Avlon: Dems Didn’t Put Trump In Jail ‘Because They Were Afraid of Politicizing It’

‘We’re 60 days out from an election, and I think we’ve normalized this a little bit, and it’s far too freaking dangerous’

EXCERPT:

McMASTER: "Yeah, I tell you, what we’ve seen is this tendency on both ends of the political spectrum to score partisan points at the expense of confidence in our institutions."
MAHER: "Yeah, but Trump really does commit crimes. Let’s not forget that little part of it. (Applause) They’re actual crimes."
AVLON: "We’re 60 days out from an election, and I think we’ve normalized this a little bit, and it’s far too freaking dangerous."
MAHER: "He really does commit crimes, is one thing. And two, if the positions were reversed, and a Democrat did this, not only would the Republicans go after him, but they would have done it, instead of what the Democrats do. Talk about feckless, General. This is feckless. You had four years to bring four trials, and we get none of them?"
AVLON: "And it’s because they were afraid of politicizing it. Look, that’s the thing, is that if Democrats did what Donald Trump did, you would be opposing him totally, and by the way, so would. And I think that’s the issue."
