Joy Behar: Friends of Trump can 'rob a bank because he's got you covered'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"The View" co-host Joy Behar argued on Wednesday that President Trump's disregard for law and order created a situation where his associates, like longtime political strategist Roger Stone, could rob a bank and get away with it.
"We're living in no law and no order -- that's the new Trump show," she said. "It's almost, like, if you're related to Trump or you're a friend of Trump, go out and rob a bank because he's got you covered right now -- go out, commit a crime, nothing matters anymore."
Her comments came amid news that prosecutors resigned over the Justice Department's decision to seek a lesser sentence for Stone.

Trump had denounced Stone's sentencing recommendation, calling it "disgraceful" in a Tuesday tweet. Also on Tuesday, Trump derided the sentencing recommendation as "very horrible and unfair."

The DOJ insisted the decision to undo the sentencing recommendation was made Monday night — before Trump’s tweet — and prosecutors had not spoken to the White House about it.
