Democrat election lawyer Marc E. Elias boasted Sunday that President Donald Trump cannot receive a fair trial in the District of Columbia, after noting the small number of votes Trump received Saturday in the Republican primary there.

His comment was not only an admission that Trump cannot receive a fair trial in a jurisdiction full of potential jurors who are opposed to him, but celebrated that fact, because it would make convicting the former president even easier.
Trump faces criminal charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the District of Columbia related to his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results (as Elias himself has done, even citing alleged problems with voting machines).
