He didn't have a huge amount of support in the political world.
voice-verified
So this was a big gamble and demonstrated and this will be what Donald Trump liked about him, a huge amount of loyalty as well as belief in Donald Trump as a phenomenon as well as a person.
voice-verified
Yeah, from what he said about weaponization in his hearings, he's clearly going along Donald Trump's track, which is to be incredibly critical of what they say was the political weaponization of the justice system to target Donald Trump specifically during Joe Biden's term.
voice-verified
But to do the same thing themselves and think it's perfectly legitimate for them to use the justice system to target uh people who, for instance, were involved in some of those prosecutions, like um Letitia James or political opponents whom they don't like to find ways to try and prosecute them, everybody from the um former head of the Federal Reserve to uh congresspeople who were involved in the January the sixth hearings.
voice-verified
And he does seem to be somebody who is prepared to go
voice-verified
along with that agenda for Donald Trump.
voice-verified
But it shows us, I think, doesn't it, just how
voice-verified
Completely different the way the Attorney General's role is being viewed in this White House.
voice-verified
If you listen to Joe Biden announcing his pick for Attorney General, Merrick Garland, um just after the Jan Six Riots, actually, as it happens, and you'll you'll hear a very different idea of what the role is supposed to be.
voice-verified
Have a listen to this.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
But of course, look at Merrick Garland and the way he operated uh during Joe Biden's presidency, which is he was incredibly cautious and incredibly slow to bring any cases against Donald Trump.
voice-verified
Some of the um cases against Ronald Trump were not federal ones and they were brought by other prosecutors.
voice-verified
But Merrick Garland was responsible for uh deciding whether or not there should be a prosecution around January the sixth, for instance.
voice-verified
Now he had moved quicker on that.
voice-verified
We could be in a very, very different situation because that could have come to trial, for instance, which it didn't, um uh it wasn't really even that close to it by the time Donald Trump was re-elected.
voice-verified
But also if that had gone first, and that's what Donald Trump was in court over, not over the Stormy Daniels payments, not over some of the more minor issues that he was prosecuted for in New York, where people did think there was a bit of legal overreach.
voice-verified
But if there was a big
voice-verified
federal case looking at whether or not he incited the January the sixth riots.
voice-verified
That could have completely changed the political story about the way he was able to spin the um legal cases against him, make himself sound like a victim of um weaponized justice.
