The Trump Verdict: The Case, The Rule of Law & What Comes Next


Listen Later

Jim is back just in time to discuss the fallout from Thursday's verdict, as a Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying his campaign expenditures in 2016.

First, they dissect the many different ways this case was twisted to target Trump - from the creative dating on the statute of limitations, to the unprecedented contortions needed to turn it into a felony, to a judge who seemed partial throughout the trial to the basic fact that no one other than Trump would likely have faced these charges. And they note that a lot of legal experts who openly don't like Trump are highly critical of the case being brought and the way it was conducted.

Next, they assess the contention of many on the right that this case and this verdict are clear evidence that the left is openly using the justice system for political ends and that the rule of law itself is in danger of collapse. Jim offers a simple but powerful explanation of what justice should be and why we fell short of that standard in this case.

Finally, they conclude that the Biden team made the right call in sending the president out for an on-camera victory lap on Thursday. They suspect it might have something to do with the disastrous De Niro PR stunt this week - and because Trump may not be the only convicted felon in Biden's orbit within the next few weeks.
