as andrew weissmann, who led the prosecution of former trump campaign manager paul manafort points out, quote, the value of the mazars' documents is not in the disclosure of tax returns. that is available to law enforcement and tax authorities. accounting records enable a prosecutor to see how the reported tax numbers were calculated. the underlying data is key to proving criminal intent as it was in the manafort investigation. manhattan district attorney cy vance is wasting no time getting to the bottom of those records apparently. "the new york times" reported earlier this week vance has enlisted a prominent former federal prosecutor to help with the case with deep experience investigating and defending white collar and organized crime cases. that is far from the end of the trump family's legal concerns. a court filing earlier this week revealed donald trump jr. was deposed on february 11th as part of an investigation into alleged misuse of contributions for his father's 2017 inauguration. according to the filing by the d.c. attorney's general office, don junior's testimony, quote, r

let's bring in andrew weissmann the former senior member of special counsel mueller's probe and he is now an msnbc legal analyst. i am so glad you are here. they just got the same guy that prosecuted john gadi jr. to investigate trump. what does that mean when a mob prosecutor takes on a case like this? >> good morning, stephanie. so i really had my ears perk up at this news. there are two things that cy vance did that i think are innovative, unusual and really signal to me that there's a there-there to paraphrase gertrude stein, and that is mark pomeranz being added to the team along with the news several weeks ago that the manhattan district attorney's office also added fti, which is an outside accounting firm. to me what that signals with mark pomeranz given his expertise in white collar criminal defense is this is an active white collar investigation where it's serious. it's hard to imagine that you would bring in both fti and mark pomeranz if there wasn't something that you thought was worth serious investigation and you're gearing up for the potential indictment of people, eithe

weissmann. andrew, your thoughts on yesterday and what we're expected to see today. >> well, yesterday was a very powerful day for the democrats and, you know, the republican lawyers, you know, did not have their finest moment. i think today there is at least a chance for the republican side to really try and focus on incitement and what that means, and i think the challenge for the house managers is really going to be tying former president trump's statements and conduct to what happened on january 6th. and they have a lot to work with because there's all the events leading up to that, as claire said, the big lie that was perpetrated and the pressure that the president put on everyone up to and including his own vice president. but i think that's going to be the challenge for the democrats, is really showing that linkage and then trying to really focus on the president's conduct and behavior while the riots were going on. because i think that's really the -- in some ways the most powerful evide

>> let's bring in andrew weissmann, he was general counsel for the fbi under director mueller. he's now an msnbc legal analyst. give us your thoughts on how the house managers are doing so far. >> i think they're doing a great job. i think it is necessary to show what actually happened. in other words, what the former president unleashed. but, as you said, in terms of the charge of incitement, it is necessary to show how this is connected to what donald trump either intended or was recklessly fomenting. and i think that some of the key evidence there is not just what happened, the buildup, which they have done a wonderful job showing you can't really start the timeline on january 6th. but if you look at this in the way of what would an innocent president have done? in other words, if this was not donald trump's intent. if he didn't think that this was what was going to happen and he didn't want it to happen, what would he have done? well, he would have said it's fine to protest on january 6th, but he would have made it clear and he wouldn't say once to be peaceful. he would hav

i want to bring in andrew weissmann, former impeachment leader and msnbc analyst. andrew, give us your opinion where we stand now. >> listening to the debate about statement versus testimony, basically, everybody is right there's no question having the actual testimony of the witness is better. and if this was a court of law, the law is the party doesn't have to agree to a stipulation. they could actually have a witness called. i think if you're doing this for the american public, if that's the jury you're playing to, it actually is better to have a live witness so that people can actually see that. and then also cable news and regular news can all sort of report on it in a very different way than a cold, written affidavit. as somebody who was involved in the written mueller report, i'm well aware of the downsides of just putting something in writing without having a visual attached to it. however a signed sworn statement is better than just newspaper articles, as stephanie said, it does give more comfort to the republican senators who claire correctly said are in

let's bring in former senior member of the mueller investigation and investigator andrew weissmann. theoretically, the democrats have more time. right now the focus is connecting the dots, that phone call that afternoon. what president trump knew when. is there not another avenue to pursue around law enforcement and security? we know the capitol police were understaffed. we know they were directed not to fire unless they were fired at. there was 140 police officers injured, is that an avenue to be explored if there's more time? >> you know, the answer to that is there are different ways to have approached this trial. you could have had a long investigation and proddened it out to all of those issues. you could have had depositions about the various outreaches by donald trump within the department of justice to various secretaries of state. you could have the reaction to how they were setting up for january 6th, which my view is sort of a really racist way of doing it compared to what they did for the black lives matter movement. so all of that could have been done. i think at this p
