Donald Trump has been indicted related to the 2020 election in January 6th. This is just coming down. This is breaking news from earlier this evening as I speak to you and this was expected.

But that doesn't mean it isn't a shock anyway is in a shock to the system a feeling of the full scale weaponization of the Department of Justice is underway.

What really is this before I even get into the charges before I get into what they're alleging Donald Trump did here.

What kind of a country are we if the president of the United States Joe Biden which is just absurd even every time I say it out loud.

What kind of a country are we if he is able to prosecute his chief political rival. What kind of a country are we if the Republican who is a top contender for the presidency face as possible prison time.

For in the case of the documents for example in the South Florida prosecution federal prosecution of Trump after Hillary Clinton clearly violated classified document protocols.

No question about that it's a matter of public record and they just said it's too important that she not have to face that she's too important to face that.

That was it no greater justification really than that required or or given and now we also have a very troubling trend here.

What seems to be the criminalization of legal theories now all of I've read the whole indictment as I speak to you now all of the indictment.

Is meant to hammer home the following that Trump and the people around him were lying about January with lying about the election rather of 2020 and that led to January 6th.

And so because they were lying their theories of law were there for irrelevant and even illegal.

Well a lot of lawyers put forward things in court that they may or may not believe to be true right a lot of lawyers try to defend people who are accused of murder and the lawyer believes the guy probably did it we all know this right.

But he puts forward the most robust defense he can and that is the system that we have when you're talking about politics and elections.

If they believed or thought there was even some chance of fraud they had every right and the indictment does say this they've every right to take it to court and to try to challenge it through that process.

But they also had a reading of law that they thought allowed for a different electric scheme to be put in place now it didn't work it didn't happen and courts very well would have entirely shut this thing down had it gone through.

But to lock people up in prison for this that I think is showing you the darkness that we are heading toward as a country.

It's one thing to say that it was wrong which of course they believe it's nothing to say even that it was aggressive as a legal theory but you are going to be locked up on a variety of charges federal charges here.

As a result that is just showing you how full scale the weaponization of the DOJ really is at this point.

And remember this is the same moment that we're finding out about Hunter Biden the full extent of I should say the Biden crime family.

Joe Biden was selling influence to China to Ukrainian oligarchs a whole bunch of people all over the world.

It's effectively selling out his country this is now just no they can pretend they can think oh we're so stupid we can't put it two and two together no we know what happened.
