Conservative retired judge says Trump has corroded and corrupted American democracy

  • Judy Woodruff:

    But do you worry that whether there's an acquittal or a conviction, what the effect could be?

  • J. Michael Luttig:

    We can expect that if the president were to be acquitted, that he and all of his supporters would claim that that was vindication that he was right that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.

    Were that to be the case, I don't believe that American democracy could be saved, at least in the near future.

  • Judy Woodruff:

    Is there anyone on the scene right now that can fill that?

  • J. Michael Luttig:

    There is not, not one single leader in America today, Judy.

  • Judy Woodruff:

    So what does that portend?

  • J. Michael Luttig:

    That alone portends hopelessness, right?

    But we have to be eternally hopeful.
