Shapiro: Jailing Trump Could “Backfire On Democrats”

“Andrew Weissman, a former prosecutor, is suggesting that Donald Trump could get jail time if he’s convicted, criminally, for falsifying business records in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

“That trial is slated to begin April 15th in Manhattan. Presumably, it’s gonna take a few weeks for it to go forward, and then, presumably, he will be convicted because this is New York. And then, presumably, a judge might try to sentence him to jail time.

“So you could pretty easily see a situation in which Donald Trump is actually running for the presidency from a jail cell. Now, is that going to hurt Donald Trump in the polling data? 

“I have a feeling that if it looks like a politically motivated case to jail your political opponent, that might actually backfire on Democrats pretty badly.” – Ben Shapiro, on his Daily Wire podcast.
