CNN Legal Analyst's Take On Trump Verdict Will Probably Anger Liberals

If there’s one legal analyst I can tolerate on CNN, it’s Elie Honig.

Honig is a former assistant US Attorney and the network's senior legal analyst who has given nuanced and fair takes on the legal drama surrounding Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

He’s not a conservative or a Trump fan, but I’d take a sensible analysis of the lawfare we’ve seen against Trump over whatever the hell Norm Eisen was spewing last night: Norm Eisen, former Obama official & architect behind the lawfare cases against Trump, can barely contain his excitement at the prospects of Trump going to prison.

“Imprisonment is routinely imposed.

This is the most serious falsifying business records case in history.” Says Trump would be getting “special treatment” if Merchan didn’t sentence him to prison.

The funny part about Eisen is his enjoyment of the prospect of jailing Donald Trump.

As Honig and others noted, that’s unlikely to happen.

Second, Eisen got everything wrong about this verdict and its implications.
