This is the problem Trump has: Legal expert Andy McCarthy

FLORIDA. LIZ: LET'S TAKE THE STORY TO FORMER ASSISTANT ATTORNEY ANDREW McCARTHY. WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE CHARGES, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION? WE ARE HEARING THE RECORDS ACT IS A CIVIL LAW, NOT CRIMINAL. WHY IS TRUMP BEING CRIMINALLY CHARGED HERE? >> BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RECORDS ACT VIOLATION. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY DID THE SEARCH WARRANTS THEY DID TRY TO CRIMINALIZE THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT BY ATTACHING CRIMINAL PENALTIES TO HIS RETENTION OF DOCUMENTS THAT WEREN'T CLASSIFIED OR PART OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE. IN THE INDICTMENT THEY KEEP IT LIMITED TO NATIONAL DEFENSE INFORMATION. THAT'S NOT THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT, THAT COMES UNDER THE ESPIONAGE ACT. IT'S NOT LIKE IN THE SEARCH WARRANT WHERE THEY WERE TRYING TO CRIMINALIZE SOMETHING THAT CONGRESS HADN'T CRIMINALIZED. LIZ: WE HAVE GOT AND LOT OF COMMENTARY COMING IN, THAT THERE IS BIAS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, A DOUBLE STANDARD. IN THE HILLARY CLINTON CASE, JOE BIDEN HAD DOCUMENTS DATING BACK TO HIS TIME IN THE SENATE. REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING THIS IS GOING TO DIVIDE THE NATION. >> IT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO DIVIDE THE NATION, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A LONG RECORD THAT GOES ON FOR YEARS. HILLARY CLINTON IS THE WORST CASE OF IT WHERE YOU HAVE A TWO-TIER SYSTEM OF JUSTICE DEPENDING ON WHETHER THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE RULING CLASS OR NOT. TO THE EXTENT PEOPLE ARE ON FIRE ABOUT THAT, THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE. THE HILLARY CLINTON PRECEDENT IF WE APPLIED IT TO THE LAW. NOBODY WOULD EVER AGAIN BE PROSECUTED -- THE PROBLEM HE HAS IS ONCE YOU ARE CHARGED IT'S NOT A GOOD LEGAL ARGUMENT IN A JURY TRIAL. THE JURY IS GOING TO BE TOLD IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENED TO SOMEBODY ELSE. IT'S THIS CASE. >> THEY RAID MAR-A-LAGO, THEY DIDN'T RAID CHAPPAQUA OR U-PENN. YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR LEGAL EXPERT JONATHAN TURLEY. >> VIOLATIONS OF THOSE LAWS PUT OUR COUNTRY AT RISK. ADHERENCE TO THE RULE OF LAW IS A BEDROCK PRINCIPLE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. OUR NATION'S COMMITMENT TO THE RULE OF LAW SETS AN EXAMPLE FOR THE WORLD. WE HAVE ONE SET OF LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEY APPLY TO EVERYONE. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO NOTE THAT THE DEFENDANTS IN THIS CASE MUST BE PRESUMED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT IN A COURT OF LAW. TO THAT END MY OFFICE WILL SEEK A SPEEDY TRIAL IN THIS MATTER. >> IT'S AN EXTREMELY DAMNING INDICTMENT. THERE ARE SOME INDICTMENTS THAT ARE NARRATIVE OR SPEAKING INDICTMENTS. THESE ARE INDICTMENTS THAT ARE MEANT TO MAKE A POINT AS TO THE DEPTH OF THE EVIDENCE. LIZ: TRUMP IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. BUT THE DOJ WAS LEAKING ON THIS. IT MATCHES A LOT OF WHAT HAS BEEN LEAKED TO THE MEDIA. THEY ARE DAMNING AND CONDEMNING TRUMP IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. YOU SEE IT ON CNN. >> THE FACT THAT THERE ARE LEAKS DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE COMING FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT. ONCE DEFENSE LAWYERS ARE INVOLVED, WHICH HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF WITNESSES GOING INTO THE GRAND JURY, YOU CAN'T TELL WHERE THE LEAKS ARE COMING FROM. I DON'T DOUBT SOME OF THEM ARE COMING FROM THE GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE THEY DO LEAK. >> WATCH REPUBLICANS CALL THIS A WITCH HUNT. >> THEY CAN'T STOP BECAUSE IT'S ELECTION INTERFERENCE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE WHAT HAPPENED. I AM AN INNOCENT MAN, I'M AN INNOCENT PERSON. OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO HELL AND THEY COME AFTER DONALD TRUMP, WEAPONIZING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, WEAPONIZING THE FBI. WE CAN'T LET THIS CONTINUE TO GO ON BECAUSE IT'S RIPPING OUR COUNTRY TO SHREDS. WE HAVE SUCH BIG PROBLEMS AND THIS SHOULDN'T BE ONE OF THEM. IT'S A HOAX. >> ONE THING THAT MAKES AMERICA THE CITY ON THE HILL IS CONFIDENCE IN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM. TODAY WHAT WE SEE IS A JUSTICE SYSTEM WHERE THE SCALES ARE WEIGHTED. >> THIS IS THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH TRYING TO TAKE OUT THEIR NUMBER ONE OPPONENT FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES IN 2024. THEY HAVE ONE STANDARD FOR DONALD TRUMP AND ANOTHER STANDARD FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD IN THIS GARAGE, HILLARY CLINTON WITH THE SERVER AND INFORMATION IN HER HOME ON PRIVATE EMAIL SERVE OFFERS. >> JOE BIDEN AND HIS CRONIES ARE TRYING TO TAKE OUT HIS MAIN POLITICAL OPPONENT. WE ARE IN DANGEROUS WATERS BECAUSE OF JOE BIDEN. LIZ: SANDY BURGER GOT OFF WITH A SLAP OF THE RISK. WHERE DOES THIS GO? JIM JORDAN FIRED OFF A LETTER TO A.G. GARLAND. THAT A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT LAWYER TRIED TO PRESSURE A TRUMP LAWYER WITH A JUDGESHIP. >> I HEARD THAT ALLEGATION. I HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT THE EVIDENCE IS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOUBLE STANDARD ARGUMENT WHICH I AGREE WITH. THE BIG PROBLEM WITH THOSE CASES, IF IT HAD BEEN UP TO ME PETRAEUS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED FOR A FELONY. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED. SANDY BURGER SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ALSO COMMITTED CRIMES DIDN'T GET
