The Think Tank with Mike O'Neil

Post Impeachment: Who is in Legal Jeopardy?


Listen Later

The United States Capitol was breached by a sometimes armed and sometimes violent mob. Five people, including a Capitol policeman, died. President Trump was impeached for inciting this insurrection. Fifty-seven of 100 U.S. Senators voted to convict him for this, which fell short of the two-thirds constitutional requirement for removal from office.

 

Senate Majority Leader McConnell, in a speech immediately after the failure to convict gave an emotional speech citing Donald Trump’s many legal exposures since he is now out of office.

 

This week’s Think Tank has two uniquely qualified guests to discuss these exposures:

 

· Paul Charlton is a former US Attorney for Arizona, appointed by and serving under President George W. Bush.

 

· Terry Goddard is, among other things, former Arizona Attorney General having served in that capacity from 2003 to 2011.

 

These legal exposures are both criminal and civil. Some are federal and some are state or local.

 

Those at risk extend beyond Donald Trump himself to several of his chief aides as well as the hundreds of those who personally breached the Capitol building in an attempt to influence Congress’ certification of the 2020 election.

 

There are many elements to this legal exposure. This week’s Think Tank will consider several of the most significant.
