This is not hyperbole.

這不是誇張。

Never have the stakes been higher, but neither has the choice been so easy to make.

這是從未有過的高風險，但也從未有過如此容易做出的選擇。

This is a video that I dreaded I would have to make.

這是我最怕拍的一段視頻。

I was really looking forward to the possibility that the Republican nominee would be anyone other than Donald Trump.

我真的很期待共和黨的提名人可能不是唐納德-特朗普。

If it had been Mitt Romney, Nikki Haley, or even Ron DeSantis, this video endorsement would have simply explained that you should vote for whoever you wanted based on your policy preferences, because from a legal perspective, it would have been safe to vote for either candidate.

如果是米特-羅姆尼（Mitt Romney）、尼基-黑利（Nikki Haley），甚至是羅恩-德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis），這個視頻代言人就會簡單地解釋說，你應該根據自己的政策偏好投票給你想要的人，因為從法律角度來看，投票給任何一位候選人都是安全的。

And it was going to be gloriously clickbaity with probably the same title and thumbnail that I used here.

它的標題和縮略圖可能和我在這裡用的一樣，點擊率很高。

But unfortunately, this isn't that video because the Republicans nominated Donald Trump, again.

但不幸的是，這不是那段視頻，因為共和黨又提名了唐納德-特朗普。

Others will explain the policy differences between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump.

其他人將解釋副總統卡馬拉-哈里斯和前總統特朗普之間的政策差異。

But that's not the point of this video.

但這不是本視頻的重點。

I have very strong policy preferences.

我有非常強烈的政策傾向。

And while they do come out from time to time because law is the result of politics, this video's endorsement is not based on those policy preferences.

雖然法律是政治的結果，是以它們時不時會出現，但本視頻的支持並非基於這些政策偏好。

And when I talk about a policy matter, I'm talking about the laws that a president might sign or the actions they might take, things that they can legitimately do under our system of governance.

當我談到政策問題時，我指的是總統可能簽署的法律或可能採取的行動，這些都是在我們的治理體系下他們可以合法做的事情。

And those preferences are partisan, and that's fine.

這些偏好是黨派性的，沒關係。

Reasonable minds can differ about those policies.

理智的人可以對這些政策持不同意見。

But this is not about policy.

但這與政策無關。

This is about the law itself.

這與法律本身有關。

This is an endorsement based on the law from a group of lawyers based on their experience and knowledge of the law.

這是由一組律師根據他們的經驗和法律知識做出的法律認可。

And it's about the preservation of our democracy.

這關係到維護我們的民主。

So not to bury the lead, Legal Eagle cannot endorse Donald Trump for president.

是以，為了不埋沒線索，Legal Eagle 不能支持唐納德-特朗普競選總統。

Donald Trump represents an affront to the law.

Kamala Harris will uphold the law.

This election is a choice between a criminal or a prosecutor.

這次選舉是在罪犯還是檢察官之間做出選擇。

And I'd like to explain why this distinction is the only one that matters in this election.

我想解釋一下為什麼這種區別是這次選舉中唯一重要的區別。

Because Donald Trump represents a credible threat to the rule of law, free speech, and free elections.

因為唐納德-特朗普對法治、言論自由和自由選舉構成了可信的威脅。

And without the rule of law, free speech, and free elections, the rest simply doesn't matter.

如果沒有法治、言論自由和自由選舉，其他的根本就不重要。

At that point, your policy preferences are irrelevant.

在這一點上，你的政策偏好無關緊要。

We believe that if you care about the rule of law, the evenhandedness of our governmental and judicial systems, and want to make sure that your vote counts in the future, you cannot vote for Donald Trump in this election.

我們認為，如果您關心法治，關心我們政府和司法系統的公正性，並希望確保您的選票在未來能發揮重要作用，您就不能在這次選舉中投票給唐納德-特朗普。

And I'd like to make the case that if you do care about the rule of law, Kamala Harris is the only choice.

我想說明的是，如果你真的關心法治，卡馬拉-哈里斯是唯一的選擇。

First, not to state the obvious, but Trump is a criminal who has no respect for the law and seeks to flaunt the law for his personal gain.

首先，我不想說得太明顯，但特朗普是一個罪犯，他不尊重法律，為了個人利益而藐視法律。

特朗普收買了一名成人電影女演員，阻止她公開兩人的關係，然後偽造商業記錄以掩蓋違反選舉法的行為。

A jury convicted him of all 34 charges related to the incident, which was meant to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

陪審團判定他與該事件有關的全部 34 項指控成立，該事件意在影響 2016 年大選結果。

Additionally, Trump sexually assaulted E.

此外，特朗普還對 E. 進行了性侵犯。

He was barred from taking out loans from a New York bank, and now must pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines.

特朗普被迫向參加特朗普大學的學生支付 2500 萬美元，因為房地產研討會是一場騙局。

Trump is banned from running a charity in New York because he misused charity funds for his political campaign.

特朗普被禁止在紐約經營慈善機構，因為他濫用慈善資金進行政治競選。

而這些判決、和解和定罪的清單很可能會大幅增加。

Trump was indicted for illegally retaining highly classified defense documents and obstruction of justice.

But remember, impeachment is a political remedy, not a legal one.

但請記住，彈劾是一種政治手段，而不是法律手段。

They are explicitly intended to subvert the democratic process.

它們的目的很明確，就是要顛覆民主進程。

Trump has run for president three times in the last decade.

Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.

俄羅斯，如果你在聽，我希望你能找到丟失的3萬封郵件。

The report also details 10 instances where Trump attempted to interfere with the investigation and obstruct justice. 34 individuals and three companies were indicted because of the Mueller report, including Trump allies, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, and Paul Manafort, who you will recall was Trump's campaign chairman.

報告還詳述了特朗普試圖干擾調查和妨礙司法公正的 10 次事件。由於穆勒的報告，34 名個人和三家公司被起訴，其中包括特朗普的盟友羅傑-斯通、邁克-弗林和保羅-馬納福特，大家應該還記得保羅-馬納福特曾是特朗普的競選主席。

If a man is judged by the company that he keeps, Trump has surrounded himself with corruption.

And unbelievably, on his way out the door, Trump granted clemency to his corrupt political advisors, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, and George Papadopoulos.

令人難以置信的是，在臨走時，特朗普還赦免了他的腐敗政治顧問保羅-馬納福特、羅傑-斯通、邁克爾-弗林、史蒂夫-班農和喬治-帕帕佐普洛斯。

He sought to delay the results of the election by any means necessary.

And as detailed in the DC prosecution, this was only the most visible part of a larger conspiracy to make sure that the election certification never happened.

正如華盛頓特區起訴書中詳細描述的那樣，這只是一個更大陰謀中最明顯的部分，這個陰謀就是要確保選舉認證永遠不會發生。

As you can see, many of Trump's crimes and conduct strike at the heart of our democracy.

正如您所看到的，特朗普的許多罪行和行為都觸及了我們民主的核心。

They are both self-serving and anti-democratic.

He subverted democracy before and is trying to do it again, right in front of our faces.

他曾經顛覆過民主，現在又想當著我們的面再次顛覆。

Which takes me to the next point.

這讓我想到了下一點。

Donald Trump will destroy our core freedoms for his own personal gain.

唐納德-特朗普會為了一己私利摧毀我們的核心自由。

Trump frequently undermines free speech by attacking the media, individual journalists, social media platforms, and critics.

特朗普經常通過攻擊媒體、記者個人、社交媒體平臺和批評者來破壞言論自由。

He retaliated against John Bolton for writing a book, which is the ongoing subject of my lawsuit against the government.

A never sent draft resignation letter by General Mark Milley said Trump was quote, doing great and irreparable harm to the US in 2020 after police used tear gas and batons to clear protesters and journalists out of the then president's way for a photo op in Lafayette Square.

馬克-米利（Mark Milley）將軍在一封從未寄出的辭職信草稿中說，特朗普在拉斐特廣場使用催淚瓦斯和警棍驅散抗議者和記者，不讓時任總統在廣場合影留念，這對美國在 2020 年造成了無法彌補的巨大傷害。

Law enforcement used tear gas because Trump was told he couldn't just shoot the protesters.

執法人員使用催淚瓦斯，是因為特朗普被告知不能直接向抗議者開槍。

He has repeatedly called the press the enemy of the people and weaponized the DOJ against certain reporters.

他曾多次稱新聞界為人民公敵，並將司法部作為對付某些記者的武器。

Trump said he would revoke the broadcast license of CBS, which isn't a thing you can do because they interviewed his opponent, Kamala Harris.

特朗普說，他將吊銷哥倫比亞廣播公司的廣播執照，這不是你能做的事，因為他們採訪了他的對手卡馬拉-哈里斯。

And Trump has a game plan if he's elected again.

如果再次當選，特朗普已經有了一個遊戲計劃。

It's called Project 2025.

這就是所謂的 "2025 項目"。

Project 2025 is a bespoke manual for fascism.

2025 計劃是一本為法西斯主義量身定製的手冊。

It lays out exactly what Trump can do, how he can do it, and who he can staff the government with.

它準確地列出了特朗普能做什麼、如何做以及他能為政府配備哪些人員。

And the worst part is that it includes a whole bunch of things that are arguably legal, but are just old timey fascism.

最糟糕的是，它還包括一大堆可以說是合法，但只是舊時代法西斯主義的東西。

Trump wants to do one of those one weird tricks, but for ending civil liberties.

特朗普想要玩一個怪招，但卻是為了結束公民自由。

For example, the Comstock Act of 1873 is a federal law that regulated the distribution of materials considered to be obscene, lewd, or immoral.

例如，1873 年的《康斯托克法》是一部聯邦法律，對被視為淫穢、下流或不道德的材料的傳播進行監管。

The law primarily targeted materials related to birth control, abortion, pornography, and contraceptives.

該法主要針對與節育、墮胎、色情和避孕有關的材料。

The law is still on the books and Trump and his allies want to enforce it once again to ban medical abortions and contraceptive and criminally convict doctors.

該法仍在實施，特朗普及其盟友希望再次執行該法，禁止醫療墮胎和避孕，並對醫生進行刑事定罪。

And then there's the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the four laws known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts, passed by Congress during the presidency of John Adams.

還有 1798 年的《外國人敵人法》，它是四部法律之一，統稱為《外國人和煽動叛亂法》，由國會在約翰-亞當斯擔任總統期間通過。

The Alien Enemies Act gave the president the authority to detain, arrest, imprison, or deport non-citizens from nations that were considered to be hostile to the United States.

外敵法》授權總統拘留、逮捕、監禁或驅逐來自被視為美國敵對國家的非公民。

And Trump has said he wants to use this law to use the military on American soil to inter and deport tens of millions of immigrants.

特朗普曾表示，他希望利用這項法律，在美國本土動用軍隊，攔截並驅逐數千萬移民。

And he doesn't just want to stop there.

他並不想就此止步。

He wants to use the Alien Enemies Act to use the military to deport legal immigrants, including dreamers and Haitian immigrants, who are legally residing in the United States.

他想利用《外敵法》動用軍隊驅逐合法移民，包括合法居住在美國的夢想者和海地移民。

And who, I will remind you, despite the blood libel levied by Trump, did not eat any cats or dogs.

我要提醒各位，儘管特朗普對他進行了血腥誹謗，但他並沒有吃掉任何貓或狗。

That was a complete fabrication.

這完全是無中生有。

And under the same auspices, Trump has also vowed to use the military against Democrats, who he claims are the enemies from within.

在同樣的前提下，特朗普還發誓要動用軍隊來對付民主黨人，他聲稱民主黨人是來自內部的敵人。

You don't have to take our word for it.

你不必相信我們的話。

Many of Trump's key appointees and advisors will absolutely not vote for him in 2024.

特朗普的許多重要任命者和顧問絕對不會在 2024 年投票支持他。

The list is vast and growing.

這樣的例子不勝枚舉，而且還在不斷增加。

It includes former Vice President Mike Pence, former Chair of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Milley, former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, former White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, former Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, former Attorney General, Bill Barr, former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, and former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

其中包括前副總統邁克-彭斯（Mike Pence）、前參謀長聯席會議主席馬克-米利（Mark Milley）、前國家安全顧問約翰-博爾頓（John Bolton）、前白宮辦公廳主任約翰-凱利（John Kelly）、前國防部長詹姆斯-馬蒂斯（James Mattis）、前司法部長比爾-巴爾（Bill Barr）、前國防部長馬克-埃斯佩爾（Mark Esper）和前國務卿雷克斯-蒂勒森（Rex Tillerson）。

And this is merely the tip of the iceberg.

而這僅僅是冰山一角。

There are hundreds, if not thousands more.

如果不是成千上萬，也有成百上千。

There has never been an administration in history where so many of the people that the President himself appointed have changed their mind and stated that the President is unfit for office.

歷史上從未有一屆政府，由總統親自任命的人中有如此多的人改變主意，說總統不適合當總統。

In part, they recognize that Trump, with full faculties, was a threat to democracy.

在一定程度上，他們認識到，特朗普的能力十足，是對民主的威脅。

General Mark Milley called Trump, quote, a fascist to the core.

馬克-米利將軍稱特朗普為 "徹頭徹尾的法西斯主義者"。

But it's clear that Trump is also in mental and physical decline.

但很明顯，特朗普的精神和身體狀況也在走下坡路。

His speeches are word salads.

他的演講就是文字沙拉。

He doesn't live in the same reality that we do, and he just simply makes up facts all day long.

他和我們生活在不同的現實中，他只是整天胡編亂造。

And while losing a step when you're almost 80 is not necessarily incompatible with a successful presidency, here, the lack of mental faculty means he's more likely to be taken advantage of by his advisors and more quickly to jump to authoritarian tactics.

雖然年近八旬卻步履蹣跚並不一定與成功的總統任期不相稱，但在這裡，智力的缺失意味著他更有可能被顧問利用，更快地採取獨裁手段。

History has shown that Donald Trump will always take the easy road, and in a second term, there won't be anyone to curb those tendencies.

歷史證明，唐納德-特朗普總是會走捷徑，而在第二個任期內，不會有人來遏制他的這種傾向。

Which brings us to the economy.

這就涉及到經濟問題。

Economic policies are usually based in policy preferences.

經濟政策通常以政策偏好為基礎。

There are some who welcome Trump's plan to place tariffs on all foreign goods.

有些人歡迎特朗普對所有外國商品徵收關稅的計劃。

In other words, a sales tax of up to 200% on anything made outside the United States, a tax that you, the consumer, would pay, which would cause all Americans to pay thousands more per year.

換句話說，對美國境外生產的任何產品徵收高達 200% 的銷售稅，由消費者自己支付，這將導致所有美國人每年多支付數千美元。

In one instance, an iPhone might cost as much as $4,000.

有一次，一部 iPhone 的價格可能高達 4000 美元。

And then, of course, other countries would retaliate by levying the same tariffs on US goods, which would kill US exports.

當然，其他國家也會採取報復行動，對美國商品徵收同樣的關稅，這將扼殺美國的出口。

But that's not necessarily illegal.

但這並不一定違法。

But those who think that Trump would be better for the economy fail to take into consideration the effect of Trump's lawlessness on this country and the economy.

但那些認為特朗普會對經濟更有利的人卻沒有考慮到特朗普的無法無天對這個國家和經濟的影響。

The only other economic plan that he talks about would be to deport tens of millions of immigrants, many of whom came to this country as children and lived as Americans for decades.

他談到的唯一其他經濟計劃是驅逐數千萬移民，其中許多人從小就來到這個國家，並作為美國人生活了幾十年。

This policy, while likely completely infeasible, would also be a disaster for the economy and do next to nothing for high prices.

這一政策雖然可能完全不可行，但對經濟來說也是一場災難，對高物價幾乎毫無作用。

But more importantly, Trump's destruction of the rule of law, free speech, and free elections would itself be terrible for the economy.

但更重要的是，特朗普對法治、言論自由和自由選舉的破壞本身就會對經濟造成可怕的影響。

Individuals and businesses rely on the notion that government will apply the law even-handedly, and they even require the freedom to be critical of the government without fear of government reprisal.

個人和企業依賴於政府會不偏不倚地適用法律的觀念，他們甚至要求有責備政府而不必擔心政府報復的自由。
