Dr. Phil McGraw insists you have to be “stupid” to believe President Joe Biden cannot stop the prosecutions of his predecessor.
McGraw sat down for an interview with former President Donald Trump and noted, “I know that there was some news coming out of Georgia today. There was some news coming out of Florida today that they’re stepping back from this.”
“Very good news,” Trump interjected.
McGraw went on:
“I called for the other day, and I don’t know if you saw it, but on Merit Street Media, where I now do my show, I called for President Biden to stop all of this now. And of course, a lot of people said, ‘Oh, he can’t stop it. It’s a state case.'”
He added, “Well, okay, that’s an explanation for stupid people. But for people that understand how this works behind the scenes at all, I say the same thing. They need to stop this. They need to stop pursuing you. Since you started your campaign in 2015 to run for office, there have been so many attempts to get you off the board even before you started your campaign. Then when you, once you were in office, two impeachment opportunities, they changed the rules to try to make it high crimes and misdemeanors if there were business conflicts. And in this case, in this case, it never ends. It seems to be never-ending,”

The exchange comes after Trump was found guilty in his hush money trial. Shortly after the verdict was announced, he claimed the prosecution and outcome were “done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt a political opponent.”
Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland have both noted the hush money case was not a federal case to push back on the allegation it was coordinated by the administration, or that they could have stopped it.
However, even Trump-critic Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) suggested Biden could have intervened.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Stephanie Rule last month, the Utah senator said, “I think President Biden made an enormous error. He should have fought like crazy to keep this prosecution from going forward. It was a win-win for Donald Trump.”
Rule then asked, “Is that Joe Biden’s job?”
“I’ve been around for a while. If LBJ had been president and he didn’t want something like this to happen, he’d have been all over that prosecutor saying, ‘You better not bring that forward or I’m gonna drive you out of office,’” Romney responded.
