trump couldn t be controlled or constrained in any other way. so donald trump s former attorney general bill barr made the tv rounds again over the weekend, largely defending the department of justice. saying the charges against trump are not a result of a weaponized doj. i don t like, you know, all these overkill attacks, that this was somehow reprehensible to bring it. what was reprehensible was the conduct after the election. it s perfectly to be expected that the department of justice would approach it the way it would approach something like this, which is under the laws against defrauding the united states and obstructing proceedings. i think it s a legitimate case. i don t understand the attacks on the department, saying it s abusive or it is weaponization for bringing this case. when someone says, you know, this is unfair, this is, you know, there s some other motive, the first question is, okay, was
including ron desantis, they argue trump couldn t get a fair trial here in washington, d.c. what do you think? i think he can get a perfectly fair trial anywhere. i think his problem is the evidence. he got a fair trial in new york in the jean carroll case where there was a fellow who was on the jury who list listened to a right-wing podcast and he joined the rest of the jurors in returning a verdict of $5 million for jean carroll within two or three hours of the jury being sent away into the deliberations room. and i just don t think there s any there are going to be people there who are going to be you know, they ll have different political views. obviously, the district of columbia is a good venue for the prosecution, but these are going to be very smart, very intelligent and very fair-minded people if the judge does the voir dire correctly. yeah, guys, thank you very much. the investigation, obviously,
