President Trump hinted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer could face consequences for his controversial remarks on two conservative Supreme Court justices....
"I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions," the New York Democrat said.
Cryin’ Chuck Schumer said, “You will pay the price for this. You won’t know what HIT YOU.” That is far beyond simple rhetoric. That is a physical threat, or at least a threat that you better vote for us.” Trouble ahead!

Trying to decide which scenario would be best...
#1 Kick in his doors waking him from his slumber with news cameras capturing his arrest.
#2 Arresting him mid-sentence on the floor of congress while all his colleagues are present for the complete meltdown of the democrats caught on camera.
Epstein probably had some juicy blackmail on Chuckles..
The President is merely going around the Monica Media, making the American public aware of the issue.
Nobody could possibly believe there would be consequences for this.
Can’t do #2....................
Media will just say it’s only rhetoric, nothing there to get excited over; Trump just using it as an excuse.
Threatening a judge is a felony....so would he still have immunity?
“The Senators and Representatives...shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same....”

Wake me when trouble actually gets here.
Nope. He was on the SCOTUS steps.
My question was on his arrest...can he be arrested if Congress is in session?
” during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same....””
None of that applies in this case. He was on the USSC grounds when he made his threats.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer MUST face consequences
I believe so. He is free to say all kinds of stupid and inflammatory crap while in the well but I don’t believe he has sanctuary from crimes.
Of course, I could be wrong.
In the very least he should be disbarred if he still holds a law license.
The “Monica Media” thing is very good!
Although I imagine that law would protect him from being arrested now when he is either at the Senate or else on his way to and from home. Unless his offense is considered a felony.
I wish they had arrested him when he was giving his speech on the USSC grounds. They could have walked right up and grabbed him there.
Chuckie Jones you better watch your screed...
Barr/Wray will investigate for a year or then turn it over to the IG for another year or two report.
“...None of that will happen of course. He has a “D” after his name. Only Republicans get their homes invaded in the middle of the night by FBI SWAT teams packing machine guns, and have their 70 year old wife frog marched out the door in their night gowns in the shivering cold like happened to Roger Stone.
What the heck is Chris Wray still doing as head of the FBI anyways?....”
Exactly. Imagine any of one of us speaking those exact same words, in the exact same location, but only directed towards Lil’ Ruthie, the Wise Latina, or even Benedict Roberts during Pro Life rally. We’d be thrown in the slammer so fast, it would make your head swim. We’d lose whatever financial security we had and be bankrupted. Our family & friends would all be red-flagged, etc. We can’t even stand on a public sidewalk near an abortion clinic and pray. Yet, these DS actors and assclowns like Chuckie just walk free. Not a single one , NOT ONE of em, has been arrested. Comey, Clapper, Brennen, Jarrett, etc....the list is long. Not a single one of em has been arrested. Yet, POTUS supporters are raided in the middle of the night and treated like armed drug lords. Dear President Trump, I’m a financial supporter, pray for you and your administration daily, will absolutely vote for you again, but please....don’t humor us with such “trouble ahead” words for any of these communist DS scoundrels with a “D” after their names. We know, and you know, nothing will ever be done to any of these evil POSs.
