It is simply a fundamental breach of the rule of law to advocate jailing political opponents while running for office.

It is? I'm confused. I guess this was what Ari Fleischer meant also, the two Ari's, but I took Fleischer's to be criticism of what a "winning" candidate should not do strategically, not that it was illegal, although I was thinking, "Why did Fleischer immediately jump all over that," but now we have Ari II saying it's a "fundamental breach of the rule of law." I interpret that to mean...How to put this...When lawyers use "the rule of law" they mean the entire legal structure, a common turn of phrase is "a threat to the rule of law." Ari II's use of "fundamental," e.g. "foundational" would be a near synonym, is consistent with that interpretation of his use of "rule of law," but I'm confused by "breach." Breach is synonomous with "break," "break the law," which refers to one specific statute, not "the rule of law." 

Basically, I'm concerned that the two Ari's know more about the law than I do and I am an ignoramus.  That's basically my concern. In a nutshell. For I cannot think of any statute that Trump's threat violates, nor how it would threaten the rule of law.

That's all I know. Apparently not enough.
