Scott Jennings: Dems Now Say that Biden’s DoJ Engage in Selective Prosecutions, Hence the Need for People to Clean it Out

MCGOWAN: “You can go to justice.gov and see all the people that Trump —“
PHILLIP: “Let me ask you this, Scott, because this is a fair point. Donald Trump pardoned Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn.

There seems to be bipartisan consensus. Selective prosecutions —“
PHILLIP: “Does it open that door, congressman?”
Bowman: “What door? I’m sorry.”
PHILLIP: “The door to say, well, there is corruption in the DoJ. Let’s put it out.”
