Supreme Court Drops Roadblock On Trump Prosecution - The Case Is Dead

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and the Democrats

Jack Smith, and the Biden Justice Department are learning that the best laid plans of mice

and men... Folks, before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow

So it turns out the Supreme Court is actually putting a huge monkey wrench in the plans

to prosecute and convict former President Donald Trump. Now Jim Jordan appeared on State of the Union on CNN this Sunday with Dana Bash, and he

explained how the Supreme Court is actually the ones that are probably, and probably have

already put the kibosh on this case before it even gets started

And that's something not a lot of people know about. I'm going to let the representative explain it to you

It is an extraordinary situation. The first ever U.S. president under federal indictment who could stand trial in the middle

of his reelection campaign against a sitting president. The charges against Trump range from willful retention of national defense information

to obstruction. And the indictment unsealed on Friday is detailed and stark, accusing Trump of illegally keeping

highly classified government documents on America's nuclear secrets and military vulnerabilities, among others, in unsecured areas of his resort

And conspiring with an aide who is also charged to hide some of those boxes from his own lawyers

to prevent them from fully complying with a federal subpoena. Here with me is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan

Thank you for joining me this morning, sir. The indictment does say, thank you, the indictment does say, as I mentioned, the documents included

U.S. defense, nuclear capabilities, potential U.S. vulnerabilities to a military attack. They were kept in unsecure areas like a bathroom, a ballroom, a bedroom

And the indictment says that Donald Trump lied to lawyers, his own lawyers, which resulted

in false statements to the FBI so that he could keep those documents

Is all of that, any of that acceptable to you? Dana, the standard is clear

The standard is Navy v. Egan, a 1988 case, unanimous decision from the court that Justice

Blackmun wrote the opinion. And it said the president's ability to classify and control access to national security information

flows from the Constitution. He decides. He alone decides. He said he did classify this material

He can put it wherever he wants. He can handle however he wants. That's the law

That's the standard. And Jack Smith can do all this 37 different towns, whatever he wants to do

But that doesn't that doesn't change the standard. The standard that the Supreme Court in a unanimous decision said was that he can classify and

he can control access. He has the sole authority. See, in the law, there's a thing called precedent

Well, the precedent's been set. The Presidential Records Act is very clear

So this prosecution is really more about mental gymnastics to try to bend and stretch

something into something that doesn't exist. This is all a witch hunt, in my opinion, to get former President Donald Trump

I don't even think I've said this before to you guys. I don't even think they want a conviction

I don't think they care if they get a conviction. Look, we all know that President Trump is probably never going to serve a day in jail, right

This is all about character assassination before the 2024 presidential election. In my opinion, in President Trump's opinion, and in the opinion of a lot of others, what

we're looking at here is basically, basically election interference. And it's shameful

This should never happen in the United States of America. But it is happening

It's happening right before our eyes. But you have to wonder, even if they get a conviction, going by the Supreme Court precedent

if it gets back to the Supreme Court, is that conviction going to be overturned

Most likely, if you look at the precedent that's been set. So this is all an exercise in wasting taxpayer dollars to try and get a man they just hate
