MAHER Was the judge ░░░░░░░░ Trump s hush money ░░░░░░░░ right to delay sentencing ░░░░░░░░ yeah that happened today ░░░░░░░░ November 26th in order ░░░░░░░░ avoid interfering in the ░░░░░░░░ Man all those trials ░░░░░░░░ nothing happened Nothing LOWRY ░░░░░░░░ indicted him and they ░░░░░░░░ to try him on ░░░░░░░░ political schedule They literally ░░░░░░░░ they could have they ░░░░░░░░ have had him in ░░░░░░░░ from March to October ░░░░░░░░ presidential candidate of the ░░░░░░░░ States And it s ░░░░░░░░ not how the court ░░░░░░░░ works thank God This ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be sentenced ░░░░░░░░ It s absurd They ░░░░░░░░ a misdemeanor that the ░░░░░░░░ of limitations should have ░░░░░░░░ on and they bootstrapped ░░░░░░░░ up to 34 felonies ░░░░░░░░ wanted to sentence him ░░░░░░░░ jail for it I ░░░░░░░░ not a huge Trump ░░░░░░░░ but this I think ░░░░░░░░ absurd and wrong Applause ░░░░░░░░ Look I the larger ░░░░░░░░ obviously is January 6th ░░░░░░░░ And the problem is ░░░░░░░░ the immunity decision history ░░░░░░░░ really clear If you ░░░░░░░░ t hold people accountable ░░░░░░░░ they indulge in political ░░░░░░░░ then you get more ░░░░░░░░ violence And I m ░░░░░░░░ curious about the do ░░░░░░░░ think conservatives will end ░░░░░░░░ supporting a constitutional amendment ░░░░░░░░ overturn the immunity decision ░░░░░░░░ a Democrat is president ░░░░░░░░ wonder if they will ░░░░░░░░ I think the way ░░░░░░░░ kind of decisions work ░░░░░░░░ saw it with the ░░░░░░░░ counsel statute decision the ░░░░░░░░ Court has In Washington ░░░░░░░░ this stuff always comes ░░░░░░░░ and bites the other ░░░░░░░░ So right now Democrats ░░░░░░░░ so upset the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ has done this Then ░░░░░░░░ Kamala Harris is elected ░░░░░░░░ some Republican prosecutor somewhere ░░░░░░░░ the middle of red ░░░░░░░░ wants to indict her ░░░░░░░░ prosecute her for some ░░░░░░░░ act the Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ say no and Democrats ░░░░░░░░ suddenly Wait a minute ░░░░░░░░ that decision wasn t ░░░░░░░░ outrageous McMASTER Yeah I ░░░░░░░░ you what we ve ░░░░░░░░ is this tendency on ░░░░░░░░ ends of the political ░░░░░░░░ to score partisan points ░░░░░░░░ the expense of confidence ░░░░░░░░ our institutions MAHER Yeah ░░░░░░░░ Trump really does commit ░░░░░░░░ Let s not forget ░░░░░░░░ little part of it ░░░░░░░░ They re actual crimes ░░░░░░░░ We re 60 days ░░░░░░░░ from an election and ░░░░░░░░ think we ve normalized ░░░░░░░░ a little bit and ░░░░░░░░ s far too freaking ░░░░░░░░ MAHER He really does ░░░░░░░░ crimes is one thing ░░░░░░░░ two if the positions ░░░░░░░░ reversed and a Democrat ░░░░░░░░ this not only would ░░░░░░░░ Republicans go after him ░░░░░░░░ they would have done ░░░░░░░░ instead of what the ░░░░░░░░ do Talk about feckless ░░░░░░░░ This is feckless You ░░░░░░░░ four years to bring ░░░░░░░░ trials and we get ░░░░░░░░ of them AVLON And ░░░░░░░░ s because they were ░░░░░░░░ of politicizing it Look ░░░░░░░░ s the thing is ░░░░░░░░ if Democrats did what ░░░░░░░░ Trump did you would ░░░░░░░░ opposing him totally and ░░░░░░░░ the way so would ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ issue.”
