There will be 'riots in the street' if Trump is prosecuted, Graham says
Washington Post/By Kim Bellware
Sen. Lindsey O. Graham said Sunday that there would be riots in the street if former president Donald Trump is prosecuted for taking classified government documents to his private Mar-a-Lago residence after leaving the White House.
Graham (R-S.C.) twice made a riots in the street remark during an appearance on Fox News Sunday Night in America as he launched into a broader commentary against what he perceived to be a two-tiered justice system tilted against the former president.
There is a double standard when it comes to Trump, Graham said, contrasting the FBIs search of Mar-a-Lago to the agencys probe of his political rivals, including Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, and President Bidens son Hunter. (Hunter Biden is under investigation for tax liabilities, though Graham and other Republicans regularly say the FBI should probe his overseas business dealings.)
And Ill say this: If there is a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information after the Clinton debacle there will be riots in the street, Graham said.

(47,095 posts)Graham keeps sticking his neck out for Trump, even when he has liability for doing so.
Trump is certainly capable of obtaining dirt on his friends and opponents.
And using it to help him.

(1,188 posts)Riots where?
Main street USA? Na...
Metropolitan? NA.
Violence onto Federal property or personnel? They probably would and done so before.
Trumpers will most likely flop their chicken wings like a fox in the hen house. The hen house being social media.
So, i seriously doubt anything come of this....
Main street USA is mostly Trumpers anyhow.
BLVDs are mostly sane 70 percent of US Population that is never-trump...
