FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb Breaks Down Trump's Booking & Legal Complexities at Fulton County Jail

Former President Donald Trump's booking and processing at Fulton County Jail on August 24, 2023, marks a significant legal development that has elicited extensive analysis and commentary. Legal analyst Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from FOX to provide an examination of the legal implications surrounding this event, describing it as "surreal."


The Significance of the Mugshot

According to Lieb, this is the first instance where Trump will have a mugshot taken. While a mugshot is standard procedure for most defendants, Lieb notes that Trump managed to avoid this step in his previous three indictments. The absence of a mugshot in previous cases could potentially have legal ramifications, and the inclusion of one in this instance indicates that the Fulton County sheriff is adhering strictly to established procedures for all defendants.

Treatment by the Legal System

Andrew Lieb pointed out that in previous instances, Trump appeared to receive certain privileges uncommon for typical defendants, such as not having a mugshot taken. In Fulton County, however, the sheriff's department is treating Trump as they would any other defendant. This could be significant, as differential treatment of defendants can sometimes become a point of contention in legal proceedings.

Legal Gravity of the Situation

Lieb offered that this may be the first time Trump is fully grasping the gravity of his legal situation. The contrast between Trump's known lavish lifestyle and the austere environment of a jail cell may underscore the severity of the legal procedures that he is currently undergoing. While Lieb suggests that the gravity may be setting in for Trump, it is, of course, speculative to determine a defendant's state of mind.

Co-Defendants to Consider

In addition to Trump, Andrew Lieb pointed out two co-defendants that merit attention: Kenneth Chesebro and Mark Meadows. These actions by co-defendants could introduce variables that affect the trajectory of the case.

Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Discusses Hearing in Mark Meadows' Removal Motion

Attorney Andrew Lieb appeared on Newsmax on 8/26/2023 to discuss the latest developments in the January 6th prosecution cases. He noted that there will be a crucial hearing where Judge Jones will hear arguments on Mark Meadows' motion to remove his case to federal court on 8/28/2023.

Lieb explained that Meadows is arguing he was acting within his capacity as White House Chief of Staff during the events of January 6th. However, testifying about his subjective beliefs could be problematic for Meadows as a criminal defendant. Lieb said the outcome of Meadows' removal motion will be closely watched, as it could influence whether former President Trump pursues a similar federal court strategy.

Lieb also weighed in on the challenges of prosecuting all 19 January 6th defendants together. He doubted the logistics of fitting all the defendants, attorneys, and evidence into one courtroom. Through upcoming motion practice, Lieb expects attempts to either move the cases or split them apart for trial.

FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb Analyzed Court Hearings for Meadows & Trump in Georgia and D.C.

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins LiveNOW from FOX on 8/28/23 at 9:30AM to discuss the legal proceedings for Trump and Meadows. Hearings could have major implications on transparency and Trump's legal liability in these election-related cases.

• Two major court cases discussed in the interview: Washington D.C. case regarding election interference charges. A hearing will determine if the trial date will be January 2024 (as prosecutors want) or April 2026 (as Trump wants). - Result was March 4, 2024.
• Georgia case involving "fake electors." A hearing was taking place to determine if the case stays in state court or is moved to federal court, as defendant Mark Meadows wants.
• If the Georgia case moves to federal court, cameras will not be allowed in the courtroom, removing transparency.
• Co-defendants' attempts to argue they were "acting under direction of Trump" directly implicates the former president in the alleged fake elector scheme.
• Trump benefits from wealth, power and influence in the legal system. He receives preferential treatment like quick release from jail compared to others facing similar charges.
• The many ongoing legal battles may energize Trump's base but hurt his chances in a general election by making him seem politically divisive and potentially guilty of crimes.

FOX LiveNOW: Political Analyst Andrew Lieb Discusses Trump Preparing To Surrender

In his latest interview on LiveNOW from Fox, legal analyst Andrew Lieb provided commentary on the criminal cases facing former President Donald Trump. 

• Lieb broke down the charges in the Georgia case, including the RICO charge alleging Trump and others formed a criminal enterprise to try to change the lawful election results. Fake elector documents and pressure on officials are also part of the allegations.
• The terms of Trump's release in Georgia notably include prohibitions on intimidating witnesses through social media posts, indicating this may be an area of focus for prosecutors.
• Upcoming dates include an arraignment the week of September 5th and Lieb questioned whether an October trial date will hold given issues around defendant requests for separate trials.

Lieb believes the Georgia case has the biggest scope of allegations and will be the most watched criminal trial in U.S. history given cameras will be allowed in the courtroom.

Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Analyzes Legal Issues Surrounding Trump Investigations

On a recent Newsmax interview, attorney and political analyst Andrew Lieb weighed in on the legal implications of ongoing investigations into former President Donald Trump. 

Lieb said that Mark Meadows is set for a Monday hearing in the removal of his case to federal court, which could be a telling sign, where evidence presented will likely include the subpoenaed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

He cautioned against rushing to judgment until more facts are known. 

Overall, Lieb emphasized the importance of allowing the legal processes to play out and examining evidence before making determinations about the validity of charges.

FOX LiveNOW: Attorney Andrew Lieb on Giuliani, Trump, and Republican Debate

During a recent interview on LiveNOW from FOX, legal expert Andrew Lieb discussed the ongoing criminal charges involving Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, along with that investigation's impact on the Republican Debate. Here's a summary of the key points:

• Prior to his arrest, a $150K bond amount for Giuliani was agreed upon through a "consent" process.
• Trump is entangled in various legal battles, one of which is in Georgia, where he's accused of running a "criminal enterprise" to challenge the 2020 election results using false claims and pressuring officials.
• The Georgia trial will be broadcasted, allowing the public to observe the proceedings without bias.
• A recent document submission by Jack Smith suggests that the investigation in DC has led to a new witness, referred to as "employee 4," who decided to cooperate after seeking independent legal advice.

Lieb commented on the cases' gravity, stating, "The felonies being discussed come with significant jail time... In terms of evidence, there's conclusive proof in the Florida case."

NYS Adds Protections to State's Human Rights Law (Anti-Discrimination Law)

FOX LiveNOW: Political Commentator Andrew Lieb Analyzes Trump Surrender

Attorney Andrew Lieb joins LIVENOW from FOX to discuss the latest legal and political updates for Donald Trump. Trump faces 91 felony charges across 4 jurisdictions - New York, DC, Florida, and Georgia. 

• Andrew Lieb predicts the charges in Florida have the most full-proof evidence against Trump, where Trump is recorded admitting documents were not declassified and showing classified documents to others, including war plans with Iran. 
• "Flipping" witnesses who make deals for immunity or lesser charges in exchange for testimony against others will be key. An IT employee at Mar-a-Lago has already "flipped" and says they were told to delete security footage.
• The cases against Trump could take years to play out through trials and appeals. Picking a jury for the RICO case alone may take 6 months.
• Trump may try to delay proceedings until a potential 2024 presidential run, but he'll have trouble campaigning while in court. Lieb thinks Trump will eventually take a plea deal if co-defendants flip.

"Statistically speaking, if I said, our friend, Rachel had 91 charges against her, it's not statistically probable that she's gonna get acquitted on all 91 of them." - Andrew Lieb
