Dana Perino Rejects Comparing Trump to Authoritarian: In Dictatorships They Actually Prosecute Enemies
RUSH EXCERPT:
PERINO: “You can say a lot of things inside the White House. You can say I want this to happen and then you might have a general counsel that is wise and smart and clever like Donald Mcgahn who says it’s not a good idea, Mr. President. His lawyer is bill Burke. Full disclosure, he is a good friend of mine. He says Donald Mcgahn is not going to comment on the legal advice to get to the president but he noted that the president never to his knowledge ordered anyone to prosecute Hillary Clinton or James Comey. Again it’s like he might have brought it up and may be you’re frustrated, they are going to investigate me, investigate her. Sir, we can’t do that. Okay, fine. Then they move on. When they say this is what happens in a dictatorship, no, what happens in a dictatorship of the prosecution actually happens. And it’s not a fair trial. There’s no due process and that person is immediately thrown in jail or extradited. That’s what I would say.”
