'F for intelligence': Host explains how Trump co-defendant is 'making the case easier for Fani Willis'

One of former President Donald Trump's 18 co-defendants in the Fulton County, Georgia racketeering case recently shared a video of herself via social media threatening a witness.

According to the "Instagram video shared on the website Meidastouch.com," CNN reports, Trevian Kutti appears to direct her words to former Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman, "saying: 'There's a woman sitting somewhere who knows this whole thing is a lie, who knows I never did anything to her, who knows I never … who knows she begged me for help. There's a woman sitting somewhere who knows that I’m going to f**k her whole life up when this is done.'"

During Tuesday's episode of MSNBC's The ReidOut, host Joy Reid asked guest and fellow MSNBC host Katie Phang to speak to how "dumb" posting an Instagram live video "and basically" threatening a witness really is.

"So when I was a prosecutor, I used to tell juries, 'I can't promise to give you a smart defendant, but I'm giving you a defendant,' Phang said. "And that's Trevian Kutti. She's not a smart defendant. None of them can be smart if they drank the trump Kool-aid and helped a conspiracy to do what they did. But Trevian Kutti, you mentioned it in the setup, right. The one possible out she may have, is that she didn't actually refer to Ruby Freeman by name. But we're not stupid and neither is Judge McAfee, and certainly not DA Fani Willis. And so the reason why I say that is, Fani Willis could seek revocation of Trevian Kutti's bond status because her bond conditions that Kutti stipulated to, she agreed to, is that she's not allowed to threaten, intimidate, harass any victim, any witness, any codefendant in the case. But what's problematic is she posts on social media as well. It's not just Instagram live, she posts on Twitter as well. "

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again?

Phang continued, "So she's just inviting more trouble. And she is — it's an indication of a systemic problem that we're having with these co-defendants in Fulton County, running from Trump to Harrison Floyd to Trevian Kutti. They don't keep their mouths shut. They're making the case easier for Fani Willis. Why? Because why would she be threatening somebody if she didn't think there was exposure to her if that person opens their mouth and they testify. The other stupidity that comes into play with Trevian Kutti as well as Harrison Floyd — they're being prosecuted as a part of a larger RICO conspiracy, but she's being prosecuted for threatening Ruby Freeman. What does she do on Instagram live? Threaten Ruby Freeman. I mean, it's consistency. At least I'll give her the gold star for that. But I'll definitely give her an 'F' for intelligence when it comes to dealing with the prosecution."
