Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) addressed Lara Trump’s gripes on CNN this morning that Donald Trump’s falsifying documents case wasn’t moved out of New York City (where the crimes actually occurred). Her implication was that the Donald “couldn’t get a fair trial” in Manhattan. and yet, he did.

Schiff’s reply:
“Well, first, in terms of Lara Trump’s interview and her complaining about the case being tried in New York before a New York jury, if you don’t want to be tried in front of a New York jury, then maybe don’t commit so many crimes in New York City. It’s pretty simple.
“And that jury was selected in part by Donald Trump and his attorneys. They vetted each of the jurors. He had every right that every other criminal defendant has in that courtroom.
“And they found — this ordinary jury of peers found him guilty on every single count. So, if you don’t want to be tried in New York, don’t commit crimes in New York. But he got the same due process as any other person and that’s exactly the way it should be.”
Schiff is running for the empty U.S. Senate seat left by Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s passing. He’s currently leading former pro-baseball player Steve Garvey (R) by about 20 points.
