Al Sharpton: A Criminal Investigation Against Letitia James Without Evidence of a Crime, Is ‘Disturbing’
RUSH EXCERPT:
SHARPTON: "No. The fact that it went into a criminal investigation when there was no prima facie evidence of a crime, is what’s disturbing. Two things I think we ought not forget. Even when the courts hear the appeals court overturned the fine, they did not overturn the conviction. So they didn’t say that Donald Trump was not guilty of what state attorney general tish James had indicted him for. They just said they felt the fine was too high. And I understand that’s being appealed. But they left the conviction there, which means that she didn’t go after him on the basis of something that wasn’t there. And the carroll case also remained there. So let’s not act like he paying somebody back who made some allegations that were false. Two juries found that she was correct in what she brought against Donald Trump. The other point I want to make is that imagine if you are right, he’s fired. Say the prosecutor in Virginia is fired and you’re asked now to become the prosecutor. Are you really expected that you are going to indict or prosecute tish James after one prosecutor already said there’s nothing there? I mean. I think you mean this as a rhetorical question. As. A rhetorical question is, is what what person would throw their credibility away in their career to come in and do something that has already been determined by your predecessor, who was a Trump loyalist? There’s nothing there. So, I mean, I just don’t understand who would stand up and put their hand up and say, all right, send me in so I can do a kamikaze mission for the president that’s going to be out of office in two and a half years."
