Marc Elias: Trump Anticipates That He Will ‘Finally Find Someone’ Who’s a Fool to Charge Letitia James

‘That will be an absolute travesty of justice’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ELIAS: “Yeah. So first of all.o. The reverend’s rhetorical question, of course, Donald Trump. Anticipates that he will. Finally find someone who, to use. The words. Of the prosecutors in new. York who resigned rather than dismiss the charges against. Eric Adams. Until he. Finds someone. Who is a fool or a coward. Enough to do it, and that. Will be. An absolute travesty of justice. And I have some. Confidence that the judges will. See it as such. I have some. Confidence that the judges would dismiss the indictment. I have every confidence that a jury would eventually acquit. But at what cost? At what cost? As you say. Alicia. To not just to shames. But to the. Administration of justice. You know. I had on my podcast a few months. Ago, Dan Goldman, who is a. Congressman from. New York who’s a former federal prosecutor. And he made a really. Important point, which is, you. Know, for. People who really want law and order, for people who want the bad guys to be. Prosecuted and put in jail, this. Is terrible news, because the politicization of the department. Of justice gives all of. Those bad guys now. A series of arguments that they are the victims of. Political prosecutions when. They’re not. Because it becomes. Impossible to know. Which are the. Real prosecutions and which are. The trumped up ones ordered up by the White House. And so. This is bad. All the way around. Whether you are a fan of the attorney. General of New York, whether you. View. Her as courageous as I do, or even if you are a critic, this is just bad for democracy.”
