Ideologically, George Conway is more Mary Matlin than James Carville, but he is right about Trump’s pathological criminality and the GOP’s kowtowing.

During his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," on Thursday morning, attorney George Conway recalled an unusual conversation he had with Donald Trump in 2017 before his inauguration that was indicative of Trump's reasoning for running for president in the first place.

"You look at Maine, Colorado, the documents case, Georgia, election interference. You look at the civil fraud suit in New York City. you look at E. Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels," she said. "I mean, there are — I can't think of someone who has more legal challenges facing him. I don't know how many lawyers he has or can get."

"Well, in terms of the criminal cases, I think he's always had this fear of being prosecuted," Conway replied before recalling, "I mean, one of the things — I didn't realize it at the time, but I flew down to Washington on a plane with him before the inauguration, and he asked me, should he fire the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York?"

"You know, this is a man who is, I didn't realize it then, but he had to be thinking about him not wanting to be investigated," he added. "Maggie Haberman of the New York Times said a couple of times in 2020, one of the reasons why Trump was running was to avoid prosecution, because you can't prosecute a sitting president."
