Trump's Finances To Be Examined By Special Grand Jury - YouTube

Channel: MSNBC

[1]
this week's gotcha
[3]
is brought to you in part by the new
[5]
york district attorney's office
[8]
following news this week that manhattan
[10]
prosecutors would be convening a grand
[12]
jury
[13]
to investigate potential crimes by the
[15]
former president
[17]
and other employees of the trump
[19]
organization
[20]
i decided to address mr trump directly
[23]
and dig up
[24]
an old politics nation's standby the
[27]
memo to trump
[29]
we attentively shelved this uh segment
[32]
when
[32]
you left office but after decades of
[35]
behaving as though you were somehow
[37]
above the law
[39]
the legal walls finally seemed to be
[42]
closing in
[43]
and it felt like a good time to once
[45]
again address you
[47]
directly let's start with a quick recap
[50]
because even if the grand jury is
[54]
new your current alleged financial
[56]
crimes
[57]
seemed to fit your long-held business
[60]
practices
[61]
in atlantic city you stiffed some
[63]
contractors
[64]
violated federal money laundering laws
[67]
and then
[68]
in an industry with the tag line the
[71]
house always wins
[73]
somehow you managed to bankrupt two
[75]
casinos
[77]
and yet you walked away with a slap
[80]
on the wrist and millions of dollars so
[83]
then you cashed out and went into
[85]
education
[86]
this time defrauding thousands of
[88]
students hoping to learn
[90]
from your fake real estate university
[93]
and while you were finally forced to
[96]
close trump university
[98]
you never faced any real legal peril and
[101]
just paid a fine
[102]
and walked away this time into the white
[104]
house
[105]
where you abused executive privilege and
[108]
taxpayer money
[109]
fighting to hide your personal and
[111]
corporate financial records
[113]
for four years for four years at that
[116]
it wasn't until you were forced out of
[119]
office that those records were handed
[121]
over
[122]
to new york investigators and those
[124]
investigators didn't waste any time
[126]
they brought in forensic accounting
[129]
experts to sift through
[130]
decades of records from the trump
[132]
organization
[134]
combing through for fiscal wrongdoing
[137]
and while the district attorney's office
[139]
has plenty of legal expertise
[141]
they aren't leaving anything to chance
[143]
bringing in a
[144]
formal federal prosecutor with
[146]
experience in white collar
[148]
and organized crime given your long
[151]
history of
[152]
financial malfeasance it's no surprise
[156]
that the new york investigators have
[157]
found enough evidence to convene
[160]
a special grand jury what makes it so
[163]
special
[164]
well apart from considering what could
[166]
be the first indictment
[168]
of a former president in american
[170]
history
[171]
this grand jury will meet more often and
[174]
for a longer period of time
[176]
than a typical grand jury with decades
[179]
of evidence
[180]
investigators have been forced to
[182]
examine they might need
[184]
those extra weeks so to mr trump
[187]
i hear you've been lashing out ever
[189]
since you heard
[190]
the news about this grand jury and
[193]
that's a reasonable response
[195]
if you know their crimes they're likely
[197]
to find
[199]
after all that's a big part of the
[201]
reason you were so
[202]
desperate to win reelection so intent to
[205]
hide behind the shield
[207]
of executive privilege that you
[209]
concocted your big lie
[211]
that is still tearing at the very fabric
[214]
of our democracy
[215]
and by the way even if it's new
[219]
and in new york that we see in the
[222]
headlines
[223]
this week your election your election
[226]
scheming i should say has you under
[230]
criminal investigation in georgia too
[233]
to borrow an old tagline from your now
[236]
defunct reality television show
[238]
the american people have already spoken
[241]
and we said donald
[243]
you're fired so now you're a private
[246]
citizen like the rest of us
[248]
your faith is in the hands of the
[251]
criminal justice system
[252]
and i have a feeling it's going to say
[255]
what i say
[257]
i got you
