“This is an actual incitement”: Legal experts alarmed after Trump pushes “citizen’s arrest”

  1. It really does seem to cross that threshold, which is why he hasn’t been jailed yet. I’m certain something will come of this one (that is, the Court will address this comment, somehow) . This is more flagrant than anything I’ve seen come out from him.

  2. With this and scuffles in the Senate and the House, things are escalating rapidly.

  3. A lot of nerve coming from a citizen who’s been arrested

  4. >”I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LITITIA JAMES AND JUDGE ENGORON PLACED UNDER CITIZENS ARREST FOR BLATANT ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND HARASSMENT.”

    Somebody’s about to lose their phone privileges. I wish they’d send him to the cooler for contempt a weekend just to see if that would shut him up.

  5. And yet, he continues to walk free while any one of us would have been waiting for our trials in a jail cell long ago

  6. At this point Trump is simply mocking these judges. He knows none of them have the intestinal fortitude to throw him in jail for his behavior.

    We have a two-tiered system. The rich and powerful get to behave like Trump and a black young man is shot ringing the wrong door bell.

  7. He doesn’t seem to suffer any consequences for any of these actions that you or I would be jailed for in an instant, doubt he’ll stop anytime soon.

  8. People have had their bail revoked for the crime of “being black”. The fact that this dude can openly and publicly THREATEN JUDGES and walk home free is fucking disgusting.

  9. Trump does not exist in a vacuum. He’s not some random internet warrior on Reddit. This man is an ex president, the front runner of the GOP candidates, and he literally incited an insurrection against our Capitol and congress. People have been covicted in a U.S. court of law of seditious conspiracy, at his behest. When Trump says something like this, it has to be viewed as a direct threat.

  10. So toss the chubby traitor in a cell and be done with it.

  11. Isn’t this guy under indictment ? And under several gag orders ? How is he still walking around freely inciting violence ?

  12. Just gotta wait till someone gets killed and then the DOJ will finally think about, thinking about, putting him in jail . where any other person who isnt wealthy and powerful would already be.

  13. He’s doing it. He’s not dog whistling he’s just telling his brainwashed masses to arrest them. He’s doing EXACTLY what his niece said he would do. He’s trying to drag the Country down with him and in doing so wrestle back control. It’s his only hope now that he’s seen what his former lawyer has to say.

  14. Incitement to commit a crime.
    Again.
    Imagine how that will go down with the Judge who is the target of the incitement.
    Mr. Trump will keep pushing until someone pushes back. That’s the bully’s way. It is time for the Judge to push back.

  15. I’m tired.

    Tired of seeing all these “Biden fires at Trump/MAGA/GOP” and tired of NOT seeing actual progress to put Trump behind bars. There are daily releases, it seems, of news articles quoting “EX-Trump official” or “Ex law expert weighs in” – but never anything of any substance.

    Trump is continuing to power through and garner his psycho followers’ support. It’s so defeating knowing that the justice system is so broken that someone like Trump is still a viable candidate and hasn’t been disqualified from running. Absolute madness.

    Tired of hearing about Trump when it’s not productive news against him.

  16. Put down the sandwich, pick up your gavel and throw this turdpeanut behind bars with no phone until further notice.

  17. He’s this freaked out about a civil trial… imagine how he’ll behave once the criminal ones start?

  18. And his team leaked testimony from other defendants from a case so they could intimidate her and other witnesses. This fucker has to go to jail, NOW.

  19. How much more blatant sedition does one person need to do before it’s jail time? The average citizen you get far less leeway.

  20. Trump is acting this way because he’s hoping to be held in contempt, although I don’t believe he knows what he’s in for if it happens. It’s all part of the sick game he plays with his supporters. The best thing that Engoron could do at this point is to give Trump what he wants and throw him in jail for incitement. The media needs to ignore it beyond the most basic of facts. No endless opining. Just let him fester in a cell without his phone and erase him from the public conscience.

  21. Yes. He is saying this. Yes. He is also saying that he wants to set up “camps” to confine millions of people, run by the military, so he can do it unilaterally (without approval from Congress). At the same time, he is also saying that, yes, in fact, he does want his followers to take action based on his “fiery language.”

    Why is this man still allowed to walk free? Why is he not in Guantanamo? That’s where we put other terrorists that threaten and attack the USA.

  22. He’ll keep going until he starts a real civil war or until someone stops him. He’s a psycho.

  23. The judge has already ruled he committed fraud so Trump is desperate for anything that could be grounds for a mistrial. He’s trying to get Engoron to lose his cool. So far, it hasn’t worked.

  24. It has been clear for some time now that people will die before he’s held responsible for incitement. All of these judges, prosecutors, clerks and justice department officials are being made to live under this danger.

    Clearly there’s no rhetorical act Trump can commit that will land him in custody, because that threshold has been crossed over and over again without consequence.

    I feel like we’re just waiting for something awful to happen.

  25. The walls are closing in on him and he is trying to whip up his followers into J6 2.0. He knows he is about to get railed by the US justice system and he is relying on his standby tactic of last resort: violence.

    Lock him up.

  26. ***Take*** ***His Ass*** ***Into Custody!!***
    ******NOW******

  27. I’m tired of hearing about all this outrage about his actions and words, without the follow up anyone else would receive. Give him some goddamn actual legal consequences so the rest of us can believe that justice still exists in America.

  28. Lmao this country is a joke of 2 tiered justice. Greed really is the end of the human race and such a waste of progressive potential. All these traitors will continue to wreck our country and no justice will be brought.

  29. Nothing is going to happen to him until someone is killed. Why the fuck are they allowing these threats to continue?

  30. When they lock him up for this BS maybe he will off himself like Epstein did? Wouldn’t that be something! 😉🤣

  31. Trump has the intelligence level of a high school freshman or sophomore. His brain seemed to have stopped functioning at an adult level.

    It’s really bizarre that almost half of the voting population in the US wants to vote for the guy.

    It’s so obvious that his rhetoric is dangerous.

  32. No other defendant could ever get away with threatening a judge like that. This is insane.

  33. Imagine the level of brainwashing, willful ignorance, and mental gymnastics it takes to hear him at this point and want him as the president. He’s a traitor, he’s dangerous, and a despicable human being.

  34. America is a fucking joke for not putting this menace to society in prison where he belongs
