The Department of Justice's case against former President Donald Trump may be dead on arrival
0:05
In fact, it may not even arrive. Folks, I'm Carmine Sabia and this is Explain America

So a former attorney for former President Donald Trump spoke yesterday about kind of
0:29
the abnormalities in the Trump prosecution and what they're trying to get his attorneys
0:35
to do. Now, if they're successful, it creates a whole new standard of justice in the United States
0:42
not just for this case, but across the board. If you continuously get someone's attorneys to flip because you threaten them with prosecution
0:51
then that person is not getting the legal benefit of attorneys that they're entitled
0:57
to in the Constitution. They're basically denied counsel because if everybody they get is going to become a government
1:04
witness, they can't feel free to ask questions of their attorney like any normal person would
1:09
be able to do because the fear is that they can come back to haunt them later on
1:15
You cannot put somebody in that position. Because of that, this case might not even make it to trial, he says
1:22
Let's take a listen to what he told Laura Ingraham. Joining me now is Tim Parlatore, former attorney for President Trump
1:28
Tim, it's great to see you tonight. Now, what do you make of the tactics of Garland's DOJ, especially with the attorney-client privilege question
1:38
You know, litigating these types of cases against DOJ, as I usually do, this team acted
1:46
so radically different from every professional U.S. attorney's office that I've ever dealt with
1:52
They've shown no regard whatsoever for attorney-client privilege. And it's more than just the issue of Evan Corcoran
1:58
You know, I went before the grand jury myself, not subpoenaed. I went involuntarily instead of a custodian of records
2:05
Why did you go involuntarily? They wanted to hear about the searches that we did for additional documents
2:11
They wanted some staffer from Mar-a-Lago to go down who wasn't going to be able to really
2:15
talk about it. So I voluntarily went in because, as a criminal lawyer, the opportunity to speak directly
2:21
to the grand jury, I wanted that opportunity. Forty-five separate times. I can't make that number up
2:28
I actually counted them. Forty-five separate times they asked me about my conversations with my client
2:34
And at one point, we kept getting into this fight because they kept implying, oh, you're
2:39
keeping this from the grand jury. You won't let them know this. No, no, no, the ethics rules prohibit me from saying this
2:45
Well, unless there, I mean, there are some exceptions to the attorney-client privilege, such as which they rely on in this indictment, the crime fraud exception
2:53
But how they determined whether there was a probable cause for a crime to have occurred
2:59
here, that's in question as well. And we don't have the documents on how they filed those motions, do we? Correct
3:05
And what they actually did when I was there is they said one of the exceptions is waiver
3:09
Well, if President Trump's being so cooperative, why won't he waive privilege and let you tell
3:13
us all about his conversations? And under Jack Smith's rule, any question the client asks, if we say no, you can't do
3:20
that, that's a crime. Oh, my God. I mean, this just upends all of attorney-client privilege ethics rules that I ever learned
3:27
in law school. It does. And this is one of the things. Oh, my God
3:31
I believe this case, there's going to be serious litigation in the pretrial stage over prosecutorial
3:35
misconduct by this team, which could entirely upend this case. We may never get to a trial
3:40
We may never actually have to address any of the substantive issues because of the misconduct
3:46
of Jack Smith and his team. Do you believe that he has a backup plan to go after the president in New Jersey, where
3:53
his Bedminster Club is? That was floated today on CNN and elsewhere
3:58
That I don't believe. I mean, it's something that they already put in this indictment about that conversation
4:05
They've never found a document that would be associated with that conversation
4:10
And so to try and bring that as a separate case there, it would be consolidated anyway
4:15
There'd be a double jeopardy issue because it's already alleged in this indictment. Do you agree with my comments on the angle that these former government officials, many
4:22
of whom I have great respect for, Bill Barr, one of them, who goes on TV and says he's
4:26
toast, essentially? That really... You know, I have problems with any attorney who goes on TV and makes pronouncements about
4:34
a case that they haven't seen the evidence. I represented the man for a year, and even I am sitting here saying, if the discovery
4:43
if the discovery bears this out, people that have never seen a shred of it can't possibly
4:49
go out there and make these pronouncements. Tim, thank you for joining us
4:52
I really appreciate it. Hope to have you back soon. Now, I'm not a legal expert, but what he says makes a lot of sense
4:58
A man has to be, or a woman, has to be entitled to counsel
5:01
You can't keep taking their attorneys and trying to prosecute them or get them to be
5:05
cooperating witnesses. You know, this is not the first time Jack Smith has come after conservatives, you know
5:11
and we'll get into it sometime with what he did during the IRS Lois Lerner scandal, is
5:18
he was involved in that as well. Jack Smith is not this angelic being that they want you to believe he is, this virtue
5:25
and paragon of law and justice, not in my opinion. And if you look into his history, it shouldn't be in your opinion either
5:33
It's very obvious what's happening here. They are trying to nail Trump and they're trying to use everything they can to do it
5:40
The law be damned, they don't care. And that's kind of the difference with Mueller
5:45
That's why they were never satisfied with the Mueller investigation, because Bob Mueller
5:48
actually followed the law. Wow, what a concept. He actually followed the law and said there's nothing to prosecute here
5:55
He didn't reach and reach for the stars like Jack Smith is trying to do to try to find
6:00
something to prosecute. That's the big difference between Bob Mueller and Jack Smith
6:04
