Former Sec. of Def. Hagel On Trump: "He's a Dead Man"..... A Not Idle Threat?

[Skraxx]

I think someone like Chuck Hagel would choose his words very carefully under the circumstances.

I would also think that there might still be quite a number of "old school" patriots around who might, in fact, be quite pissed off at a real, serious, attempted coup that aimed to assassinate high level government officials, and might have the means, ability and desire to deal "permanently" with the issue.

I think Trump should be listening carefully to what former Sec. of Defense Chuck Hagel is saying. He is NOT one to speak lightly about such matters, or glibly. In fact, he's typically very measured with his words and comments. Trump may have more to worry about than prosecution at this point.

3. Radical people on both sides. Hmmm... Generals seem to think in those terms. Don't they!

4. Trump is the Most Radical Threat to the Constitution Since the Civil War

The military is sworn to defend the constitution against all threats, foreign and domestic. Most Military leadership take that oath seriously.

5. Putin target? Iran target?

6. Putin is a possibility

As soon as Trump becomes a liability rather than an asset, he’s likely to find himself drinking a radioactive Diet Coke.

Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, a frequent vehement Trump critic, told Raw Story in an exclusive interview that he thinks that politically, Trump is a "dead man" — regardless of the outcome of the Senate impeachment trial slated to start next month.

That's because Trump's biggest problem, bigger even than being the first president ever to be impeached twice, is that he may still face legal consequences at the state level for what Hagel described as his various shady business entanglements.

"I'm not worried about Mr. Trump coming back on the scene politically. He's a dead man," Hagel said, speaking days before the inauguration of President Joe Biden. "He can say what he wants: 'I'm going to run again in 2024.' I doubt that's going to happen, because he's got some immense personal problems that he's going to face."
