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. …

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.

The best response to Angry Brandon is to laugh at him.

It won’t be hard.

How I know he isn’t legit, what the legit headline would say “Lindsey Graham predicts ‘riots in the streets’ if Trump is persecuted for classified docs”

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

It shows their desperation. They’re trying to shake loose a mental case or two.

The wheels are already coming off of their little Mar A Lago raid and they’d love a distraction from that. Even if they go all in and indict Trump, as some suspect, let Trump’s legal soldiers handle it for now.

If they go all in then it’s win-all or lose-all for them and they’re not holding the cards to win-all.

The documents were declassified by President Trump.

The media is full of it.

Obama won’t allow it to happen because he would be prosecuted next when Republicans gain power in November.

Lindsey WANTS us to riot in the streets, so he can tell LEOs “use your gun...shoot them!”

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

I'm keeping my head down, and emitting a cloud of "stay the eff away from me, illegitimate government tools" pheromones.

I'll interact - but I also understand where the Oglala Sioux went wrong after the Civil War...

No.

only way he gets prosecuted is if we eliminate the establishment leaders of the Republican Party.
Which so far, plenty O’ Freepers keep telling me we need to vote Mitch, Romney and the gang back in.
