“Defining moment” for Trump

Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle about new reports that reveal Special counsel Jack Smith has obtained a 2021 recording in which Donald Trump appears to brag about having a classified document related to Iran, suggesting the former president understood both the legal and security concerns around his possession of such restricted information. “It’s going to shape up, I would think, from people who we’ve spoken to, as a defining moment, not only for the Republican Party but for the country because if the words espionage or treason are even hinted at in the filing documents when, and if, an indictment is brought against the former president, people are going to have to finally make up their minds. There’s got to be enough of this talking about, ‘oh, he’s a tough guy. I like how he talks, he’s a tough talker. And the stuff about the women, that it’s all made up. You know, they’re after him because he’s Donald Trump’—all that stuff. That’s going to go out the window,” says Barnicle. See the discussion here.
