Club Random with Bill Maher
Michael Franzese | Club Random

I'm not obsessed with him, but I just want to have this discussion. Oh, you're talking about lawfare. Well, I mean, it's a tough question that he put the country in because as president, you don't want to go where so many other countries have gone, where the guy loses an election and now they prosecute him. Because they prosecuted him while he was president also with two impeachments.

Yes, because he does commit crimes. See, this is the little fly in your ointment, like not conceding the election, trying to get fake electors to show up.

when he knew, and every court told him, you can't do that, that went to court over 60 times, laughed out of every court, pressuring the Justice Department, calling up the guy in Georgia who was a Republican, the vote counter there, and saying to him, I need you to find 11,000 votes. It can't be more blatant than that, that these are crimes. I would also say,

The Russia thing, even what he just said out loud, Russia, if you're listening, I wish you could help me with my campaign. We never did that before, Michael. You see, we ran our own campaigns. We didn't bring in ringers from the outside. It's part of the original documents that the founding fathers wrote. We don't want any help from outside because we're going to handle this ourselves.

Maybe the Republicans and the Democrats fight each other to the tooth and nail, but don't bring in somebody from the outside. He broke that. He broke so many laws, not to mention norms. So the idea that, well, it's just lawfare going after him, it's not lawfare if the guy actually did commit crimes.

And again, you have to weigh that against what's the better tact, because you don't want to become that country where as soon as somebody leaves officeβ€” They prosecute them. What the president gets to do should have broad, broad protection. That's true. Because when you're president, you do have to make difficult decisions like we may have to bomb you.

And so you can't, you know what, okay, you can't just be called a war criminal for everybody you bomb. Sorry, that's just the way of the world. But he took it to a different level. So, yes, I don't think it's, I don't think it was all just lawfare. Bill, these crimes that they alleged, these are all nonsense.

I just listed why they weren't. You don't care. You just like him. I like who you like. You don't listen to the logic about it or the facts. You just like him. It's okay. You're entitled. Just don't bullshit me, man. Let me give you logic and facts, okay? I told you I had three racketeering indictments. Three, okay? I know the statute inside out and upside down. We're back to you now. No, no, no.
