BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): So, to sum up, of the four cases, only one of them appears to have serious legal merit at this point. Again, we don't know about the Georgia case because the indictment hasn't come down yet, so we can't actually adjudicate what they've got or what they're charging him with. But, just from the speculation -- so, we have two that have not yet been filed, and we have two that have been filed. Of the two that have been filed, the Manhattan DA's case is absolute crap.
The case that has been filed in Florida with regard to classified documents, it appears that they have Trump, maybe, dead to rights evidentiarily speaking. But, politically speaking, which may make a difference with the jury, Hillary did, like, the exact same thing. I mean, so much so that Donald Trump, in that case, apparently told his lawyers he loved what Hillary's lawyers did, and he'd love to do it also. So, I mean, again, if the idea here is the DOJ does not charge Hillary, but they definitely charge Trump, that double standard of justice may be a jury nullification play, particularly in the state of Florida where Trump remains very, very popular. So, there is that, which has led to speculation that Jack Smith will file very similar charges in New Jersey, where Trump will get a much less favorable jury. But all it takes is one juror to actually say no to basically scuttle the case. So, that's the one with merit, but the one with merit becomes non-meritorious once you add in Hillary Clinton to the mix.
