legitimacy of our system we ll be incalculable. trace: and i don t get this, maybe you can help me. were the charges politically motivated? look at this. yes, 47%. and then we did a poll earlier, the same poll that said was the verdict correctly and people, 50% say yes. so there is clearly this overlap of people that know it was politicized and don t care. i think that s right. and i think to be a maybe some people think as i do, the case should not have been brought. it wouldn t be brought against anyone not called donald trump. they could then think the case should not have been brought but when it is brought and showed in front of that jury, maybe the jury reached the right decision. at tickets possible to believe on the 1 hand the case should not have been brought but once it s there it conviction was perhaps justified on the narrow terms of the trial itself.

there would have been a trial. they re probably without a question of a doubt it conviction and then you would have had 123 or four years of appeal. it would have been a traumatic incident in the country for 3 to 5 years. let s discuss this with the star witness of the watergate scandal . former nixon white house counsel john dean, john, you know better than anyone, the kind of, uh emotion that this sort of incident had in the watergate era. should people be concerned today about what gerald ford is describing their another 3 to 5 years of turmoil for this country? if trump is indicted and faces a trial over this. well i understood ford s position at the time he took it because he was very worried about his ability to govern his ability to, uh, do the things he thought he should do his
