"The entire constitution of the United States is based upon the rule of law. The rule of law has to be applied, or seem to be applied as much as possible, equally. Trump has openly stated that the president should be above and outside the law.

If he is convicted of crimes, some of which are quite serious in respect to his political positon, he doesn't care. He will seek to be re-elected to overturn the rule of law, with respect to himself. And that's what we can see coming.

In other words, we will have an election in which [Trump] will say, it's me or the rule of law."
