Is this blatant is that . Donald trump has been blurring the lines of what is been going on with them legally and politically, but there very much mixed together, there very much mixed together, there being recognised against me, jack smith, the why doesntjoe biden, they want to take me down because im the republican front runner hes been saying this to his supporters and its fair to assume that many of his supporters note that many of his supporters note that that money could well be used as legal Defence Costs and theyll be happy to oblige and put money forward to make sure that donald trump can win. And its very clear that the former president himself is mentioned that winning these cases are being able to delay them long enough that he can potentially become president again is also part of a legal strategy because if he does become president again, he can either pardon himself and some of these crimes but he may be able to order theJustice Department these crimes but he may be able to order the Justice Department to these crimes but he may be able to order theJustice Department to drop these cases altogether. The legal matters and the campaigning all starting to become one of the same for donald trump and his supporters appear outside of the courthouse and theyre willing to give money not only does campaign but also to his legalfunds. Only does campaign but also to his legal funds legal funds. You can see the Satellite Trucks legal funds. You can see the Satellite Trucks and legal funds. You can see the Satellite Trucks and the Satellite Trucks and the International Committee gathers in the building as we launch these live pictures, let me introduce you to our panel, the political scientists, confirming that they are the former Director Of Communications and Donald TrumpsTransition Team and former white house lawyerjoining us this evening. I could start with you. 78 charges now in total, three indictments, the way. Give us your thoughts on what is unfolding here tonight and the significance of this particular indictment. Unprecedented in us history particular indictment. Unprecedented in us history to particular indictment. Unprecedented in us history to have particular indictment. Unprecedented in us history to have a particular indictment. Unprecedented in us history to have a former in us history to have a former president facing all of these indictments. The latest round quite serious and certainly, there will be a lot to say about that. And very little pushback against the continued erosion of american norms and legitimacy of american political institutions. We are in this circumstance in part because impeachment is no longer functional as a check or a balance on executive authority. It is become politcised. Increasingly, the Average American does not care what the nature of the indictment is, what matters is not what prompted her to not do, what matters is your tribal affiliation. Are you aligned with trump or are you opposed to him and that determines how you feel about whether or not these charges are legitimate and whether you Pay Attention to the process, the outcome or if you even think it is hunter biden and President Biden that are the ones who should be impeached. That they are the ones that should not ever serve in office and the election indeed thatjoe biden won fairly was actually stolen. That is not a functional democracy. Remember, the United States back when the wall fell was really a beacon and other countries wanted to align their Political Systems with it. States is still a world superpower and as incredible defence capabilities and the dollar as the World Reserve currency but no one, not the prince, not the canadians, no one looks at the us Political System in the videos you are showing today and saying i wish my country ran like that. And that is something i think theres one thing that all americans can agree on, it is probably that statement. In mexico point. The fragility of american democracy. There was a strategy even before the 2020 election to undermine the vote and create doubt. He makes a great point. Donald trump is not someone who respects donald trump is not someone who respects democracy. Even in the election. Respects democracy. Even in the election. If respects democracy. Even in the election, if you want to throw hillary election, if you want to throw Hillary Clinton injail, and Elected LeaderHillary Clinton injail, and Elected Leader who treads to throw their opponents injail for no other reason opponents injail for no other reason whatsoever is not a leader suitable reason whatsoever is not a leader suitable for democracy.
