WASNT THAT LONG AGO, THAT WAS
REALLY BAD.
PEOPLE GOT IN A LOT OF TROUBLE
FOR THAT, AND A LOT OF THEM DID.
PEOPLE GOT IN TROUBLE DURING
PRESIDENCIES, EVEN HIGH-RANKING
PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS PRESIDENTS
HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE IN ALL OF
THOSE ERAS, RIGHT, AND OTHERS.
BUT IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS IT
POSSIBLE THAT AN AMERICAN
PRESIDENT HAS HIS CAMPAIGN
CHAIRMAN ARRESTED -- THATS PAUL
MANAFORT -- AND HIS DEPUTY
CAMPAIGN MANAGER ARRESTED, RICK
GATES, STEVE BANNON, HIS
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR
ARREST, MIKE FLEN, HIS PERSONAL
LAWYER, MIKE COHEN, HIS
LONG-TIME POLITICAL ADVISER,
ROGER STONE, AND HIS CAMPAIGN
FOREIGN ADVISER ARRESTED, GEORGE
PAPADOPOLOUS, AND HIS INAUGURAL
CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN ARRESTED,
THATS TODAY, ELLIOTT BRADY, HIS
PRIVATE COMPANY INDICTED, THE
TRUMP ORGANIZATION, THE CHIEF
FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION OF HIS
PRIVATE COMPANY ARRESTED, ALLEN
WEISSELBERG.
HIS FOUNDATION/CHARITY SHUT DOWN
AFTER A FRAUD.
THATS THE TRUMP FOUNDATION.
HIS, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, SCHOOL SHUT
DOWN AFTER A FRAUD SUIT
SETTLEMENT, TRUMP UNIVERSITY.
AND NOT TO MENTION DURING HIS
ONE SINGLE TERM AS PRESIDENT,
NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, NOT
FOUR, BUT FIVE OF HIS CABINET
SECRETARIES WERE REFERRED FOR
FEDERAL CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, IN
ONE TERM.
WE JUST TODAY GOT THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL REPORT ON TRUMP CONGRESS
SECRETARY WILBUR ROSS AND ALL OF
THE DETAILS OF HOW THAT
INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED THAT
WILBUR ROSS LIED TO CONGRESS ON
MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO COVER UP
WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
WAS TRYING TO DO TO MESS WITH
THE CENSUS.
THAT REPORT, AGAIN, WHICH WE
JUST GOT IN DETAIL TODAY GIVES
US ALL OF THE DETAILS WE DIDNT
HAVE BEFORE ON THIS FIFTH TRUMP
CABINET SECRETARY WHO WAS
REFERRED TO THE U.S. JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT FOR POTENTIAL
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
IN ALL FIVE OF THOSE CASES, ALL
FIVE TRUMP CABINET SECRETARIES,
IT WAS THE TRUMP JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT THAT REFUSED TO BRING
CRIMINAL CHARGES DESPITE THOSE
CRIMINAL REFERRALS.
BUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WIND THE
LENS A LITTLE BIT. MEANWHILE,
THE LAWYERS WHO BROUGHT THE
CASES, BROUGHT THE LAWSUITS THAT
THE FORMER PRESIDENT WANTED
AFTER THE ELECTION TO TRY TO GET
THE COURTS TO SOMEHOW OVERTHROW
THE ELECTION RESULTS AND SOMEHOW
KEEP HIM IN OFFICE, THOSE
LAWYERS WHO WERE ACTING ON HIS
BEHALF ARE ALL FACING COURT
SANCTIONS AND POTENTIAL
DISBARMENT IN AT LEAST FOUR
DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS.
HIS OTHER PERSONAL LAWYER, NOT
THE ONE WHO ALREADY WENT TO
PRISON, THE OTHER ONE, HAS JUST
HAD HIS LAW LICENSE SUSPENDED IN
BOTH NEW YORK AND IN WASHINGTON,
D.C. FOR HIS ROLE IN MAKING
THOSE SAME FALSE CLAIMS BEFORE
THE COURT.
OH, AND HE HIMSELF WAS IMPEACHED
TWICE.
THATS A RECORD.
AND HES PERSONALLY FACING A
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION UNDER
GEORGIA STATE LAW FOR
INTERFERING WITH ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS IN THAT STATE.
WERE ALSO AWAITING A POTENTIAL
SECOND ROUND OF INDICTMENTS
DERIVED FROM THESE ALLEGATIONS
OF A YEARS-LONG, MULTI-MILLION
DOLLAR TAX FRAUD SCHEME, THATS
ALREADY LED TO THE INDICTMENT OF
HIS COMPANY THAT BEARS HIS NAME
AND ITS LONG-TIME CFO.
I MEAN NOT ONLY IS THAT NOT
NORMAL FOR AN AMERICAN
PRESIDENCY, LIKE IN WHAT COUNTRY
IS THAT NORMAL?
RIGHT?
AND IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THAT THE
PERSON WHO YOU PICK TO BE THE
PROHIBITIVE FRONT-RUNNER FOR THE
NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION?
WOW.
IMAGINE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEYRE
TRYING TO RECRUIT PEOPLE TO THE
NEXT TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN.
LISTEN, IF YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS
RIGHT YOU MIGHT BECOME A CABINET
SECRETARY.
AND IF THE LAST TIME HE WAS IN
OFFICE IS ANY INDICATION, IT
GIVES YOU ONLY A ONE IN THREE
CHANCE OF BEING REFERRED FOR
FEDERAL CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
DURING THE FOUR YEARS OF HIS
TERM.
IF YOU WANT TO RUN THE CAMPAIGN
OR THE INAUGURAL THOUGH, THE
ODDS ARE PRETTY GOOD YOU ARE
GOING TO END UP IN THE CROWBAR
HOTEL.
