you mentioned donald trump's political ambitions, william, what could this mean? this latest indictment mean for next year's presidential election and trump's campaign? in particular, as well as passive pro log the previous indictments only made him stronger among core republican voters. so i'm sure it's likely that this indictment will also see a boost if anything in the polling data for him among his republican voters. because remember, many of them, like i just said, are the kind of people that might also believe that this is an instrumentation. instrumental ization of, of the political system and that there's some kind of, uh, you know, a hunt out for donald trump. but of course, this only represent a small amount of the electorate. the bigger issue is that many people are dissatisfied with the idea of joe biden. running again, rather than revel, republican or democrat, which is also refueling, a donald trump's support. but we are unprecedented times up and running. i indictment and investigation of trial against donald trump while he's ready for president is s

. >> well, you'll recall that attorney general william barr, who was nothing, if not trump's sycophantleged facts were b.s. the white house counsel told him there was nothing there. all of the serious lawyers in his inner circle told him there was nothing there, which is why he reached to the outlandish circle of, you know, the bar scene from "star wars" to advise him to go ahead with what it was he just wanted to do. he clearly knew that he had lost the election and had made several statements to that effect. one of the new facts that appears in this indictment that we didn't have that does not appear in the january 6th select committee report is trump saying directly to pence, you're too honest which jumped out at me as a statement that probably came from mike pence. i don't though where it came from, but if he did say that to him undoubtedly it was something pence heard but trump obviously ope operates on lies, and, in fact, even the people who defend him don't say that he operates based on the truth. they just say all the politicians do it, because trump has basically lowered every
