Legal expert: Trump’s Pennsylvania speech could ‘put him in some legal jeopardy‘ – but there’s a bigger problem
MSN ^ | 09/05/2022 | Sky Palma

As Donald Trump continues to ramp up his inflammatory rhetoric against the FBI, some think it amounts to incitement. But according to former CIA intelligence officer David Preiss, Trump can only be held legally accountable if someone is directly influenced by his words. "The bigger threat, of course, is just the overall political environment at a time when the former president should be explaining how it's possible there was all this classified information documents inside his residence," Preiss said during a segment on CNN this Monday. "Instead of explaining that, he's going on the offensive and taking on people. Like, he calls the radical left leadership of the FBI, forgetting that he appointed the [FBI Director] himself -- that's a losing argument for him politically except with a very small base." "It does put him in some legal jeopardy, but I think the bigger fear at this point is simply that he's not bothering to defend himself from some very serious charges." The Justice Department has said in court filings that highly classified government documents, including some marked "Top Secret," were discovered in Trump's personal office during the raid.

Are these the same “experts” who claimed the judge wouldn’t appoint a special master?

I don’t necessarily think Trump should be defending himself yet. He got the special master appointed. Let’s wait and see what’s left.

But there is a concern someone could act against the FBI and blame Trump, either because they acted to legitimately frame Trump or because after acting out, they are giving in to pressure and using Trump as a defense.

has anybody heard Bidens angry man speech? Talking about using F15s against US citizens. He sounds like he wants another civil war. His rhetoric is worse than Trumps.

Is this the same group of geniuses that are still polishing their awards for pushing the Russia collusion hoax, the perfect phone call hoax, and the PeePee Tapes?

Oh no, another “legal expert” and intel goonbrain is running his smarmy mouth in the media. Trump.danger must be real.. this time.

I really wish Trump would actually “incite” action against our corrupted intel gangs.

They need a good smashing. Some need a good hanging.

Same could be said about Biden's hellscape speech in Philidelphia.

The derps ALWAYS telegraph their next move. These people are stupid and they think we are too.

EVERYTHING this article claims against Trump isn’t just a lie but an idiotic unsupportable and damned lie.

That would be the dumbest thing he could do.

Trump needs to tell everyone to chill, watch the Dems antics and VOTE in November. It's only two months.

The Biden regime and the Democrat party need more than anything else an excuse to declare all opposition terrorists and possibly cancel the elections. Any violence on the part of Trump supporters will do it. It must not happen.

How many times have leftists accused the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. of gross crimes against humanity?

How many of these folks ended up in jail?
