one of the federal prosecutors arguing for jack smith and his team pushed back against the notion that limiting immunity for a president or a former president would leave a former president open to a floodgate of potential prosecution. this is about two minutes from those arguments in january. this notion that we're all of a sudden going to see a floodgate, i think the -- again, the carefulnvtigations and the clinton era didn't resulin any charges. the fact thathis investigation did doesn't reflect that we are goingo see a sea change of vindictive tit for tat prosec in the future. i think it reflects the fuamtally unprecedented nature of the criminal charges here. never before has there been obligations that a sitting president hasitprivate individuals and using the levers of power to sub vertical the democratic republic and the loreal system. i think it will be scary if there were not some sort of mechanism by which treh that. as i understand my frienonhe other sides, a presidentrds is assassinate a political rival and resigns, for example, before an impeachment, not a criminal act. t

for the specifics, jack smith's operation has been clear. the stuff that happened on january 6th is inherently not about the acts of the presidency because trump had lost. he'd lost the election. therefore, it is not a presidential act, and, therefore, he should not get immunity for it. whether the justices see it that way is a whole other matter. look, i think this is pretty evident that what is happening here is trump's team wants to just muck things up. i don't think that there is anything more to it. they want to delay it. way that i want to get this out from the election. ideally, they want to see trump win and dispense with the matter. i think the "journal's" editorial, there is nothing debatable or objectionable about it. of course, presidents should have some level of immunity for acts they take in office. the question is whether it should be blanket immunity. i think on that front, the vast majority of the legal profession is on one side, saying, no, there should not be blanket immu immunity. >> muck things sup a technical, legal te
