This is just about the worst prep -- post- presidential life imaginable because Donald Trump has been given basically positive reinforcement for his whole life for criminal conduct.
It looks like the days of him receiving preferential treatment from the U.S. government, from the prosecutors, from the state governments, and, most importantly, from the courts are now appears to be over.
There’s this powerful gap, Trump, between what he’s saying out of court, and what his lawyers are saying in court.
I think that this really almost forces Merrick Garland, given what the Court of Appeal said last week, to do -- to indict Donald Trump there say -- the Court of Appeals saying, this is really serious, there's no abuse of rights.
