Lindsey Graham predicts 'riots in the streets' if Trump is prosecuted for classified docs
The Week ^ | August 29, 2022 | Brigid Kennedy

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday night claimed there would be “riots in the streets” should former President Donald Trump be prosecuted for improperly handling classified documents, a saga which culminated in the recent FBI raid on his Florida mansion.

The South Carolina Republican also detailed his belief that there’s a “double standard” in federal enforcement “when it comes to Trump.”

“Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It’s all about getting him,” Graham told Fox News Host Trey Gowdy during an appearance on Sunday Night in America. Graham also cited claims the FBI buried any investigation of Hunter Biden, before alleging there’d be “riots in the streets” if Trump were to be prosecuted for the classified docs incident. Trump later shared a clip of the interview on his Truth Social platform.

Asked on Monday how the White House would respond to the interview, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Graham’s remarks “dangerous” and noted that this was the kind of activity President Biden had been referring to with his recent “semi-fascism” rhetoric. …

If they steal the election again, all bets could be off. Right now they are pushing buttons hoping something happens.

Unlike the 2020 riots in the streets, the Trump protestors will be hunted like rabid animals.

Pfft. Soyboys don't scare me. They wouldn't know which end of the gun to point at us.

Like that Idaho ‘event’ from six weeks ago where the supremists were arrested. If you notice from that group of thirty...one single guy was from Alabama. Since that day, you haven’t really seen that one particular guy, and some suggest he was a FBI-plant.

I went to The Swamp in 1998 for The March For Justice.

I'll never go to that third-world Mitthole again.

As things have unfolded we now see that those protesters on January 6 are in fact American heroes.

We should name schools and streets after them.

We should name schools and streets after tourists who dared to take selfies in the Capitol? It's not like they stopped Biden from being inaugurated or anything with those brave selfies. I assume you're not suggesting we name things after the Antifa rabble who attacked the Capitol police.

Anything that puts Trump on the front page is a win for the Democrats.
It gets their base riled up and distracts from the economy, border, and crime.

Linda is an idiot. This is a set up. Relax and hold your fire. If they are pushing it’s an ambush. IMO

There is nothing to these redactions.

If they do not tell "We the People" then "We the People" will assume that there is nothing to these redactions.

He had Trump's endorsement in 2020, just like the Turtle.

And then they both turned on him.

They're now safe until 2026. If Trump does make it back to the WH, it's a safe bet that he will not endorse the Turtle, but who knows with Grahamnesty?

Watched the local morning news here just now and a spot was shown about how Trump had endangered national security by storing away classified documents at Mar-a-Lago (a charge by the DOJ). It was stated as proven fact.

I don’t think any of that will fly.

Biden doing a prime time Thursday speech to calm the nation. Must be going to finally arrest the bad orange man.
