Summary

Donald Trump is forever threatening to prosecute his enemies: Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Leticia James, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Christopher Krebs, Miles Taylor, John Brennan, James Comey and on and on and on. Yet none of these individuals have been criminally charged. There are several reasons for the lack of criminal charges. One reason - there is a complete absence of evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the people on Trump's enemies list. Another reason - if Trump's DOJ tried to prosecute any of these people, they likely would have a strong "vindictive prosecution" defense. The most recent focus of Trump's revenge is Senator Adam Schiff. Glenn discusses why Sen. Schiff would have a strong vindictive prosecution claim in the event Pam Bondi was foolish enough, reckless enough, or unethical enough to bring criminal charges against Schiff.
