The indictment against former President Donald Trump is "weak," but Democrats "want the circus" and the power to "rough" him up so he cannot run for the presidency in 2024, Ric Grenell told Newsmax on Thursday night.
"What people need to understand is that this case is going to fall apart, but Democrats don't care about that," Grenell, a former U.S. ambassador and acting national intelligence director during Trump's administration, told "Rob Schmitt Tonight." "Let's be very clear: The Democratic Party has indicted the opposition leader."
The exact charges Trump is facing have not yet been released, as the indictment remains sealed, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation centers around Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen and adult film star Stormy Daniels, who Cohen paid $130,000 in hush money over her claims of an alleged affair with Trump.
The money was transferred to her less than two weeks before the 2016 election, and after Trump won, he reimbursed Cohen. The former president has admitted to reimbursing Cohen but denied he had an affair with Daniels.
But Grenell said that as someone who spent 12 years at the State Department, he is "saddened" Trump has been indicted when the United States has condemned other countries that indicted their political opponents.
"And now the Democrats have done it," he said. "They've taken away the ability of the United States to condemn this and other countries when it really does happen."
Grenell also accused the media of "cheerleading" for an indictment and for standing by when cities declared themselves above the law when they declared themselves as "sanctuary" locations.
"Now, we're seeing the consequences of that," he said. "[Democrats] are willing to do anything because the media allows them to do it."

"We should unify as a party, and we should say we are not going to allow this to happen to the United States of America," he said. "I think for the people who maybe have been on the fence about Trump, maybe they don't like mean tweets or something, I think they have to understand that you have to stop asking Donald Trump to be a nice guy because nice guys are what the Democrats want – they want us Republicans to take this high road somehow, and they don't want a fighter," Grenell said,

I guess the powers that be are applying what has been done to other countries to here:
Since World War II, during a supposed golden age of peace, the United States has overthrown over two dozen governments and interfered in dozens of foreign elections.

You will know anyone on TV that is serious - if and when they take on Hunter, Joe, and brother James when speaking in this issue.
Biden has said - nobody Fuchs with a Biden.
Biden said of anyone Investigating his family - Good Luck in your Senior year.
The biggest part of this corrupt system is the Courts and Justice protect the DEM Corruption.
I wanna hear these people call Biden a criminal, then I’ll believe they’re serious.

Kind of the last straw in my mind.
Let the House investigations on Biden, his family, Obama and the Clintons begin. I want to see the investigations lay out the crimes. Then I want a DA to empower a grand jury and indict all of them. I want to see all of them perp walked in handcuffs and ankle chains before TV cameras after armed police raid where they live in the middle of the night.
Democrats, and especially members of the justice system need to see a spectacle that causes all in this country to say, “never again” shall we allow the courts to become so weaponized.

“..The Democratic Party has indicted the opposition leader.”...”
Following Zelensky and Putin’s lead. Both have removed the head of their opposition party. Zelensky ran his opponent out of the country and Putin had his opposition charged and jailed.
The US is becoming everything we say we aren’t!!

So far no other opposition politician in the USA has been indicted or arrested. However, there is a jail full of J-6 political supporters of Trump, held in prison for years now in violation of habeus corpus.
The entire judicial system, attorneys general, courts and the DOJ including its paramilitary secret police, have been activated against the Republican leaning political opposition, especially Trump.
The Biden administration is openly and heavily censoring social media. Congress is conducting “hearings” on it now.
The riots and disturbances in 2020-21 were financed by “democrat” organizations, Antifa and BLM, NGOs, Soros, etc.
In the early 1930’s in Europe, there were aggressive fanatic brown shirts implementing political economic extremist attacks on opposition political leaders, independent businesses and institutions, with corresponding judiciary prosecution of political opposition, information control, book burning....
And so history starts to rhyme if not repeat itself.

American-style democracy is now toast. Despots the world over can laugh in our faces since we now arrest political opponents just like they do.

‘What people need to understand is that this case is going to fall apart“
If such a case can even be brought Trump can be convicted. It’s the same thing. To say that law and or reason will prevail is nonsensical in that the case itself from the beginning is a corrupt fix. He will be convicted. There will be other charges. His tormentothave no fear of the law or us. It’s already over.

If they do this to Trump, they can do it to anybody. Keep fighting these dictators, regardless of what happens to Trump.

“The Democratic Party has indicted the opposition leader”
Right after they stole the election from him in plain view and then proceeded to prosecute anyone who protested.
When do Jordan and McCarthy impeach Biden, refer his son for criminal prosecution, haul in Mike Podhorzer and Soros to break up the entire criminal gang called the Democrat party?

I know you are angry, I’m angry, we are all angry. However, in the past 24 hours I am more filled with resolve than ever before.
Every whiteboard is cleared, every distraction is removed, everything is now singularly focused on this corrupt and manipulative war that is going to take place in the battlefield of presidential politics with Donald John Trump at the center of it. I have prayed more in the past several weeks than in my entire lifetime and now we reach the phase where we lift our heads, get off our knees and confront this corrupt, conniving system.
I will share more later. In the interim, what former Acting Director of National Intelligence, Ric Grenell, describes in this video {direct rumble link here} is 100% what should happen. However, I doubt the corrupt professional political class behind the schemes and manipulations would agree to it. Grenell explains that every GOPe candidate should withdraw from the 2024 race, and immediately position their battlements in full alignment with President Trump. WATCH:
*****
“That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.”
“This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
Cold anger is displaced with the sense of resolute and purposeful rage…
Delicate sensibilities now dispatched like a feather in a hurricane…
This is a zero-sum conflict now!

Take notice of the video next to Grenell……THAT is who is deciding our children and grandchildren’s future and I am not referring to just Bragg. This is a farce.

So far no other opposition politician in the USA has been indicted or arrested. You might want to check with Steve Bandon, Paul Manafort and other on that.

No. I think the willing and the able-bodied should start forming up locally and nationally with a view toward making sure our law and constitution are followed. But that’s just me. Nobody else seems to feel this way. Except maybe hopeful FBI agents.
