According to the Daily Mail, President trump has threatened 'death and destruction' if he is indited,

So my comment here is, if this intimidation results in charges being dropped, the message this sends is that you can be guilty or innocent, threaten retaliation and have charges dropped.

The US legal system, I assue is similar to the UK, innocent till proven guilty, therefore you appear before a judge & jury, they hear the prosecution and defense arguments, the judge sums up, jury deliberates, and tells the court their decision.

Even if he is charged he may be found innocent or guilty by the court,

if Trump is making these threats, he may find himself charged with inciting rioting or other behaviour, or being held accountable for any damage, injury or death caused, so he could end up in more trouble, then he is facing for paying hush money, If he is at some point indited for inciting the jan6 insurrection, his own rethoric showing here, could aid the prosecutions argument that trumps very nature is dangerous.

Does Trump not see he could be digging a hole, which he may not be able to get out of.?

@zleap he is just trying to kick the can down the road far enough so he can attempt another run at the White House or at least look like enough of a threat to DeSantis that he makes a deal to pardon him if he drops out of the running...

@Vonskinnback

Given what DeSantis is doing, he is not much better than Trump. Main difference is that Trump has a bigger mouth.
