While a number of Donald Trump’s Capitol Hill allies have been quick to defend the former president and criticize the indictment, one moderate Republican told CNN he trusted the legal system.
“I believe in the rule of law," said Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. "I think we have checks and balances and I trust the system.”
Bacon said it was important to let the process play out.
“We have a judge. We have jurors. There is appeals. So I think in the end, justice will be done. If he’s guilty it will show up. But if not, I think that will be shown too,” Bacon told CNN.
Bacon stressed that his statements were not about whether he supported a Trump indictment or not, but about protecting the legal system.
“It’s not that I support or not support it. I just think our system works and I’m not going to question it. I don’t like the attacks on the overall legal system,” he said.

Don Bacon is a moron.
Congress has the power to declare Martial Law. I think they should. As Popeye says, “that’s all I can stand, I can’t stand no more!”
“Moderate Republican” == “RINO” == “Traitor”
People said the same thing about Mike Nifong who, for political purposes alone, had three Duke lacrosse team members arrested when there was NEVER any evidence they'd committed a crime.
Trump's indictment is the same thing writ large.
Deep State’s lackeys are outting themselves.
Fine by me.
Unfortunately the alternative plan has been gutted by years of marxist tampering.
We cannot fix this with the constitution because the enemy thinks its a useless piece of paper.
The failsafes have been removed.
“I think our system works”
LOL
I hope you get the help that you need
There is no evidence of these checks and balances so far.
Quisling.
I have been pounding this drum for several years.
Exactly. And those Republicans here who don’t see through their never Trump glasses are also part of the problem. Uncharted waters and guess who they come after next!
So some anonymous RINO.
Totally credible. LOL!
It’s shocking someone this naïve or stupid can be in power. Maybe he’s corrupt which would make sense.
Does he bother to read the news into what’s happening?
Trust the system? What?
YOU can trust it if you want. I don’t think the “system” has shown itself to be TRUSTWORTHY.
Politics in Washington DC is now at about the same level as a “professional” tag team wrestling match with one side the “good guys”,
naively playing by the rules, and the other side the dirty, scheming, rule breaking bad guys.
In Washington one political party professes to believe in the system and vows to play by the rules while the other political party laughs
at them and runs amok with their ill gotten power.
Left and right do not trust the system. That is why it is going to collapse.
In NYC, there’s no way Trump escapes a conviction. Change of venue to another county is needed.
Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska is now Rep. Don Toast of Nebraska.
Can we please elect some fighters?
