'This is so much worse' than Watergate: Andrew Weissmann on what new filing unveils
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Former President Donald Trump was "fundamentally" acting as a private candidate for office and not as president of the United States when he sought to overturn his 2020 election loss, special counsel Jack Smith’s team argued in a filing Wednesday that revealed new details of the scheme at the heart of Trump’s federal election interference case. Andrew Weissmann and Barbara McQuade discuss.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE for supporting, condoning, or even willfully ignoring the blatant criminality of Trump.
Sure there is. It's called COMMON SENSE😅
Since there was no criminality, you and your post are worthless.

@@danmandanningWhen he loses, he will face trial. If he is found guilty, he will face justice. Cope.
It’s worse than Watergate and yet nobody has been held accountable for 4 years.
The Watergate hearings DID take a long time too. And I believe everyone in Nixon's circle served Federal prisen time.
@@juleslaabs9808Yes. Only Boomers remember that it did.
It defies reason.
@@yvonneplant9434I'm not a boomer and I know it did. Maybe you're just politically ignorant yet you're here on a political post trying to belittle people
And your still not catching on. Amazing
If this isn’t enough, then there is something seriously wrong with America
Yea the media is a real problem in America.
As an insurrectionist, he should not be running for President!!!!!
Still getting grifted with that bs 😒
Judge Luttig said the same.
Buy a Supreme Court Justice or 3
Well, not according to the SCOTUS...and you KNOW how honorable they are, right?
The evidence is overwhelming. Denying that Trump attempted an insurrection is like denying the earth is round.
Treason.
Get some..
Insurections are against sitting presidents
Misspelled TRE45ON.

I'm getting my much needed Andrew Weissmann fix today with this new filing. So nice to see him back at the desk!
💯!
Today Trump's "snake poem" has a new meaning for some...for Trump was the snake all along. 🐍
His hanibal lecter talk also has new meaning as that is who he aspires to be. tRump just loves throwing his depravity in our faces.
"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery." - Octavia Butler

I cannot wrap my mind around how anyone can support Trump after this. 💙💙💙
Unfortunately the red hat magas will never hear about any of this, and those who do hear about it won't care including the republicans in Congress who will still vote for him.
That ship sailed ages ago. Any other candidate would not have survived the Billy Bush, "grab em by the ___" tape.
Only Anti American maga terrorists support tRump. No to "christian" nationalism, NO to fascism, NO to tRump, No to project 2025💙
When is jail coming not just for Trump but for everyone who was involved... Currently helping him
@@michaelbrigantiWould you feel okay with the same lack of justice if someone across the aisle committed the same crimes? He's not being persecuted because of who he is. He's being prosecuted because he committed crimes.
Never🤣🤣
Pardon me
Almost as if these accusations are political in nature. Can’t wait to see what Trump investigates come next year. Might not have any Dems left when he’s done.
@@michaelbriganti you wish.

No it's not. It's a bunch of crap that could never make it into court,,,, because in court you have to have facts. Not all these lies. Big difference.
Just a last ditch attempt by the Biden/Harris DoJ to besmirch Trump. So sadly obvious, because if it meant ANYTHING, then they would have LED with it, not waited 7 years. Pure desperation hurts their cause because it so clearly IS a desperation move.

Im sure if they include the officials who worked on the plot there is a whole lot more known.
Any of the “officials” cannot be used because of the SC ruling that any “official” evidence is not allowed in court based on their corrupt interpretation of Presidential Immunity.
Shouldn't all Supreme Court Judges resign ! shameless
Love that old Mac in the back of Weismann’s desk. ❤
First Watergate .. now this. And both done by the Republicans. The stock value of "both sides are the same" is now in penny territory ;)
GOP Admins Had 38 Times More Criminal Convictions Than Democrats, 1961-2016. I'm sure that stat is even higher post Trump Admin.

People want what strongmen repeat for years...even if lies. People think strongmen offer certainty for them personally until they don't
None of this is new it's just new updates on what the people already knew and a judge finally had some balls enough to make what we knew a little more public
ACTUALLY THERES LOTS OF NEW IN THERE
@@bunnycox1046 not to me but I must be a rare one that watched the Jan 6th hearings and read transcripts majority of this has already been discussed including the private conversations and calls because smaller journalists did their jobs and didn't hide the truth but I guess I can see why some think this is new because who really wants to sit and listen to days and days of hearings
But now it's in a court filing so no one can ignore it, other than the supreme court.
@@RogerWeese there is just as much in damaging reports for his Florida case his pocket judge overturned which trump will be going back to court for its only a matter of time... certain judges will not follow the law I'm just happy to see judge chutkin playing no games
Pence's testimony and others are all new. There is plenty from Trump:s closest circle that is new...even if you try to wish it away.
" Make them riot" is a powerful example. Trump's own cell phone was subpoenaed.
And right now, trump is telling his followers its a lie?
Because Trump is a LIAR! If his mouth is moving, LIES are coming out of it!
The big difference between Nixon and Dump is that at the time, we had faith that Nixon would resign. I remember running a betting pool for the time and date he would resign.
Tds afflicted clown
And HE (Nixon) DID RESIGN and didn’t run for office AGAIN. Nixon also didn’t have millions of Americans still willing to turn a blind eye to all he did and vote for him again. Nor did he have a corrupt Supreme Court actively failing to serve as the Check and Balance they were set up to serve as.
This is FIREDGATE!
It doesn’t matter the Supreme Court will overturn it no matter what! Unfortunately, that’s how it is
Why did Merrick Garland wait so long to prosecute this case?
Maybe he’s a mole for The Federalist Society.
They are protecting him because he had the title of President.
Omg, you finally got Trump

If sane Americans would register and vote over party and stop this criminal and traitor in a landslide at least this once, there is no reason why this can't be achived rather than the 62% who voted last time.
