Joyce Vance: 本集讨论了特别检察官杰克·史密斯对前总统唐纳德·特朗普在华盛顿特区的选举干预案中重新提起诉讼,以及史密斯敦促第十一巡回上诉法院恢复对特朗普在佛罗里达州机密文件案中的指控。此外,还讨论了电报创始人兼首席执行官帕维尔·杜罗夫在法国面临的刑事指控,指控他允许其通讯应用程序上进行犯罪活动。Vance详细分析了最高法院就特朗普豁免权问题做出的裁决,以及史密斯如何修改起诉书以应对这一裁决。她指出,修改后的起诉书删除了与特朗普与司法部互动相关的指控,并将重点放在特朗普作为候选人的行为上。Vance认为,修改起诉书是正确的做法,因为最高法院对总统豁免权的解读出乎意料。她还指出,起诉书中关于特朗普与迈克·彭斯互动的问题是真正的争议点,并解释了史密斯如何重新定义这种互动。Vance认为,史密斯保留了所有四个最初的指控,并且特朗普面临的风险没有改变,只是支持这些指控的论据有所不同。她还讨论了修改后的起诉书中对特朗普在椭圆形办公室集会上发表的言论的重新定义,以及删除特朗普2021年1月5日的一条推文。Vance认为,最高法院的裁决为犯罪行为提供了一个路线图,并且史密斯团队删除了一些内容是为了展示诚意,并为未来的上诉做准备。她还讨论了起诉书中关于特朗普与迈克·彭斯互动的内容的重要性,以及法院对这些论点的看法可能取决于谁赢得选举。Vance认为,史密斯需要关于彭斯的指控才能使指控成立,并解释了为什么特朗普与彭斯的互动不影响总统职能。最后,Vance指出,起诉书的核心是特朗普作为阴谋的策划者,而迈克·彭斯是唯一一个拒绝加入阴谋的人。 Preet Bharara: Bharara同意Vance的观点,认为史密斯修改起诉书是为了尽可能广泛地解释最高法院的豁免权裁决。他认为,修改起诉书的策略是为了在最高法院面前更好地呈现案件,并提供了一个具体的文本,而不是假设性的文本,方便双方辩论。Bharara还指出,修改起诉书不会加快审判进程,除非特朗普输掉选举。他认为,修改起诉书消除了特朗普关于原起诉书被污染的论点的一部分,并且史密斯通过重新组成大陪审团来削弱特朗普的论点。Bharara还认为,最高法院的裁决为犯罪行为提供了一个路线图,并且史密斯团队删除了一些内容是为了展示诚意,并为未来的上诉做准备。他同意Vance的观点,认为起诉书中关于特朗普与迈克·彭斯互动的内容至关重要,并且法院对这些论点的看法可能取决于谁赢得选举。Bharara还认为,关于特朗普与彭斯互动的问题将成为一个重要的论点。
