00:00Obviously, the Justice Department has this policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.
00:06So when Donald Trump leaves office in four years from now, could this and other legal
00:12issues then start to catch up with him?
00:16I think it's theoretically possible.
00:20Jack Smith had both cases, the classified documents case and the election interference
00:26case dismissed without prejudice.
00:30That means that the case can be refiled.
00:35The practical problem with that is you've got four years that are going to go by.
00:40The question is, are the witnesses still available?
00:42Are they alive?
00:44Will whoever comes in next have the will to actually reset these cases and start over
00:53again and go to trial on them?
00:56It's probably unlikely that that's going to happen.
