Donald Trump Indictment, Constitutional Crisis and Separation of Powers
Donald Trump faces potential charges from a New York District Attorney linked to George Soros, raising concerns regarding the statute of limitations and constitutional precedent. No former president has been indicted in 240 years due to the necessity of the separation of powers and the potential for political weaponization. Ron DeSantis has defended Trump against the move, noting that the legal pressure has significantly increased Trump's lead in Republican primary polls.

00:00 Now they're saying that the Jordan Soros DA may get cold feet because even the feds didn't charge Trump with this and there's a statute of limitations of five years and it's not a state felony but they've made it a felony. And so how are they even doing that? No president's ever been charged and the reason no former or current president's ever been charged is then any district attorney could remove a president anytime they wanted basically. That's why presidents have veto power. It's why they have the power of the pardon, because you've got to have a separation of powers in the government. Doesn't mean a president's above the law, they can be impeached. But there's never been a charge where anyone was willing to go that far to do it because it's so dangerous. And I'll hand it to DeSantis that he came out to Trump's defense and said this is wrong and a constitutional crisis, even though Trump is his main political
00:57 adversary. But DeSantis also understands the numbers. Trump, just since this started, has gone from a dead heat in polls with DeSantis to at least 15 points on average ahead of him. That would be political suicide for DeSantis not to do this because this is a question that's been fought for 240 years in the courts. And it's been a common sense decision that you do not indict current or former presidents. It opens too big a can of worms and allows voters to have their will of who they're going to vote for blocked. And with Trump being the front runner in the presidential field and the Republican nomination department, and in any real numbers you look at beating Democrats easily as well, except for election fraud, this will only supercharge him. So why do they do it? Because they can't help it and they're hysterical and they want total power.
