Summary
Donald Trump is once again turning to Judge Aileen Cannon, hoping that she'll throw him a lifeline. Trump filed a motion to dismiss his obstruction of justice/ espionage/ stolen documents case - claiming that he's the victim of selective prosecution. In other words, Trump alleges that other people who committed the same crimes he committed - haven't been prosecuted, therefore it's unfair to prosecute HIM. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed his reply to Trump's absurd selective prosecution claim - and Smith's court filing reads like an argument to a jury. In this podcast - Glenn reviews the court filing and highlights why Trump's selective prosecution claims should be rejected.
