Former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D) said Tuesday during ABC’s coverage of the January 6 House Select Committee hearing that although it was politically devastating to Donald Trump, it also showed a Trump indictment would be “very tough” to get legally.
Anchor David Muir said, “What did you make of what you heard today?”
Heitkamp said, “I think it’s devastating to the former president. And these events, we’re covering them a lot like a trial, but they really are a political event. I think the president, the former president, sees his popularity waning, and it’s no small amount of publicity that he’s getting here in terms of his unwillingness to see a rational argument when it’s presented to them. So I think that’s politically, and that’s the way I look at these hearings. I think this has been devastating to the former president. Whether it’s going to have an effect on the midterms, I think, remaining to be seen. But as people still stand fast with the former president, I think that there’s going to be a need, eventually, for the party and for people like Kevin McCarthy to start distancing themselves. These are devastating revelations about the president’s behavior. I think Liz Cheney tried to get at that point that this is not someone who was duped. This is somebody who was leading the charge for an insurrection.”
She added, “It’s going to be up to the Justice Department. I agree with Dan. I think everything as a former prosecutor myself, everything that I’ve heard, I think it would be a very tough indictment to get, but I also think it would be tough, I think it would be very, very difficult, knowing what we know right now to see an indictment of this president.”

Mark Levin, Trump,
It should be, for all who want to save America. 🙂
The fact that they send these old farts out to get people to believe that there is no indictment coming is the proof this was all a kabuki theater operation.
Trump didn’t commit any crime. There was no insurrection on January 6th. It was all a set up by democrat FBI operatives to distract from the fact that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election with the help of RATs and RINOs to usher in the WEF Liberal World Order.
Thing is, people aren’t watching this one sided Kabuki theater shitshow to destroy Trump. And few care about congresscritters being scared.
This was about convicting Trump in the Court of Public Opinion.
It’s not working.
They better hope Trump never actually calls for a violent insurrection because if he actually did it would look nothing like January 6th which was really nothing.
Maybe they mean his room mate honey Frank Lumptz.
Had ‘roids removed with a potato peeler. Otherwise I would have tuned in. 😨😲
I don’t think they have the ability o hurt Trump in this way. They keep trying this same thing over and over to no avail.
I think Rush Limbaugh was right when he said “only Trump could hurt Trump”. Rush was wise when he said that.
Reminds me of the Nazis “Peoples Court” with Judge Freisler.
January 6 Hearings = Russia Russia Russia
Look noting up our sleeve
Yesterday bombshell. Trump was going to tweet for the protesters to march to the Capitol. Reality- he told them to in person, at his speech. 😂
You’re right. We have no real idea what 2024 will look like but at this rate, it will be a chaotic disaster. I hope I’m wrong.
It is unlikely to get better with these people in charge. COVID insured that we were headed for a disaster no matter what. Trump would lead us through this mess a lot better. Now, it’s a matter of what comes out on the other side.
The bombshell part was he had planned to leave the ‘peacefully and patriotically’ part out of his tweet.
Or so I heard. Something to that effect.
It’s easy to get the verdict you want when the only story is the prosecutor’s side.
That’s right. These evil ones are doing everything on purpose to take down the United States.
Donald Trump would never have allowed it to get this far out of hand. For instance, the Supply Chain would have been straightened out in short order, there would have been no war in Ukraine, etc, etc.
The list is long on what DJT would have prevented from happening and solved.
“I think Rush Limbaugh was right when he said “only Trump could hurt Trump”. Rush was wise when he said that”.
I remember Rush saying that. Yes, he was very wise.
People inside the political bubble don’t have a clue that regular people are ignoring this committee. They think the country is consumed with stopping Trump. But most of the country just wants a government and economy that works for them, and not against them. If Trump is the one that can make it happen, they will gladly choose him again. Regardless of what happened in Washington on Jan. 6.
The only people that have changed their minds are leftists...they hate Trump even more than they did already. For everyone else, they’re either not paying any attention to it or it galvanizes their support for Trump.
What the left doesn’t understand...it makes them look like the pathetic losers that they are. There are STILL people that believe “we’ve almost got him now!”. To them I just say “RUSSIA!! RUSSIA!! RUSSIA!!”. These folks don’t understand the bubble in which they live, they actually believe all this garbage.
of course- indicting President Trump is the worse thing they can do. His defense will blow the lid off everything
