QOTD: Arresting Your Political Enemies

 

Former Federal prosecutor Elie Honig remarking on the Malignant Loser's promise to arrest and prosecute his political opponents if elected in 2024:

"If he says he's going to do this, I believe him. If we look back at the first Trump administration, Trump would often call for the prosecution of his political enemies, whether it was James Comey, Andy McCabe, the prosecution of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton....

[Former Trump Attorney General Bill] Barr had a line he would not cross. He wasn't going to go out and indict Barack Obama or Andy McCabe. What Donald Trump is telling us, I'm going to pick different types of people the next time around, people who don't even have that line, and that to me is really really dangerous."  (our emphasis)

The danger is real and horrifying. The Malignant Loser would turn America into his police state.
