It's not jury tampering when the ex-President does it!

Snip
The message from Brian Jack, Trump’s former political director at the White House, is the latest sign that Republicans considering an impeachment conviction will do so knowing that Trump may come after them in upcoming primaries if they vote to convict him for “incitement of insurrection.”

Jack did not mention impeachment in his calls. But he wanted the word to get around that Trump is still a Republican — and for many, still the leader of his party.

“The president wanted me to know, as well as a handful of others, that the president is a Republican, he is not starting a third party and that anything he would do politically in the future would be as a Republican,” recounted Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.). “The Republican Party is still overwhelmingly supportive of this president.”

1. Typical Trump

Threatens them if they go against him, also causes chaos. He just said he'd form a 3rd party, now he's saying he's a Republican.

Mixed messages and threats, nothing's changed.

3. Nice political party you got there.

It would be too bad if something were to happen to it.

4. "...anything he would do politically in the future would be as a Republican..."

Sure. Riiight.

Jury tampering as a Repugnant.

Threatening to start a new political party as a Repugnant.

Denying reality as a Repugnant.

Inciting a mob to attempt a violent coup as a Repugnant.

"...the president is a Republican." LOL

5. Blackmailing the jury. Typical.

6. If they believe him

they are all dumber than a box of rocks! The one thing you can be sure of with trump, he wants his revenge, and he blames the "WHOLE" party for not backing him in his attempt to destroy our democracy. He will never forgive them, and he will find ways to get even, sooner or later.

7. Classic mob boss behavior.

Going after witnesses. Trump has the same Queens NY values that John Gotti used so effectively.

8. It would be so WONDERFUL if every single republican senator voted to convict, and then

voted to never let him run for office again.

I guarantee you, the republican party would recover more quickly if they did this. Maybe 2 or 3 election cycles, and they'd be back in the game.

So...maybe they should just let this party go on, and let this mess continue for another 10 years or so.
