What a shitty article. They only stated the 1st half of his statement providing the reason he dropped the case. It wasn’t because the case never should have been brought (as the Trump statement says), but because the case is more suitable as a Federal case like the one Jack Smith was pursuing (and still can, once Trump is no longer president).
Great reasoning… leave it for when it doesn’t matter anymore
He’s not exactly wrong, though. Trump pulled the same scam in several states…which automatically makes it a federal matter. However, I disagree that it shouldn’t also be prosecuted at the state level.
If they violated state law, they should be held accountable in state court. It would guarantee the guilty parties wouldn’t be eligible for a presidential pardon.
