KVETCHY CHRIS: Christie: Trump Goes To Bed Every Night ‘Thinking About The Sound Of The Jail Cell Door Closing’

GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie stated on Tuesday that former President Trump constantly worries about the possibility of going to jail due to his federal indictment consisting of 37 counts related to classified documents. Christie, the ex-governor of New Jersey, expressed his belief that based on the indictment, Trump would likely be convicted and ultimately face incarceration if the case went to trial. During an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Christie suggested that in order to avoid jail time, Trump might consider accepting a plea deal rather than proceeding to trial, despite his claims of fearlessness.

According to Christie, the Department of Justice typically extends plea offers, and if such an offer is rejected and the defendant is subsequently convicted at trial, the judge usually imposes a prison sentence. Christie, known for his vocal criticisms of Trump during the presidential campaign, remarked,  “Because part of what the Department of Justice has always done, under all of the attorneys general that I’ve seen in my lifetime, is if we offer you a plea — which I’m certain they will — and you turn it down and you take us to trial and you’re convicted, that judge is sending you to jail.

“And I’m telling you, no matter what he says no matter how he’s bragging and going on and on, about him not being afraid, he goes to bed every night, thinking about the sound of that jail cell door closing behind them,” he said.

“So the point of all that, really is to say, when push comes to shove, I’m not so sure [Trump] won’t take a plea. Because if that’s the only way he knows he can avoid prison, I think he just may,” he added.

“I saw a post he put up yesterday that the raid on his on his home was a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights,” Christie dded. “Well, he generally has really [weak] lawyers. So let me give them a little advice. When they get a court order from a United States District Court judge, it’s not a violation of your Fourth Amendment rights.”
