'The View' co-hosts argued over the indictment of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday as Alyssa Farah Griffin said he wasn't going to go to jail for this.
"The View" co-hosts clashed over the indictment of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that it wasn't "taking Donald Trump down."arraignment of former President Donald Trump"Two things can be true at once. Yesterday was a bad day for Donald Trump. The first indicted former president, I want to see this guy held accountable. This case is not taking Donald Trump down," Griffin said.
Co-host Sunny Hostin, a lawyer and former federal prosecutor, skeptically asked how her fellow co-host knew that. "There was no conspiracy charge, which a lot of people were looking to sense. The felony charges, the max sentence is four years but this is a first time offender, it’s a non-violent crime. It's a class E felony, every legal expert I talked to saying most likely a fine and probation," Griffin continued.
"I'll tell you why they're wrong, as this legal expert," Hostin responded."I will tell you why you're wrong. Prosecutors are not only in the business of prosecuting crimes, we’re in the business of sending out a message. If you let the President of the United States be found guilty of one to 34 counts, even if they are misdemeanors, and he gets to go home scot-free, you’re sending a message to the country.
Farah Griffin insisted Trump was"not going to jail for this" and said it's not"scot-free" because she believes it's going to end up being a"fine and probation.""This is this guy’s job. So, let’s let him do his job. Just the same way we say – the job is – you don’t bring stuff you don’t think you can prove. So he thinks he can do it,"
