WITH CONSERVATIVE LAWYER AND VOCAL TRUMP CRITIC GEORGE CONWAY. GEORGE, THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. WHY ARE WE SEEING SO MANY REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS PARROT TRUMP'S BASELESS CLAIMS ABOUT THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE US JUDICIAL SYSTEM AGAINST TRUMP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS IN THE THRALL OF A NOW CONVICTED FELON AND ADJUDICATED RAPIST. AND THEY ARE ALL JOCKEYING FOR POSITION IN THE PARTY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE USED TO DOING, THEIR USE TO PARROTING HIS LIES AND PROTECTING THIS MAN WHO HAS BASICALLY DONE NOTHING BUT BRING DISGRACE TO THE PARTY AND IT'S JUST ABSURD. IT'S JUST MENDACIOUS ON SO MANY LEVELS. MEAN, FIRST OF ALL, THE FIRST PERSON TO BE CHARGED WITH ANY CRIME THAT INVOLVE THE STORMY DANIEL'S EPISODE WAS OF COURSE, MICHAEL COHEN, WHO CHARGED MICHAEL COHEN. IT HAPPENS TO BE THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN 2018 LO AND BEHOLD, WHO WAS PRESIDENT IN 2018? THIS IS JUST ABSURD. THE MAN COHEN WENT TO JAIL FOR DOING UNDER FEDERAL LAW FOR COMMITTING CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATIONS THAT HE ADMITTED TO AND THEN TESTIFIED TO UNDER OATH. JUST THIS PAST MONTH. AND THE NOTION THAT SOMEHOW DONALD TRUMP SHOULD GET A PASS OR WITH DONALD TRUMP'S OWN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CHARTER ARCHES A FEDERAL CRIME WHICH THEN BECAME A PREDICATE FOR THE STATE LAW. FRAUD THAT DONALD TRUMP COMMITTED TO COVER UP THE FEDERAL CRIME IS JUST ABSURD. TO SUGGEST THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, KNOW, I I HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN, BUT THERE IS NO WEAPONIZATION OF GI JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BY JOE BIDEN I MEAN, THIS NOTION, THEY ARGUE THAT JOE BIDEN AS SENILE YET NOW HE SOMEHOW THE MASTERMIND BEHIND WHAT THE WHAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF THE COUNTING OF NEW YORK IS DOING. IS JUST PER PREPOSTEROUS AND IT'S PARTICULARLY PREPOSTEROUS IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BINDS OWN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS PROSECUTING A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN A COURTHOUSE DOWN THE STREET FROM WHERE TRUMP WAS TRIED. HAND IS PROSECUTING JOE BIDEN'S OWN SON. THAT'S NOT THE WEAPONIZATION OF JUSTICE. THAT'S I MEAN, YOU CAN ARGUE ABOUT ONE CASE, SO THE OTHER WHETHER IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN THE MERITS OF ONE PARTICULAR CASE AND ANOTHER. AND I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT THOSE OTHER CASES. BUT THAT'S JUSTICE THAT'S JUSTICE THAT PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES ARE BEING PROSECUTED BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND VICE BY OTHER PROSECUTORS. THIS IS NOT A WEAPONIZATION OF JUSTICE. THE REASON WHY DONALD TRUMP IS NOW CONVICTED ARE 34 FELONIES IS BECAUSE HE COMMITTED 34 FELONIES AND A JURY OF 12 PEOPLE, INCLUDING ONE PERSON WHO GOT HIS NEWS. ONLY FROM TRUTH, SOCIAL DONALD TRUMP'S OWN PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE FOUND HIM UNANIMOUSLY GUILTY. AND THEY FOUND HIM OBVIOUSLY OVERWHELMINGLY GUILTY BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T TAKE THEM THAT LONG. THEY HEARD THE EVIDENCE. THERE WASN'T EVEN A DIFF I SAT THROUGH THAT TRIAL. I READ THE TRANSCRIPT. THERE WAS NO DEFENSE. THE CASE WAS NEVER EVEN CLOSE. AND FRANKLY, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IMMEDIATE MISLED THE PUBLIC BY SUGGESTING THAT IT MIGHT BE ANYTHING BUT A RUNAWAY WALK OFF VICTORY BY, BY A COMPLETE BLOWOUT BY THE PROSECUTION, WHICH IT WAS, AND THE JURY AGREED FOR TRUMP GAVE REMARKS EARLIER TODAY'S WE ALL KNOW SLAMMING THE VERDICT. I WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE PART OF THAT. LISTEN TO THIS THIS IS A SCAM. >> THERE'S A RIG TRIAL IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THAT VENUE. >> WE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT, JUDGE. HE SHOULD HAVE LOUD ALLOWED US TO HAVE AN ELECTION EXPERT WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO HAVE WITNESSES. HE WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO TALK. YOU WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING YOU WERE IN COURT FOR PARTS OF THIS TRIAL, GEORGE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO WHAT HE JUST SAID HE'S LYING JUST THE SAME WAY HE LIVES OF BLIGHT ABOUT THE ELECTION, LIED ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COURTROOM, LIED ABOUT THE SECURITY AROUND THE COURTHOUSE. >> HE'S LYING. HE COULD HAVE PUT ON ANY NUMBER OF WITNESSES. THE LEGAL EXPERT HE PUT ON WAS GOING TO TESTIFY ABOUT LAW, BUT UNDER THE UNDER THE RULES OF EVIDENCE IN EVERY STATE AND IN THE FEDERAL COURTS, YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T PUT SOMEBODY TO TESTIFY ABOUT DOMESTIC LAW. THE FACT IS HE COULD HAVE PUT ON ANY OF THESE YOU COULD HAVE PUT ON HIS SON WHO SIGNS ONE OF THE CHECKS THAT HE COULD HAVE PUT ON HIMSELF, BUT HE WAS TO CHECK SCARED. HE COULD HE WOULD NEVER HAVE WITHSTOOD CROSS-EXAMINED EMANATION. HE KNEW THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW IF THIS MAN WHO FOLLOWS, WHO DOESN'T ALWAYS FOLLOW HIS LAWYERS ADVICE DECIDED NOT TO TESTIFY. HE DIDN'T HE SAYS ALL THIS STUFF IN THE COURTHOUSE OUT IN THE HALLWAY IN TRUMP TOWER ABOUT HOW IT WAS ALL RIGGED AND ALL WAS ALL LIVES. THIS IS FALSE. THAT IS FALSE. WELL, WHERE IS THIS TESTIMONY? >> HE WAS TOO SCARED HE. WAS TOO WEAK. HE WAS TWO HE WAS HE KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE SHOWN TO BE THE ABSOLUTE LIAR THAT THE JURY FOUND HIM TO BE. AND IF ANYTHING, IF HE HAD TESTIFIED THE JURY VERDICT WOULD HAVE COME BACK FASTER. >> HE KNOWS THAT I'M LOOKING AT THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. HE SAID I WANTED TO TESTIFY. THERE'S A DIRECT QUOTE. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE TESTIFIED HE COULD HAVE TESTIFIED NOTHING STOPPING THEM EXCEPT HIMSELF. HE DECIDED NOT TO TESTIFY EARLIER TODAY, GEORGIA, THE HOUSE SPEAKER JOHNSON CALLED ON THE US SUPREME COURT TO STEP IN AND SET THIS RECORD STRAIGHT. HIS WORDS REGARDING THE CASE. DO YOU SEE ANY REASON WHY THE US SUPREME COURT WOULD GET INVOLVED? >> IT'S AMAZING BECAUSE I THINK SPEAKER JOHNSON IS A LAWYER. I IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN AND HE KNOWS BETTER THAN THAT, THE WAY THAT AN APPEAL HAPPENS IS IN THE ORDINARY COURSE THE DEFENDANT WILL BE SENTENCED ON JULY 11. AT THAT POINT, THE DEFENDANT CAN TAKE AN APPEAL TO THE APPELLATE DIVISION. FIRST DEPARTMENT OF THE SCREEN IN COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE ANOTHER APPEAL IF HE LOSES THEIR THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. AND THEN HE CAN GO TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. IF HE HAS A FEDERAL ISSUE TO ASSERT
