Democrats and Never Trump Republicans have settled on a talking point after a New York appeals court lowered the bond that former President Donald Trump has to post in order to appeal a civil fraud case from $464 million to $175 million — that the former president benefits from a two-tiered justice system.
Former New York Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell told MSNBC on Monday:
This is a different process for this person. We have decided that he gets his own private court of justice. He has a private plane. He has private clubs that he lives in. Apparently, he basically fashioned himself a private militia to try to take over the Capitol. Now he’s getting his own private system of justice. This is an absolute travesty. It would not happen for anybody else. Anybody else, it would be like, ‘Sorry, buddy, you lost.’ For him? He gets his own set of rules.
Another MSNBC talking head, former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed:
Of course there is a tw0-tiered justice system in this country. … But it is definitely not tiered in the way that Donald Trump is describing. And he’s implying that he is the one who is treated worse. When actually, the opposite is true.
