MUST SEE: Jesse Watters Absolutely BLISTERS New Trump Indictment In Epic Rant

Fox News host Jesse Watters unleashed an epic rant his show where he vehemently criticized Monday’s indictment against former President Donald Trump. Watters’ passionate diatribe against the legal proceedings attracted attention from supporters of the former President.

The indictment, brought by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, alleges four counts connected to the riots on January 6th, 2021.

Watters began his segment by detailing the specifics of the indictment before launching into his blistering critique.

“‘Impaired the federal government from functioning’… isn’t that literally the Republican party platform to reduce the ability of the federal government for functioning?” Watters shouted. “And then they say it’s a crime to ask Pence not to certify. I wonder if Pence would agree that that was a crime.”

“And then lastly they’re saying lying about an election is illegal. Well then, Hillary, lock her up!” Watters exclaimed.

WATCH:

Late Monday afternoon former President Trump was indicted on four counts as part of the Special Counsel’s investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot. The indictment charges Trump with:

• Count One: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States
• Count Two: Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding
• Count Three: Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding
• Count Four: Conspiracy Against Rights

The 45-page document, now unsealed, was signed by Special Counsel Jack Smith and details the specific allegations against the former President.

The charges assert that Trump conspired to obstruct the counting of the Electoral College votes on January 6th. It implies that there was a concerted effort to hinder or disrupt the normal process of confirming the election results. Conspiracy Against Rights is a charge often used in civil rights cases. It alleges that Trump conspired to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate citizens in the free exercise of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law.

According to the indictment, Trump did “knowingly combine, conspire, confederate and agree with co-conspirators known and unknown to the grand jury to injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate one or more persons in the free exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege secured to them by the Constitution and laws of the United States. That is the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted in violation of Title 18 United States Code Section 24.”

The indictment against Trump however does not include charges related to insurrection or seditious conspiracy. These specific charges would relate to actions aimed at overthrowing or rebelling against the government. Instead, the charges focus on conspiracy, obstruction, and infringement of voting rights. The absence of these charges means that the legal argument does not assert that Trump was actively trying to incite a rebellion or overthrow the government.

To this point, the U.S. Constitution does not specifically prohibit someone convicted of a felony from serving as President. Thus, even if Trump were convicted on these charges, he would not be constitutionally barred from running for or serving as President again.

If Trump were to win the 2024 Presidential Election, he would have the power to pardon himself for federal crimes. This is a debated legal issue, and no President has ever attempted to pardon himself, so it would likely lead to legal challenges and a potential Supreme Court decision.

If Trump were to lose the election and be convicted on these charges, he could face imprisonment. The legal process would continue independently of the election outcome, and a conviction could lead to serious legal penalties, including jail time.
