Elie Honig: ‘Donald Trump’s Political Fortunes’ Were Bolstered by Legal Cases, Helping Him Avoid Punishment

RUSH EXCERPT:

HONIG: "I think what ended up happening here is these prosecutions, as Judge Merchan acknowledged, had the effect of bolstering Donald Trump‘s political fortunes. The American people were certainly not impressed by this one in particular. And the fact that Donald Trump succeeded politically in turn, ended up getting him out of these prosecutions. So I think Judge Merchan had an interesting observation there. We prosecutors like to think we‘re above and separate from the political process, but really we‘re all part of the same constitutional democracy and sometimes the will of the voters wins out."
