Regarding the classified documents case, it is important to say that within the White House, there is such a ridiculous amount of classified documents that it's practically impossible to keep track of them. That's why these kinds of documents kind of show up with almost all former presidents. What is unprecedented is Trump's refusal to give those documents back after they have been found.
There is a transfer of custody and a paper trail for every classified item, regardless of who did it before trump, they should not have had them at their home.

What's up with everyone suggesting that "crime X is not serious enough to prosecute a former president"? If trump got pulled over for speeding in a school zone, would we be saying "ohhh well this is not really a big deal, so he shouldn't get a ticket"? What's the deal? He's not above the law. If there's a crime, you file the paperwork and you prosecute it, period.
Yes, I think this whenever I hear fellow liberals say "this isn't the case he should be prosecuted for. It should be the Georgia ballots." Why not hold him accountable for any and all potential crimes committed?
That Trump phone call to the Georgia AG should have lit every American's hair on fire. But now we have an entire media apparatus that exists to shield Republicans from accountability.
I'm basically binging the same lawsuits from different political channels. The socialists don't seem to care, the Republicans are calling it political motivated, while the Democrates or more left leaning are going with it's partially right.

"We have a criminal justice system in this country, we have civil litigation, and former Presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one." - Mitch McConnell, 2/13/21
The "other crime", as stated in the complaint, is tax evasion and adjusting records such that an employee or second party can evade taxation. It falls under NY PL 175.10 and 175.15 "Falsifying Business Records". They don't even have to convict him of tax evasion first, just show that this was the intent.

@@RandolfLycan paying people to hide information that could affect the result of his campaign. in this case people hearing about his affair with Stormy Daniels could definitely have affected the result of the election, and by paying her off and hiding the payments, he affected the results of the election in his favor.

These cases will likely do nothing to stop him from running. Additionally, Trump CAN run from jail, if something were to happen. These investigations are all to hold him accountable for crimes he committed. Many people do believe "you break the law, you go to jail". The President, or a previous President" shouldn't be above the law.
2:44 "But I think that these particular allegations against Trump are pretty far afield of the really serious allegations that justify going after a former president." I am not a legal scholar, so can someone explain to me what sorts of crimes a former president should be allowed to commit with impunity?
We all know why they are going after Trump. It is because he is different and relatable. He is not your "typical politician" and I think he will win again. But hey, let's pretend we don't.
These are sham prosecutions/cases. I’m a senior attorney at the law firm that selects which democratic candidate will be chosen “elected” when and where. This is something we disagree with.
There are certain rules you have to follow as a president and if you risk leaking highly secret documents to other countries thats very dangerous for the US. The democratic system isn't nearly as democratic as in other western states by the way according to some experts.
Lock him up... that's the answer on what to do if he did anything illegal.... bet your bottom dollar if it were any of us we'd be hauled away to a black site if we kept any highly sensitive material with us.
I don't understand, each charge was for a crime. That would be 34 crimes, each in the 1st degree. Trump has not been found guilty for any of them, but he has been charged for 34 crimes.
The thing that bothers me most is the “respect” given to a former president. If anything, someone in the most powerful jobs in the world should be more liable to criminal investigation, not less. The idea that we waited until he didn’t have access to enormous power to see if he was a criminal or not blows my mind. Respect for the office shouldn’t protect you from punishment when you’re the one denigrating that office in the first place.
I have a genuine question: these matters usually take years of back and forth wranglings, during which Trump could continue running for President (under the presumption of innocence) and if he wins, he can then take advantage of immunity to escape any prosecution... is that a possibility?
That’s very much a possibility, and many think that he wouldn’t be attempting to run again at all were it not for that potential chance at stalling legal action.
It’s gonna be a witch hunt when they hunt him down and push him off the cliff only for him to fly on his broom off into the night to win the 2024 election 😂
Their simplified walk through of the legal process didn't mention that the vast majority of all criminal cases get settled before trial. Yes, settlement can include a prison sentence, but there are no violent crimes here. There is no version of this story that ends with a prison sentence.
So weird is the persons pressing the issue... and the area that they can and will destroy all evidence other than the ones against him. The entire Democratic side have been inside trading.
The narcissists prayer: That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, *YOU DESERVED IT.*
Trump will surely argue that the votes were stolen *from him* and that he was just saying that recovering 11,780 of the votes stolen from him would be enough to restore justice.
It seemed to work till Trump tried to overturn it. Since then his actions have created mistrust . I think that is one of the worst effects of this whole sorry saga .
Someone who spends their career following and writing on a topic is an expert. It's like how a "professional" is technically someone who gets paid to do something.
Severity wise the NY case doesn’t compare. But his lawyer Michael C has already been to prison because the case was so solid. Trump is certainly taking the case seriously.
Wish all political leaders would be investigated as throughly as Trump is right now cause Trump probably as more on him because he's made some enemies.
He threatens people like a mafia boss. Mocking the democratic system through bribery and threats should be one of the highest criminal sentence in a democracy. As many have said, non elected people go to jail for far less than that.
"now that hes out of office its time to look into it" the whole premise for our judicial system is that noone is above it, but obviously thats not true if theres conditions before you can even start looking into it
From France, I just want to reiterate my sincere admiration for American democracy and my deep love for your People. You are able to sack, indict and sentence your criminal ruling elite without ever stepping away from constitutional democracy.
Another thing that should be noted is that during grand jury proceedings the general rules of evidence are not applicable. That means a lot of the stuff you can present to a grand jury would be excluded from trial. Also the defendant does not get to make their case to a grand jury, they only hear one side of the argument, the prosecutors.
Weird way to do things, grand juries are unique to the american system, their role is usually played by a judge or independent prosecutor in other countries.
One thing to remember, anything they get away with doing to President Trump, they could probably get away with doing to you, or maybe your favorite politician. Ya always gotta be careful what ya wish for. F J B

These investigations are all to hold him accountable for crimes he committed. Many people do believe "you break the law, you go to jail". The President, or a previous President" shouldn't be above the law.
He also took down all of the memorial status. And on Memorial Day he did not show up for ceremonies he also disrespected the queen Elizabeth
This is a good video version of that article from a couple days ago! The diagrams and interview clips definitely make it more digestible.
It was one victimless misdemeanour.
Oh great. Someone tell the AG. You, who haven’t seen the evidence, know all about the case. Have you told Bragg? He might want to know.
“I just want to find… 11780 votes”
The 11781st ‘hidden’ voter:
I recently asked my Ford dealer to find me a red 2023 F-150.
When will be going to jail?
@@JayBee-cr8jm You can buy a car, you cant buy votes. If by "finding" you meant to steal it, you also go to jail.
@@JayBee-cr8jm what?
@@JayBee-cr8jm you won’t, because People are taking it out of context
@@2probro-cy6qo I ASKED MY FORD DEALER TO "FIND ME A NEW 2023 F-150". I WANT A RED ONE. WHEN WILL I BE GOING TO JAIL? APPARENTLY THIS IS A CRIME.
2:44 "But I think that these particular allegations against Trump are pretty far afield of the really serious allegations that justify going after a former president."
I am not a legal scholar, so can someone explain to me what sorts of crimes a former president should be allowed to commit with impunity?
Seems illegal to most here in Europe. Really hope the US is capable of putting an end to stuff like this promptly.
Trumps the tip of a very large iceberg that’s has no plan of melting anytime soon
@@PatrickOnPoint Sorry to say. You might be right. May they remain a minority.
We all know why they are going after Trump. It is because he is different and relatable. He is not your "typical politician" and I think he will win again. But hey, let's pretend we don't.
This is what you get, when you let daddy's little boy run the whole country!
Well done America, well done GOP!
that call between trump and raffensperger, can't believe he talks just the same in private as when he's doing a speech
Who you on the phone with?
"That guy."
This should be done on every election not just Trump. This just reminds us that we are missing a lot of information.
These are sham prosecutions/cases. I’m a senior attorney at the law firm that selects which democratic candidate will be chosen “elected” when and where.
This is something we disagree with.
Any politician from any party who violates the law should be charged, yes. It's not a zero sum game. We can go after members of both parties. :D
As an Indian I'm concerned about the decline of democracy in USA and use of authorities and media as weapon against political leaders
There are certain rules you have to follow as a president and if you risk leaking highly secret documents to other countries thats very dangerous for the US. The democratic system isn't nearly as democratic as in other western states by the way according to some experts.
Trump did indeed weaponize the system against political leaders.
And I’m concerned for India. You are a rising super power and Hindu nationalism is being spread in your country with the help of teachers
I always wanted my country (Germany) to shift investments from china to India

Lock him up... that's the answer on what to do if he did anything illegal.... bet your bottom dollar if it were any of us we'd be hauled away to a black site if we kept any highly sensitive material with us.
Hearing him on that call....he really doesn't listen to others at all.
34 charges, not crimes
I don't understand, each charge was for a crime. That would be 34 crimes, each in the 1st degree. Trump has not been found guilty for any of them, but he has been charged for 34 crimes.
flimsy charges, will get dismissed
@@OffTheCover that is what the court and the jury will decide, not random people on the Internet.
@@OffTheCover Are you a lawyer 'Off The Cover'?
Can't wait for him to win in 2024! The meltdown is going to be wild!
Now make a video of the other ex presidents illegal activities
The thing that bothers me most is the “respect” given to a former president. If anything, someone in the most powerful jobs in the world should be more liable to criminal investigation, not less. The idea that we waited until he didn’t have access to enormous power to see if he was a criminal or not blows my mind. Respect for the office shouldn’t protect you from punishment when you’re the one denigrating that office in the first place.
I have a genuine question: these matters usually take years of back and forth wranglings, during which Trump could continue running for President (under the presumption of innocence) and if he wins, he can then take advantage of immunity to escape any prosecution... is that a possibility?
Weirder things have happened in the last five years.
That’s very much a possibility, and many think that he wouldn’t be attempting to run again at all were it not for that potential chance at stalling legal action.
They'll start in over again when he leaves office
yes. big and likely possibility.
@@grimaffiliations3671 …IF he leaves office. It could be possible for him to extend the term of presidency.
It's not a "witch-hunt" if he's really a witch.
Well technically it would be a perfect example of a witch hunt
@@Daniel-fv1ff trump wants to bring those back
Please don't insult witches like that :)
It’s gonna be a witch hunt when they hunt him down and push him off the cliff only for him to fly on his broom off into the night to win the 2024 election 😂
Would he have the Secret service while in prison?
Their simplified walk through of the legal process didn't mention that the vast majority of all criminal cases get settled before trial. Yes, settlement can include a prison sentence, but there are no violent crimes here. There is no version of this story that ends with a prison sentence.
@@juliav.mcclelland2415 There technically is but its very unlikely
@@juliav.mcclelland2415 lol if that makes you feel better Keep telling yourself that.
@@juliav.mcclelland2415 I really doubt that federal prosecutors would be willing to settle on the theft of Top Secret documents.
@@juliav.mcclelland2415 He'll never see the inside of a jail cell. Worst he'll get is house arrest.
Too complex for mainstream media to report scarily
So weird is the persons pressing the issue... and the area that they can and will destroy all evidence other than the ones against him. The entire Democratic side have been inside trading.
"People of GA are angry" ...that Tromp is being held accountable? Idiocracy is a documentary for the cultists there, not everyone though.
Vox : Trump is a menace to society !
My honest reaction : **insert Mike O'Hearn meme**
Anyone else seeing this after him being indicted
All of us
Nobody is above the law, but some are more above the law than others.
"everyone is equal, but some are mor equal then others"?
The narcissists prayer:
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, *YOU DESERVED IT.*
The Georgia phone call is cut and dry.
Trump will surely argue that the votes were stolen *from him* and that he was just saying that recovering 11,780 of the votes stolen from him would be enough to restore justice.
I'm sensing that Trump's opponents will definiely consider using that as part of their attack ads.
Our election and electoral system seems dangerously vulnerable, even jeapardizing the stability of our nation. What a mess.
It seemed to work till Trump tried to overturn it. Since then his actions have created mistrust . I think that is one of the worst effects of this whole sorry saga .

The Georgia case is evidently the more serious one.
I think so, too. At least there are still Republican officials who put integrity over blind loyalty to one person.
I love how the "experts" you interview are just other Vox reporters. It's like that Obama awarding medal to Obama meme
Easy access, and guaranteed not to say anything that doesn't line up with vox's agenda
You characters are funny. Shouldn't you be gushing over at the Fox Ooze channel?
@Anglofone You misspelled your own favorite channel oan. I think I hear your sister calling you back to bed.
Someone who spends their career following and writing on a topic is an expert. It's like how a "professional" is technically someone who gets paid to do something.
"i believe we do have an accurate election"
"nope. nope. nope. no you don't."

How about caring about all investigations held against our political leaders. Holding one accountable and not the other is political discrimination.
Severity wise the NY case doesn’t compare. But his lawyer Michael C has already been to prison because the case was so solid. Trump is certainly taking the case seriously.
Wish all political leaders would be investigated as throughly as Trump is right now cause Trump probably as more on him because he's made some enemies.
Trump 2024
He threatens people like a mafia boss.
Mocking the democratic system through bribery and threats should be one of the highest criminal sentence in a democracy.
As many have said, non elected people go to jail for far less than that.
"Unpresidented" behavior!? Do we have a pun going here!?
TRUMP 2024
We can’t have him go to jail how will he play with joe and obama in minecraft????
He better call saul.
Really!.......REALLY! ....just where is the evidence of any wrong doing here? What a witch hunt.
"Now that he is no longer president" shouldn't be a requirement.
The guy flys to court in in personal jet plane and pays no taxes, and we’re debating if he is a criminal 🇺🇸
And is asking his fans to donate money. What a grifter!
"now that hes out of office its time to look into it" the whole premise for our judicial system is that noone is above it, but obviously thats not true if theres conditions before you can even start looking into it
just ask former FBI director James Comey on what happens if you dare to investigate a sitting president.
Not Guilty - Never Gonna Be. TRUMP 2024!
The true test to democracy is to held any citizen accountable no matter their status or position.
Id be more surprised if you showed me a top ranking politician not committing crimes for financial gain.

Donald trump for President❤
He seems such a nice and innocent man.
Total witch hunt and now we're seeing it play out in real time
@@OffTheCover I think you missed the sarcasm 😅
I can't wait to never hear or see #45 ever again.
What do you mean he broke the law and they need to figure out what to do about it... You jail him you don't let him get away. That's it.
Best president America ever had.
Why no highlight on the NY State civil inquiry led by Letitia James? She wants to bar the family from doing business in NY.
Good question.
That investigation also referred evidence for possible criminal charges of tax evasion and fraud.
North america really been focusing on all the wrong things and its truly sad to watch
Can confirm, it’s really depressing
From France, I just want to reiterate my sincere admiration for American democracy and my deep love for your People. You are able to sack, indict and sentence your criminal ruling elite without ever stepping away from constitutional democracy.
I prefer him over the senile one which causes wars, economic collapsed, chaos, etc
people were saying for years that this guy is sus, now its all coming out.
And it only came out when he became president. Coincidence. Not likely..
Lock IT up!
Lock IT up!

Does your mom know about you?
@Project Pat yes, but, Daddy Donald forced her into an NDA.
Hey, how's the bankruptcy feeling?
why should you have to have “enough” to go after a president? he’s still a citizen of the country and should abide by its laws. tf
If criminal activities are censored than all the United States president should be in jail. Lol
When you want to bring a real change and the big corporations want you down
Another thing that should be noted is that during grand jury proceedings the general rules of evidence are not applicable. That means a lot of the stuff you can present to a grand jury would be excluded from trial. Also the defendant does not get to make their case to a grand jury, they only hear one side of the argument, the prosecutors.
Weird way to do things, grand juries are unique to the american system, their role is usually played by a judge or independent prosecutor in other countries.
@@Tiwack01 not all states utilize them the same. Typically older/northeastern states use Grand Juries more frequently than newer/western states.
One thing to remember, anything they get away with doing to President Trump, they could probably get away with doing to you, or maybe your favorite politician. Ya always gotta be careful what ya wish for.

Lucky the majority of people aren’t criminals then , and most people don’t have a “ favourite politician “ that’s weird to adore a politician
No biden
No trump
Give me dale earnhardt
At this point I think a glass of water in the oval office would be a better president.
“Acted in ways no president ever acted before…..” 🤣 Vox I thought y’all were smarter than that… 🤦🏾♂️
give me a past president who incited an insurrection besides trump
Everyone mentions the "other crime" that the hush money/business fraud needs to be tied to, but the real fatal flaw is that all of those crimes have passed the statute of limitations. This case was brought too late, and that will likely cause it to fail.
Because there's no case, just ask the federal court
@@jamesgang7605 Don't cite an anonymous source and say "it would agree with me". "The federal court" is not a monolith. I would rather ask named experts like P.

Nobody ever persuades the person that they're arguing with, and that's not my goal. It's a public argument, one that another person who "has no horse in this race" can look at and say "wow, this person clearly knows what he's talking about while this other guy has nothing".
