Joining me now Jonathan Turley George Washington University law professor Fox News contributor professor, I love going back and watching these old clips because now they're kind of in with the in with the brag attempt to bootstrap you know some conspiracy references and his into their opening statements and and now campaign finance violations what the heck is going on here with this evolving spin. I don't know because this case is quickly becoming incomprehensible may they the newest theory that they gave just as the trial was starting is that we've another dead misdemeanor and the misdemeanor is that Trump conspired by promoting his own election unlawfully, but they don't explain really where the unlawful part is they also don't explain how denoting this as a legal expense later affected the 2016 election. It just doesn't seem to matter to anyone in that courtroom that this is utter nonsense that this is not a campaign violation in terms of contributions of the federal government did not believe there was grounds to charge anything in this case many experts reject that that whole concept. And so what we're watching here is something I've never seen the likes of I mean the judge is allowing this farce to unfold in his courtroom and everyone just seems to be treating this like they're actually trying a known crime when you have people still debating not just on this network. What the crime was that Trump was trying to conceal it's it's it's something that's out of a Fellini movie it's it's just crazy. >> Professor what would you say that that say you were you were doing a seminar, a good criminal you know criminal defense seminar for 3rd year law students and they were actually trying to convince you that this was a bad this was a state crime rising to the level of a felony with these facts, I don't want to see what you graded this theory on if they had to write a paper trying to argue this. >> I remember I had a professor in law school who would always say that's an interesting argument, but it doesn't pass the red face test you have to be able to yeah that argument in court and not get a red face and this is one of those things I tell the students you're trying too hard that is the gravitational pool of who the defendant is is warping your judgment and at some point you have to decide what is more important. >> At some point it becomes an indictment both of the press of these legal minds who actually have a lot of experience in court. So they're indicting themselves by you know letting their did they despise Trump so they want this to kind of fit into the the box that Alvin brag has constructed and it doesn't work.
