The indictment of President Trump is very, very troubling. It’s the first time a president of the United States has ever been indicted like this. The Commander-in-Chief, somebody who’s also now running for president again. It sets a terrible precedent. And as we go into this whole process of using our criminal justice system as a weapon, it reminds me of Colleen McCullough’s great books on Caesar, starting with “The First Man in Rome.” It’s where she records how the Roman Republic devoured itself with bitter political in-fighting and with the kind of rule breaking that we’re seeing.
The indictment itself is an absurdity. In 34 counts, there’s not a single mention of a crime. And, many lawyers have pointed this out; I’m not a lawyer but I can tell you, the lawyers, I’ve listened to, all think this is absurd. And so I think what you have is a political district attorney filing a political indictment in a way which further corrupts the entire criminal justice system. And I think setting a precedent which is going to be terrible for the future of the American system.
So you need to pay very careful attention to the next few months. There are two more cases coming down the road and the basic rule is simple: They want to destroy Donald Trump because he terrifies them. He is clearly going to change the corrupt bureaucratic systems, and they’re doing everything they can to survive. And that’s really what’s at stake. It’s a fight between an outsider populist who’s willing to take them head-on and assist them trying desperately to preserve itself. So you ought to pay careful attention, because this isn’t politics. This is historic.
