Charles Blow: Trump Is ‘Flaunting the Whole Idea of a Presumption of Innocence’

‘There‘s an actual human being here who is being charged with something’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

BLOW: “Yeah, I think that that answered that Ben just gave was absurd because there‘s an actual human being here who is being charged with something. And if the evidence does not support that, that person did what the president says that he did, he cannot be charged. You know, we are flaunting the whole idea of a presumption of innocence in the country. We‘re we‘re flaunting the whole idea that this person may not have done it. And jeanine Shapiro has basically come to the conclusion that he did not do what the president said that he did and what what the president is now saying, that I don‘t care what evidence you have, I want this done because it saves spacex. It saves face for me. This. I want there to be have been vandalism and not there have to be been reckless application of this kind of coding so that it saves my face. So are we really going to say this person has done nothing wrong and that the president gets to put his thumb”
