Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) urged former President Trump and his supporters not to interfere with the legal process as it plays out in Georgia following Monday night’s indictment.

“As a nation built on the rule of law, we urge Mr. Trump, his supporters, and his critics to allow the legal process to proceed without outside interference,” the top Democrats in Congress wrote in a joint statement issued late Monday.

Their request comes after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) announced the fourth indictment against Trump since April. The 19 co-defendants face charges related to a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

Opposition research wil be next…

“...if Trump goes down, there’ll never be another Republican in the WH again.”

^^THIS^^

“The legal process.”

That would be the same “legal process” they used in the Soviet Union…

[Brian Griffin]

“The governor and most of the legislature are GOPe, so don’t expect any help from there.”

I’m not in the market for excuses.

If Amendment I rights are not protected we know what would be next on the leftist agenda.

As black folks say “You don’t want to go there.”

[bert]

there is no law

The destruction of the current illegal process is what the war is all about.

NO...every Republicans should denounce Fulton County is illegimimate, Fani Willis as an afrimative action Soros puppet, and demand the charges be dropped. Trump should even consider refusing to show up to be charged at all.

Fanni is going to try all 19 defendants at the same time in the same trial. You can’t make this stuff up. 😆

[Walrus]

BOHICA.

Next up: Criminalization of defending yourself in court, Constitution be damned. Go ahead and laugh, but its coming soon.

As a nation built on the rule of law

BWAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha ...

A nation in which a traitor like Hillary Clinton walks free is not a nation built on the rule of law.

[NorthMountain]

The judiciary was irreparably harmed a long time ago.

[LibertarianLiz]

They’re going to do the same thing to DeSantis if he’s the GOP nominee.

Thank you. This has occurred to me numerous times recently. How can they not know that nominating someone else (Trump without the "baggage") will result in the attackers using the same tactics on that person. They are attacking the MAGA philosophy AND the people who support it.

Yes, we are defending Donald Trump because he supports us; but, we are also defending ourselves.

Trump is not being PROSCECUTED; he is being PERSECUTED.

[Revel]

LOL

Like when Schumer threatened members of the supreme court on their front lawn. An act that was specifically illegal. And he completely got away with it.

[McGavin999]

Still they don’t care as long as they “Get Trump”. Destroy the country, doesn’t matter to them, democrat OR republican

[kiryandil]

Eff your "legal process", Scheckie Choosmore.

Top Democrats urge Trump, supporters not to interfere with legal process

Yes, and I’m sure back in bad old days KKK members (Democrats, of course) urged their lynching victim and bystanders not to fight back, either.

Injustice must be fought, not just to save the present victim, but all of us future ones as well.

[livius]

Trump and “supporters” are only requesting a legal process.

There’s nothing legal about this prosecution, it’s simply banana republic political persecution.

Fortunately, I think they’re overreaching and even a lot of people who don’t like Trump are saying, “Wait, what?”

[tina07]

The rule of law, eh Chuckie? What a joke.

[lastchance]

What legal process? I think Unicorns took it.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Yeah, ok chuckie. Right.
