Welcome to another edition of the Chicks on the Right podcast. Today, we
are very excited to have with us Mike Davis, who is the founder of
the Article three project. He has served in all three branches of the federal
government. He's a practicing attorney, and he is up to speed on all
things related to the Trump cases that are that he's that President Trump is currently
facing right now, namely, as of this recording today on Tuesday, May
twenty eighth, we're hearing closing arguments today and it's possible we could get a
verdict as early as this week. What do you expect to see once the
jury comes back with their verdict, Mike, What I expect to see out
of this corrupt, partisan, rigged process is an unjust result. I think
that this New York judge and prosecute, these prosecutors in this jury are going
to find President Trump guilty, and they're going to find President Trump guilty of
a non crime. He's guilty of running for president of the United States.
And I can explain that. Let's look at how this process is partisan in
corrupt. You have what are what happened allegedly was back in two thousand and
six, then private citizen. Donald Trump allegedly had an affair with Stormy Daniels,
which Stormy Daniels denied up until recently. In President Trump has consistently denied.
And in twenty seventeen, President Trump settled a nuisance claim. He allegedly
paid her money and had her sign a non disclosure and a confidentiality agreement,
so called hush money, which is very routine for business people and for businesses.
I've been a lawyer for nearly twenty years. I have settled these nuisance
claims routinely. It's not a crime. It is not a crime to settle
a nuisance claim. It's very routine in the legal system. And they President
Trump's accountants book this in his private books, not his business books, his
private books in twenty seventeen as a legal expense. I don't know what else
you would call the settlement of a nuisance claim other than a legal expense.
Right, So you have this legal expense in twenty seventeen, and the prosecutors
in this case, this Soros funded Manhattan da Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on
the fact that he was going to get Trump, looked at this case before
and said there's no crime here, So did the prior Manhattan DA before Alvin
Bragg sie Vance, So did the Federal Election Commission, so did the Manhattan
US Attorney. It wasn't until Matthew Colangelo got deployed from the Biden Justice Department.
Matthew Colangelo was a senior Biden Justice Department political appointee, was the acting
number three during the transition, and at the initial few months of the first
few months of the Biden administration, he was the acting Associate Attorney General and
then he became the number two to the number three. Matthew Colangelo worked in
the Obama Justice Department under Eric Holder and Tom Prez. He worked under in
the Civil Rights Division. He worked under the Obama Labor Department under Secretary Tom
Perez, and then when Tom pres went to be Obama's DNC chairman, Matthew
Colangelo went into the Obama White House to handle labor relations for Obama. And
then for the four years of the Trump presidency, Colangelo went to New York
to the Attorney General's office to run lawfare against President Trump during all four of
his years, and then Colangelo got tapped to be the acting number three in
the Biden Justice Department, which is a very important job. You oversee the
entire civil side of the Justice Department, civil civil rights, anti trust,
tax environments, Office of Justice programs, the grants, the Cops program.
It's a huge portfolio. Colangelo left that huge portfolio to go be a line
attorney in Bragg's office to run this unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former president,
the first time ever that there's been a criminal prosecution of a former president.
And again, their legal theory is completely bogus. They're trying to say the
settlement of a nuisance claim is somehow not a legal expense, that is,
somehow a bookkeeping misdemeanor under New York law. Under New York statute, if
you have if you have incorrect entries in your business books, not your personal
books, and your business books, those could be bookkeeping misdemeanors. But these
were in President Trump's private books, not his business books. And again,
a legal expense is a legal expense. I don't know what the hell you
would what the hell else you would call that? And this was from two
twenty seventeen, so the Statute of Limitations has long long since passed on this.
So why how is this even happening. And why are there so many
people that you see all the talking heads, there's so many people that are
just like, oh, this is I mean, he's completely guilty AND's so
obvious because we have the testimony of Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, who are
known credible witnesses. So how are people on so opposite sides of this when
it seems like from your perspective as an attorney, and Jonathan Turley and you
know, all kinds of other prominent attorneys are saying this is ridiculous. How
can there be anybody that doesn't see it's ridiculous because they're partisan. They are
Biden Democrat partisan hacks who are engaged in law fare and election interference against President
Trump. And they've taken this this this book keeping entry from seven years ago.
They pretend it's a book keeping misdemeanor. The statute of limitations has long
since expired, so it's time bar And so in order to resurrect this zombie
case against Trump, that the Friern, Manhattan DA Civance, the Manhattan US
Attorney, the Federal Election Commission, and Alvin Bragg himself declined to bring until
Colangelo deployed from the Biden Justice Department to bring the zombie cases. They had
to turn this time barred misdemeanor somehow into a felony, and they're trying to
do that by saying that Trump in two thousand. I think this is what
their current theory is is. It changes quite a bit. They've never explained
their legal allegations. Even though the trial is over, their enclosing arguments,
their injury instructions, and they're about to reach a verdict, a guilty verdict,
they have not explained what their legal theory is. And I think the
legal theory is something along the lines of that Trump put this in his books
in twenty seventeen. He committed this book keeping misdemeanor for calling a legal expense
a legal expense, and it was to cover up another crime. And the
problem is that they're not the Bragg Colangelo are not explaining what that other crime
is. Was it a federal campaign finance violation? If that's the case,
why wouldn't the Federal Election Commission do something about this, or the Manhattan US
Attorney? And how could a book keeping entry in twenty seventeen in your private
books affect the election in twenty sixteen. So that theory is not really holding
up very well. So maybe it's a different legal theory. Maybe it's under
New York state statute, you know, this federal maybe it's state election law.
But they haven't explained what it is, what it is. They have
not told Trump what the legal allegations are. And here's the problem. We're
having jury instructions and it seems like this judge, this sorrow, this Manhattan
judge, this Democrat Manhattan judge one Marshawan, who donated to Biden in twenty
twenty, who donated to another anti Trump cause. Both of those donations are
illegal under New York statute. Judges can't donate to political campaigns. Judge Murshan
got reprimanded this several months ago. We just learned about it. That didn't
deter him. His daughter, Lauren Machan is raising millions of dollars off of
this criminal case over which Judge Mushaon, her father is presiding, requiring Judge
Morschon's recusal under New York statute. That's not just me saying this. That
is a former federal Clinton judge went on Caitlin Collins' show on CNN on April
fifth and said that he had to recuse, and how did he respond to
that? He retaliated against Trump with this illegal, unconstitutional gag order where Trump
can't mention the facts that Lauren Mahon is raising millions of dollars off of this.
She gets a percentage of this. She has a financial stake in this
prosecution, in this trial over which her father's presiding, requiring his refusal.
So he's corrupt, he's partisan. He donated to Biden another anti Trump cause.
The prosecutors are partisan, they're campaigning on getting Trump. They're coming from
the pidon Justice Department and the Obama White House. And so this judge is
going to give jury instructions today and he's not even going to tell the jury
that the jurors that they have to unanimously agree on what that second crime is.
They can just kind of bring it up. Three jurors can think it's
a federal campaign violation, three jurors can think it's a state campaign violation,
you know. Three jurors can just think it's something else. It seems like
the judge is going to even instruct the jury that they don't even have to
find that it was a second crime, that it was just a second bad
act, and they don't have to agree whether it's a crime or a bad
act, what crime it was, just you know, just kind of make
it up. And here's the bigger problem, the jury selection process. So
you have a corrupt judge and a partisan judge, you have partisan prosecutors.
The jury selection process. This jury that's going to consider this case, it
comes from a Manhattan jury that voted eighty seven percent for Joe Biden. And
they further Judge Marshawn, Matthew Colangelo, and Alvin Bragg further weed it out
the Trump the potential jurors who followed Trump on social media, So the three
people in Manhattan who followed Trump on truth, but they didn't weed out the
Biden social media followers. And so this is a rigged jury pool with rigged
jury instructions and a corrupt partisan judge and a partisan prosecution. And then look,
let's look at the witnesses. You have, the star witnesses. You
have. You have story Made Daniels, a membo porn star who has changed
her story several times. She wrote a letter in twenty eighteen saying this didn't
happen, and now she's peddling her porn site on Twitter. Now x it's
her penned tweet on Twitter, and she can't. She testified that she hates
Trump, that she has a vendetta. The others star witness is Michael Cohen,
this disbarred attorney, serial persia convicted felon and now we learn who embezzled
from President Trump. Hated President Trump has a bias because President Trump didn't put
this clown in the Trump white House after Trump went one, he wanted to
be the White House counsel, which is just absolutely laughable. And you know
he's handling TikTok videos where he's making money trashing Trump on TikTok. Trump is
gad. Trump cannot mention Colangelo. Trump cannot mention Lauren Mashan. Trump cannot
mention Stormy Daniels. Trump cannot mention Michael Cohen. Even though Stormy Daniels and
Michael Cohen are trashing him, he can't respond. They should be gagged.
Gag orders are supposed to protect the criminal defendants during his trial, elimited time,
place, and manner, restriction on First Amendment rights free speech rights to
protect the defendant. These Democrat prosecutors judges have turned the Constitution on its head
by gagging the defendants, so he can't respond to these attacks. Trump can't
even talk about the fact that the Manhattan jury pool voted eighty seven percent for
Joe Biden, let alone the fact that Breshan and Colangelo and Bragg rigged the
jury selection process to bounce the Trump social media followers, but not the Biden
If Trump, do they know that though? Do they? Like? Does
the I know Trump can't talk about it because the gag order, But does
the jury know all of these relationships and all of the corrupt processes that have
taken place to get them where they are? And they had time away this
weekend? I mean, that's the thing. Like anybody that saw the disastrous,
you know, cross examination of Cohen, you think they went home for
a long weekend a Memorial Day, and they probably were persuaded again back to
like the dark side. You know, that's the thing. They had a
long weekend to get everything anything. If they even remotely thought, Okay,
well maybe Trump isn't guilty, you know what I mean, if they were
already like these liberal freaks and they were like, well, maybe Trump isn't
as bad, then they have a long weekend to get pursued, you know
what I mean. It's like to get jaded again back into that thinking because
we've had all this, We've had this time away. So that's the thing.
It's like, if if they were educated at all on any of this
stuff, they're going to get they're going to go right back to where they
were because they've had all this, this time away from the case. So
look, I just don't know if they had an opportunity to know well,
And people are like, there are two lawyers on this jury panel, so
you know, obviously these lawyers are going to be fair. I don't think
people understand how Manhattan lawyers think. First of all, if you're a Trump
supporter, there's very little chance a Manhattan law firm is going to hire,
right, So if you're at a Manhattan law firm, you're almost certainly a
Democrat, You're almost certainly a liberal. But remember, if any of these
things this judgment are any conservatives, right, Donald Trump is the is probably
the probably the only conservative in that courtroom right now in his attorney. So
it's I mean, it's a process. God, what a joke. I
mean it's you know, it's madness. It's absolute madness. So so if
you know, if a guilty verdict does come down, then what then what
I mean, it's because there are people out here like us who talk about
his cases, all four of them actually, and I mean a lot of
us are out here just shaking our heads. I mean, we feel like
this emboldens President Trump. We feel like a lot of these well, especially
this one, which is completely bogus, it emboldens him. It makes him
even stronger in the polls. It makes it because a lot of people are
looking at this and thinking all the things that you just talked about, Mike,
We're just shaking our heads. Oh my god, this is inane.
It's all rigged. It's just completely rigged. It's obviously political in nature.
It's a witch hunt. And so you know that, I feel like the
backlash will be that he will just become more popular, don't you think?
Yeah? I do think so, And I've predicted that for the last twenty
two months of the Article three projects, since the mar A Lago rate,
when we've been out there at the Article three project, we've done over thirty
five hundred media hits, supporting and defending President Trump, constant social media,
constant opinion pieces. We've explained to the American people very clearly that this is
Biden Democrat lawfare and election interference on many different fronts, and the American people
see it. And the American people are not going to accept that these Democrats
prosecutors and judges and witnesses in these Democrat hell holes of New York, DC
and Atlanta. The American people are not going to let them pick the next
president of the United States. The American people gets a pick the president of
the United States on November fifth, twenty twenty four. So what's the appeals
process like? So if a guilty verdict comes down, what are his attorney's
next moves? And then how likely is it to get turned over on appeal?
I think it's very likely that eventually this will get overturned on appeal.
It should look Trump did not commit any crime whatsoever. It's not a crime
to settle a nuisance claim. Right, there's no crime here, which is
so outrageous. They haven't even explained to Trump what the crime is. Right,
and the trial's over, How can you defend yourself in a criminal trial
if you don't know what the crime is. They have not told him what
the crime is. And even if there were an alleged crime, they did
not come up with the required evidence to show that. That just show that
Trump intended to commit and did commit any crime. That Stormy Daniels and Michael
Cohen and these other witnesses are just not credible, right and so but even
like like I said, even though that Trump should not have been charged with
the crime, you should not be found guilty of a crime. I would
be very stunned actually if he's not because of this rigged, partisan, corrupt
process. And then I think that this judge is going to impose a prison
sentence on Trump. At a minimum, he's going to put Trump on probation
and try to control him during the rest of this presidential campaign. Whether it's
home confinements, Trump has to go into the probation office, you know,
every twice a week or whatever it is. And so Trump realistically cannot be
on the campaign trail because Judge Murchon, think about it this way. Judge
Muchon's daughter Lauren is making raising millions of dollars right now for the Democrats,
for Joe Biden, for Kamala Harris for Adam Schiff. If he doesn't deliver
for Joe Biden and these Democrats, her career is done. Right. Democrats
eat their own and so Judge Murchon has to note that he has to deliver
here for the Democrats. If he does not deliver for the Democrats, Laurd
Machhan's political career for the Biden Democrats is a that is a clear bias.
That that's why he should have recused, That's why he's corrupts he didn't recuse.
He retaliated against Trump with an unconstitutional gag order for even mentioning her name
even the campaign. His campaign can't even post a New York Time story mentioning
her name, or Trump goes to Jaim that's saying that's how that's how bad
this trial is. And so how does the appellate process work. The jury
finds him guilty, the judge convicts, the judge sentence sentences, He almost
certainly serves the sentence while the appeals going is going forward, and so Trump
would appeal to the New York Appellate Division, which is their their court of
appeals. These New York courts are stacked with leftists. They're the ones who
have allowed all this to happen. During the motions to dismiss that Trump has
filed saying there's no crime here, the motions to lift the gag order,
because it's unconstitutional to gag criminal defendants. And if anyone in America must have
the constitutional right to speak out against the prosecutor, against the judge, against
the staff, against the witnesses, against the process, against their biases,
it is a criminal defendants who has that constitutional right to speak out. Under
the first sixth and fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, you don't gag criminal defendants.
If a criminal defendant is truly threatening witnesses, witness tampering, or obstructing
justice, you charge him with those crimes. But what they've done here is
put this illegal, unconstitutional prior restraint on a defendant's constitutional rights to speak out
against this rigged, corrupt partisan process. Is particularly bad when that criminal defendant
is a former president, and it's even worse when that former president is the
leading presidential candidate. You have a judge, this bias corrupt judge in New
York City telling a presidential candidate what he can and can't say on the campaign
trail what his campaign canon can't post on social media. They again, if
they post, if the campaign post a New York Times story mentioning Alvin Bragg,
not Alvin Brad Matthew Colangelo or Lord Mashan or Michael Cohen or Stormy Daniels
or this, this jury pull is eighty seven percent Biden voters. Trump goes
to jail. According to Judge Marshan's gaget. So the appeals process, I
mean, I get that there's that's got its own issues, But given the
fact that this is a presidential race, will there be any consideration or expedition
given to the appeals process? Or will could it be years before that gets
sorted Like how quickly can we get that sorted out? That's the point that
the Biden Democrats know that this case will eventually get reversed on appeal because there's
no crime, and even if there is an alleged crime, there's no evidence
right, and there's no due process and there's no equal protection. This is
one of the case study and one of the worst criminal prosecutions ever from a
constitutional perspective. This is what would happen in a third world Marxist hell hole
like North Korea and Zimbabwe. These appeals take years and they know that.
That's why. Look, the Biden campaign today is doing a campaign rally in
front of the courthouse, right. That just shows you how political this is.
Right that they have this whole corrupt, partisan, rigged process because Biden
fears Trump will beat Biden like a drum on November fifth, twenty twenty four.
So they just want to do what you do in Zimbabwe, and that's
throw your political opponents in prison. They want to be able to say that
Trump is a felon before November fifth, twenty twenty four, because then they
think that's the one way that Biden can win this election. Fortunately, the
American people see through this and that a lot of people are having the same
reaction that you two are, that you're disgusted by this and it's going to
backfire, and the Half three project is going to make sure that happens.
I'm sorry us half of us are test admia. The other half are delighted.
They're delighted to say, ah, he's been indicted and he's this,
and he's already a criminal, and they're already naming him as a criminal when
he's not. I mean half of the country I think is delighted by this,
and then the other half we're like, this is disgusting. Yeah,
I would say I don't know if half is. I don't know if half
is. I think that there are the hardcore Democrats about forty five percent of
the country who might be delighted by this, and I think that between like
fifty five and sixty percent of the American people are really repulsed by this.
And I hope that is backfiring because you're seeing people that don't pay attention to
politics, the people who just show up on election day and vote, don't
pay attention. They're tuning into this and they do not like what they see.
And you know who particularly does not like what they see, Black men.
Remember that. That's why I think Joe Biden is bleeding out support is
black support. Black Americans make up thirteen percent of the population. They vote
ninety five percent Democrat, right, and so Democrats take them for granted.
Republicans ignore them. But I would say this, I always remind Republicans Republicans
don't need to win the black vote. We just need to win fifteen or
twenty percent of the black vote instead of five percent. Of the black vote,
because if Republicans win fifteen percent instead of five percent, that's a one
point three percent swing in the overall election. If it's if Republicans are winning
fifteen percent of the black vote, it is very hard for Democrats to win.
If Republicans win twenty percent of the black vote, it is impossible for
Democrats to win. Yeah, I just I think it's a terrifying abuse of
power. I look at it as and I know Trump says this a lot.
If they can do it to him, they can do it to me.
They absolutely could do this to me. I am a nobody, And
the fact that they are doing this to him, and it's such a it
is just on display for everybody to see. Everybody in this country should be
repulsed by everybody because they could do this to any of us if they can
do it just under Yeah, there they are. Look, they're not just
going after Trump. They're going after his top aids like Steve Bannon and Peter
Namarrow. Peter Navarro is sitting in prison right now. Steve Bennon's going to
prison. They're going after his attorneys like Jeff Clark and John Eastpan. They're
going after his supporters on January sixth, even the people who were there peacefully
and merely allegedly trespassed onto the capital land, not even into the capitol or
being charged. Grandmas who truck you know, so called truspassed and took selfies.
They're going after parents outreached by gender chaos and the resulting rapes and high
school bathrooms. They're going after Christians, little old Christian ladies who are praying
outside of abortion clinics while they give amnesty to Biden and Hunter and James Biden,
every scumbag Biden who's taken tens of millions of dollars from China, from
Russia, from Ukraine, from Kazakhstan. Although the worst trouble spots around the
world have every Biden family member, it seems, except for the six year
old granddaughter who they finally claimed under political pressure on their payroll. James camer
has tracked over twenty million dollars from these bad foreign countries into the Biden's bank
accounts. They give amnesty to BLM and ANTIFA rioters, the much more deadly
and destructive BLM and ANTIFA writers two billion dollars in damage, dozens of people
killed, just a terror around the country. The Portland Federal Courthouse attacked on
a nightly basis for months. Senator Ran Paul attacked as he's leaving the White
House. The Secret Service Guard station torched, Saint Johge Church torch. Amnesty
for them, Amnesty for the abortion industry. Activists who are terrorizing Supreme Court
justices and their families outside of their homes, docks in them and terrorizing them
outside of their homes, obstruction of justice under federal statue. You don't have
a First Amendment right to protest outside of anyone's home because they can't escape.
You certainly don't have the First Amendment right to obstruct justice by threatening intimidating judges
and their families outside of their homes. Right. This is doxing judges leads
to deadly consequences. It almost led to the assassination of Kavitol, his wife
Ashley, their two teenage daughters, that led to the assassination of Judge Esther
Saulas and her husband's son Daniel mart got seriously wounded when they docked. Or
this is a deadly game that they're playing. The Hamas terrorists who are terrorizing
Jewish Americans, particularly Jewish students on college campuses. The Biden Justice Department gives
them amnesty while they politicize and weaponize the Justice Department. And these Democrat ags
in Das too grafter Trump, his top aids, his lawyers, his supporters,
parents, Christians. This is this is unacceptable, this is these are
republic ending tactics by Biden and these Democrats. This is how the Roman Republic
fell. It was. And then I keep trying to say I'm fighting to
save democracy democracy, and he's running on it. He's running on that platform
of I'm going to save democracy. It's disgusting. He's going to save democracy
by throwing your opponent off the ballots in Colorado and maids. So you're the
voters don't even have a choice. We're going to save democracy, according to
Biden, by destroying democracy. Yeah. So okay, So before we let
you go, because now now that you've explained like how you think this is
going to go, and that it could be years before it's overturned on appeal,
let's assume that that happens at some point. Will there be or can
there be counter suits or some sort of consequences for the players involved, Can
can the judge be I don't know. Can there be some sort of accountability
for him to even be doing this, to have not recused himself for example,
like will there be anything that can be done about how corrupt this whole
thing has been? And the Article three project is working on this now,
So are great congress people like at least Aphonic from New York. There are
Barn't complaints being filed, there are judicial misconduct complaints being filed. They're going
to be civil lawsuits filed. And then when the Trump forty seven Justice Department
is back on day one, they need to open a criminal probe because this
is an obvious criminal conspiracy by President Biden, his attorneys like Jonathan Sue,
his Attorney General, Jack Smith, Matthew Colangelo, j Bratts, Tish,
James, Fanny Willis, Nathan Wade, Alvin Bragg. The list goes on
and on. These judges. This is a criminal conspiracy to violate President Trump's
federal civil rights, conspiracy against rights under eighteen USC. Two forty one.
It's not just Trump, it's his top aids as lawyers and supporters, as
January six supporters. This is a criminal conspiracy that the Biden Justice Department,
these judges, these witnesses, these das, their staffs. This is a
criminal conspiracy to violate the civil rights of President Trump and his supporters and his
aids and his lawyers because they have politicized and weaponized our justice system to go
after Trump with bogus charges. They don't care if the charges are lawful or
not. With illegal gag orders, there are going to be severe legal,
political, and financial consequences come January twentieth, twenty twenty five. So I
would say to all these Biden operatives inside and outside of government, like Andrew
Weisman, I would say, lawyer, because there are going to be there's
going to be a reckoning. I love that, And actually that's the perfect
way to close out this show with you, because I wanted to end it
on sort of a high note and that that helps me a little bit,
because man, it was doom and gloom in there for a little bit,
Mike, and I know it's bad, but I needed something to hang onto
and accountability is something to hang on too, and I know that's what Article
three project is all about. Where can people learn more about that and about
you? Thank you very much. It's Article three project dot org article number
three Project dot org. You can take action there. One of the action
items is contacting your members of the House and the Senate to defund this law
fair intil after the election. You can donate there or lean and mean and
we'll spend the money well, and you can follow us on social media at
article three project dot org. Thank you so much for being with us and
giving us the rundown, because this is really really helpful for those of us
who aren't as plugged in every single day as you are. We really appreciate it than
