On Thursday, sitting with “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, George Conway called “the shortest distance between Donald Trump and an orange jumpsuit.”
The lawyer, former Trump aide and husband of Kellyanne Conway, was on a morning news program to discuss Trump’s deceptive campaign fundraising and where that money was really going — “Trump is using it to pay legal fees.” and are using it to keep people happy and silent,” he said.
But the verdict against the twice-impeached former president is a bit more straightforward than those developing claims: The FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property and his handling of classified documents still haunts him.
“The calculations for that are going to be broader than that piece of fundraising civil fraud, grift it,” Conway said. “I mean, that was, in fact, a broad-based conspiracy to stop the operation of the federal government because it was undergoing a peaceful transfer of power. And that is, you know, more than money, any More than anything, it is the most valuable thing in our democracy. If there is justice in this world, it should be accounted for here.”
“However, the irony is that simple things often take days,” he said, “and the matter of documents is outright theft and lying.”
Looking exclusively at The Washington Post new reporting After discovering that Trump ordered his Mar-a-Lago employees to transfer classified documents taken after receiving summons for their return, Conway concluded that, “Donald Trump and in that case an orange jumpsuit because it’s so easy.”
“It’s like an American lawyer trying to bring a huge mob case against five families and trying to link it to the boss, and all of a sudden, they get a call from the NYPD saying ‘Hey, Big Boss. ‘Capo, loading jewelry on a truck at Kennedy Airport,” Conway said. “Here’s what happened. He has been caught red-handed.”
