Youtube transcript
0:00 I don't know if mayor Adams is innocent 0:01 or guilty but in my view it's better for 0:04 him to walk free than permit the system 0:07 to bribe him with impunity now I want to 0:09 open up this discussion with my good 0:11 friends and esteemed lawyers Doug Burns 0:14 and David Schwarz David to you first is 0:18 this a bribe to the mayor it's not a 0:21 bribe judge you know I I agree with the 0:23 general premise that you laid out that 0:25 there is something wrong with a with a 0:27 Criminal Justice System where if the 0:31 defendant can do something for the 0:33 prosecution their case could be 0:34 dismissed but this is normal course of 0:36 business okay so deals are made all the 0:40 time in in federal court and this 0:44 situation is not a bribe it actually is 0:47 trying to undo a faulty case in the 0:50 first place of taking a couple of 0:52 upgrades on flights so so and other 0:55 things which I know we don't want to get 0:56 into here we we'll get into some of the 0:58 details after the break but I I have to 1:01 I have to get to Doug I know you don't 1:02
want to do this make the argument that 1:05 this is a bribe that there is a quid pro 1:08 quo councelor Burns well I'm very 1:10 familiar with your writings on this 1:12 topic and we have discussed before judge 1:15 that there was a Colarado case where a 1:17 judge determined that when prosecutors 1:20 make a deal with a cooperating 1:22 testifying defendant it's a bribe and 1:24 you know the argument obviously um 1:27 putting aside whether I agree with it or 1:29 not is that of course you're offering 1:31 something of value uh to coers a person 1:34 to behave in a certain way so it matches 1:36 up like a bribery thing here what's 1:39 worse though it's really not about the 1:41 bribery and it's not about the without 1:43 prejudice forget that because cases are 1:45 always dismissed without prejudice the 1:46 problem is in the memo of February 10th 1:49
they say we're going to re-evaluate the 1:51 case after the mayoral election that's 1:54 crazy because that makes it as you've 1:56 described it judge and I've been 1:57 watching you obviously a sort of Amic is 2:00 over his head right right hang on guys 2:02 we need to take a quick break don't go 2:04 anywhere we're going to continue this 2:06 conversation on how a bribery case 2:08 appears to be influenced by another 2:10 bribe right here when the freedom file 2:12 returns 2:14 [Music] 2:18 [Applause] 2:19 [Music]
