Trump is clearly complicit in breaking the same laws that Michael Cohen pled guilty to, and served prison time for. So tell me how can the fixer who delivers the hush money be guilty of election interference, but the candidate who orders it, pays it, conceals it and benefits from it not be. Charles Manson didn’t personally go on the killing spree but he went to prison for it. El Chapo didn’t have the drugs in his ass.”
Maher argued that the issue with the trial is “it’s being tried in the wrong court. If Garland had done his job, Trump would be in federal court charged with breaking campaign finance laws instead of state court charged with falsifying business records.”
Maher also brought up Trump’s classified documents case. Reminding viewers of the specifics, he laid into Garland for not bothering to actually pursue the case with even minimally appropriate urgency. And then he noted how despite dragging his feet for months over investigating Trump, when it came out that Biden also had classified documents, Garland acted much more swiftly.
“By bending over backwards to be fair to the Republican, the Democrat got f—ked,” Maher said, reminding viewers that the special counselor Garland appointed to investigate Biden was a Republican.”
“The upshot in the files cases was to make it look like Biden and Trump were equally guilty which was not true. Biden returned the documents immediately and cooperated fully. So why the need to appoint a special counsel at all? Oh, yes, optics. But of course, the optics wound up being that while Biden was totally exonerated, the Republican counsel took the opportunity to say that the reason Biden wasn’t guilty was it he was too much of a senile, feeble, confused shell of a former man who pooped his pants and can’t remember his kid’s name,” Maher said.
“It took 20 months, 20 months” to appoint a special counselor for Garland to investigate Trump, Maher pointed out. “I know liberals love drag, but maybe don’t do it with the justice system.”
“And now with the most serious of the Trump trials, the one involving his illegal schemes to remain in office, it’s happening again. 59% of Americans, including 26% of Republicans say they want a verdict on this case before the election. But it’s doubtful they’ll get one because for nearly two years our Slow Jam ‘attorney genial’ looked at the statue of Lady Justice and thought I want to be like her: Incapable of moving,” he said.
