> - Next, your thoughts on this. - This indictment strikes me as an amateurish joke. Frankly, Jack Smith as special counsel should be indicted for stupidity, it's that bad. But he has this disreputable habit of bringing politically driven prosecutions by contorting the law and mangling the evidence. And these four counts are the definition of a stretch. It's a gumby indictment, conspiracy to defraud the government because Trump challenged certification of electors on January 6th. Well, he's entitled to do that under the Electoral Count Act. Democrats did the same thing in 2016 and in prior elections. Nor is it a crime to claim the election was stolen, which Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi alleged four years earlier. And the main point is, if Donald Trump truly believed he won even if he was wrong about it, and he used the legal process to contest the outcome as the law clearly permits, that is not election fraud. And then Smith tosses in obstruction charge, conspiracy charge, those are redundant of the first charge and the exact same defense applies. So, you know, this is a junk indictment and it's politically motivated. Matt, we're gonna do a quick break.
