MSNBC’s Lisa Rubin: Trump Saying that Biden’s DoJ Was Pulling ‘D.A. Alvin Bragg’s Strings’ Is ‘Dangerously and Perniciously Racist’

ARONBERG Why would we ░░░░░░░░ that Judge Merchan would ░░░░░░░░ him any incarceration right ░░░░░░░░ maybe he ll get ░░░░░░░░ house arrest at Mar ░░░░░░░░ Lago but he s ░░░░░░░░ gonna be wearing an ░░░░░░░░ jumpsuit anytime soon LEMIRE ░░░░░░░░ Lisa let s take ░░░░░░░░ to you Beyond the ░░░░░░░░ order we re now ░░░░░░░░ than a month until ░░░░░░░░ get his sentencing July ░░░░░░░░ just before the Republican ░░░░░░░░ Convention From what you ░░░░░░░░ of the case drawing ░░░░░░░░ your experience what s ░░░░░░░░ you know it s ░░░░░░░░ understand that it s ░░░░░░░░ and every case is ░░░░░░░░ But what what should ░░░░░░░░ expect in terms of ░░░░░░░░ sentencing RUBIN I actually ░░░░░░░░ m going to have ░░░░░░░░ disagree with Dave here ░░░░░░░░ think there s a ░░░░░░░░ that Trump gets some ░░░░░░░░ of incarceration now that ░░░░░░░░ because of some of ░░░░░░░░ logistical issues could come ░░░░░░░░ the form of something ░░░░░░░░ a house arrest and ░░░░░░░░ in a traditional incarceratory ░░░░░░░░ But I think given ░░░░░░░░ lack of remorse there ░░░░░░░░ a number of violations ░░░░░░░░ the gag order that ░░░░░░░░ not been brought to ░░░░░░░░ Merchan s attention but ░░░░░░░░ on journalist watch during ░░░░░░░░ trial You know the ░░░░░░░░ attorney s office may ░░░░░░░░ made the decision It ░░░░░░░░ t worth it at ░░░░░░░░ stage to bring it ░░░░░░░░ Merchan s attention They ░░░░░░░░ to see the trial ░░░░░░░░ They wanted it completed ░░░░░░░░ wanted a verdict But ░░░░░░░░ doesn t mean that ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ to him during sentencing ░░░░░░░░ say look at all ░░░░░░░░ other things that he ░░░░░░░░ look at all these ░░░░░░░░ things that he said ░░░░░░░░ doesn t take your ░░░░░░░░ seriously Nothing short of ░░░░░░░░ will be enough to ░░░░░░░░ this guy to stop ░░░░░░░░ Lisa just from you ░░░░░░░░ re in there and ░░░░░░░░ watched this every step ░░░░░░░░ the way and covered ░░░░░░░░ detail for us and ░░░░░░░░ m just curious does ░░░░░░░░ Trump a defendant seem ░░░░░░░░ like someone who wants ░░░░░░░░ avoid jail time I ░░░░░░░░ just curious if he ░░░░░░░░ it would even be ░░░░░░░░ helpful RUBIN I think ░░░░░░░░ thinks it might be ░░░░░░░░ helpful I mean certainly ░░░░░░░░ the reporting has been ░░░░░░░░ he wants to avoid ░░░░░░░░ at all costs that ░░░░░░░░ is very much scared ░░░░░░░░ anything approaching incarceration But ░░░░░░░░ a political perspective he ░░░░░░░░ that s political BRZEZINSKI ░░░░░░░░ RUBIN gold for him ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ both during the trial ░░░░░░░░ thereafter he is definitely ░░░░░░░░ to rile up his ░░░░░░░░ with the possibility of ░░░░░░░░ form of term of ░░░░░░░░ And in terms of ░░░░░░░░ he s talking he ░░░░░░░░ continuing to push a ░░░░░░░░ that as I ve ░░░░░░░░ and others have is ░░░░░░░░ dangerous tying the current ░░░░░░░░ to the prosecution in ░░░░░░░░ by somehow alleging that ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration and specifically ░░░░░░░░ Department of Justice was ░░░░░░░░ Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg ░░░░░░░░ strings How Through a ░░░░░░░░ civil litigator named Matthew ░░░░░░░░ who was part of ░░░░░░░░ DA s team but ░░░░░░░░ not its head For ░░░░░░░░ variety of reasons that ░░░░░░░░ makes no sense It ░░░░░░░░ factually false And it ░░░░░░░░ also dangerously and perniciously ░░░░░░░░ because it assumes that ░░░░░░░░ Alvin Bragg who is ░░░░░░░░ could not have executed ░░░░░░░░ prosecution on his own ░░░░░░░░ the supervision of a ░░░░░░░░ of white elders.”
