HOOVER: Prominent Democratic lawyer David Boies has suggested that this is a political prosecution, that Donald Trump would not have been indicted on these charges if his name were Donald Smith. Your response? CONWAY: I don't think it's a political prosecution. I think the fact that he is prominent makes a difference in whether or not you are prosecuted. If you commit crimes and you are prominent, you're more likely to be prosecuted. And in addition, when prosecutors exercise prosecutorial discretion, they look at who the offender is and what other offenses they have committed. This man's a criminal. He's a criminal in multiple respects. He's behaved like a criminal his entire life. And I don't think he deserves a pass on anything. And I made that point in a Washington Post editorial piece I wrote in 2021, the day after Biden took office, where basically I said, whatever grace you might extend to a former president for his offenses, whether they be private, personal, during, in office or out of office, should not be extended to this man who basically tried to destroy American democracy. He committed the gravest offense that anyone could commit, and whatever they can get him for is fine with me. HOOVER: Here's, here's a question. Does the fact that he is the former president and the current major party nominee create a set of circumstances where he's treated with kid gloves, he's actually treated better? CONWAY: I agree with that. I think that's always been the case with Donald Trump. For example– HOOVER: What would have happened if somebody broke their gag order ten times? CONWAY: They'd already be in jail. But I have another example. Look at how long it took for the Justice Department to act on the stolen classified documents. If you or I had worked in the White House, and we had taken documents, that many documents home and there was an investigation into it, we wouldn't have gotten multiple chances to give the documents back. Our homes would have been raided, and we would have been arraigned the next day.
