That is what dictatorships do. That's what tyranny is. And they did it with Tish James. She had a legitimate case. She pursued it. She actually won. So Trump is now trying to get back at her [Letitia James]. But the case is so weak that even Trump's first prosecutor, who he appointed, said, there's not a case here. So he fired that one and put a new prosecutor in who would do whatever he wants. (08:37–08:40)
