Wallace: “I mean, here’s what — here are the official acts that we know about because of news accounts. I mean, he — he sought to pardon border officials if they broke the law to get them to do what he wanted. He extorted Zelenskyy to get him to dig up dirt on the Bidens. He did nothing while his supporters sought to ‘hang’ Mike Pence and beat law enforcement officials with flagpoles and other weapons. What do you imagine, having spent days and weeks and months investigating his first administration through the eyes and ears of his last administration officials, what do you envision for a second term? Should the polls, as they are today, hold up and he prevail?”

LOFGREN: “Well, he’s been very open about what he intends to do, and that’s retribution. He himself said last December he intends to terminate parts of the Constitution. He didn’t say which parts, but apparently the court is going to give him wide range to terminate whatever he wants. You know, he summoned a mob to Washington, knowing they were armed. He sent them to the Capitol to try and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. If that’s okay, we’ve got a problem in this country. And certainly, in the debate the other night, he would not commit to accepting the election results this November unless he won. So we’ve got a problem here if he cannot be accountable, if any president cannot be held accountable under the laws that exist, that’s a complete departure from our history. I guess, you know, theoretically, President Biden, acting within the scope of his official duties, could dispatch the military to take out the conservative justices on the court, and he’d be immune. Think so?”
