Jack Smith now has 'devastating' evidence against Trump that juries 'eat up': expert

According to MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos, the unearthed recording of Donald Trump and RNC chair Ronna McDaniel plotting with Michigan election officials to block the certification of the 2020 presidential election votes will likely be front and center when special counsel Jack Smith presents his case in Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom.

After being prompted about the phone call by "Morning Joe" fill-in host Jonathan Lemire, Cevallos began by noting that "there was a lot of talk this last week about, well, could this expose him to liability in a Michigan court? Maybe. But far more interesting to me, having defended federal criminal cases, I can tell you federal court is not a fun place to be for a criminal defense attorney because the government is very good at what they do."

"If I'm the government I'm thinking they're looking at this Michigan evidence as what we call 404-B, but all it is is prior bad act evidence that sometimes under certain circumstances can come into a prosecution," he added.

"So if I'm Jack Smith, maybe you look at that Michigan evidence or any evidence from any other state and bring that in as evidence in your D.C. court case and say, 'Look, this is what he was doing elsewhere, this was not a mistake. This is his modus operandi. This all should come in,' and it can be devastating evidence," he added. "I can tell you personally that bad act evidence that somebody did something else bad somewhere else is devastating and juries -- they eat it up," he explained.
