Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner thinks former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump s latest controversial comments about his myriad legal woes could come back to seriously haunt him.

In a recent interview with Fox News Mark Levin, Trump declared: Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it, you get indicted, and your poll numbers go up.

Kirschner pondered in a column for MSNBC published Wednesday if Trumps every right to do it claim could end up being used against him at trial.

The answer is yes, Kirschner answered his own question.

Trump is forever trying his cases in the court of public opinion, where there are no rules of evidence, no rules of procedure and no rules of law, Kirschner explained. What he apparently doesnt realize is that every word out of his mouth is admissible in a criminal trial.
