Parlatore said that Trump’s attorneys should “attack the conduct of the entire investigation and show through death by a thousand cuts why this entire investigation is irreparably tainted by government misconduct."
He added, “The case, therefore, should be dismissed or, at a minimum, the prosecutor should be disqualified.”

So far, the indictment has only increased his popularity among GOP voters.
"The former president now enjoys the support of a staggering 61% of likely GOP primary voters. That compares to 23% for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. No one else in the field has more than 4% of Republican support," Freedom Press noted.
"Fully 61% said that their opinion did not change at all, and another 14% responded that they support the former president even more now. Seven percent took the news negatively and 18% responded 'depends,'" it added.
The latest develops also come as President Joe Biden faces his own investigation from the House Oversight Committee related to business deals in foreign countries during his time as vice president.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed on Monday that a Burisma businessman allegedly has 17 audio recordings related to the alleged scandal involving the president and his son Hunter Biden.
The latest indictment shows that there is certainly a political aspect to the case, along with suspect timing as Biden faces his own potential scandal. The American people may support Trump even if he is convicted of any of his charges, leading to the unique situation of a presidential candidate convicted of criminal activity.
