Ex-Federal Prosecutor Torches Trump With Brutal Prediction: ‘Not A Snowball’s Chance In Hell’
HuffPost
Andrew Weissmann drew a damning comparison between "normal" Republican administrations and that of Donald Trump.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann offered a stark prediction about how Donald Trump’s administration would handle a possible court ruling restricting its deployment of National Guard troops to cities.
On the “George Conway Explains It All (To Sarah Longwell)” podcast, Weissmann — who was sitting in for conservative attorney George Conway — was asked by longtime GOP strategist Longwell if the White House would abide by such a decision.
His response was blunt: “No.”
“There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that this administration is going to say that a decision in San Francisco is going to bind them,” Weissmann said, referring to a federal judge in San Francisco’s current weighing of whether Trump’s White House violated federal law when he deployed National Guard units to Los Angeles to tackle protests over immigration raids.
Weissmann said that “normal” Republican and Democratic administrations, even if they disagreed with a district court decision, would typically “put things on hold and wait for an appeal” and “have respect for the decision absent some extraordinary circumstance.”
