07
would have damaged the Supreme Court's
3:09
credibility beyond all recognition and I
3:11
think the opinion that came down 5 to
3:13
four letting the sentencing go I think
3:15
it was perfectly sound basically the
3:16
justices and the majority said two
3:18
things first of all they said what's the
3:20
harm you're going to get sentenced to
3:22
zero you can do it by Zoom you can roll
3:24
out of bed and do it and second of all
3:26
you do maybe have substantial issues I
3:29
think he has substan issues on appeal
3:30
but you can handle them through the full
3:32
appeal process that will follow your
3:34
sentencing they're saying you don't need
3:35
to do this right now there are normal
3:37
channels to handle this through but
3:38
Trump just doesn't want it to happen
3:40
before he becomes president and you know
3:41
what's maybe ironic about it Trump
3:43
actually gets a benefit by being sensed
3:45
tomorrow which is once that sentencing
3:47
is over as of tomorrow morning then he
3:49
can take his full appeals he can go up
3:51
the New York courts of appeals he can go
3:53
maybe to the US Supreme Court and say
3:55
the charge against me was
3:56
unconstitutional which I think it may be
3:58
he can say that the jury was not
4:00
properly instructed but if he had gotten
4:02
his way if he was not sentenced tomorrow
4:05
he would not have been able to appeal
4:06
that would have been it so this sentence
4:08
would have sort of died in Nether world
4:10
well and part of their argument had been
4:12
that it was going to be too tough for
4:14
him to get sentenced tomorrow that he
4:15
couldn't show up to the sentencing in
4:16
New York the justices made a point the
4:20
five who ruled that he that this could
4:22
happen and said uh that it was
4:24
relatively insubstantial in light of
4:26
what the court is saying that they're
4:27
going to do which is to impose that
4:28
sentence of UNC conditional discharge
4:31
and it's a brief virtual hearing he
4:32
doesn't have to be there in person
4:33
tomorrow so this was a smart move by
4:36
judge Maran because he said last week
4:38
I'm going to sentence you to essentially
4:40
nothing and you can do it by Zoom if
4:41
Maran had not done that if he just said
4:44
appear for sentencing Friday it'll be
4:46
like any other sentencing you don't know
4:47
what you're going to get until I tell
4:48
you that might have changed the Supreme
4:50
Court's calculus because Trump's
4:51
argument was I could be subject to what
4:53
we call irreparable harm and if Trump
4:56
was able to say I don't know maybe this
4:57
guy's going to try to lock me up maybe
4:58
he's going to some serious penalty maybe
5:01
I don't have the time as president-elect
5:02
to travel to New York and sit in a
5:04
courtroom and go through security
5:05
instead Maran absolutely minimized that
5:08
okay so he appears virtually via I'll
5:10
call it Zoom I don't even know what what
5:12
it is for the court system when you get
5:14
sentenced you have an option to say
5:16
something you just hit on what the
5:18
biggest point is going to be to watch
5:19
for tomorrow any defendant at sentencing
5:21
absolutely has a right to speak almost
5:24
always they do so Trump might say I have
5:26
nothing to say your honor or he might
5:29
give us a rant I mean I would bet on
5:31
that because look he's got nothing to
5:33
lose he knows he's getting sentenced to
5:34
nothing so so he speaks before the
5:36
sentencing and goes off on the judge
5:39
which he does and did tonight that won't
5:41
change how Maran sentences him well
5:43
Maran left himself a tiny bit of wiggle
5:45
room right he didn't say I promise I
5:47
will sentence you he said I intend to
5:49
sentence you but I think it would take
5:51
an awfully lot for to push Maran from
5:54
sentence you to unconditional discharge
5:56
to lashing out with a sentence Gorsuch
5:59
Cavanaugh Roberts Alo yeah they were
6:02
willing to stop this where what's the
6:05
make that argument their argument would
6:07
be as a purely procedural matter Trump
6:10
was still in the process of appealing
6:12
based on immunity right we got the
6:13
immunity ruling six months ago and if
6:15
you look at a certain way procedurally
6:17
while you're appealing on immunity as a
6:19
defendant you're entitled to a complete
6:21
stay meaning no trial no sentencing no
6:24
nothing but the majority and again Amy
6:26
Cony Barrett and John Roberts joined
6:27
with the Liberals said but if there's no
6:29
there's no harm and that's really what
6:31
carried the day here so this news and
6:32
then right after that it came down that
6:34
the effort to keep the Special council's
6:36
Report away from public view also Trump
6:39
lost on that they can still appeal it
6:40
we'll see what happens and we're going
6:42
to see I'll spoil that one we're going
6:43
to see those reports eventually okay
6:45
well we might see you back here tomorrow
6:46
night Ellie onig so thank you for that
6:49
up next of course we are continuing to
6:50
keep a close eye on what is happening on
6:52
the ground in Los Angeles
