WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Takes A Stand Following Trump Indictment, Takes Action To Uncover Potential Corruption

Thirty-seven-year-old entrepreneur-turned-barnstorming Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, fresh off a respectable showing at both The Blaze & FAMiLY Leadership Summit and the Turning Point Action conference in Florida, made a lengthy and bold statement after news broke that the DOJ is targeting 45th President Donald Trump for a third indictment.

In a statement accompanying a video posted to Twitter, Ramaswamy wrote, 
 

"The left calls Jan 6 a threat to “our democracy.” But the ultimate threat is when politically unaccountable actors literally *remove* democratically elected officials from office. That's why the pending Jan 6 indictment of Trump is arguably the most dangerous of all to our Constitutional Republic."

He continued, "I believe the federal administrative police state is preparing to invoke the "insurrection" clause from Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump from running, in a way that past indictments technically would not."

He cited the example of a New Mexico case that saw a January 6th participant removed from his office as a County Commissioner. 

"This isn't theoretical: in New Mexico, County Commissioner Cuoy Griffin was removed from office after his election for merely being physically *present* on the Capitol grounds on Jan 6, even though he was peaceful and did not even enter the building. That sets a dangerous precedent for states like New Mexico to try and keep Trump off the ballot, and a prosecution by Jack Smith would only strengthen their argument for doing so."

Trump said in a statement posted to his Truth Social account that, "Merrick Garland, who I turned down for the United States Supreme Court (in retrospect, based on his corrupt and unethical actions, a very wise decision!), together with Joe Biden's Department of Injustice, have effectively issued a third indictment and Arrest of Joe Biden's NUMBER ONE POLITICAL OPPONENT, who is largely dominating him in the race for the Presidency."

"Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before, or even close," the presidential hopeful said.

Ramaswamy seemed to agree with that assessment concluding:

"It is un-American for the ruling party to use police power to arrest its chief political rivals. We need to know what Biden told Garland & what Garland told Jack Smith. We should know whose invisible hand is guiding these indictments, which is why I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) demand to uncover *exactly* what the White House communicated to Garland & Smith to target Biden's disfavored opponent in this election. We will get to the bottom of it, including by suing in federal court if necessary."

He promised to address the situation further at an upcoming speaking engagement at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire on Thursday.
