Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Talking About Georgia Prosecutors About To File Charges Against Donald Trump.

Attorney Andrew Lieb recently joined Newsmax for Breaking News where he delved into the possible Trump indictment in Georgia, as suggested by certain court filings. 

Lieb highlighted the need for prudence, wherein he stated, "Until we have the full facts from the indictment, jumping to conclusions is premature. Every charge deserves a thorough review before passing judgment."


The potential use of RICO statutes, or Georgia's anti-racketeering law, is under debate. Andrew stressed the fact that details, such as who exactly is indicted or whether RICO was even invoked, are still unclear. He advocates for a wait-and-see approach.


Additionally, Andrew illuminated the distinct reactions to the indictment from legal and political perspectives. Legally speaking, it's crucial to present just the necessary information to prevent a dismissal, but politically a robust speaking indictment would be far better.

FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb on Trump Protection Order

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from FOX to analyze Donald Trump's Protection Order.

Today, Trump's legal team fought prosecutors over the scope of a protective order in the January 6 conspiracy case against the former president. A protective order limits what Trump can publicly disclose about evidence and discovery in the case. But Trump argues it restricts his free speech rights as a presidential candidate. The judge will ultimately decide the scope of the order and how strictly Trump must follow it. Violating a protective order can lead to sanctions, fines and even jail time. But handling a case involving a former president and political candidate presents unique challenges. Attorney Lieb believes the judge will show little tolerance if Trump violates it.

FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb Analyzes SCOTUS' Ghost Guns Decision and Tory Lanez Sentencing

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from FOX to both offer clarity and insight into the Supreme Court's decision to reinstate the regulation of ghost guns, and to analyze Rapper Tory Lanez' sentencing.  


Ghost GunsThe Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to reinstate the regulation does not indicate a final stance on the regulation's substance. Rather, it's a preservation of the status quo pending appeal. Lieb's legal interpretation suggests that to address the ghost gun issue effectively, Congress might consider legislation to ensure that assembled guns and unassembled kits adhere to the same regulations, simplifying enforcement and closing potential legal loopholes.


The Lanez Conviction: The case of Tory Lanez's shooting of Megan Thee Stallion has legal circles and the public alike dissecting the intricacies of judicial sentencing. The ten-year sentence Lanez received, against the backdrop of the prosecution's 13-year recommendation and the potential 22+ year maximum. A criminal act was committed, and the judicial system delivered a sentence in response to it. 



Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Defends State Denying Catholic Couple's Foster Application Due to Discrimination on Gender and Sexuality

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins Newsmax to debate with Heritage Foundation attorney about a lawsuit trying to let foster parents discriminate against children's sexual orientation by blaming free speech and religious rights. Lieb argues on behalf of the children from the perspective of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families in defending the decision to deny the couple's foster application. He cites Massachusetts regulations requiring foster parents to support and affirm the sexual orientation and gender identities of LGBTQ foster children. Lieb claims this policy is needed to ensure vulnerable foster children know that they will be loved no matter who they are because the Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law.

He also evaluated the potential consequences for the "fake electors" and projected what investigators might hope to glean from their testimonies. Beyond this, Lieb delved into Trump's defense strategy, specifically focusing on the invoked First Amendment rights.

MSNBC: Attorney Andrew Lieb Examines Trump's First Amendment Defense on MSNBC

Attorney Andrew Lieb appears on MSNBC to dissect the third indictment lodged against former President Donald Trump. As GOP members widely employ a First Amendment defense, Lieb systematically dismantles these claims by highlighting conspiracy as an exemption to free speech protections, invoking Justice Scalia's ruling in US v. Williams. Lieb underscores that this case transcends mere incitement allegations. Rather, it contends that Trump and his co-conspirators endeavored to manipulate state votes, exerted pressure on former Vice President Pence, and exploit the Capitol violence for their ulterior motives.

FOX LiveNOW: Legal Political Analyst Andrew Lieb Talks About Hunter Biden's Ex Business Partner Devon Archer

Attorney Andrew Lieb reviewed credibility of Devon Archer (Hunter Biden's ex-business partner) on LiveNOW from FOX while considering Archer's fraud conviction. We examined his claims about Joe Biden's role in Hunter's foreign dealings and the potential misuse of VP influence for personal gain. Yet, in allegations of criminality, the burden of proof is crucial. No direct evidence yet. Burden of proof is on the accuser, not the accused.

CBS New York: Attorney Andrew Lieb Talks About The Gilgo Beach Suspect Rex Heuermann Back In Court Today

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined CBS NY morning news today to discuss the latest court proceeding involving the Gilgo Beach suspect, Rex Heuermann. Today's hearing seemed to be procedural, but there could be surprises ahead, considering the ongoing investigation and potential for a superseding indictment with more charges. Unlikely that he will make bail, given the severity of the charges and concerns for his family's safety. The Gilgo Beach murder case has captivated our region, and we're hopeful for a fair trial leading to justice for the victims.



FOX LiveNOW: Legal Analyst Andrew Lieb Talks About Trump Facing New Charges In The Mar-a-Lago Documents Case.

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from FOX to analyze Trump facing new charges in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Jack Smith's January 6 probe shows an imminent indictment, likely next week. The Mar-a-Lago case got even more damning with a new defendant and 450 years potentially in sentencing. Smith strategically timed the superseding indictment to trap Trump, and the evidence is voluminous, including texts and audio recordings. Getting underlings to turn on the boss is crucial. Prosecutorial expertise is evident in Smith's approach, making it hard for Trump to escape this case. More indictments might follow in DC. 



Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Talking About Hunter Biden Pleading Not Guilty To Tax & Gun Charges.

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined Newsmax to analyze Hunter Biden's plea deal unraveling in court. Chair Smith from the Ways and Means Committee sought to raise concerns about the investigations with an amicus brief. However, the judge deferred and demanded clarity on the plea deal's immunity scope. This is part of her duty under Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 11. We have questions but no answers yet, so the investigations must continue. It seems they aimed for a deal in principle without putting the details on paper, raising concerns from a legal standpoint.

FOX LiveNOW: Legal Analyst Andrew Lieb on Michigan School Shooter Ethan Crumbley

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from Fox to delve into the intricacies of the Ethan Crumbley case, where he stands as a school shooter facing a Miller Hearing. The crux of this hearing transcends the mere evaluation of the crime committed; rather, it necessitates a meticulous examination of crucial factors. These include the defendant's age at the time of the incident, the surrounding circumstances that culminated in this tragic event, and most importantly, the potential for rehabilitation.


Throughout the interview he discussed Rehabilitation vs. Punishment. Is the primary goal of our criminal justice system to solely seek retribution and deterrence, or should it earnestly emphasize the opportunity for redemption and reformation? This introspective inquiry challenges the foundation of our societal approach to addressing criminal behavior, especially in cases involving juveniles like Crumbley.

In a recent interview with Fox 5 NY, Attorney Andrew Lieb discussed the potential implications of New Jersey's lawsuit against New York's proposed congestion pricing plan. If New York fails to take the environmental impact study seriously, the repercussions could be profound.


A judge may not only discard the congestion pricing plan but also the resulting delays from the lawsuit could hinder New York's ability to implement the plan, even if eventually approved.

FOX LiveNOW: Political Legal Analyst Andrew Lieb Discusses Trump's Status as Criminal Target in Jan. 6 Probe

In a recent interview on LIVENOW from Fox, Attorney Andrew Lieb provided an analysis regarding former President Donald Trump's legal challenges in the January 6 probe. 

During the interview, Lieb emphasized the lack of surprise surrounding Trump's involvement in the probe, citing previous cases involving the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders as precedent. He noted the existence of an active Grand Jury in Washington, D.C. together with the target letter, indicating the likelihood of future charges against Trump.

Lieb highlighted the potential consequences of multiple indictments, discussing the existing charges in New York and Florida. He acknowledged the differing jury compositions in Washington, D.C., and Florida, underscoring the impact of juries on legal proceedings compared to media influence on public perception.

Regarding the implications of facing charges in multiple jurisdictions, Lieb differentiated the New York case, centered around false business records, from the cases in Washington, D.C., and Florida. He also alluded to the possibility of future charges in Georgia and New Jersey, outlining the significant challenges Trump could face if indicted on multiple fronts.

Lieb stressed the importance of patience and cautious evaluation of official indictments. He recommended relying on credible sources such as the PACER system for accurate information on federal court filings.
 
Lieb advised Trump against discussing his defense on social media, urging him to allow his legal team to handle the complexities of his case.

FOX 5 NY: Attorney Andrew Lieb Discusses Hollywood Actors Strike

If the Screen Actors Guild goes on strike, we're standing at the precipice of a seismic shift in the entertainment industry. The game is changing, and not just incrementally. We're talking about tectonic movement here. Actors are understandably concerned about residuals for streaming services, but there's an even bigger elephant in the room - the advent of artificial intelligence. You see, what we've got here is a scenario where an actor's name, likeness, even their idiosyncratic quirks can be replicated, regenerated through AI.  Imagine, for a moment, that you've dedicated your entire life to your craft - to bringing characters to life on screen. Then one day, you find yourself in a position where you're no longer needed. Why? Because a machine, an algorithm, can emulate you in such a way that you're effectively replaceable. This is the stark reality our actors are facing, and it's a prospect that doesn't sit comfortably. So, yes, we're on the brink of monumental change. How we navigate this new terrain will dictate the future of the industry. It's not just about the strike - it's about the very essence of what it means to be an actor in the 21st century.  To hear more on this, check out Attorney Andrew Lieb's full interview on FOX 5 NY.

FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb Shares Key Insights on Hunter Biden Case and Trump's Trial

Political Commentator and Legal Analyst Attorney Andrew Lieb recently shared his analysis and insights on the Hunter Biden case and former President Donald Trump's trial during an exclusive interview on LiveNOW from FOX. 

Hunter Biden Case:

  • Investigation and Charges: The investigation into Hunter Biden's case spanned four to five years before specific charges were brought forward. Charges include felony gun charges and two misdemeanors related to unpaid taxes in 2017-2018. 
  • Cooperation and Plea Deal: Lieb emphasizes the importance of cooperation with prosecutors to achieve a favorable plea deal when facing potential exposure. Cooperation before formal charges are brought can lead to more favorable outcomes.
  • Potential Penalties: Lieb expresses doubt regarding the likelihood of jail time for Hunter Biden. The felony firearm charge is to be addressed through a pretrial diversion program focused on rehabilitation rather than punitive measures. Hunter Biden has already paid back taxes and penalties, reducing the possibility of incarceration by the Judge where the prosecutors are said not to be seeking jail time.

Former President Trump's Trial:

  • Trial Date and Venue: Tentative trial date set for August 14, although delays due to motions and discovery are expected. The trial will take place in Fort Pierce, Florida, a location considered more favorable for Trump compared to Miami. Lieb explains the significance of trial venue and its potential impact on the proceedings.

Congressman George Santos' Case:

  • Judge denies Santos' attempt to keep bond backers' identities sealed. The order mandates unsealing of identities on June 22 at 12 pm, allowing Santos or bond suretors the opportunity to modify the release to incarceration before the disclosure. Lieb questions if Santo's family-member suretors are actually even family members given Santos' track record for the truth.

FOX LiveNOW: Lieb's Follow-Up Interview on Trump's Indictment: Charges, Campaigns, and Courtroom Drama (Part 2)

In a follow-up interview with LiveNOW from Fox, Attorney Andrew Lieb delved deeper into the unprecedented indictment of former President Donald Trump. As the initial shock of the news subsided, Lieb was able to provide a more nuanced analysis of the charges and their potential implications on Trump's future political pursuits.


Breaking Down the Charges:

The charges brought against Trump are severe, ranging from allegations of willful retention of National Defense Information to accusations of making false statements, conspiracy, and concealment. Lieb laid out the possible consequences of these allegations, emphasizing that these charges are substantial and carry potential prison sentences.


Trump's Political and Personal Predicament:

Lieb examined Trump's response to the indictments, characterizing the former President as being caught between his political messaging and his need for self-defense. This, according to Lieb, is indicative of the seriousness of the situation and the weight that these legal proceedings place on Trump.


The Impact on Trump's Campaign Activities:

When asked about the possible disruptions these charges could bring to Trump's campaign activities, Lieb clarified that Trump is currently facing two separate indictments, with a third potentially in the pipeline. These charges could significantly impede Trump's campaign schedule. The power to schedule court appearances rests not with the defendant, but with the judges presiding over the cases. As such, Trump could be held in contempt if he fails to attend court sessions as required.


Looking Forward:

Looking ahead, Lieb expressed his anticipation for the full indictment details, which are to be released via the PACER system. Unfortunately, due to the enormous amount of traffic following the news, the system had temporarily crashed.


Lieb also expressed his keen interest in observing Trump's next steps. Will the former president pivot from his current political maneuvers to focus more heavily on his criminal defense? With the seriousness of the charges he faces, it's a transition Lieb suggests might be necessary.
