Trump should not be able to be running for office again.

0:09.5

And obviously the problem goes far beyond Trump.

0:11.9

You know, I just named a few of the people who are newly running around free, no longer

in legal jeopardy.

0:18.2

But, you know, you could also add Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Steve

0:22.0

Bannon, Manafort, et cetera. None of them were looked at in a thorough way by the January 6th

committee. None of them are being looked at in a thorough way by the DOJ to the point that that Trump
