Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo argues that Republicans need to start prosecuting Democrats in order to return to norms.
“This is what it would look like. You would have to have Republican DAs indict Hunter Biden or indict Joe Biden just in the way that blue state DAs have been indicting President Trump. And wouldn’t be for federal crimes — it would be for things like corruption, fraud, bribery, because that’s the only way I think you can get Democrats to stop abusing the legal system, to stop breaking the norms that they have,” Yoo said.
“I was listening to your introduction to the segment and look, the Democrats are so scared because they have broken all of these rules. They have crossed the Rubicon and now they are worried because once they’ve destroyed these norms in the way they’ve gone Trump, they realized Republicans can turn around and do the exact same thing to them,” he added.
Legal expert and constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley said following former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his hush money trial that he believes there are grounds for an easy reversal on “procedural and constitutional” grounds.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case was based on false accusations, and presiding Judge Juan Merchan severely and possibly unconstitutionally hindered Trump’s defense, according to Turley, a legal expert. Nevertheless, the jury found him guilty on all 34 counts.
Democrats may be feeling somewhat giddy now that Trump is officially a convicted felon—for the time being—but they shouldn’t be.
Trump is becoming more and more popular in regions of the country where it would have seemed unimaginable to some.
The former president demonstrated this last week in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s backyard by raising almost $12 million at a fundraiser with affluent tech industry figures.
