JOHN ROBERTS [HOST]: Is there, among Trump supporters, enough of a distrust of the FBI and the DOJ that anybody who pledges to pardon the president has got a leg up here because that feeds into their whole narrative about distrust of government?
ARI FLEISCHER [GUEST]: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, John. I think every wise Republican should make a pledge they would pardon Donald Trump because in effect, the Obama administration pardoned Hillary Clinton. She committed equally, somewhat equally, the same crime, alleged crime that Donald Trump is accused of. Classified information at her home that she did not handle properly, top secret information, and then she destroyed evidence. The Obama administration looked the other way. The Department of Justice let Comey make the decision. That was, in essence, pardoning Hillary Clinton. So why would it be any different than Donald Trump? And that's what Republican primary voters know.
