Trump’s big mouth is getting him into ‘deeper trouble’ and could get him incarcerated: legal expert

Former President Donald Trump cannot help himself when it comes to making inflammatory comments about his own legal jeopardy, and former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Saland argued on Tuesday that could send him to jail.

Appearing on CNN, Saland said that Trump’s habit of incriminating himself in public statements — as well as his attacks on judges, prosecutors, and witnesses — was coming back to haunt him.

“His words [are] getting him deeper and deeper in trouble,” he argued. “Ultimately this is going to catch up to him. He’s got Georgia, the city of New York, now he has the federal probe that’s been ongoing, just one on top of the other. The more he does this, and the more he uses his words without his counsel… he will find himself in deeper trouble legally. I would not be shocked ultimately if he does end up incarcerated, which is something I would not have thought months ago.”

Saland was then asked why he now thought jail time for Trump was more likely than not.

“So many different things that are developing that are really significant crimes,” he replied, and in particular pointed to evidence piling up against Trump in the Mar-a-Lago documents case that could easily get him slapped with felony charges.

Trump’s revenge crusade on Adam Schiff crashes into brick wall: report



President Donald Trump sought to target Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) after the lawmaker served on the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 probe and worked on both impeachment cases. That effort has reportedly hit a brick wall, however.

Last week, MSNBC revealed that the Maryland prosecutor who went after former National Security Advisor John Bolton was stuck on the Schiff case, so she pivoted to focus more on Bolton. Now it appears the Schiff case has stalled entirely.

Writing Thursday, Ryan J. Reilly, Kristen Welker, Michael Kosnar and Carol E. Lee wrote for NBC News that the investigation “came to a standstill," according to a federal law enforcement official.

U.S. Attorney Kelly Hayes reportedly met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier this week to ask how to move forward without the goods on Schiff.

"The decision out of that meeting was for Hayes to pursue more evidence, and the case remains ongoing," reported NBC, citing one of the sources.

Schiff has retained former Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as his counsel.

In a statement to NBC News, Bharara said: “It seems pretty clear that a team of career prosecutors have thoroughly reviewed the politically-motivated allegations against Senator Schiff and found they are unsupported by any evidence and are baseless.”

“The transparently vindictive effort to pursue the Senator has no merit, and if there is any justice left in the Justice Department, this should be the end of the matter,” he added.
