MSNBC panel practically drools over Trump getting ‘freaked out’ at notorious Fulton County jail

Left-wing pundits are practically drooling over former President Donald J. Trump’s upcoming surrender to Fulton County, Georgia authorities with an MSNBC panel delightfully discussing the GOP frontrunner being booked at the city’s notorious “hellhole” of a jail.

Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks and Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin joined host Alicia Menendez on Saturday’s edition of “American Voices With Alicia Menendez” where the topic was the former president and his troubles, most recently, the legal lynching being put on by politically ambitious Fulton County DA Fani Willis with her racketeering charges.

“Trump, the 18 other codefendants,. they must surrender in Fulton County by Friday. How is this process in Georgia going to be different from what we’ve seen in federal court?” Menendez asked.

“It’s going to be very different because they have said that they are going to do mug shots and fingerprints,” Wine-Banks answered as the trio of harpies was clearly enjoying Trump’s plight. “And he will be turning himself in at the Fulton County Jail, not in a federal building, not in a clean, nice environment. It is, from what we hear from the press, a really dirty, dangerous, scary place.”

“So it’s going to be a very different picture,” she added. “And I think the picture of him there, I think his experience of being in a real jail – I can tell you that some of the Watergate defendants, when they were put in the D.C. jail, really freaked out. And we had to move them to an Army base where they could be housed without being in fear at all times so that they could cooperate and testify.”

Ironically, the same Justice Department that is looking to stuff Trump into a federal prison cell is probing the hellish and inhumane conditions at the Fulton County jail.

“People in prisons and jails are entitled to basic protections of their civil rights,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a recent DOJ statement. “We launched this investigation into the Fulton County Jail based on serious allegations of unsafe, unsanitary living conditions at the jail, excessive force and violence within the jail, discrimination against incarcerated individuals with mental health issues, and failure to provide adequate medical care to incarcerated individuals. During this comprehensive review of the conditions of confinement at the Fulton County Jail, the Justice Department will determine whether systemic violations of federal laws exist, and if so, how to correct them.”

Wine-Banks isn’t the only Watergate ghoul who’s getting off on Trump’s trip to the Fulton County hellhole. On Friday night’s edition of “CNN Tonight” analyst and former White House counsel John Dean – who squealed on his boss President Richard M. Nixon – suggested that some of the embattled GOP frontrunner’s 18 co-defendants could be motivated by the jail’s deplorable conditions to cut deals with prosecutors.

“The jail he’s going to surrender at is a hellhole,” the 84-year-old Dean told host Jim Acosta. “It has been — it has received a lot of negative and national attention. I think any of the defendants in this newly-charged case who get a whiff of that place may think twice about whether they want to stand trial or try to work out a deal.”
