congresswoman, what are people who were hoping to see all the evidence that jack smith has gathered -- you mentioned liz cheney. she talked about the people that jack smith was able to reach that you weren't because they defied congressional subpoenas. they weren't forthcoming. what is the prospect for the american people seeing that evidence before the election? >> it's hard to know. certainly, we will wait and see what the court does. it's possible they could lift the stay and make a decision that whatever immunity would possibly exist. in this case, there is no immunity. we do have state court actions. the indictment in arizona is interesting. obviously, the former president is an unindicted co-conspirator. we don't know why unindicted. potentially, they are waiting for the immunity ruling as well. there's a seven-year statute of limitations for those crimes. he could be added. we may get quick action there. the state courts seem to move faster than the federal courts. the distressing thing -- those of us -- all the lawyers are considered officers of the court. we are trained to be

jack smith sought to fast track this case. maybe not having a trial, maybe not airing the evidence in front of the american people before an election to decide, you guessed it, who will be our president. make no mistake. whether or not trump prevails this particular appeal does nothing to change a fact that the nation's highest court has already done the disgraced ex-president a solid in terms of the timeline, the schedule. big favor. they have gift wrapped and otherwise unavailable delay for him. they've shown the country, the public, the 60% of americans who don't think much of them anymore. they've shown an ability to move quickly when he asked them to. so here we go. foundational principle under consideration, the future of our democracy at stake. it's where we start the hour with some of our favorite experts and friends. u.s. special correspondent for bbc studios katty kay is here. joining us rnc spam, host of the bulwark podcast tim miller is here. back with me at the table former official at the department of justice, m

and keep in mind jack smith went to the supreme court months ago and said take this up now, don't wait for the appellate court. it's coming to you anyway. take it up now. and they go no, no, no, no, go along there and take it to the appellate court first and then it will come to us in due time. so she's absolutely right. and it will be another scandal for the supreme court. and frankly chief justice roberts needs to look in the mirror and decide does he really want to be the chief justice that's remembered for the complete disintegration of anybody's faith in the united states supreme court in this country? because it's already hanging on by a thread after all of the ethics scandals. and now if they give trump this out i think it will go even further, the public's opinion of them. >> the supreme court has an historic low approval rating in the eyes of the american people. i think it just plunged farther faster than any institution in civic life other than congress, which is kind of amazing. farther than the media writ large. and no one has said the word ginni thomas. but ginni thomas w

so in this case, unlike georgia, unlike the jack smith cases, donald trump could frankly just cooperate with this case and not worry about its impact. instead, he's exploding his raw personality in the courtroom and outside of the courtroom. those five to 6% of the voters that actually will decide this election in six or seven state, those are the voter who is look at that and say this is why can't vote for this guy those are the the voter who is said i'm going to coalesce with democrats in 18 and 20 and 22. they are watching this and watching this behavior and they are being reminded why they are probably going to vote for joe biden in november. donald trum i said this every d. he's running on the facts of the mar-a-lago case and with the insurrectionists. he's not running on these facts. he's running from these facts. >> and he should. david is right. this is negatively impacting him, especially with independent americans. i talked to those folks that cover this. i see that couple percentage points in key swing states starting to move away from him, week by week. because he looks dimi

when he calls jack smith deranged, it doesn't even make the news. he's put so much toxicity, so much poison, so much hatred for the rule of law into the system. do you think it can be reversed? >> look, i have a colleague who is a former criminal defense attorney, and what he will tell you is if your client has neither the law on their side nor the facts on their side, the only strategy left to you is to attack the system itself, to attack the entire thing, and i think what we should expect from trump during this trial and any of the other trials that proceed is exactly that behavior, and you just alluded to how he did it to muller, and he did it to comey. when the facts of the law are not on one's side, you attack the system, and there is a very frightening precedent for that to your question about what the future holds. roughly 100 years ago, kind of almost to the week, another demagogue who had attempted to overthrow their government in 1923 in munich was put on trial for that attempted insurrection, and that demagogue used that trial to put the
