Should be dismissed today !!!
I am a constitutional attorney licensed in GA and this case is SO STUPID! I am so embarrassed that this case was ever brought. Everyone involved with this prosecution needs to be DISBARRED and maybe go to jail or worse (treason).
I am not a lawyer but even I can see that this is an unconstitutional case with improper application of laws. It is clearly election interference.
Many of us agree with you.
Lol, no you aren't :P if you were, you would understand this isn't a free speech case at all, no matter how much they defense wants to frame it at one. It is the actions taken, not the rhetoric being charged here, and if you were an attorney, you would know that.
This judge is a coward. He let Fani humiliate him in his own court by allowing her to act like a petulant child.
Exactly ...
What are you talking about?
He is failing his oath to be fair and impartial. Shameful.
@@GoodisBest4uHow exactly is he failing to be fair and impartial?
Y’all are actually delusional at this point…you don’t understand the law or our justice system obviously. But it’s crazy to sit here and watch this like a sports game…….you would go nuts if Biden did half of what Trump did. I mean yall already try all day to compare Bidens documents to trumps even tho it’s completely different…..it’s so sad what Trump has done to you guys.
This judge is already compromised.
The judge is full of crap, and biased in this case!
I would never vote for him !!!
This judge is way over his head !
This judge is messed up. Doesn't he know the constitution? SMH he should resign.
Bulldog Lawyer educating that judge. I would never vote for judge McAfee.
He does , but his job is to wall off ascension.
Judge McAfee needs to go!!!!! ASAP
What makes u think the one that is running against him for his judge seat will be better ? Could be worse!
He;s gone, JAG arrested him today or yesterday for treason for which he will be tried in military court. How he ruled on Sadow's presentation in this video. From Real Raw News. If this is not true, he could sue. Let's see if we see a McAfee sue Real Raw News.
The judge should withdraw, including the prosecutor. ALL OF THIS IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.
Stop all this injustice against President Trump!!!!!!!!!!!
32 Grand jury indictments. Na, let's let the law determine that.
@@manhandler There IS no more law. The Democrats threw law out the window a long time ago in favor of communism.
@@manhandler hows about No since the charges are nothing more than allegations & nothing more at this point & we all know the court rooms are weaponized
This judge knows damn well there is no case here. I don't know why he's letting this woman ruin him as she ruined herself. He's scared of her. She is in control of him.
32 indictments in a rico case across multiple states using fake electors. This 1st amendment defence is going nowhere.
Do you even realize what they are saying? They are saying it’s okay for Trump to LIE bout the election because of the first amendment…..they aren’t arguing the election was actually stolen because it wasn’t. You guys are missing the even bigger picture of what the court case is proving……
How do you think that he would be ruined for doing his job?
@@mega2250 He's not doing his job or he would have dismissed this whole case even before he dismissed Wade but at least should have dismissed Fanni as well. He's more worried about re-election than he is with being a moral unbiased judge. None of these cases against Trump are going to amount to anything. They are all clearly bogus and will be DOA once they reach the SC.
you sound very confused 😂 Jenna Ellis and Chesebro have already pleaded guilty to the charges - cant wait for them to appear with evidence that proves Trump's guilt. Excuse me - I must get back to prepping my popcorn!
This Lawyer of Pres Trump is great. 😊😊😊
God bless him, and God bless Pres Trump in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ Amen and Amen 🙏 from SAfrica Amen 🙏 🙌
The judge should be dis bared,fired,bought and paid for
@kennethpayne80 and trump should be in jail
I would never vote for McAfee!!
He thinks he'll be saved by the voters n reelected but I think that ship has sailed
This is your only chance to do your job right again Judge McAfee! Otherwise, you will very regret what you did regarding the Fani Willis case. Especially facing your young children someday.
Why is trumps team arguing that he’s allowed to LIE becuase of the 1st amendment? Instead of showing proof the election was stolen like Trump has said all along? Seems weird to me…….almost like they don’t have any proof……
Perfectly said
I would never vote for judge McAfee!!
The defense is setting the stage for Supreme Court case.
Good, enough of the Liberal political Judges ignoring the Law ...
The Supreme Court is already drowned with all Donald Duck other shyt in their laps! Omg!
@@LDGJJohnston-es1in and yet is still doesn't matter, because that is the Law!
@@Socrates21stCentury it’s also the law to not to try to overthrow the election. That’s the law too! Always trying to send everything to Supreme Court!

DISMISS AND THEN CHARGE FANI WITH PERJURY!
Time to find who is behind all these investigations.
Justice is behind it
kinda sick of these kinds of trains of thought.
clearly there is ample evidence for an investigation as a grand jury has deemed it so? These crimes are taped. we know who is investigating it. it is clear, as they are.. idk.. prosecuting the case?
Huh? It's a rico case with 32 indictments across multiple states.
@@nathandodge665 Hahahahaha .. thanks for the laugh ...
@@manhandler Include Disneyland for 33, because all these cases are fantasy ...
Steve Sadow makes perfect sense too me , and this motion in particular will really test the backbone of the judge, as this is clearly violations of first amendment protections and if he rules no, then this quickly goes to the supreme court.
No it’s not. This argument was already stuck down in his other case. It’s an absurd argument and will most likely be ruled the same way as Judge Churkan did.
@gr33kb0i
There are many cases where this argument prevailed. Do research before embarrassing yourself.

This guy is not right..my teacher said protected speech is not applicable when it's used for the commission of a crime like Trump and the 18 others did..
@@judydelisle5290 I guess he didn't work under fani like wade did.

Unlikely with 32 indictments by 2 grand juries in a rico case with fake electors. Has nothing to do with free speech. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater either.

I am an AMERICAN,I want my country back with law and order. I am voting TRUMP for President 2024, Have a great day everyone!
The only courage in the Court room this judge has is to still be sitting on the Bench. He has to know the public sees him as weak, unskilled, ignorant ,undertrained, inept. His expression is filled with shame as well it should be. Save face Judge. STEP DOWN. OPEN A LAW OFFICE. You have no business sitting on the Bench.
Judge doesn't seem to agree with deciding the Constitutionally of charges before trial, that's wrong to me
This judge and fanni need the hold hands and walk out the front door of the courthouse never to return...

Political prosecution.
Criminal prosecution
Prosecution, or Persecution?
@@brookgraves368 get a dictionary
Nope. Rico Rico!
32 Grand jury indictments.
Freedom of speech is a constitutional right of American people.
yes, it is. what the 1st Amendment has to do with Trump calling up elected officials in Georgia and asking them to 'find' him just enough votes to win that state is a question I doubt anyone can offer a reasonable answer to.
@@andrewreynolds9371 Anything can be taken out of context when you have an agenda.
Yep, and it in no way protects a candidate who has his party force a state's election officials to take a backroom phone call in which said candidate directly asks said officials to "find" him enough votes to change the outcome. That's illegal in every state in the Union. Criminal conspiracy is not and never has been protected speech.
Carrying out a coup isn't a constitutional right. Neither are fraud, falsifying records, violating the espionage act, criminal conspiracy, destroying evidence, sexual assault, etc.
@@imontime77 please find the context under a rock where you left your common sense
As a Canadian, I really appreciate the first amendment, as we don't have free speech in Canada. The first amendment helps us by extension and I hope it stays alive.
That is why they are going after it and many of our other constitutional rights. This isn't just an attack against our rights by Marxist and Fascist elements in the US government, but the UN, certain billionaires (who youtube will censor your comments for mentioning), and other elites around the world. They think that if they can take the citizens of the US down everyone else will fall in line. That is why this isn't just a battle for the citizens of the US alone, but everyone, everywhere who wants to keep their freedom must push back against government overreach.
@@danbdanb3 Rofl... use it or stfu
Remember when they froze Canadian bank accounts 😂. Canada is heading into bad territory
That's why they take our guns. Guns protect all of our supposed rights. We don't have free speech here either.

The judge is allowing Fani, who committed perjury to continue to practice in his courts. How can that be legitimate?
Because no perjury was proven.
@@gr33kb0i but she should be charged.
@@cindynok so the whole “innocent till proven guilty” concept should be thrown out the window and we should find people guilty based on feelings alone. I wonder how you’d feel if that same standard was applied against Trump.
@@gr33kb0i Enjoy your nap? When you get fully awake go find out how Big Fanni, Nathan Wade, and Terrence Bradley perjured themselves and Big Fanni lied more than Wade and Bradley combined. She would rather climb a telephone pole and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth!! She started out by saying there was nothing going on between the then it was yes but they didn't have a romantic relationship until April 2022. Their affair actually began in 2019. Then she said she didn't break any laws and she paid Wade back in cash. I could go on and on but I don't want to deprive you of learning something for yourself. But yes, she was caught in a lot of lies under oath and even lied in the church. She has no conscience, morals, or shame because she is evil!
@@gr33kb0i Fanni applied the guilty verdict against Trump the day he was arrested in Fulton County.
If you value people’s constitutional rights, and understand the argument over the 1st amendment constitutional rights (freedom of speech) as he is arguing here, then you’ll be watching this very closely and critically! If his 1st amendment constitutional rights are not fairly and honestly protected here, it can and rightly should be argued at the Supreme Court level! The Supreme Court would, constitutionally, have to maintain the 1st amendment constitutional rights as they are protected and guaranteed by the constitution and related laws.
First amendment doesn’t cover this at all and trying to apply it here is t protecting the first amendment. Why don’t think first amendment would protect this in any way?
Excellent argument.
Steve Sadow is in a class above every other attorney there. Hope he gets paid.
well he failed to get Willis off the case, so he has been a huge disappointment up until now
This is an argument that was already attempted and stuck down. This isn’t some unique strategy they haven’t already tried.
29 Brenda's made an important point in my mind. An appeal should be before a different judge.
Has everyone forgotten Fani is the daughter of a Black Panther? Of course she has no respect for protocol, the Constitution or morality.
The judge is in a contested primary election. He isn’t tossing this case.
Then, he is A dishonest and unfair judge.
And there for he will not get all the votes he hopes for! No one will that goes against our real president djt
He's a Democrat too and contributed to Fani's campaign, yes? That sounds unbiased.

This is the difference between a lawyer that practices his trade and an elected lawyer.

@@enriquemireles8947why would you hate elections? Because you can’t win one.
Thank you, Mr. Saddow, but I've already made my mind up in this trial.
If this doesn’t get dropped a lot of politicians are going to be hit with the same charge. From a non biased view this shouldn’t have reached this point. This is a very dangerous path and I think some people don’t realize the implications of what happens to their individual rights if this gets a guilty verdict.
Nope! You can't plan a crime and then cry "free speech"!
Hit, what??? Your Non-biased view is actually biased. Pray it goes to trial, from a biased view that Tump is guilty as sin.
We literally heard him say, "find me 11,000 votes. He wanted to steal our votes for his own personal power. And you still defend him? Whats dangerous is allowing a politician to just turn elections over cuz they lost.
32 grand jury Indictments
How many democrats in the jury? Atlanta and NYC...

Awesome a lawyer with truth and moral standards a real blessing to democracy and freedom of first amendment speech definitely a man of GOD!!!
Trump did not have to be here.
You're wrong. It's not "he didn't have to be there". His attorney, Sadow had to tell the Judge that trump waved being present as did all the otber attorneys whose clients weren't there. This is basic "housekeeping issues" at this point. It's not the trial. Try READING rule 43 in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Well stated. The person on trial in Fulton County Georgia should be Fani Willis.
WE HAVE ALLOWED POLITICIANS TO DO INSIDER TRADING, TAKE BRIBES PASSING POLICY FAVORING GLOBAL BUSINESSMEN, AND TO OPEN THE BORDER HANDING OUT MONEY UNCONSTITUTIONALLY ALL AT OUR EXPENSE. WE STOP UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS TODAY, OR THERE WILL BE NO TOMORROW FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY. OUR PROTECTIONS ARE VIOLATED VIOLENTLY WITH LAWSUITS WHILE VIOLATING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
Nono of that has anything to do with this case.
So I think you're saying it's not okay to lie and that everyone should be held accountable for what they say and do. I can agree with that. But like @charlesljones2454 says, I think you've gone beyond the issues being argued in Georgia.
Is your point that if others are criminals then we should allow Trump to be one!!??
That's why he's being prosecuted and indicted 32 times by a grand jury twice. Your grabbing for straws as they already have convicted 4 of his co-conspitators and took their deposition for being a witness in a fake electors Rico case. Keep dreaming buddy
For this to even be considered for debate itself is unconstitutional. The law of the land has already been settled. It is clear that our inalienable rights must be taught and publicized for all to know and understand...
When you break the law you should be held liable. 32 indictments by a grand jury isn't debatable.
Sadow is right.
God bless President Trump and his family and lawyers!
If the government can prosecute all who speak against it and levy taxes upon those people to fund those prosecutions then the people speaking against the government will have no choice but to remain silent in the face of tyranny or take up arms. Clearly, a civil society must allow political speech, true or false, without prosecution to promote a stable representative government.
You can't plan a crime and then cry "free speech"! Find something else to cut and paste!
We are in a time that the judge has to look like a tool for the elite but has to bite his lip because those who dont know shall be pointing out all tyranical fallisies and not understand
No one said otherwise. Actually the last time trumps lawyers tried this argument judge Chutkan specifically addressed it in her ruling. No one is trying to silence political speech, but speech is not protected when used in the furtherance of a crime.
