00:00Yeah, the Department of Justice says the constitution prohibits the continued indictment or prosecution
00:07of a president.
00:08So let's be clear here.
00:09This has got nothing to do with the evidence or the charges against Donald Trump and everything
00:14to do with the fact that Donald Trump won the election in November 2024.
00:19That's correct.
00:20And there's also the political problem.
00:21Don't forget Donald Trump has basically announced that he's taking doing a hostile takeover
00:28of the Department of Justice, that none of the, from the Attorney General on down, none
00:33of these appointees are going to be independent or people who will be deciding cases on their
00:39own merits.
00:40They're all going to be acting at the behest of Donald Trump.
