Progressive activist calls for prosecution of Trump and his allies if Dems take majority in Congress
JusttheNews.com ^ | January 18, 2026

Posted on 01/18/2026 9:28:06 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

rogressive activist Jennifer Welch told former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta that mass prosecutions of President Trump and his closest allies would be needed if Democrats regain power.

"I believe, and this is just my opinion, that Trump and all of the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him, and Elon Musk ... I think they commit crimes every day, and I think to reconcile all of this is going to take hardcore, not integrity, Democrats," Welch said.

"We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We're going to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did, we will be relentless about it," Welch added.

Acosta suggested that the Democrats should expand the Supreme Court if they regain power to hold Trump accountable for his alleged crimes.

"They should say when they're back in there, if, you know, if you guys are going to cling to this idea that Donald Trump is unaccountable, it's just not going to work, and that means adding seats to the Supreme Court so that immunity decision can be overturned and so Donald Trump can be held accountable for his crime," he said.

Who is that moron and seriously who gives two craps about what she says..she looks like what a botched abortion looks like..but honestly who doesnt believe that if the commies get power back they wont throw EVERYONE in Trumps Administration in prison or kill them. That is why Trump has to pardon EVERYONE in his Administration, from top to bottom, every single last one of them

This cuts both ways. November is a long way off. Summer in the city comes first. Hot time.

I had never heard of Jennifer Welch until very recently. Suddenly she is on every podcast and leftist talk show. They are pretending she is a long-timed political analyst whose opinion is worth something. Where did she come from?

Here is the thing: this isn’t going to go away. The Rubicon has already been crossed.

Solution: Prime Time TV Address by POTUS with the following talking points:

1. There are two people groups living in the United States that cannot and will not live together because of their different approaches to logic and reason. Their hermeneutics are so vastly different, they can’t.

2. The fissures have become violent to the point where one side wants to crush the other.

3. There is no judicial remedy.

4. Civil War is the likely outcome, so it is up to the American people to resolve this. Not Congress, not the Executive, not SCOTUS.

5. All federal LEO and military will remain in garrulous until YOU figure this out and fix it.

"The Rubicon has already been crossed."

Exactly. The left is already shooting. When conservatives start shooting back, BECAUSE OF STILL ZERO ARRESTS, it's war. Arrests=a chance at peace. Arrests=good midterm results.

The rubicon has already been crossed. The fight has started.

Only arrests matter. Soros/Clinton etc. Top down.

We can start by arresting George Soros and seizing his assets.

Integrity is not a word I would ever associate with Democrats.

WE can't. All we can do is shoot the looters on our porch. We can't recover from that.

Trump CAN order his arrest. 5 years in, still ZERO ringleader arrests. Max pressure time. No arrests, no midterm vote.

Guy forgets this half of the representative republic takes our responsibilities seriously. We don't dye our hair purple, stick a nose ring in, run away from our student loans, and fuss about genders.

We are meticulously quiet and deliberate. Those over 55 are just about the most dangerous creatures on earth.

They won’t have control of the DOJ until 2029 at the earliest.(I don’t see them winning in 2028.)

There are not enough prisons to hold 40% of Americans. That is why I said there is not judicial remedy.

Two people groups that cannot coexist together: Civil War.

If they don’t want to talk it out, then they have to get it on. The bad blood has to be removed.
