I have started reporting on these types of threats, veiled or otherwise, by trumpers.

Correction, it is the House Oversight CMTE. Once again replaying on CNN. This is urgent and calling for immediate response from Social Media.

They say watch and report any violence/threats. They were talking about the FBI then. However we all know, DOJ and others are being targeted as well.

Considering they have already gone after Trump. Of course they are going after the idiot.

She's joining in on Trump's stochastic terrorism. How special.

Back when the first batch of boxes were removed from Mar A Lago several months ago, she signed a statement as the Slobfather's lawyer attesting to the fact that all classified documents had now been returned. And now this veiled threat. Is this not a breach of legal ethics?

What with all their cries to defund the FBI and threats of violence should a private citizen be brought into court to answer criminal charges, it's hard to see how they respect our nation's laws and its Constitution.

Christina Bobb is identifying herself as a potential defendant if there's widespread violence after Trump gets indicted; and he will be indicted.

And, the violence will break the back of the Trump stranglehold on the Republican Party. The overwhelming majority of Americans are not willing to leap off the cliff with Trump's hardcore base. They're not willing to risk their families to the "coming revolution". They don't want to see a multi-year civil war, with 100.000's of dead and wounded, and a already fragile economy going deep into the tank.

Most Americans want stability, and a chance to live a life free from fear and uncertainty. They may not like everything about the current situation in America, but the alternative is far too chaotic, and uncertain.
The future looks dark, indeed, but if we go full civil war, today's darkness will look like noon on a sunny day.
