Trump tells Glenn Beck he’d ‘lock up’ political opponents if reelected
The Hill ^ | 08/30/2023 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 08/30/2023 7:14:36 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump told conservative media personality Glenn Beck he would prosecute his political enemies if elected president again.

“You said in 2016, you know, ‘Lock her up,'” Beck reminded Trump of his statements about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 during an appearance on his BlazeTV show Tuesday. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do.'

“That’s what they’re doing,” Beck continued, asking the former president, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”

Trump, who dismissed the various charges he faces in Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., said there is “no choice.”

“Well, I’ll give you an example… The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us,” Trump said, adding that he “never hit Biden as hard as I could have.”

The swamp are terrified he will win, and with good reason. Trump was not a politician when he started his first presidency, so naive. Not so this time. Now he is an experienced politician, and businessman, and will waste no time in systematically eliminate all the swamp creatures who have exposed themselves this past 6 years, and will do it WHILE completing the border wall, expelling illegal immigrants, opening up our oil production, and restarting America. Even now the rats are abandoning the ship and doing whatever they have to saving their own skin.

He is announcing it to the people prior to the election so that it cannot be claimed that he did bait and switch. He wants to go into Washington with a mandate on this promise.

Didn’t he promise that last time?

I hope he learned that this isn’t a game to these people.
They set the precedent. No quarter.

The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us.

He’s right the democrat party is place now to change all the rules of law as they are now doing.
It isn’t far from being China in 1948 guess who and what party are pals with them for a reason.

President Trump is correct when he says, “no choice.”

Trump went to Wharton. He knows about “the prisoners dilemma.” He understands what he is proposing is not going to have a good eventual outcome.

They will feel good...until it swings back on them more brutally.

But, it sounds good for his base.

Yeah there has to be a veneer of legitimacy. To be clear, I am ABSOLUTELY for locking the whole gang up. That said, you’ve got to use messaging for the masses like “de-politicize the DOJ” or so forth to make it all sound legitimate. This stuff is red meat for the base but it’s going to spook everyone else.

I believe the “real” deep state consists much more “deeply” than the people an executive can fire.

They will protect their systems and networks, as they have for almost 200 years.

How did the orwellien deepstate become so powerful?

The answer is U.S.I.S.

Under Clinton the duties of federal applicant background checks was outsourced to a shell corporation known as United States Investigative Services. Prior to that the federal government processed the background checks of applicants under the oversight of OBM, office and budget management.

Eventually a whistleblower came forward to expose a scheme within usis to not only commit fraudulent fabricated background checks, but in the commission of doing so also defrauded taxpayers to the tune of nearly 7 billion dollars.

This led to nearly 700,000 improperly vetted federal applicants receiving security clearance checks to the nation’s most secure intelligence oversight positions.

The whistle blowers name is Blake Percival. However a web search will produce very little information regarding this because any mention on the internet has been nearly scrubbed.

So if there is any question regarding how the enemy secured such vital positions within our government, one look no further than U.S.I.S. which was successfully used to infiltrate and take over every branch, every level, and every agency of the U.S. government.

Here is a brief oversight:

They’re nowhere near this sophisticated. It’s really a bunch of GS-15 employees who’ve never done anything cool in their life and finally got a taste of power so it goes to their heads. Whether or not the Rockefellers or Rothschilds or insert controversial rich family had power throughout history, I’d say different argument for a different time, our case now is we’re run by a bunch of people who in a proper society would be DMV clerks.

If he had Prosecuted Hillary Clinton, the media would have made the pasting they have given him and the lies they have told about him to date seem like a walk in the park to what they would have done. Just defeating their godddess in an election was bad enough. Can you imagine what they would do if he made her answer for her crimes and murders?

My tagline. Trump had his chance, AND HE BLEW IT. Because he BLEW IT, he will not get another chance. And the thing that infuriates me is that he BLEW IT FOR US. We all suffer because of his failures. There will be no re-election. No chance to lock them up. NO peaceful way out of this.

Of course he’s going to lock them up. They are a bunch of traitorous criminals. There are no concerns. Trump is being charged with the crimes they have committed.

As so MANY of his political opponents NEED to be locked up
THANK YOU FOR THE WORDS DJT. We do understand your statement
there. They need the FEAR OF GOD poured into their soul (if one might even had a soul) We do understand YOU would lock them up using different methods than those being used at this time. YOU will FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION, ignoring the shouts of those who who want to see IMMEDIATE JUSTICE. Thank you, sir, for giving us HOPE our nation will once again be a JUST and FAIR country.

Locking up people because of their political beliefs is wrong, no matter who they are or who they’re locking up. However, locking people up for criminal conduct is correct and morally compelled, again regardless of who they are and who is turning the key. Hillary earned a stint in an orange jumpsuit for a lot of reasons, from the Russian uranium scam to criminal breaches of national security, not to mention obstruction of justice.
