"For those wondering why Harris doesn't say more about Trump's criminal trials and his guilt..."



Andrew Weissmann
For those wondering why Harris doesn't say more about Trump's criminal trials and his guilt, it is because she is a sitting VP, and the White House does not weigh in on--and prejudice--a pending criminal case by speaking of a defendant's guilt. So when the crowd chants "Lock Him Up", she wisely quips "we will leave that to the courts; what we are going to do is beat him at the ballot box." By doing that, she is serving to protect the criminal case going forward.

What I do wonder is why she hasn't mentioned he'd kill NATO and pull our of Ukraine and let Israel flatten Gasa.

from chanting lock him up was more similar to Obama's line about not booing and to vote instead. And it's just something our democratic officials shouldn't get into.

But yes, she isn’t going to comment on anything else happening or not happening.
