We're gonna get started with the latest on Seawan Diddy Combs, currently being held by the FEDS of waiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering chargers. Today, Shawn Diddy Combs and his legal team will appear in court for his latest attempt to get out of federal custody on bail. At the time of this taping, there is no decision that has been made. I predict he gonna stay right where you at now. Maybe that's me stepping out front. I
want to emphasize I'm not rooting for it. I don't know about his guilt or his innocence other than what he did on the court on video to his girlfriend Casi inventory that he beat up in a hotel hallway, Okay. Other than that, I know nothing about what is going on with Seawan Didny Combs. I'm not wishing the worst or the best for him. Let the evidence allow us to determine that. But we're gonna talk logically about what's transpiring with his situation. Right now, he's trying to get
out on bail. This is like the third attempt where he's gonna try to do it. They've nixed it two other times. I'm predicting they're going to do it again. I know just recently they raided a cell and when they raided to sell and confiscated some material where he wrote some stuff down. The defense attorneys representing Diddy took it to the judge and obviously the judge overruled it and made sure that whatever they obtained was inadmissible and
more importantly, probably have to be returned. Here's the deal. Those little victories, and they are victories because it curtails you from being able to use that evidence against him, still doesn't negate a bigger pointment to let him out on bail. You have to take into consideration the potential ramifications. You got to take into account why he's in jail
in the first place. When you look at the Southern District of New York and the case that they've put forth against him with these bevy of allegations understanding, one of the things they were saying is that he would intimidate witnesses that if he's out of jail and he has access to a phone in his discretion, access to his people to his discretion, access to emails, access to iPads and laptops, and all of this other stuff that
he could potentially influence potential witnesses. They're not going to let that happen to me. If he's granted bail and he's allowed to have that kind of access because he's a citizen that's roaming free, because he's let out of jail, that's going to drastically impede and hamper their case. And they're gonna do everything they can to make sure that that does not happen to me. If he's able to pull this off, he shouldn't have been there in the
first place. They shouldn't have been allowed to get him in jail in the first place. The fact that they were allowed to combined with the fact that he was denied bailed not once, but twice, and these allegations continue to grow and grow and grow on talking about allegations, not evidence, not per se, but allegations. The fact that they continue to mount does not put him in the greatest situation at all. Now, y'all can decide whether you want him out or you don't. That's your opinion. Ain't
gonna influence the courts, but you can decide. We can stand here right here on this show. Are we being fair to him. I think this show has been very fit to him. I think a lot of things have been going on. There's been no decision on the bail yet. There's been no decision. Let me be very very clear about that. So the judge ruled no decision will be made until next week. Okay, we're fine. We're fine with that.
My question to y'all out there right here on the Stephen A. Smith Show, should he be granted bail based on the accusations the Southern District of New York is levied against them. Homeland Security raided his homes in both Miami and Los Angeles. When they arrested them in New York, they knew he had come to town to turn himself in, they still showed up at the hotel wait for him to roll up in the hotel lobby before they sent the mountain cuffs. Well, a little purp walk to boot.
They're not playing and they believe their case against them is pretty damn strong. We had both Eli Honick and Ryan Smith, seeing an in ESPN, respectively, legal analysts in their own right come right on this show and explain that there's a whole mountain of evidence against them, and it doesn't look very very good.
He could still plead out, or he could potentially win the case, but it looks daunting to say the least, which means that they believe somewhere along the way there's an element, if not a bevy of truth attached to the litany of allegations that have.
Been thrown upon him. Under those circumstances, do you all believe that Sean Diddy Coombes should be released on bail until his trial in the spring. Before you answer that question right on the Stephen A. Smith Show, I would ask this, do you believe that if he is granted bill, that he will do absolutely nothing to communicate with and potentially influence witnesses schedule to testify against him, Or do you think he'll just sit at home and chill and
do nothing with his life on the line. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. It's a legitimate question. Take it into consideration.
