- The Trump Indictments with Melissa Murray, Andrew Weissmann, and Lawrence O’Donnell
For the first time in American history a former President, Donald Trump, is the subject of a series of explosive charges across four cases: the January 6th case and the classified documents case both brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith; the election interference case in Georgia and the “hush money” case in New York.
NYU law Professors and MSNBC contributors Melissa Murray, who has written for the New York Times and the Washington Post, and Andrew Weissmann, who was former lead prosecutor for Special Counsel Robert Mueller, are joined by Lawrence O’Donnell, host of The Last Word on MSNBC, who was formerly an Emmy Award-winning executive producer and writer for The West Wing to discuss Weissmann’s and Murray’s new book The Trump Indictments which is an indispensable record of a democracy at the crossroads and a handbook for anyone following the trials in 2024.
Recorded March 6, 2024 at 92nd Street Y, New York.

Three absolutely brilliant minds! Thank you very much for bringing to us, QUALITY!
This is one of the best books I have read. Every historian and law student should buy it, every person interested in the truth. Thank you Andrew and Melissa🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
exactly how many books have you read?
Melissa Murray is a brilliant law mind and author ...
Thank-you both, for explaining the "slow-roll" by the U.S. Supreme Court, on the real - Trial of the Century! The dysfunction is epic & may explain the epitaph of the American Experiment story. Let's hope not & maintain Faith & Vote!
------- Psalm 23.
Judge Cannon & her being assigned to preside over the Espionage case could be a "tell". ---------- Psalm 91.
Agreed, I could listen to her talk all day
SCOTUS is a major disappointment. We have to do something about those people.
The Republican party has done nothing beneficial for this country in the last 100 years. They have over 70 cases stripping away the right of citizens as we speak.
Absolutely brilliant, my respects to all three. Lawrence as usual funny intelligent and so pleasing to watch and listen to. Andrew and Melissa are two of my favourite legal analyst s. More please. Thank you. 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I agree with you 1000%! Looking forward to reading their book.
I needed to see this on this morning. My favorite blooming cactus is in death throes (some plants consume themselves when they reach reproductive nirvana) my very old aunt passed away, my great grand-daughter miscarried in Germany, I am out of coffee, and the wheel fell off my walker and I cannot find my metric wrenches to repair it. I needed some political hope and a satiric chuckle, in the spirit of Dorothy Parker and the warm dryness of Edward R. Murrow and I had this cross my algorithm. Thank you!
@@jackstrubbe7608I hope you recover from every setback and sadness. ❤
especially I hope you find your wrenches ❤
@@cynthiadavis3102 ~ I hope he finds his wrenches because the U.S. Supreme Court seems to have found their screws.
Mr. O'DONNELL my name is Ken and I absolutely loved the program. I watch the last word almost nightly, and love the show. Continue to hold their feet to the fire my friend. Bravo!!
Me too
Thank you to all three of you for coming together and having this discussion. I admire all of you for your commitment to teaching the public who want to understand all of the many moving parts involved with our justice system and especially this case.
Thank you...Lawrence, Melissa and Andrew for your professionalism and great conversation!
Listen to the podcast strict scrutiny with Melissa and two other brilliant hosts.!
The podcast to listen to with Andrew, Melissa and Mary is called "Prosecuting Donald Trump"
she is fantastic
Yes!!!
@@cbalmori💯👍
This is what THE NEWS - MUST BECOME! Period. Loved the format and the atmosphere and the range and depth of frank discussion. This is public education via media at its finest. Thank you so very much. Bill and Jacqueline Dahl - Querétaro, Mexico. Yes - we are buying the book! Dry martini’s for Andrew anytime he is in Mexico. Melissa for Supreme Court Justice! Lawrence was spectacular - as usual. Our sincere thanks!!!!
Buddy you better take a pill and lie down.
Always great commentary. Thank you Lawrence.
Putting a witness who lied hey that's not law in Africa
Melissa and Andrew, are simply amongst the best of the American system.
Truly, they are guiding lights for the world of the extremely bruised American model.
A battered & bruised & bleeding, American model of democracy.
American model? Have you visitied factory farms, kill floors, hatcheries where make chicks are ground alive as they are of no use to this industry. Ever seen the slaughterhouse grounds and trucks lined up with terrified animals awaiting their last experience with humankind, so Americans can eat 11 billion farmed animals annually, which is part of why the disease care system costs $4.3 trillion annually. Model? America was born off violence, built itself an empire off violence, and it comes full circle in how the trump infestation wants to protect all that is vulgar but normalized. We in the animal rights movement see a very different side of this society, a side media protects to our peril.
My😊h😢😮hub😢😢😂😮😊 1:06:24
or possibly Melissa and Andrew are just simple But no they TRULY are guiding lights in the dark void of human ignorance. brilliant stunning simply fabulous with good hair and wonderful vocabularies What could be better. What could even come close to this astonishing display of erudite insight. Indeed what else could one wish for on this dreary earth.Thank you thank you thank you. if it were not for commenters like you the immense light of these great minds might be mistaken for a turd. thank you again
@@pamelahays-lx1tothe Republican party is a cancer on this country. They have done nothing to benefit this country in the last 100 years. Their states can't even pay their own bills. They have over 70 cases in court trying to strip away people's rights as we speak. They are enemies of the state.
this discussion and this chemistry was flawless. well done you three. i wish the best for your country this coming election. just remember, you are also electing a world leader the rest of us have to deal with as well.
Yeah... this should be a weekly show. The three of them get together and talk. For at least an hour. Yes, please. Thank you.
Absolutely.
NO thanks .If I want to hear the Maga narrative that we cant win an election unless Trump is in jail.or that jack Smith has "Lost the war" or that Fani Willis should recuse herself,all said by Weissman....I will watch FOX!!!!
I totally agree. This had me on the edge of my seat AND "yelling" at my laptap.
Three of my favorite reporters.
Throw in Neal Katyal and I'm in heaven....
BRILLIANT! THANK YOU!
Lawrence’s conviction about trump’s presidential defeat…from his lips to God’s ears.
It's up to ALL of us!
But, 4,000 Billionaires & the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court, with a rag-tag group of rebel-yell idolators, want 45 back, as their "front man", so brace Yourself and please - VOTE. ---------- Psalm 27.
God's the reason all this is happening!
To God laughing his ass off....
Volunteer and Vote.
Justice delayed is Justice denied.
Correct & not every American is a Patriot & some envision the U.S. as morphing into a cess-pool of predatory Capitalism, at home & abroad! Along with erecting the "Handmaiden's Tale". A dystopian nightmare & terror scape for sure!, So, if You care about Your Children & Grandchildren - get woke & Vote! -------- Psalm 21.
Absolutely agree 💯% 😥😥👎👏vote blue. 👍👍👍👏👏😥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Awsome. Thank you from a concerned Canadian
🇨🇦 too! Concur!
Light candles & pray for Us, so You can keep Your Ally! ---------- Psalm 23.
We in America are terrified for our country. People from other countries should write to THEIR own leaders to insist they demand better behavior from MY country’s government. If trump gets back into office, there will be global repercussions. Ukraine will fall to Russia. Israel will fall in the Middle East. The democracy dominos will fall one by one. You can’t stand by and watch it happen-nor can we.
Brilliant Conversation!
Thank You!
oh yes thank you thank you thank you oh great thinkers. tell us what to believe What to think What to do . TELL us that out of the dust we may rise if not to their level at least enough that we may humbly kiss the feet of the great minds that labor to inform those poor miserable followers that strive to worship at the temple of their immense wisdom. and thank you also to Cheriewolfsen for putting our admiration into words. I actually thought that they were crude and biased. Not anymore.
Thank you Melissa, Andrew and Lawrence for such an enjoyable hour. Ordered the book.
Mission accomplished. It is good followers like you that make the publishing business spin.
This is excellent! I wish we could have many more of this type of back-and-forth conversation without all the polemics and nonsense which seems prevalent on mass media today.
right No polemics here by golly. just the regular playbook devoid of distractions
This was SO good . . . I'm gonna buy the book, Esther.
Better get it quick the rush to buy is going to be intense.
A great conversation with 3 very knowledgeable and inspiring people 😊 substance and humor 💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wonderful visit...thank you to each of you!👍
Someone, please write a book on the Supreme Court’s dysfunction
Absolutely 💯
See Sheldon Whitehouse 's presentation on the court. There are several of them that cover the influence and corruption of this court.
I agree with Senator Whitehouse's support for implementing a standardized procedure to oversee the Supreme Court. This would make sure everyone knows what's going on and that the court is fair.
It's incredible that judges can decide when to hear cases, especially ones that are so important, like deciding the fate of a nation's democracy.
Of course, this is my personal opinion, an observant layperson.
Yes I have seen Senator Whitehouse speak also. Does a great job of what is going on.
I do hope none of "this" (political crimes) becomes "normal". Lawrence, please do more of these conversations.
Such a great book, just bought it yesterday. You did what lawyers do for themselves to keep track of something, first. Then you prepared something in the style of a briefing to the president, or to someone you report to, or an important client, only this one is the public. As Lawrence said, historians should be thankful for these archives. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏🏻
Waiting for my, weeks gone, pre-order to make it across the Pond to Herefordshire UK.
@@KernowekTim Be brave devoted one.
@KernowekTim thank you for caring so much that you ordered the book.... Just fyi, the troll "user" etc shows up everywhere. Be well. Best wishes to you.
@@cynthiadavis3102 OMG EVERYWHERE I am immensely gratified. I hardly work at it but in light of your encouraging words I will certainly double down. The lefties are so inadvertently funny pulling down their pants is like rolling off a log. If there was still a thumbs down option you would be driven in disgrace from the public square. But alas I guess it is up to me.
I like these three legal analysts, who are telling the public about the laws and legal matters in an understandable way. Their passion for the justice and laws are really great.
Thank you so much. That was such an intelligent, delightful yet sobering critical conversation.
I've loved every minute of this discussion. Thank you.
❤❤❤Andrew!
When Andrew Weissman is pessimistic, I'm scared.
Absolutely love this..
Lawrence, you can do this and I look forward to it!🎉
*Stop the Hammering!*
Do what pray tell? Maybe you two should get a room
@@user-in7kr1ys2m Over your head!!
@@user-in7kr1ys2m Move along, MAGA nut.
Thank you. This was a necessary discussion.
Melissa, andrew and Lawrence stretch my brain! I love it!
I definitely bought this book to understand everything going on with 45s trials. I'm surprised he isn't in prison yet.
I strongly believe that Trump will be in prison at some point
@elaineburnett. I sure hope so.
Andrew Weissmann is the only person who can make pending disaster humorous.
Excellent Format: Idea 💡 Public Consumption without Frills.
Bloody good.
Thanks to all
Awesome discussion!!
This was wonderful! Thank you!
Really enjoyed watching ❤❤
I personally am so "Trump weary" with all these damn "Trump indictments". I do appreciate this discussion, yet again, I am exhausted. I understand that "Lady Justice" moves slowly, yet I am so worn with all this "Trump" manipulation of the justice system which he other than lying is very good at doing. "Practice makes perfect"...
Exhausted??? 🛋️🤭
Imagine how Jack Smith feels. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to Europe permanently when this is over.
We can't afford to be exhausted. We have a lot to do.
Most folks aren't used to putting any effort into our country. That's how we got into this mess in the first place.
Well said ! I kept up constantly hoping Trump would be convicted any moment.....
but it just goes on and on and on, he gets older and older and older......
until it is at a point he won't have time left to get whats coming to him.
I find I don't need to really watch any longer,,,,,,,,, as much ! yes exhausted !
Biden Lies:
He said he was going to unite America; He accused his Border Patrol Agents of whipping Illegals crossing border. How he presented his uncle with the Purple Heart. Said he was at the top of his class. The Mandela story, the Corn Pop Story, the trucker story, the Puerto Rican community story, the Jewish community story, the Black community story, the College story said he ranked in the top of his class….he was 76th out of 85, the Law School story, the Scholarship story, the Outstanding Student story and the one where his grandfather died in the same hospital two weeks before the one he was born in. He said several police officers were killed by demonstrators during the J6 riots! Lied about sharing classified documents. Lied when he said none were labeled classified. Lied when he said that they were all locked in a metal filing cabinet! He said at least 16 times, he never talked to his son about his business dealings. He said 350,000,000 vaccinated in the U.S. (pop. Is now 334,000,000).
Just purchased my copy of "The Trump Indictments". Today, an Attorney representing Donald Trump in the GA. R.I.C.O. case, is arguing on his behalf. Both Melissa and Andrew's text, helped me understand the premise of the indictments, as well as the counts, against Trump, and other Defendants. But I've watched these two skilled MSNBC legal Specialists on what often appears a moment's notice at all hours of the night here in Texas, dissect these court cases, filtering legalize, with potential to boogle, the non-legal Viewers, mind. I am a retired Paralegal, and truly appreciate this labor of love, and expertise. The "Trump Indictments" is a must read for any law student, considering this profession. Yes, law is about understanding statutes, the constitution, and precedent. But more importantly, proper execution of judicial procedure and formality even with broad informed knowledge of law, is the foundation upon which, court cases are won, and often lost, in this country. So thank you Andrew, and Melissa, for this wonderful, gift.
Right on!
They are great!
This a wonderful conversation
A must see for anyone
The best satire I have heard on the broken USA Judicial System. Thank you Melissa, Andrew, and Lawrence. Brilliant!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Thank you all!!"
Thank you sensible, and thoughtful people. Keep up the good work!
Three of my favorite people.
What I like about this book is that it was written before these cases were heard and concluded. It'd be interesting to read this book retrospectively years after these cases have been concluded and judgement passed
I highly recommend listening to the weekly podcast Prosecuting Donald Trump with Andrew, Melissa, and Mary. If you listen to one thing during the week to keep up with these indictments that's the one!
I am sure that would be a great idea
You are optimistic to think these cases will be brought to trial and concluded.
This was very beautifully elaborated and informative.
Very insightful, very pertinent and yet very scary.
Jail time for Trump is Andrew's "one positive thing"?! I'll take it 🤣
Great 👍. Good in getting the info out there for the citizens of the world to understand...thank you ,🇩🇰
Wow, that was excellent and refreshing.
Andrew, just saw you speak last night at Drew. Brilliant as always! Can’t thank you and Melissa enough for writing this book. And, Lawrence, I watch you every night. Your understanding of politics and history has educated me and so many.
I need to get the book because, I’ve only gotten bits and pieces!
Try listening to their podcast called Prosecuting Donald Trump, you will get all the details on every indictment and trial
Love how the audience responds to Andrew's Supreme Court assessment on letting Trump have immunity...
Go Biden Harris. How long do we expect to deal w voting challenges? The Maga GQP chaos will continue I believe. We need impeccable voting. 💙
Absolutely Right!! I thought I was the only person looking at these issues! Given the experience of 2020 forward I haven't really seen anyone discussing the literal elephant in the room, ie Republicans refusing to accept free and fair election results AND the likelihood of Congressional GQPers then refusing to certify the electoral college votes. It feels asymmetrically diabolical, like we've allowed ourselves to be suckerd into playing a game, with clear, concise rules and neutral referees, all while the other team openly states, pre-game, that the rules aren't the rules OR the rules don't apply to them OR they'll use party wide lying about the rules/laws, ad nauseum. It is the asymmetrical nature of this that infuriates me!! Agreeing to the rules is quite literally a REQUIREMENT to play in the game,..... and yet, here we are. I fear that this has already gone way too far. A significant percentage of the country is delusional with regard to partisan political affiliation. Trump didn't just twist and warp old school conservatives, he freed many who can now be vile and racist in public. Most importantly though he attracted a small segment of the fringe that heretofore remained outside the political discourse tent altogether. This group is the toxic mix of white supremacists, Christian nationalist and anarchist bomb-throwers. These folks are the proverbial "my way or the highway" compromise=cowardice, etc, etc.
We need to be prepared for the worst case scenario, that the events of January 6, 2021, tragic as they were, serve as prologue to what comes next, and they don't care about "actually" winning an election to engage. All they need is enough people to be willing to lie and say they won. I know none of us want to have to think about this shit, but we must become they are counting on our exhaustion, our despair as we watch our high courts fail to hold Trump accountable. If this is going to end once and for all, WE will have to be the ones to end it.
Vote for Joe Biden 2024🇺🇸🔵🇺🇸🔵🇺🇸🔵🇺🇸🔵🇺🇸🔵
💯👍
I am encouraged by the volunteer turnout. It has exceeded the 2020 numbers--no one wants to lose democracy and our democratic freedoms. No sitting this one out; EVERYONE must vote!
For the next 30 years at least
If we had that u’d never win
IF he is elected, all projected and critically, well-based scenarios will be moot.
To Mr Weissmann: Thank you so much for your recent brave, unabashed comments on the corrupt aspects of our legal system. I in no way mean to diminish your colleagues like Mellissa Murray or Mary McCord, but you seem to have really taken the gloves off when it comes to your comments on the abuse the system inflicts on those without power, position or wealth. As a retired psychotherapist, I know the most powerful thing I ever gave a client was validation of the abuse they had suffered. Through your recent comments, you have given me, and I’m sure so many others, hope for the future. When the public knows there are honorable people like yourself and your distinguished colleagues in places of influence and justice, it helps us all to carry on. Your kindness and honor emanates from the screen. A bit of humble advice, you have a wonderful sense of humor that you should use more often in your appearances. God bless you, your family, friends and colleagues.
Thank you all for clarifying this whole mess!’
Brilliant, simply brilliant. Melissa, Andrew, Lawrence. Thank you all. KUDOS, BRAVO👏👏👏
"School Marm-vibes"..."Dolores Umbridge"... Melissa?!? That nailed Coney-Barrett's essense perfectly!
Really wonderful discussion
As a 64 years old Brit, this show is literally outstanding. It's everything that I needed to garner sufficient knowledge surrounding the Trump/ "MAGA" threats. Too many of the other You Tube media shows are too partisan, too extreme Left wing-ist. Bulging eyes, red-in-the-face emotionally fuelled hand-flapping / arm flailing gesticulations, raised voices/ rantings et al, are for the plebs. This discussion brings a level of easily assimilated, higher intellect, much needed to cut through the American political news media versions of the "Mad conductors of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" types. Thank you ever so much Melissa, Andrew and, of course, Lawrence. Vote wisely come November. Trump/"MAGA" are your domestic terrorists; be damn sure of that fact.
Wow. I watch a lot of TH-cam shows and, at least on the Democratic supportive sites, have not seen what you describe. Granted I don’t watch the “extreme left wing-ist” sites any more than I watch OAN, NewsMax, Fox. (Edit) I, like you, appreciate these sites and just found 92nd Street today.
Are u blind?
Lawrence, legal history is a thing.
Love this program. Please continue to have more. Regarding Judge Canon, is it probable that she wants to start the trial soon in order to call a mistrial and dismiss it altogether?
I’d like someone to talk about this here as well
Excellent conversation. Wish I got the ticket to go to 92 Y for your discussions. Next time. ❤. Thank you for your education and much much more.
I live in England and I ordered the book. I think it’s a great way to keep track of what is what with the different indictments.
I love that Melissa is referring to the male justices as ‘the Bro’s’! Loved this, thank you!!
In other country's, THE PEOPLE ARE OUT IN THE STREETS!!
AMERICANS???
🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️
Literally, the USA we tried to warn you that once Trump was elected there was no guarantee you would ever be rid of him. The USA bought into American Exceptionalism and condescendingly ignored the warnings of all those "lesser" countries not realising they are the exact same, susceptible to the same nationalism and weakness we outside the USA all tried to warn them about.
We tried to warn them decades before Trump, but the belief in American exceptionalism and American supremacy... Which IS nationalism. 😢
Outing those documents, names, etc....OUST CANNON😢😢😢😢
Great discussion, thank you
The Courts at all levels are doing their duty to uphold the "system of law", a structure with various levels of justice for various levels of wealth.
The People will vote, Trump will lose badly, the courts will be next to get cleaned up.
Please, do these every week!
Great program! Please have more extended interviews like this.
Great!!! Thank you
Great show, buying the book tomorrow!
Waiting for delivery of my copy here in the Netherlands.
Re: Prof. Murray discussing SCOTUS taking a case on cert, paraphrasing, 'with 6, they can lose one and still have the 5 needed'.
I worked for a state legislator. When leadership is doing a whip count on a bill that will adversely affect some members back in their districts, they let those members know they can vote "no" on this bill (almost like a conscience vote). However, SCOTUS should not behave like a legislature.
Yes Lawrence. Excellent. Audible has Ali Velshi reading and it is in Kindle so I expect its whisper synched so we can listen and follow in the Kindle. Thank you all so much. 💙
If it's Lawrence O'Donnell, I am watching!
Excellent discussion. Thank you Melissa, Andrew, and Lawrence.
Very helpful...thanks.
Thank you so much! I dont want to feel pessimistic about the Country but I need to know what's going on, in depth. I appreciate each of you and will get the book!!!
This is the perfect view for me. Three of my most favourite people on the planet. just sit back and listen. The amount of brain power on this stage. Amazing!
I so enjoyed this video.
Wow this sounds like a book i want to have now😊🤫😉⚖️😏🤗
Smart, funny adorable 1☮️💜🍿🍿✨️🍿 thank you
Such an enjoyable experience listening to these three brilliant people!
This was amazing! Thank you all so much.
Thank you all& listening from Fort Pierce..Melissa ❤
Amy Coney Barrett…very tightly veiled! I love that…very apt description!
Can we make it a gag?
Of course, she was put on SCOTUS to be the school marm, and to make John Roberts and his incrementialism irrevelant.
You Socratic scholars take us to the Greek agora - tertulia justicia - this should be a prime time hour - justice school - make america not great - BUT WISE! OR MAKE AMERICA KIND- VOTE BLUE!- it could be a 2 hour class ..tell gates or to sponsor - THE SOCRATIC AGORA …
OMG Lawrence from your mouth to Gods ears!! Please make this stop! I AM SO OVER DONALD DELAY TRUMP! I want him to retire in Federal prison and let history devore him!!! Please God!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I enjoyed this show it was very very informative and presented well! Thank You ❤👍👍👍👍
This was wonderful, I hope they do more of these conversations, Well Done!!!
This was so enlightening and I hung on every word. Love Laurence O and great choice in choosing these particular guest speakers. Definitely buying the book!
