One of the leading candidates to become Manhattan's next D.A., Tali Weinstein, says the next D.A. will face big and “unprecedented legal calls” in office, and that the office does have the legal authority to indict an ex-President, in an interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber in the run up to the June 22 race. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ).

i dont care who wins it as long as you put the orange clown and his family in jail…its all good….
@Jay Mas Where have you been the last few decades, or maybe you are just a sheep cult member?
@Robert Mahler Maybe just woke up from a five-year coma? 🤣
I don’t agree with you@OP
Ma Barker his spawn and the rest of that bunch of crooks should be put UNDER Rikers Island
@Jay Mas where would you like us all to begin?
Do you think Vance would have created not just a grand jury but a SPECIAL GRAND JURY if he didn’t already have Trump in the bag. Just ask Michael Cohen. They’re all going down, and it’s decades later than it should have been.
@Frenchblue8 how come you never get so excited about bidens son that’s kind of funny all your opinions are based on fake news accusations.
She doesn’t want to answer how she would respond to Vance’s prosecution of Trump.
@Enchanted Homeschool Does her present or former job mean that she had a duty to receive classified information?
@Deb Shaw She is forbidden from speaking about any case that is under investigation.
@Noel Pucarua she said she knew nothing about the case. The entire world knows about the case.
@Deb Shaw The entire world knows the case exists, but none of the details. If you know the details you could sell your information to Trump. Call Mar-A-Lago and tell Trump everything you know.
Her response was appropriate. She has to limit her public words to avoid the appearance of bias.
The only time I will be yelling four more years for Trump will be at his sentencing.
I am laughing so hard, imagening lot’s of people in the court shouting “4 more years” when the judge is announcing the sentence thank you for a good laugh 😂 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, nice!
Yeah for what crime?
More than four years .
👏👏👏👏
GLENN KIRSHNER!! Because justice matters
HECK YES
Yep. I trust him to do the job over Garland too.
Do Glen want the job? Im just wandering.
@2dronetek2 , DEFINITELY. Glenn Kirshner is much, much more credible than Garland !
💥✅
I don’t see “a Cyrus Vance” in any of these candidates. Can’t replace a pit bull with a bunch of collies or labradors
@JVS 3 yep so are dachshunds..they think they are bigger than they are. I got in the middle of one fighting with a German shepherd when I was a kid and landed in the hospital from the dachshund!
@TexanforTruth TossTrump oh that’s funny but sorry you got hurt
thats a chihuahua. ankle biter.
@Brandy Courvoisier yeah canine rats
You are all whippersnappers with no long term memory. They’ve been on the verge of bringing Trump down since before he was elected. I’m trying to help you.
She won’t answer any direct questions about what she will or won’t do. Sus AF. And for someone who may be inheriting the case it seems strange she says she really doesn’t know anything about it.
Why would that be suspicious af? Because she doesn’t want to indulge certain things as a candidate?
She doesn’t cut it for a NY DA. No freaking way.
She should not be talking about her cases in public, particularly when she has not seen any evidence or testimony. Leftists want to cheat the system. They don’t want justice; they want revenge. Your comments are pure hatred, which is extremely immoral.
@MsJudi54 But the important thing is she’s not bowing to the online mob. I wonder how many Republicans running for office these days are going against the tide of MAGA and QANON “populism.”
Another patsy for the right. 💸
This electing judges thing is interesting…we don’t have that in Canada. Seems like yet another opportunity for populism (mob rule) in America.
Absolutely right.
At least you understand traditional politics in the US whereas way too many in the US doesn’t. .populism is part of both the republican and democrat ideologies but used way more in republicanism. .
@Craig Crawford We tossed out our Republican types in 2015…the Liberals got re-elected with a minority in 2019 and have managed to keep the ship of state afloat for nearly two years with help from the NDP. We’ll see if they make it to 2023. If they are defeated (on a confidence vote over legislation) we’ll get an early election.
I’m not voting for her at all another joe manchin answer
bingo
We don’t want or need another Joe Manchin.
A DA must be an aggressive prosecutor not Sunday school teacher
No more like sorority uptown girl who more than likely has never washed her own clothes or mopped a floor.
@TiWanTiWa Abibiman We’re all on the same page here – she reminded me of a cheerleader!
She reminds me of that judge trmp added to the supreme court. Can’t answer a straight question. Ok. No vote/soup for you.
There must be accountability !
She is full of horse hockey! She is clearly saying “NO” I will not be going forward with that indictment and probe!!!
You can lead a horse to ice but you can’t make him play hockey. And that ain’t no horse pucky.
@peter baxter ~ Nice correction on that colloquialism! However, much as I want to see Traitor Trump indicted, tried, and behind bars, this candidate for the DA’s office answered all Ari’s questions properly. The problem is that Ari, as a former lawyer and prosecutor, knows full well that any decent qualified candidate can’t get into specifics about pending cases, knows that any competent DA assuming the office has both a duty and good reason to review all cases that are ongoing, as they will then be responsible for those cases, and the questions appear designed mostly to increase ratings for his show and network, although I do think it is good to interview the candidates so that Manhattan voters get a chance to see and hear from them before making a choice.
Unlike most of the rest of the commenters here, I don’t see a problem with her, at least not from this interview, and her integrity should be appreciated, not scorned—-especially after we all saw how Traitor Trump’s DOJ was misrun and abused. Last thing we need is for a judge to let Trump off the hook because of prejudicial misconduct from the DA. Also, while I already have issues with some of the discretionary decisions by Garland’s DOJ and wondering why Trump hasn’t been charged yet by his DOJ for multiple evident crimes he committed while in office, don’t think it’s fair to make comparisons between him and her, as some here are doing without any reasonable basis.
Next interview please she should have already known about the investigation of Cy Vance and how important to the american people it is.
I hope she does not assume the DA office. Lawyers of all people know how to answer these questions Ari is asking about grand jury covering and prosecuting a former President. She’s too evasive. This platform could help her promote her campaign…she appears too careful with no fierceness in her skirts. Just keep sitting in the office you currently hold…
She didn’t say anything, wasted opportunity, and probably end up being another Garland. Seriously, what is going on with justice in your country, i realise people are probably getting death threats and also don’t like character assassinations, but there must be someone that’s has a backbone.
America is so white bread , nothing will ever clean up the trash. They all are greedy and corrupt to the core. Would someone shut her up !!!!°
I have a major backbone, but I don’t think I could get into any office of particular importance. Im too “crazy.”
failed job interview
when everyone watches the news and knows whats going on, she doesn’t know anything? Come on! Wrong candidate for sure. The message comes through so easily that she is absolutely not the right person to help with the crimes at hand. I dont see her has being just, but selfish instead. We don’t need another one of that.
She’s a politician looking past the DA office already, I hope she doesn’t get elected
thats a bingo!
Does America need more word salad or real patriots to prosecute the terrorists and crooked politicians?
She’s a lawyer that is how they talk and how they are supposed to speak. I hear where your coming from though.
Don’t worry Joe and the crew probably won’t finish the year !
@Robert Arthurs finish the year….. They won’t finish the year? Are you threatening their lives? That’s not very nice, now, is it?
C’mon Lady! We all saw the evidence just enforce the law re: prosecution against Trump.
That wasn’t an interview, it was her election rally and she failed……..next…..
Please God we don’t need any more people like this in power. She either doesn’t answer the question or just make some excuse
