Leo Terrell: What Is Best for the Legal System and for America Is to Stop These Political Trials Against Trump

FAULKNER: “His new op ed is titled ‘Dem lawfare puts Trump through hell, but hardly breaks a sweat,’ and argues, ‘The pile-on of prosecutors doesn’t sit well with many voters. Even those who don’t like Trump have even greater dislike for the weaponization of the legal system.’ In ‘Focus,’ Leo Terrell, attorney and Fox News contributor. This might be the thing that unites everybody, including independents. No one likes for the law’s hand to be unfair. The law, we know the hand of the law is long enough, but if it is applied with unfairness, that’s tough, Leo.”
TERRELL: “You’re absolutely right, Harris. You know, what makes this country great is our rule of law, it’s our system of justice. We follow the rule of law. It is not being applied to President Trump — and Harris, I apologize for keep saying this. These decisions are political in nature. These cases are political against Trump. It doesn’t make sense. And I think when you saw that reduction in the bond requirement, that was a message from the appellate court that this was excessive. I think it’s the beginning of the end for this particular case.”
FAULKNER: “You know, it’s interesting, it also gave some political cover to Democrats because of Letitia James, in all of her thirst to ‘get Trump,’ had started snatching up his assets, I don’t know if Democrats had gamed that out up until maybe it might have happened. That is, this plays in Trump’s favor politically. So if it is, as you say, as much a political game, they are not winning right now the way they are playing it. That plays to his hand. I want to continue to monitor the massive search coming up next, but, Leo, before we move on, what needs to happen next? You have Trump calling this lead prosecutor for the April 15th trial a Biden thug. What needs to happen?”
TERRELL: “I’ll tell you right now, in my opinion, what’s best for the legal system and for America is to stop these political trials. Let the election process work its way out. I don’t think Trump should be forced to go to trial in April. I think you will see that trial delayed because anticipate, Harris, a lot of pre-trial motions, the immunity issue, expect some appeals. So hopefully the Democrats will get the message: stop the political trials, let the voters decide who should become our next president.”
FAULKNER: “All right. And that was the point that the former president was making. But what you are saying is legally, too, that should be what happens? Real quick.”
TERRELL: “Absolutely. This judge — again, the Democrats, I’ll be very clear, are obsessed. They want a conviction on Trump. The Democrats, CNN, MSNBC, the progressive wing of the Democrat Party want a conviction and that’s what they are driving for, and they are hoping that will have some effect on the voters. I don’t think it will. I think if you look at the polling, the voters get it.”
FAULKNER: “Yeah, you know, when we looked at the polling on a conviction months and months ago, it would have made a difference. A lot has changed since then, though. And when you dig down into the question with independents, that’s where you are seeing a little bit of a shift, because people are starting to pay more attention to what’s going on. And what are they seeing? A victory yesterday for the former president. They’re seeing pressure applied. These DAs and AGs, I’m talking Fani Willis, you know, the video surfacing of them just spitting his name out as they were running for powerful seats of office, so on and so forth. Leo Terrell, always a pleasure to have you on. I’m sure I’ll see you soon.”
TERRELL: “Thank you, Harris. Thanks for having me.”
