Trump Says He'll Fire Special Counsel Jack Smith In "2 Seconds": Puts Aileen Cannon on AG Short List


Listen Later

Recent reporting makes clear that Donald Trump is proudly and enthusiastically lawless. First, he announced that if elected he will fire Special Counsel Jack Smith - the very prosecutor who is pursuing Trump in two federal criminal cases - adding that he will fire him "within two seconds" of taking office. Of course, a president can't fire a special counsel, only an Attorney General can. Trump's lawlessness is reminiscent of Richard Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre," when he ordered several DOJ officials to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox who had subpoenaed Nixon's tapes. Neither Attorney General Elliot Richardson nor Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus would follow Nixon's corrupt order. By putting Judge Aileen Cannon on the short list to be his Attorney General, it feels like Trump may believe he has someone who would do his corrupt bidding and put a stop to his federal prosecutions by hook or by crook.
