Veiled threats to the DOJ
I have to believe the threats are coming straight from Donald Trump. He began his day yesterday by making a statement that the FBI should "revolt".
Then the pattern took form. Perhaps it was just the Republican "talking point" of the day? In any event, Karl Rove was saying that a prosecution of Trump would "tear the country apart".
Then the usual suspects, like Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham, were saying that there would be "riots" in the streets if there was an indictment or an arrest of Donald Trump.
There is such a thing as free speech, but it sounded real close to obstruction to my untrained ear.
If the talking point indeed did come from the former president, it shows the degree of desperation in his camp. The evidence is stacked against him. All he has left is to try and delay and to play his games with our justice system, which he is very good at doing.
Cooler heads need to reassure the people that violence and "riots" are not acceptable forms of protest and that the laws should be applied equally and fairly without regard to Party or position. If folks break the law, they will be held accountable.
It does little good when Republican Senators begin talking about "riots" if a certain former president is found to have broken the laws of our country and put our nation at risk. I suspect they got their marching orders from their "boss" and Leader?
