Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Wiseman said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump has been treated “super fairly” by our justice system.
“When we look at this, we see that this is not a reflection of Donald Trump. We know who he is. He has committed acts like this,” Wiseman said. As he gets closer, it will become more and more over the top. This is a story about how our educational institutions fail to deal with these situations. Usually when I am involved in organized crime cases or violent crimes, When dealing with people, there is a process by which they have adhered to standards. If they were engaged in this context, yes, they would be given a bite at the apple, a bite at the warning, and as a result… can and does include prison. Think about a moment ago, Paul Manafort, he induced two witnesses to lie. He committed obstruction of justice and was remanded by the federal judge who oversaw his case.
He added, “I really think this is a situation where so many people are bending over backwards, given how many times the former president has given the benefit of the doubt. I think it’s a road to hell. By not yet holding a thought trial, by not investigating him in a timely manner, by not holding him to exactly the same standards, we are both violating our oaths of office, and we are all violating our oaths of office. What does it mean to have a judicial system that holds people to the same standard? I know that a lot of times that comes from trying to be super-fair, but it’s connected to more than just two judicial systems. It’s a unique justice system for Donald Trump, and it’s not constant with what it means to have a democracy.. It’s a unique justice system for Donald Trump, and it’s not constant with what it means to have a democracy. If we don’t hold him to the same standards as the rest of us, we may end up without a democracy.”
Wiseman added: “The idea that he could say he’s been treated unfairly is so ridiculous because everyone on this committee says he’s been treated with kid gloves by the system.” Because it is,” he added.
