Former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D) said Tuesday during ABC’s coverage of the January 6 House Select Committee hearing that although it was politically devastating to Donald Trump, it also showed a Trump indictment would be “very tough” to get legally.
Anchor David Muir said, “What did you make of what you heard today?”
Heitkamp said, “I think it’s devastating to the former president. And these events, we’re covering them a lot like a trial, but they really are a political event. I think the president, the former president, sees his popularity waning, and it’s no small amount of publicity that he’s getting here in terms of his unwillingness to see a rational argument when it’s presented to them. So I think that’s politically, and that’s the way I look at these hearings. I think this has been devastating to the former president. Whether it’s going to have an effect on the midterms, I think, remaining to be seen. But as people still stand fast with the former president, I think that there’s going to be a need, eventually, for the party and for people like Kevin McCarthy to start distancing themselves. These are devastating revelations about the president’s behavior. I think Liz Cheney tried to get at that point that this is not someone who was duped. This is somebody who was leading the charge for an insurrection.”
She added, “It’s going to be up to the Justice Department. I agree with Dan. I think everything as a former prosecutor myself, everything that I’ve heard, I think it would be a very tough indictment to get, but I also think it would be tough, I think it would be very, very difficult, knowing what we know right now to see an indictment of this president.”

In other words, This is a witch hunt not a trial, and no evidence of wrongdoing after all the hubbub dies down.
Sure, Tuesday’s testimony was “devastating”.
Just take Heitkamp’s word for it, since you’re not tuning in.
Especially when he didn’t do anything illegal.
She was voted out in 2018 based on her actual record of being just another far leftist.
So ridiculous, there has been nothing but clips taken out of context, second and third had gossip, and an overall clown show. Indictment? Ha!
Will there be a presidency to run for in 2024? We are only about 1/3 into Dementia Joe’s term. The trend line is not good.
You spelled inquisition wrong.
Essentially, she stands on both sides of the fence. She supports the idea that “this is devastating” to Trump, and an indictment would be hard to get legally because this is just a political event.
It’s always hard to get an indictment without a CRIME!
....Gonna need more kangaroos.....................
She added, “It’s going to be up to the Justice Department. I agree with Dan. I think everything as a former prosecutor myself, everything that I’ve heard, I think it would be a very tough indictment to get, but I also think it would be tough, I think it would be very, very difficult, knowing what we know right now to see an indictment of this president.”
More word salad. Good grief demon-crats let your yes be yes, your no be no.
WOW! Such brilliance on display. Although, some people we are acquainted with are sure he’ll be in cuffs pretty soon. They are absolutely convinced. They say: “Haven’t you been watching the hearings?”. Uh, no. Busy reloading some lung popping’ 9mms. 😂✌
It is amazing that people still want Kevin McCarthy as leader with how little he has protested this.
Key word: "legally". But when did that stop Democrats?
I see no effect on Trump supporters with this “Soviet Show Trial”, except perhaps stronger support for Trump.
That’s certainly the case with me.
I really meant to, but I had to stick needles in my eyeballs.
What people want him?
