John Yoo: If Trump Wins, Republican DAs Could Look at ‘Influence Peddling’ to Prosecute Biden
EXCERPT:
YOO: "Well, one thing they can look at is influence peddling, beyond just the Biden family. Are there other Democratic politicians who engage in the same kind of conduct? They get their brothers hired, their sisters hired, their kids hired by foreign governments, foreign corporations or even U.S. corporations, and then try to help those companies out. Look, the Justice Department actually goes after a lot of American companies when they do exactly the same thing abroad. If you were in Exxon and you hired, say, the son of the head of Saudi Arabia, you would be prosecuted like that. So why can’t Republican DAs do the same here in the United States? And look, I don’t want this norm to have been broken. I wish we were not using the criminal justice system to interfere in politics. But how else could you deter Democratic DAs from doing the same thing? If you don’t, they will just keep doing it and doing it worse and worse."
