'It takes us very dangerously close to the conclusion that if Donald Trump were not the president of the United States, he would be under indictment,' Bharara said.

Preet Bharara—the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York —laid out his theory on Tuesday that his former office might've have already indicted President Donald Trump if he were not the commander-in-chief.

MSNBC host Willie Geist asked him:"What is the legal peril for President Trump, specifically with the Southern District of New York?" Bharara gave a response worth seeing in full, which lays out exactly why he thinks Trump would likely be under indictment if he weren't president.

"All these people who hope that he’s going to take this scourge of a man out of the White House are going to be really disappointed when he doesn’t do that," Bharara told Politico Magazine."It’s perfectly possible that the Mueller report will not be that damaging to the president. And all of us need to be prepared to accept that and move on."
