Michael Cohen: Merrick Garland Took Too Long in Expediting the Case Against Donald Trump

EXCERPT:

COHEN: "Yeah, not only did Merrick Garland take too long, and I‘ve been critical of Merrick Garland for a very long time. It‘s too bad he didn‘t become a Supreme Court judge, because that‘s where he belongs, where they can spend four, five, six months coming up with a decision. These cases needed to move expeditiously. Not only did this case not move expeditiously, neither did the Alvin Bragg case. They waited, as Mark Pomerantz put it, over a year too long. So all of these issues now that are going on with sentencing and with the criminal conviction, I hate to say it, and people will get angry at me, I was very clear when I spoke to Vanity Fair, I believe that they should toss the case. There is no repercussion that is going to take place to Donald Trump on that case. As far as what Paula Reid said, I agree with her completely. Merrick Garland waited too long to bring in Jack Smith, plain and simple. He is going to, meaning Donald Trump, is going to shut that down. This case will never see accountability for whether he did or he didn‘t. Now, where she‘s also correct is that this case with Jack Smith has not been decided yet. So to release a report that has not been validated, that Jack Smith, as the special counsel, has not been validated, I think goes against process. And we have to start expecting process needs to be first, whether you like Donald Trump or you don‘t."
