Andrew Weissmann: Trump Case 'So Much Worse Than Watergate' [VIDEO]

During an appearance on Morning Joe on Thursday morning, former prosecutor Andrew Weissmann explained why Trump's reported actions in the lead-up to January 6th. 

Donald Trump has attempted to use every resource he can to avoid facing the consequences of inciting the January 6th insurrection. Jack Smith has not been deterred by any of those moves and revealed some of the evidence he has against the former President on Wednesday. 

Weissmann opened by saying:

"The Supreme Court [required] Jack Smith to truncate his proof, to only use witnesses who are private witnesses or people in public office but acting in a private capacity as a candidate, even with that limitation, that you can't use any evidence from people who are acting in an official capacity at the White House or elsewhere, this is sort of body blow after body blow with really shocking evidence."

The former prosecutor continued:

"I am old enough to remember Watergate, which was a scandal about cheating and trying to find out what it is your opponent knew through illegal means and covering that up. This is so much worse. It lays out an effort to undermine and thwart the votes of millions and millions of people just to stay in office, and the evidence is coming from Donald Trump's own people, his own lawyers, his own campaign staff, and, most notably, his own vice president, who had every incentive to want to win that election but decided to act out of principle and follow the rule of law."
