Trump's documents, Clinton's emails and GOP claims of unequal justice
On last week’s podcast, Diane talked to The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser about the indictment of Donald Trump. One listener emailed after listening to the episode, asking for a clear explanation as to how the former president’s behavior compared with other politicians’ handling – or mishandling -- of government secrets. So that’s what Diane is doing – hosting a conversation about Donald Trump’s documents, Hillary Clinton’s emails, and Republican charges of unequal treatment. Diane’s guest, Mary McCord, is the executive director of Georgetown Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection. She is also a former prosecutor and was Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice from 2016 to 2017. She explained the next steps in the federal case against former President Trump and why she thinks the charges of unequal treatment don’t add up.
