A former federal prosecutor on Friday suggested that local district attorneys put their cases against Donald Trump on hold so federal prosecutors can do the heavy lifting.
Glenn Kirschner during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut with Joy Reid” noted that federal prosecutors have resources that dwarf those of local jurisdictions.
“The prevailing wisdom is the feds will ordinarily try to go to trial first,” Kirschner said. “Now that is no disrespect intended to state prosecutors district attorneys. But I think everybody recognizes that the federal government has more resources. The federal government has an unrivaled conviction rate. I can argue both sides of whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but they do because they only take the strongest cases to trial." Trump has already been indicted by special counsel Jack Smith in the Florida classified documents case and in New York State by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on allegations he paid hush money to Stormy Daniels to hide an illicit affair.
