Andy McCarthy: ‘It’d Be Politically Disastrous’ for Dems If Judge Merchan Ordered Trump Be Jailed

CAVUTO Juan Merchan now ░░░░░░░░ that he s going ░░░░░░░░ find Donald Trump in ░░░░░░░░ for the tenth time ░░░░░░░░ s recognizing fairly quickly ░░░░░░░░ when you slap 1 ░░░░░░░░ fines on a billionaire ░░░░░░░░ re not necessarily going ░░░░░░░░ get him to change ░░░░░░░░ ways or his comments ░░░░░░░░ what he says in ░░░░░░░░ or otherwise But he ░░░░░░░░ this is the judge ░░░░░░░░ that he would consider ░░░░░░░░ for further violations To ░░░░░░░░ extent prosecutors have urged ░░░░░░░░ to do so Will ░░░░░░░░ likely happen Let s ░░░░░░░░ to Andy McCarthy on ░░░░░░░░ former assistant U S ░░░░░░░░ Fox News contributor That ░░░░░░░░ be a big leap ░░░░░░░░ what do you think ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy Well I think ░░░░░░░░ d be politically disastrous ░░░░░░░░ Democrats to have Donald ░░░░░░░░ be put in jail ░░░░░░░░ this I think it ░░░░░░░░ just cause more scrutiny ░░░░░░░░ this case which is ░░░░░░░░ politicized I don t ░░░░░░░░ how that helps them ░░░░░░░░ So I think that ░░░░░░░░ is backing himself into ░░░░░░░░ bad corner by continuing ░░░░░░░░ draw a line in ░░░░░░░░ sand that I think ░░░░░░░░ really doesn t want ░░░░░░░░ cross with these threats ░░░░░░░░ incarceration CAVUTO You re ░░░░░░░░ legal eagle I m ░░░░░░░░ As I ve often ░░░░░░░░ you I ve watched ░░░░░░░░ lot of law shows ░░░░░░░░ I think I qualify ░░░░░░░░ the one thing that ░░░░░░░░ me couldn t to ░░░░░░░░ make this easier on ░░░░░░░░ and everybody else if ░░░░░░░░ just said The standards ░░░░░░░░ m applying to you ░░░░░░░░ Trump I will apply ░░░░░░░░ to Michael Cohen McCarthy ░░░░░░░░ there s less law ░░░░░░░░ the proposition that you ░░░░░░░░ you can stifle a ░░░░░░░░ than a party but ░░░░░░░░ re quite right that ░░░░░░░░ s what the law ░░░░░░░░ says and there s ░░░░░░░░ the judge could do ░░░░░░░░ the judge really wants ░░░░░░░░ the judge made it ░░░░░░░░ to prosecutors that he ░░░░░░░░ their witness to stop ░░░░░░░░ about Trump and talking ░░░░░░░░ the case that would ░░░░░░░░ quickly He s not ░░░░░░░░ that on the rationalization ░░░░░░░░ Trump is the only ░░░░░░░░ who s on trial ░░░░░░░░ the thing is Neil ░░░░░░░░ he is saying is ░░░░░░░░ he s trying to ░░░░░░░░ the proceedings from heightened ░░░░░░░░ and other potential things ░░░░░░░░ could undermine the proceedings ░░░░░░░░ really does doesn t ░░░░░░░░ which participant in the ░░░░░░░░ is doing the talking ░░░░░░░░ it s Trump or ░░░░░░░░ else That still generates ░░░░░░░░ the judge says he ░░░░░░░░ trying to shield the ░░░░░░░░ in the rest of ░░░░░░░░ process from So I ░░░░░░░░ it s a disingenuous ░░░░░░░░ My own view of ░░░░░░░░ for what it s ░░░░░░░░ is that he doesn ░░░░░░░░ the judge doesn t ░░░░░░░░ Trump talking about the ░░░░░░░░ that the judge s ░░░░░░░░ is a political operative ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats who gets ░░░░░░░░ lot of money working ░░░░░░░░ people who define themselves ░░░░░░░░ how much they loathe ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ for the judge and ░░░░░░░░ doesn t want Trump ░░░░░░░░ about it so he ░░░░░░░░ pretextually saying that Trump ░░░░░░░░ threatening witnesses which Trump ░░░░░░░░ t doing so that ░░░░░░░░ has an excuse to ░░░░░░░░ down that line of ░░░░░░░░ by Trump.”
