Trump threatens DOJ against indictments: 'You'd have problems the likes of which you have ever seen

[MissMillie]

Source: Raw Story via MSN

On Thursday, in an interview with right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump appeared to issue a vague threat to the Justice Department against indicting him.

Trump said that "I would have no prohibition against running," when he asked whether he would still run for office with an indictment.

"I think, if it happened, you'd have problems in this country the likes of which, perhaps, you have ever seen before," said Trump. "I don't think the people of the United States would stand for it."

And even bigger problems if there aren't indictments.

It's the job of the Justice Department to rid this country of criminals such as this bloated gasbag.

[C_U_L8R]

1. That is clearly a threat

And the DOJ should not hold back in its investigation and prosecution of this pariah.

[underpants]

4. Yep. He's prepping to incite riots

No doubt.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Exactly. Using the same mob boss coded language like Michael Cohen said 2 or more years ago. nt

[KS Toronado]

45. I believe he was hinting at civil war

Bannon has always promoted that idea

[onetexan]

86. Yep i read that as a threat

[2naSalit]

67. Again.

[agingdem]

73. And threatening Garland...

if Garland indicts then Trump incites…as if Garland and his team aren’t ready for another Trump-induced riot…

Donnie’s protective wall of enablers, sycophants, and acolytes is crumbling…they’ve been “round up” and served..Donnie’s’ go-to guys are more concerned with saving their own asses than his…

[Novara]

64. The moron is adding felonies.

Prosecutors don't take threats. At all. Threatening a prosecutor is a 20-year felony.

Keep it up, impotent fat boy. You'll be in prison for the rest of your miserable life.

18 U.S. Code § 1503 - Influencing or injuring officer or juror generally
U.S. Code

(a)Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or officer in or of any court of the United States, or officer who may be serving at any examination or other proceeding before any United States magistrate judge or other committing magistrate, in the discharge of his duty, or injures any such grand or petit juror in his person or property on account of any verdict or indictment assented to by him, or on account of his being or having been such juror, or injures any such officer, magistrate judge, or other committing magistrate in his person or property on account of the performance of his official duties, or corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b). If the offense under this section occurs in connection with a trial of a criminal case, and the act in violation of this section involves the threat of physical force or physical force, the maximum term of imprisonment which may be imposed for the offense shall be the higher of that otherwise provided by law or the maximum term that could have been imposed for any offense charged in such case.

[Captain Zero]

115. That's a reason to hold him without bond

Isn't it?

He needs to shut his yap.
Or he'll get himself detained incommunicado at gitmo. I'd say.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. Wrong, Dumpy. The people in the US WOULD stand for it. And applaud while standing. FU asshole

[sop]

3. Let's indict him and see if he's right.

[padah513]

5. +1

[slumcamper]

42. Yep, time to call this "bloated gasbag's" bluff.

[calimary]

51. Call his bluff.

Do it RIGHT NOW.

[louslobbs]

55. +1

👍🏻

[msfiddlestix]

94. Needs to be more than indictment in my view, he needs to be arrested, charged and convicted

indictments are meaningless if they're not followed with immediate arrest and prosecution.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. He still thinks he has a popular, majority uprising at his command.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

80. You might think that a lot of these groups would think twice?

After seeing so many get arrested/indicted too. They may be low IQ but you may have lost the higher IQs

[Thomas Hurt]

81. We still have to worry about a small number of them that would lose it...

I am fairly certain there are plenty of them out that might blow up a building.

Donny thinks he has an army, all he has are a small number of terrorists.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

88. Agree. And it sounds like FG is truly getting desperate enough

not to care one iota about anyone who might get hurt. Of course he never has carried about human life. Like Covid victims or Capitol Police. He is more than just a thief he's an armed/killer thief.

[niyad]

85. He never has had a popular majority at his command.

[onecaliberal]

7. It will be a party in the street, the likes of which has never been seen.

[SheltieLover]

34. Absolutely!

[wryter2000]

43. I'm sure

Some big guy with tears in his eyes will walk up to Garland on the street and say, "Sir, I bless you for locking that asshole up."

[sarcasmo]

8. Threats like this have worked for Trump his whole life.

[dalton99a]

9. Book him, Danno

[randr]

10. The harder they come the harder they fall

One and all

[oldsoftie]

11. But if he's STILL President, as I've been told, he cannot run again.

Can't run for a 3rd term dipshits

[getagrip_already]

16. not be pedantic but..

The constitution limits potus to 10 years in office, and he can run as long as he could finish his term (can't run again if you have served 7 years).

That means if biden were to leave office next march, harris could serve out his remaining term and run twice more. But if joe leaves now, then harris could only run one more time.

So it isnt the number of terms, it's the years in office.

[GB_RN]

35. Here's The Exact Wording Of The 22nd Amendment:

“Section 1

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.”

Section 2 just says that it wouldn’t be enforceable until ratified.

I only posted this since the amendment was brought up.

[ET Awful]

40. That's incorrect.

A person can NOT be elected to the office more than twice, nor can they run more than once if they assumed the office for more than two years from someone else (resignation, death, impeachment, etc.):

Twenty-Second Amendment
Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.


The 22nd Amendment does not say "10 years" anywhere. It specifically lists the number of terms for which someone can run and limits it if they took over the office from someone else.

[oldsoftie]

101. Ahh but you don't understand the depths of their stupidity.

They say Biden has NEVER been president; that trump has continued to be CiC; & the military is actually running the govt for HIM.

[The Magistrate]

12. When A Man Threatens Riots If He's Charged As A Criminal, Ma'am

He needs to be in irons before the sun sets....

[SheltieLover]

36. I couldn't agree more!

Lock him up!

[Captain Zero]

116. Incommunicado so he can't issue more threats

To the peace.

[msfiddlestix]

96. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

[Ford_Prefect]

13. Threats made to federal agents and their agencies are criminal acts and may be prosecuted.

[purr-rat beauty]

14. This sounds like a clear case of...

Obstruction of Justice

This ass needs to be held accountable with no apologies

[Frasier Balzov]

15. Salem Broadcasting needs to lose its many licenses.

This happened on terrestrial radio. Truly the public's radio spectrum being used for an unwholesome purpose.

[PSPS]

26. The FCC has been neutered. The last time I remember a license being yanked was 50 years ago.

[Traildogbob]

17. I sure hopes

He gets sent to a room with bars, and a medal toilet “the likes of which he has never seem”. And a cell mate of color with not much care for hygiene.

[Wicked Blue]

53. And the metal toilet is not gold

[Traildogbob]

77. Cold rusty tin.

[EndlessWire]

18. Is that all he's got?

As if he can control the DOJ anymore. He must smell something coming.

[Bayard]

19. Will this guy ever learn to shut up?

Every time he opens his mouth, he sinks himself deeper. I'm sick of the media hanging on his every utterance. He thrives on remaining relevant, and in the news.

Don't threaten us, Pond Scum. Seventy percent of the country think you and your lemmings are idiots.

[allegorical oracle]

21. He's not afraid of indictments-- he had two of those while he was Prez; the Senate let him off,

so he needs to be indicted AND convicted, for a change. The guy is like a roach...one or two swats just don't work as well as dropping a brick on it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

62. He's got no GOP lackeys in a criminal court proceeding.

And he knows it. There's no escaping a guilty verdict. He can delay but his delays are futile. There will be nothing more important for the DOJ than resolving this conspiracy. He's finished, even though he is still dominating the news cycle. All it means for now is that there will be more cameras on him when he goes for an arraignment and his bond is posted. But there will likely be conditions under which he will be allowed to remain out of jail: keep your mouth shut and do nothing that is close to a law violation, or you will be incarcerated without bond until your trial has concluded.

[Aviation Pro]

22. Fuck you, motherfucker

Blow it out your wide ass, Bloated Tick.

Chunky motherfucker better watch his motherfucking mouth.

[radicalleft]

23. Will this dumbfuck ever stop using

"the likes of which" for whatever he thinks is some earth-shattering event...???

Other than this dufus, the only place I can remember hearing this phrase was from the movis Dune:

Quotes. Paul : Stilgar, do we have wormsign? Stilgar : Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.

[Fritz Walter]

54. And he still can't get it right!

The correct usage would be "You'd have problems the likes of which you have never seen before."


Unless of course he's referring to any/all of the problems that occurred during his so-called watch. Indeed, we did see a ton of problems that had never arisen before. And they continue to surface well past the end of his term.

[liberalla]

66. Thank you! That just bugs the h--- out of me!

It's NEVER! NEVER!

The likes of which you have never seen!

[dlk]

24. Always the problem child...

25. will somebody please lock this loudmouthed lying criminal up once and for all?

He needs to be put out of our misery!

[SheltieLover]

38. This!👆

[hadEnuf]

27. Make your move MAGATs.

It won't be a bunch of deliberately thin lines of cops with no National Guard back up facing you this time.

You want to play? Lets play.

[Scrivener7]

60. Wouldn't it be nice, though, if the DOJ would make it's move?

[hadEnuf]

70. Yes and I hope they will soon.

Then we'll see what the MAGATs do or do not do. But if they do want to pull some violent crap, I hope and assume that we are ready to knock them down. HARD.

I think we are all sick and tired of being threatened and terrorized by this has-been Orange Psycho and his Fascist minions. It's way, way past time to get tough with them

[Captain Zero]

117. Arrest and jail him December 17

I'll take it as my free Christmas present and the Magats will all be Xmas shopping.

[Scrivener7]

118. Sure. Or in 24 business hours.

[PSPS]

28. "right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt" - NPR's Scott Simon calls Hewitt his "good friend."

Now you know why Simon always carries water for the GOP on his Saturday "Weekend Edition" show on NPR.

29. The doj should do their jobs.

If his cult rise up they will be put down.

[LymphocyteLover]

30. I'm so sick of his dumb tired lame rhetoric... just lock the traitor up already

[Ponietz]

57. The rhetoric reminds me of something King Lear said:

That all the world shall—
I will do such things—
What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be.
The terrors of the earth!”

Two mad old fools running amok.

[LymphocyteLover]

100. LOL-- that's great! Thanks for the chuckle!

[AllaN01Bear]

31. when is somone going to have the curage to have this dunkoff arrested ,,

LOCK. HIM. UP.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. "The people of the United States"

I wish Trump and his lackeys quit spewing this crap as if all of the US supports this hustling scumbag. Lock this treasonous bastard up!

[Joinfortmill]

39. He needs to be charged. He thinks he's 'cute' with the language he uses and can't be charged.

He won't stop. He has to be stopped.

[wryter2000]

41. I'm sure they're soooo scared

His idiot horde has seen J6 rioters get prison sentences, and the one bozo who went after the FBI post-search of MAL got killed dead. I doubt the rest of them are up for more of a fight.

[Rabrrrrrr]

44. What a total asshole douchebag. I'm so fucking tired of his shit.

It was bad enough having to see his name or hear his shit voice when he was just a loser, failed "businessman" but now that he's a loser, failed ex-president, it's all the goddammed time. Fuck him. Go away, narcissistic fuck! Rot in jail already.

So tired of the arrogance. And even more tired of the braindead useless fucks who hear shit like this and think it makes sense and that it shows Trump is a leader. It's like a bunch of second graders and one keeps saying "I can hit a baseball to the moon!" blah blah blah blah fuck you fuck you fuck you go to hell.

What the hell can he possibly do make "problems the likes of which you have never seen" to the DOJ?

[Justice matters.]

52. It's a direct incitement to his armed Qultists "brownshirts" to commit violent crimes.

There MUST be a Law "prohibiting" just that!!

It's TERRORISM plain and simple!

[Hekate]

46. Always with the threats, you orange thug

[usonian]

47. He already incited a deadly riot. And got away with it.

He will continue to do whatever he gets away with.

[catbyte]

48. Benedict Donald's such a child. I'll bet he's used the same bully taunts since grade school.

"...the likes of which you've never seen..."

[SouthernDem4ever]

110. Don't you love political correctness for crooks

it's the new journalism.

[GB_RN]

49. You Know Dolt45 Is Scared When He Starts Yapping...

And making threats. The fact he’s trying…(not so) subtly…to make (not so) veiled threats? He must need his diapers changed pretty damned frequently.😂

[aka-chmeee]

50. A perfectly accurate assessment of the United States' experience

with Agent Orange through his entire journey through our politics... up to and including the present.

[Sky Jewels]

56. ...

[Scrivener7]

58. When he pulls this shit, it ALWAYS means he has NOTHING. He's trying to gin up the Q

people because there is NO ONE ELSE LEFT. No one's going to storm anything for him again. They'll go to rallies dressed as used-car-lot air-wavers, they'll make trouble at the Thanksgiving table, but only the crazy Q people will do anything. And they will, and they will be easily put down.

But please, let's have learned this at least from watching him all these years: the more violent his rhetoric, the emptier it is and the more he knows it.

[slumcamper]

59. A corpulent narcissist overcome by delusions of self-grandeur issuing such exhortations?

= BLOATED GASBAG.

This hot air will constitute evidence for his insanity defense. Watch for it.

[MacKasey]

61. the likes of which, perhaps, you have ever seen before,"

That is one of his favorite sayings

And you know he is full of it, when he says it

[hurple]

63. No doubt there will be MAGAts hitting the streets to cause teouble....

But, they will be vastly overwhelmed by the people hitting the streets to celebrate, and stand up against them.

These igits seriously think they are a majority in this country. Someone even estimated the MAGAts as 80% of the population in a speech recently!

Sure, there are likely still millions of them. But, there are more millions of people who will not put up with them. They WILL get beaten down.

They are insane and delusional.

Time for their wake-up call.

[moonshinegnomie]

65. take the following steos

1) arrest him
2) set a very high bail considering his claimed resources. make one of teh terms of his bail no incitement
3) if after hes released on bail he makes ANY threatening actions/social media posts revoke his bail and lock his ass up. that will remove his ability to incite anything else and he will only have himself to blame

[marieo1]

68. Disgusting piece of humanity

I don't understand why this jerk (DJT) is allowed any say in anything...........he should be in prison.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

69. I cannot say anything as to my wishes for this POS.

They would get my old ass in deep poo so I'll just shake my head and fume.

[NoMoreRepugs]

71. Pretty simple really - it's going to come down to Us vs Them.

[Ligyron]

72. Summoning your army to the cause last time didn't work out that well, did it?

It's only going to get worse.

By golly, there were some pretty dangerous people there too, some armed, some with explosives even... and only a thin defence protecting the Capital since you and your lackies made sure any other LEO's and the National Guard were kept off the field.

That won't be the case next time.

A good number of those really dangerous ones are in jail now and so will be of no help.

Hundreds of the others have been arrested with more to follow and most probably wish they'd never listened to you. Many who actually broke into our Capital thought there were so many of them, pfft... the authorities would never figure it out. Or you'd pardon them.

Surprize!

A good number of your other cult members across the country saw what happens when you fuck with the United States and have no desire to suffer their fate.

Some people seem to think you're bulletproof, that you'll always get away with shit because you're supposedly rich or something. Yeah okay ... you got away with screwing over local contractors and people who did work for you and some unconsenting females got screwed literally but you stepped into a whole new league when you became President.

Your crimes are on the Federal level now and more than a few against The United States of America and the whole world is watching.

Your luck has officially run out Donnie.

[slumcamper]

74. Like a blowfly who has spawned an infestation of maggots

'Tho the fly may be removed, the maggots remain to devour the fruit.

Which brings to mind, I once swatted a wolf spider which had entered my college apartment via a bad seal at the front door's corner. When hit, countless baby spiders scurried in all directions. Horrific!

Magats remind me of these little spiders.

Magats feed upon a smorgasbord of hate and lies at TFG rallies. Then, fully glutted with evil thoughts and prejudices, they scurry like vermin back to their neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities, carrying the insidious seeds of democracy's demise. They spew their venom, feed on fox, RW radio and social media, and multiply. The diseases of racism, homophobia, ableism, xenophobia, misogyny, and white, christo-fascist nationalism spread.

We have a terrible infestation, and our democracy is rotting from within. We know this.

[The Jungle 1]

75. These maggot trump supporters should keep in mind.

The police are not going to kiss your ass this time. They will be well staffed and they will shoot you.
You will not beat them with American flags again.

[Fullduplexxx]

76. "I don't think the people of the United States would stand for it." as a person of the united states

78. FUCK YOU, donald.

Trying to stir shit up again?

Did I say "FUCK YOU, donald"?

Let me say it again in case you missed it the first time, and with emphasis.

FUCK YOU, donald.

[Warpy]

79. Hey, Donnie, your army of willing morons has dwindled

as they've been arrested, tried, convicted, fined, and sent to jail, sometimes all of those. The rest realize you didn't lift a finger for any of them and likely you never will, even those promised pardons will come too late for most of them. Plus, your track record of keeping your promises is not good.

Nope, Chubby, you really stepped in doodoo right up to your wattled neck when you stole top secret documents and wouldn't give them back for whatever absurd reasons your diseased little mind came up with. That not only took the shine off your TV stardom and ability to draw a crowd, it caked the whole business with shit, mud, and dried blood. Now you're just a circus freak show.

Nobody's afraid to put you into prison for that one. In fact, even a few of your former fan base are eager to see it.

[kacekwl]

82. Exactly what a guilty criminal would say.

I don't care do you ?

[bluestarone]

83. F this bastard and his cult

Get the fire hoses ready! Then if that's not enough, DO WHATEVER you have to do to get this world RID OF THESE CRAZIES!! Sick and tired of all of them!!

[AverageOldGuy]

89. NEWSFLASH from DOJ:

Upon learning of Trump's threat, AG Merrick Garland fell out in the floor of his office, laughing his ass off!!!!! When he caught his breath, AG Garland reportedly ran to the window, threw it open, and shouted: "BIRNG IT ON, MUTHAHFUKAH!!! BRING IT ON!!!"

[newdayneeded]

114. Or he's shaking in his boots

worried about an army of overweight slobs in the streets with MAGA hats on.

The case has been rock solid for weeks now, barely a peep out of the DOJ. In my opinion, they ran the risk assessment of a possible civil uprising and decided to not pursue this.

Hell, even this is a serious offense that would land you or I in jail.

[grantcart]

90. Yes like seeing a former President moving to Abu Dhabi

[Firestorm49]

91. Bring it on, fat man. You bullshit is well known.

[lark]

92. Yep, that is 100% a threat and yet another call to violence.

AG needs to indict him sooner rather than later!! He is an imminent danger to this country.

[Permanut]

93. Another dog whistle..

like "stand down and stand by".

He still thinks he will become dictator.

[CitizenZero]

99. The FBI And National Guard

I would love to see the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and Right Wing Militias respond to Trump so that they can be put down and arressted by the FBI and the National Guard. If Trump wants a war, his raggedy Right Wing militants will get their heads handed to them by the legitimate authorities. Trump is playing with fire and trying to stir up a second insurrection. Frankly I just wish he would have a heart attack and spare our country this treason and sedition. He is playing a dangerous game.

[Skittles]

102. BRING IT ON

SO SICK OF THE THREATS FROM THAT FUCKING TRAITOR

[Brainfodder]

103. People who threaten, both desperate and guilty, and dost protest too much, long sailed?

So many charges until arrested, it really is a sick joke: his freedumb!

[SouthernDem4ever]

104. Does Orange Julius really think his moron militas will win a war for him?

He's more deluded than I thought.

[TigressDem]

105. AND dickwad can legally run for pRez even if he goes to jail???? Only 3rd clause of 14th Amendment..

can keep him from running for office. He HAS to be found guilty of insurrection AND betraying the US with this confidential document handling.


https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/3595839-can-trump-be-disqualified-from-running-for-president/

[Marcuse]

106. Problems.

[wsulik]

107. "I don't think the people of the United States would stand for it."

Hell, I'd give a standing ovation for it!

[jmowreader]

108. Here's Trump's problem

Five percent of Americans want Trump back in office so badly they're willing to take up arms to put him there.

20 percent want him back through the ballot box.

25 percent just don't care who's president.

25 percent don't want Trump within 500 miles of Washington, DC. They don't like the worthless fuck, but as long as he'll never be president again they're okay with that.

And 25 percent want him either imprisoned for the rest of his life, put before a firing squad, hanged, beheaded, drowned, burned at the stake, placed in an iron maiden, drawn and quartered, stoned to death for saying Jehovah, staked out for the rats, or...well, you know, an even harsher punishment than that.

So...yes, the people of the United States WOULD stand for putting his limp dick in jail.

[duforsure]

109. His pattern is he threatens like this right before something big happens to him,

More search warrants, indictments, freezing of accounts, major announcements exposing his criminal acts and others? He's acted out before like this when others are closing in on him . He gets extremely desperate , and uses suggested threats towards others. DOJ closing in fast on him soon?

[2live is 2fly]

111. Almost five years ago when tfg said, "I have the best supporters. I can shoot someone in the head on

fifth avenue and not lose any supporters." That translates to= The best people in the country are those who think I'm above the law. WHO-TF, I mean what kind of a person thinks that is a good thing (a quality)? TFG IS MENTALLY DEFECTIVE!

[jcgoldie]

112. "...you have ever seen before"

That doesn't even make sense.
