CNN political analyst Carl Bernstein said Monday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that he believed former President Donald Trump was a “rogue criminal president.”
According to Bernstein, Trump was perpetuating the lie that he won the 2020 presidential election, which is undermining American democracy.
Discussing former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit to block the January 6 select committee from getting documents citing executive privilege, Bernstein said, “This is clearly not a legitimate exercise of executive privilege.”
He continued, “This is about trying to suppress the truth, about a president engaging in illegal acts, anti-constitutional acts, trying to learn what, indeed, he was doing as he tried to thwart the American electoral process. This is not about trying to find out anything about the legitimate functions of the president of the United States and the exercise of his power.”
Bernstein added, “This is about a rogue criminal president undermining the Constitution, undermining American democracy. Again, you go back to the Nixon example, but this is even more grievous, particularly because this president tried forever to keep himself in office after the election. After he had been turned out of office, he tried to subvert the electoral process and the counting of votes, tried to keep the electoral college from casting its vote, and electing the next president of the United States, knowing, full well, that he had been defeated in a fair, honest, and open election. He continues to perpetuate the lie and the lies that have allowed this process to go forward in such a way as we now have grave doubts about what the Republican Party is going to do in the next election.”

I prefer Trump as my president and not the corrupt senile puppet we have in the white house now.
But its just fine for the left for FOUR YEARS to say that Trump really didnt win..gotta love the hypocrisy with that buffoon
For some reason, none of these liberals who claim Trump lost, are willing to prove that Joe won fair and square.
Questioning the election results doesn’t make him a criminal, Carl. And whether he can exercise executive privilege will be decided in a court of law, not by the opinion of Carl Bernstein.
Congressional Republicans applauded too.
The charges are correct but he got the wrong President
Not clear if connected to Durham probe at this point"

"My sources say Durham will be holding a press conference within 24 hours regarding this arrest.
I can say no more"

A “rogue criminal President” so, he acknowledges that President Trump is the President.
Excellent FRAUD presentation.
The election was riddled with FRAUD !!!
A perfect spokesperson for delusion, who hopes against hope that his audience, small as it is, will follow.
Donald Trump , U.S.national leader for life. No checks or balances. Let him do his thing . Pull the weeds .
Works for me
Trump said his campaign was spied on ... ah hah says Berntein’s pals, Trump has no evidence that obozo spied on him ... [Trump proven right]
Trump said that the Russia story was a hoax ... ah hah says Bernstein’s pals, “we have seen the evidence, he is a Russian asset ...” [Trump proven right]
Trump said the election was stolen and I don’t give a crap what Bernstein thinks ... Trump has credibility ... Bernstein has none, and neither do his pals in the corporate leftist anti-American propagandist media. If democracy dies, they killed it.
Bernstein was one of the reporters on the initial CNN coverage of the fake Steele dossier.
Wait. Carl Bernstein is not dead? How is that possible?
He is the ECHO of Woodward who made the same statement a few days ago.
Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee
Yes. Our votes were stolen by Massive in your face fraud. And they think we will overlook it if the LIE is spread around often enough.
This guy has an unhealthy obsession.
I think he’s gay.
The ONLY “rogue criminal president” extent is Sloe Joe!
Bernstein is himself a rogue criminal journalist with no credibility other than with the anti-American freaks who never tire of yelping that their buttboy Biden is a legitimately elected POTUS!
