Donald Trump is going to quickly realize that all the tricks he's used to survive politically are not going to help him get out of a criminal trial, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Friday.
This comes amid reporting that the former president's allies are fearful about how he might react when he comes face to face with the witnesses at his trial.
"Glenn, I'll give you the last word on this ... how do you expect the prosecutor to handle this case?" asked Reid. "It's his biggest case, Alvin Bragg. He's in the central spotlight here. What do you expect him to do? How do you expect him to conduct it?"

"Oh, I expect we're going to see a very professional, very compelling presentation of the government's case in chief, the evidence the prosecution will introduce to try to prove the charges," Kirschner replied. "I wish there were cameras in that courtroom because we could sure benefit from seeing it ourselves."
"But what Donald Trump, I don't think will ever understand or appreciate is, he has been trying this case in the court of public opinion where there are no rules of evidence, no rules of law and the Constitution doesn't apply," continued Kirschner. "Once this moves into a court of law proper, he won't be able to say and do the things that he has been saying and doing to tear down our institutions of government day in and day out. And once the rules of law and procedure and evidence apply, I believe that he is going to go down in flames because the evidence against him is powerful, it's corroborated. There is an audio recording of him involving himself in the corrupt scheme to make these hush money payments and cover them up."
"So I think the prosecution is up to the task of presenting the evidence professionally and in a compelling way," he added.
