THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SOMEWHERE AROUND THE CORNER IS ADAMS EIGHTH GRADE DAUGHTER, MADELINE, WHO'S HERE ON TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK NIGHT. SO GREAT TO HAVE HER HERE. I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO THIS TRUMP ATTACK ON THE JURORS IN HIS CASE, HIM QUOTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY ARE CATCHING UNDERCOVER LIBERAL ACTIVIST, LYING TO THE JUDGE IN ORDER TO GET ON THE TRUMP JURY. THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY SHARP CHALLENGE FOR JUDGE MERCHAN IN ENFORCING HIS GAG ORDER ABOUT JURORS. >> YEAH, SO, LET ME JUST FILL YOU IN ON MARCH 26th OF THIS YEAR, JUDGE MERCHAN ISSUED AN ORDER TO THE PARTIES AND THE RELEVANT PART AND I WILL READ IT, IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING, QUOTE, DONALD TRUMP AND ANY PARTY ARE PROHIBITED FROM DOING THE FOLLOWING, MAKING OR DIRECTING OTHERS TO MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS ABOUT ANY PROSPECTIVE JUROR OR ANY JUROR IN THIS CRIMINAL PROCEEDING. SO, IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE WHY DONALD TRUMP ISN'T REALLY ACHING ON THE JUDGE TO SAY I AM NOW IN CONTEMPT YOU KNOW, FOR WHATEVER POLITICAL PURPOSES HE MAY BE DOING THAT, HE'S CLEARLY ASKING FOR IT AND I THINK THAT IT'S INCUMBENT ON THE JUDGE TO TREAT HIM LIKE ANY OTHER PARTY. AS I'VE SAID REPEATEDLY, IT'S THE ROAD TO HELL TO NOT TREAT HIM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND IT'S HARD TO SEE THE DEFENSE THAT WILL BE MADE. I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED AT ALL IF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY REVISES THEIR PENDING MOTION TO ENCOMPASS THIS. AND I THINK THE JUDGE WILL CERTAINLY WANT TO GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DEFENSE TO BE HEARD, THAT IT'S REQUIRED BY DUE PROCESS. BUT IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE WHY THEY WILL NOT BE SANCTIONED FOR THIS CONDUCT. >> THE JUDGE ALREADY HAS A MOTION PENDING FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ABOUT COMMENTS THAT DONALD TRUMP MADE ABOUT WITNESSES, MICHAEL COHEN, WITNESSES WHO HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT PUBLICLY A LOT BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE JUDGE DIDN'T EXACTLY RACE TO PROTECT MICHAEL COHEN IN THAT SITUATION. JURORS ARE A WHOLE DIFFERENT STATUS IN THIS SITUATION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MATTER THAT JUDGE MERCHAN WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS. >> I THINK THAT'S RIGHT. I THINK WE ALREADY SAW ALREADY IN THE TRIAL THIS WEEK HIM REPRIMANDING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR TALKING AROUND IN THE PRESENCE OF A JUROR, HE WAS ALREADY HOLDING HIM TO TASK. I THINK HE WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THIS AND WEED OUT THE PUNISHMENT, IF NECESSARY. >> IT GOES TO THIS QUESTION OF THE SCHMIDT AND I KNOW THAT ALL THESE JUDGES IN THE BACK OF THEIR MINDS ARE FACING SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THIS IS THE WORST ONE WE'VE SEEN BY FAR, THIS IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING WE'VE SEEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THIS IS SPECIFICALLY SEVEN PEOPLE THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT LYING THERE. THERE'S THE ISSUE OF WHAT CAN YOU DO? A FORMER PRESIDENT WHO HAS SECRET SERVICE DETECTION MANDATED BY LAW, THERE'S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO REMOVE THE PROTECTION, JOE BIDEN CAN'T ORDER IT AWAY, IT'S MANDATED BY LAW, THE IDEA THAT A LOCAL JUDGE IN MANHATTAN COULD SEND DONALD TRUMP TO RIKERS ISLAND JAIL, WITH A SECRET SERVICE DELEGATION OF A COUPLE OF DOZEN , 24 HOURS A DAY FOR WHATEVER PERIOD OF TIME WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THAT WOULD BE SEVERAL SHIFTS OF SECRET SERVICE AGENTS, THAT WOULD REQUIRE A HEARING WHERE THE SECRET SERVICE IS TESTIFYING ABOUT CAN THEY PROTECT HIM THERE, THEY WILL TESTIFY THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, NEVER HAVING DONE ANYTHING LIKE IT. I KNOW THE JUDGE IS JUST ENVISIONING UNLIKE ANY OTHER DEFENDANT I COULD BE DEALING WITH, PUTTING THIS PERSON IN JAIL HAS LOGISTICAL AND PRACTICAL CHALLENGES THAT MAY BE BEYOND THEIR CAPACITY. WHICH THEN I SUPPOSE IT COULD OPEN A QUESTION LIKE, DO YOU GIVE HIM HOME CONFINEMENT AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THAT AND IN THAT CASE, MAKE THE SECRET SERVICE IN EFFECT BE HIS JAILERS AS WELL AS HIS PROTECTORS? >> I HATE TO SOUND LIKE A HARDENED FORMER PROSECUTOR BUT THAT PLEA FALLS ON DEAF EARS TO ME. THERE ARE PLACES IN JAILS THAT SOMEBODY CAN BE KEPT VERY SAFE. PUT HIM IN A CELL, WITH NO ONE ELSE IN THE CELL. NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO GET TO HIM, IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SORT OF THE REASON SECRET SERVICE IS THERE, IT'S SO THAT THERE ISN'T SOME, YOU KNOW, CRAZY PERSON WHO'S GOING TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO TAKE A SHOT AT SOME PUBLIC FIGURE OR FORMER PUBLIC FIGURE AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS LESS OF A CONCERN IN VARIOUS PLACES THAT ARE IN FEDERAL AND STATE PRISONS. THERE'S ALSO WAYS TO PUT SOMEBODY IN LOCKUP FOR A TEMPORARY PERIOD OF TIME IN THE COURTHOUSE. BUT REMEMBER, THE FIRST STEP I THINK IS FINDS THAT HER ONE OF THE MANDATED SANCTIONS, AND A SECOND STEP CAN BE JAIL, UP TO 30 DAYS, FOR ANY SINGLE VIOLATION, IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS, THERE ARE ALREADY THREE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS, THIS WOULD BE A FOURTH, IT COULD BE 30 DAYS AND 30 DAYS AND 30 DAYS AND 30 DAYS, I USUALLY DON'T DO MATH IN PUBLIC BUT I THINK THAT COMES TO 120, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE MAXIMUM AT FIRST, BUT YOU CAN EASILY, AND THE TERM OF ARTIST, STEP HIM BACK AND SO, HE SPENDS SOME TIME, LIKE A CHILD, IN TIMEOUT. SECRET SERVICE IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK PEOPLE PUT FAR TOO MUCH WEIGHT ON, AS SOMETHING THAT MEANS THAT SOMEBODY, JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE SERVICE DETECTION CAN'T DO
