Jake Novak interviews Michael Castella to highlight what they describe as the weaponization of the legal system against supporters of Donald Trump. Castella, a former fund manager convicted of securities fraud, argues that his prosecution was a politically motivated "Ponzi-like" characterization of a legitimate business that never received a single customer complaint. The conversation centers on the idea of a persistent "swamp" within the Justice Department that continues to target conservatives through biased New York juries and aggressive asset forfeiture.
