Trump and lawyers given a 'shot across the bow' from judge before hearing: legal expert

While speaking with her guests on Sunday afternoon, MSNBC host Jen Psaki singled out an admonishment made by Judge Juan Merchan in his sentencing ruling on Friday aimed at Donald Trump's lawyers and asked for an interpretation.

Sitting down with former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann and ex-Solicitor General Neal Katyal, Psaki pointed to the filing and noted to her guests, "There were a number of messages, at least in my reading, in how Judge Merchan wrote this. It was scathing. He also calls out Trump's lawyers for using language in their filings he says has no place in legal pleadings."

"What does that tell you?" she asked.

'You know, I mean, it's a shot across the bow not just for the lawyers, but I think more specifically for Donald Trump himself who had done any, made any number of public statements about the court, about the judge, about the process that I think the judge was worried about," Katyal replied.

"The judge went so far as to actually quote Chief Justice John Roberts' statement on New Year's Eve about attacks on the judiciary destroying –– trying to destroy its credibility and undermine the safety and security of judges, so I think that's definitely part of it," he added.

'Slime': Trump busted for reassembling Jan. 6 'menagerie of misfits' before taking office

Reacting to a report from Vaughan Hilyard of NBC News that Donald Trump held a secretive Mar-a-Lago celebration Saturday night when he invited several architects of the attempt to overturn the 2020 election results, MSNBC's Michael Steele warned the country that things are about to take a turn for the worst.

After co-host Symone Sanders Townsend called the honoring of disgraced attorney John Eastman, who came up with the failed plan to push ex-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the 2020 election results, "sickening," Steele had a few things to say.

"The reality, at least for me, goes to the heart of what Symone said," he began. "Folks, the slime you feel right now when hear this story, that thing in your gut that goes, us, this doesn't seem right? We only have one president at a time and Trump didn't give a crap about that. He's the man and that's all that matters,"

Because, from where he sitting, he wants to prove that that election was stolen. That is why he is loving up this menagerie of misfits. He didn't want them around him because he had no use for them because he didn't know if he'd get back in the White House but now he's back and they are back."
