A former Department of Justice official smiled and predicted calamity for Donald Trump over a report that an investigation into special counsel Jack Smith is ramping up.
Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Andrew Weissmann was asked about an investigation into whether Smith violated the Hatch Act when he investigated Donald Trump’s crimes against the state that included an attempt to lead an insurrection and stealing government documents and hoarding them in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.
Pressed by the hosts over what to expect, Weissmann said the president better hope it never reaches the point where it ends up in a trial.
“If they were actually to bring a case, this is the last thing that you would think the Trump administration and Trump himself would want,” he said with a slight smile.
“He [Trump] spent years trying to avoid, and largely being successful, avoiding any of these cases, going to trial,” he pointed out. “And if he’s going to have a trial here, that’s going to be a forum for Jack Smith and people to put on the evidence that he has tried for so long to avoid.”
