Fox guest reveals to Shep Smith why New York's attorney general could take down Trump before Mueller

On Tuesday, the New York Attorney General’s office announced that it had secured an agreement to disband President Donald Trump’s personal charity as part of a lawsuit into the organization’s many alleged misdeeds.

Fox News host Shep Smith dedicated two segments to the charity scam, which infamously included paying $10,000 for a portrait of Trump.

Former prosecutor Bob Bianchi said that the news about Trump’s charity folding under the weight of state-level prosecution was possibly more consequential than the day’s developments related to former Trump aide Michael Flynn.

1). State charges can be filed against the *President regardless of DOJ guidelines.
2). State charges cannot be pardoned by the *President
3). Mueller has likely filed sealed indictments against Trump and others as a way for the investigation to continue if he were to be fired. Once they are filed, they can’t be unfiled. Mueller could add to them, but Trump can’t make them go away.
