is just feeding red meat to his base. I really doubt the indictments of the three that Trump mentioned. He might release some manufactured evidence but I don’t see arrests happening.

He seems to figure if he can energize all of his base to vote that it'll be enough for him to get re-elected. He seems convinced that he still has a huge base.

He REALLY does want them locked up. Obama made fun of him at the dinner, and Hillary mocked him in the debates. This is the most petty person in the history of history. He wants them locked up and he knows his base will love it.

Why you would say that, but everything is different now with barr... very bad days ahead

Best case scenario is they don’t do anything about this but they start massive violence on election day making the election impossible so that they can invoke the 12th amendment. At which time we will have to get off our couches and defend our country.

I will speak for myself only, I will have to leave the comfort of my home to defend my country.

Bill Barr would be a real nut to go along with trump's nutty ideas. Sure he might try to put out some kind of " evidence", but he will not be arresting anyone. Especially, President Obama, HRC. That's a bridge too far, even for Barr.

He knows he's not going to win as things stand now. He's desperate to look for any dirty way to stay in power.

He is our Henry XIII. But without the power. If he had the power a lot of people would be without heads.

At some point--and maybe it's already happened--most of the Trump administration will start hoping for the end, so they can go back to their old lives and pretend this never happened.
