Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, rallied around former President Donald Trump on Sunday, blasting his potential prosecution by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office as a politically motivated attack against a 2024 Democratic rival.
“It just feels like a politically charged prosecution here. And I, for my part, I just feel like it’s just not what the American people want to see,” Pence told ABC News’ “This Week” in an interview that aired Sunday.
“The fact that the Manhattan DA thinks that indicting President Trump is his top priority, I think … just tells you everything you need to know about the radical left in this country,” Pence, who has had a falling out with Trump, 76, after the Jan. 6, 2021, US Capitol riot, told host Jonathan Karl.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said the possible arrest of Trump over an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election is ”one of the worst uses of the justice system we have ever seen.”
”This kind of two-tier prosecution, this gotcha mentality with the criminal justice system is flat-out wrong,” he told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
”And, Maria, let me also say this. There have been in the past uses of the criminal justice system in America that have been wrong. It’s been about targeting. It’s been wrong. Two wrongs don’t make a right,” Donalds said, without elaborating.
“Just going after your political adversary in President Trump isn’t going to make you some pillar of virtue. It’s going to descend all of America into further chaos, not what we need — not what we need at all,” he said.

Soros put his boy Chubby Cheeks in the spotlight. Now what’s he going to do?
The Left does not care what it ‘looks’ like.
They want power. Everything and everyone else be damned.....................
Even a lot of Democrats think it’s a bad precedent to set.
I think people are missing the purpose. The rats want the optics. If they get the image of Trump in cuffs and/or a mug shot they will hang that on his neck like a bag of bricks
Do you tremble at the thought of rat optics? I don't and there is nothing showing that Trump trembles at the thought. He just blew their optics right out of the water.
That’s ALL this Alvin the Chumpmonk fiasco is about. Using President Trump as their photo op “ham sammich”. They don’t give a rat’s ass what happens once they get Trump to do the perp walk and they get their photos and at the same time, take the heat of the other Pedophile RAT’s azz sitting in the WHITE House.
One slight semantic observation: it’s not that DJT is targeted for prosecution. That would mean it had something to do with the law, which it doesn’t.
He is being targeted for PERSECUTION, which has nothing to do with anything but hatred.
Trying to get Jim Jordon off Biden’s criminality.
“If they get the image of Trump in cuffs and/or a mug shot they will hang that on his neck like a bag of bricks”
A bag of bricks or a badge of honor?
It’s like the old saw that FDR paid the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor. If I were Trump, I’d pay the DA to do a BS prosecution. Just what the doctor ordered.
2/4/2017 Freepers - Is There A Petition At WhiteHouse.Gov Calling For The Arrest Of George Soros?
WHO’S YOUR DADDY????
Do l tremble. No but I do understand the power of visuals. Ask Dukakis about that
Trump is not Dukakis. Trump supporters are not left wing idiots. We can't control what some lame visual does to the simple minded.
This is a much bigger issue than “Trump”. Every citizen that has had it with Leftist DA’s and AG’s using taxpayer resources to persecute political enemies should be up in arms about this.
