no, no, i think it s the opposite. i think that house republican committee has the responsibility to exercise oversight, the congress and calling on fellow democrats to join those republicans to exercise oversight on these weaponized prosecutors. by the way i with i shall they d throw in the wprosecutors that did what they did to me, this should not be a partisan thing. the risk for the republicans in the house if what they turn into what they re doing into investigations into democrats. stop that stuff and investigate uncontrolled prosecutors who have turned themselves into political weapons and persecutors. we need checks and balance on their uncontrolled power, they are the ones the biggest threat to our democracy and election integrity. neil: are you saying, sir, if they just go after democrats, that would be mistake? i think this going after the other party for political reasons is wrong, whether it s a republican doing it to a democrat or a democrat doing it to a republican.
and the roster of enemies have to keep expanding, right? at cpac and at waco, you know, the enemies list is longer ask longer. in waco at the rally, he had placards with witch hunt passed out. preprinted. yes, so they would get on tv. so it s very important with his bonding with the public to be the victim, and the victim of the deep state. it s also lucrative. since this idea of his possible indictment came out, he s raised over $1.5 million. in terms of the importance of him defining himself as a victim, he s effectively making a case to his supporters that extreme action is justified to rescue him, to stand up for him, to stop his persecutors who are terrible people. how does violence fit into that? obviously the january 6th example, the people who have been prosecuted for their role
said, the prosecutor s job is to put the law on the facts and make an appropriate charge. that church may be a felony. and maybe a misdemeanor. that s what his job is. the republicans are gonna scream up and down, they re gonna throw a fit, and when more serious charges, come i suspect they re gonna do exactly the same thing and call it political and say these people are left persecutors, it s a witch hunt. we ve heard all this continuously since his presidency. prosecutors cannot be dissuaded by that. i don t think either alvin bragg or fani willis are going to care about what kevin mccarthy and jim jordan have to say. they can send these ridiculous letters wanting to interrogate a local prosecutor, that s nonsense. they have no jurisdiction there. so the prosecutors are gonna want to make sure they have proof for every single element of every crime. they want to make sure that they ve anticipated the defenses. they want to make sure they
defend. how do you see this narrative playing out, if and when that indictment does come down, and the process, as paul puts it, starts? where do you think the republican party settles itself in its defense of trump at that point? it s kind of funny. i guess some crimes are too big for trump and some that are too small. so we re supposed to find the ones that are just the right size for donald trump. and that silly, because as paul said, the prosecutor s job is to put the law on the facts and make an appropriate charge. that church may be a felony. and maybe a misdemeanor. that s what his job is. the republicans are gonna scream up and down, they re gonna throw a fit, and when more serious charges, come i suspect they re gonna do exactly the same thing and call it political and say these people are left persecutors, it s a witch hunt. we ve heard all this continuously since his presidency. prosecutors cannot be dissuaded by that. i don t think either alvin bragg or fani willis are go
