hearing today before a judge cannon. whether trump should be treated like any other defendant in a federal prosecution or whether certain allowances should be made because, not only is he a former president, but he s a candidate for office running against the incumbent president. todd blanche said today being prosecuted by that administration. and that drew a s sharp rebuke from the special counsel s office. he s quick to say, none of us are political appointees. we are all here just to do our job and enforce the rule of law. i think judge cannon and whoever this case is assigned to will try to take into account the fact that president trump has first amendment rights and that he is a political actor with political speech rights. but you don t just get to say, i m busy, i have other things going on. every defendant, or most defendants have other employment, other obligations. that is not an excuse for postponing a trial for infinity. joyce, you heard john brennan say it, when jamie r
whoever this case is assigned to will try to take into account the fact that president trump has first amendment rights and that he is a political actor with political speech rights. but you don t just get to say, i m busy, i have other things going on. every defendant, or most defendants have other employment, other obligations. that is not an excuse for postponing a trial for infinity. joyce, you heard john brennan say it, when jamie raskin said at the other day. at some point we, running for office or being in office is working as a racket for donald. trump you can t prosecute him when he s president, you can prosecute when he s running for president. of course, if he wins again, you won t be able to prosecute him as president again. maybe in 2037, someone will be able to hold donald trump up for justice, if using his logic, how do you break that logic? right. so i think director brennan says it just right. it s unacceptable.
