On Tuesday, MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes said on his show “All In” that the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump laid out the “greatest political crime” since states seceded during the Civil War.
Hayes said, “With Donald Trump, lots of things are unprecedented. The first time he was indicted was unprecedented, and the second time was indicted was unprecedented, because of the federal indictment had never come down. This is in the canon of American events, January 6 and its aftermath. The reason is that for 159 years after the cannons fire at Fort Sumter, there is an unbroken chain of transfer of power. Not only that, the core story of the American experiment is its fight within itself to be true to the radical promise of democracy. That is why Lincoln says at the battlefield at Gettysburg that the question before the nation is whether a nation of, by, and for the people can long endure. It’s a test whether the thing can last.”
He continued, “That is in a category of itself in American history, the Civil War and the death and misery. But this is the greatest political crime since secession. And the gravest test, that Lincoln called on the battlefield in Gettysburg of whether a nation of, by, and for the people, that we are our own masters, whether that can long endure. So I feel profoundly gratified by reading this document because it calls into question in a way that has not quite been called yet.”
Hayes concluded, “If the law is not for this, what is it for?”

If Trump is acquitted even on appeal, it mrans the Democrats and Biden are Nazi’s.
Who writes that nonsensical crap?
Yet this is the same network that claims that Joe Biden was talking to Russians on the phone about the WEATHER
I didn’t think States seceding was a crime.
Neat trick, claim your opposition is an unprecedented threat so all the norms, rules, and laws you break to stop him are totally necessary.
Republicans are stupid enough to think that after Trump is taken out they will not be the next “unprecedented” threat because they are part of the club. History tells us the Stalinists do not suffer the Trotskyites once they are no longer needed.
lol
Secession was not a crime.
This guy is confused.
There’s a tree limb that missing its Chris Hayes.
Hayes is 100% right! Trump’s indictment is one of the greatest political crimes of all times! When the party in power uses the justice system, that they control, to frivolously remove an opponent from the political scene, that is absolutely unprecedented and seditious! I am assuming that is what Mr Hayes is writing about?
I assume that you are talking about the crap Chris Hayes is spewing forth, is that a correct assumption?
It wasn’t, and it still isn’t.
11/22/63.
Yes, the dems and rinos are indeed committing unprecedented crimes in the USA. They should all be charged with treason and sentenced accordingly since there’s no question about their guilt.
Only a FOOL would watch MSNBC.
Trump Indictment Is ‘Greatest Political Crime’ Since Civil War Secession
Fixed.
Yes. I know the networks have thousands of content influencers/ producers, following scripted content from the government ranks. Propaganda mills.
The Twink Hayes and his homosexual lover Willie Geist, getting all excited about a Trump hit job.
No doubt will soon meet up at a public bathhouse (ala Lee Malvo and John Muhammad) to celebrate the Trump indictment. /spit
There is no crime— and the President was the President when he expressed the public opinions in a speech that did not incite anything except 1st Amendment rights for free speech, assembly and... protest. What’s more the President was IMMUNE while President for this “claim”.. and cannot be tried ex post facto anymore than he could be impeached ex post facto.
This clown Jack Smith should be aware that he is violating all kinds of law— exceeding authority, and is liable for imprisonment himself. One nutso a@@clown.
Looks exactly like the Nazi “People’s” Court judge Roland Freisler who fortunately was killed by Allied bombs dropped on Berlin and then Ministry of Justice.
Roland Freisler= Jack Smith... and Merrick Garland is a psychopath under the control of very dangerous people- who need to be outed and removed from office.
This a@@ clown is not saying unprecedented he’s saying the precedence of the “crimes” is the Secession of the Confederate States. Which is, of course ridiculous, as the country today is not divided by regions.. it is divided by Constitutionalists and...everyone else from somewhere else who do not understand the Laws of the United States under the US Constitution. That is the division.
Media has the hutzpah to think THEY are the judges and jurys of the “laws” they make up on the spot.
