Ryan Goodman Warns Trump Enablers About Future Criminal Liability
Former Department of Defense lawyer Ryan Goodman discussed the fact that Trump's latest threat to federalize elections is illegal, while warning any of his enablers that they should worry about criminal exposure if they want to try to help Trump deprive people of their votes.
Goodman made an appearance on this Thursday's Erin Burnett OutFront on CNN, and was asked about Trump's enablers' latest push to get him to use a phony "national emergency" as an excuse to control elections.
Goodman had some good news about how the courts might handle this, since they're probably showing their hands too early, and people are ready to take them to court immediately over that stupidity, and he also discussed the potential criminal liability of those involved.
BURNETT: Ryan, just to be clear here, I just am pointing something out that if it didn't stand out to anyone as I said it, because it was fast, they're not mentioning Russia interfering in the election because they're not going to do that, obviously. They're putting it on China.
I'm not saying that China would or wouldn't do it, but I just am making the point here that bipartisan Congress acknowledged that Russia did interfere and they're not mentioning that.
So you call this, so that the premise, right, is off to begin with, election interference on steroids. Can Trump do this?
