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.”

“ Hate to hear this without context makes a good sound bite for a Dem campaign commercial. DJT should be wiser.
In a fair and just world…”
That is such a good idea. Trump should speak so that no one can take him out of context and propagandize what he says
Oy frikin vey
To quote a good friend of mine, “IMHO, a special firing squad for traitors should be used at GITMO. Fill all of the empty
cells with Biden’s administration.”
As long as Trump’s DOJ finds actual crimes and abides by the Constitution and laws I have no problem with Trump’s political opponents being prosecuted, found guilty and jailed.
There are a couple of pesky problems in all that. One is called statute of limitations. The other is there are plenty of Republicans that are corrupt. They need to be prosecuted too. I can handle that, but I know plenty of RINO’s heads will explode. Trump’s adversaries exist in great numbers in the Republican Party too.
If, for some reason, they can't be fired, demote to the lowest possible rung and post to the remotest place possible.
Yes, I guess the Dems want this.
Trump would have been labeled a tyrant had he done to Hillary what she lawfully deserved..
Now, the precedent is set..
Jezebel Hillary deserves the dirtiest dirt nap in US history..
She can be buried with things like the Steele Dossier stapled to her Mao suit
“You lock them up for one reason and one reason only: they broke the law. Hillary not only broke the law she did it multifariously and egregiously.”
Hillary’s crimes have cost many lives and she has blood all over her filthy paws. As does Obama and Biden. The only “real” justice handed out that would be required for these cretins and their crimes is something I seriously doubt that anyone on the right, including Trump, has the stomach for. Nice dream, though.
In the good ole days... we used to handle high treason with executions. No muss, no fuss, bye bye and enjoy your stay in hell. The fact that we have morphed into a “soft on crime” society explains why we are in the mess we’re in right now. Our “”justice system”” has been fundamentally transformed by the radical left into a “just us” on the right being held accountable for crimes...while the left gets away with everything.
“If, for some reason, they can’t be fired, demote to the lowest possible rung and post to the remotest place possible.”
I believe it’s called “reassignment” (to Siberia?).
Play the El Deguello Don.
If they committed actual crimes punishable by prison, then yes. After a fair trial.

It’s the prosecution that would not be likely to get a fair trial. A DC jury will convict only Republicans.
A thought, considering the source...

It was something like clean the swamp. Can’t do it with Caspar Milquetoasts.
To do this he will need an attorney general with balls of steel and no skeletons in his closet. Which seems to be hard to find.
And he will need to fire almost the entirety of DOJ and FBI DC offices. Just replace them entirely.
Then he still has a rogue CIA to deal with.
The is a difference when said political opponents have actually committed CRIMES!
The Democrats brought this on themselves.
An eye for an eye.
I’m 100% against political persecution but we MUST clean house of this communist infestation.
Lock’em up ...they showed their hands as enemies within.
Lying, cheating, false propaganda, misleading the public, persecution of good people, prosecutorial misconduct, deliberately ruining the economy, systematic perversion of youth and morality in general, etc are all crimes in my book.
Maybe they could get shipped off to Guam where they could worry that it might "tip over and capsize".
“Maybe they could get shipped off to Guam where they could worry that it might “tip over and capsize”.”
Nah. Guam is too good for them. I’d pick somewhere in the Antarctic, where they will never have to worry about “global warming” again.
Trump, will have legitimate chargers to arrest them...
unlike the witch-hunt against him
