If Trump is arrested

submitted by rubberbiscuit from (self.AskSaidIt)

I was a big Trump supporter in 2016 - and 2020. I think he won and was cheated. However I really did NOT like that he abandoned the Jan 6 prisoners right away. I recognized that whole thing was a set up and scam from the get-go. Now, Trump may be the one to get wrongly arrested. In a way, I hate it. It's so obviously another hit piece on him. But in another way I kind of think its payback for not doing jack-squat to help those wrongly imprisoned before. I'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong, interested in what others think.

I think it goes beyond this case and Trump. To me, this is clearly targeted prosecution of a political opponent. If Trump weren't running for re-election, this wouldn't be happening. The Republicans opened the door by impeaching Clinton on a technicality, but the Democrats have busted the door down since Obama was in the White House. Where will this lead? Can we be at the beginning of a banana republic where you arrest your political opponents and look the other way if it's your guy?

Of course, the DA could drop the charges and use it as a way to tell Republicans to drop any investigations into Biden's "business" dealings with China and Ukraine.

I was never a big Trump supporter. I was hopeful in 2016 he would actually do what he said he would especially regarding healthcare and "draining the swamp." He didn't, and I didn't support his 2020 bid.

As for Jan 6th, Trump is a son-of-a-bitch for not just blanket pardoning those protesters before he left office. And now Trump is calling for people to protest again! Who the hell would be so foolish as to put their neck out there for a guy like that twice.

Suck it, Trump, enjoy the green bologna sandwiches in jail.

He did what he could, but the RINO party hampered his first two years and then the midterms took away his nominal majority

The Republican party doesn't have control over Trump's pardons. That reminds me of the other thing I don't like about him. He takes credit for any successes he can while blaming others for his failures. He's the stereotypical awful boss.
