| 0:00.0 | all right okay we can do this i know we can do this i can't but we can't it's been almost six weeks |
| 0:12.4 | since the supreme court listened to donald trump's attorney argue that ex-presidents have |
| 0:17.3 | absolute immunity for any crimes they may have committed in the Oval Office. |
| 0:23.8 | Trump's attorney even suggested that a president could order SEAL Team 6 to murder his |
| 0:30.1 | political opponent, even stage a coup. |
| 0:33.3 | And unless he was impeached and then convicted in the Senate, that president could not be subject to criminal prosecution after leaving office. |
