Trump hints at “big problems” if he’s indicted [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Former President Trump said that there could be “big problems” if he is indicted over his handling of classified documents.
- Trump insisted his comments were “not inciting” violence but he’s just stating his opinion.
- The former president added it would not deter him from a possible 2024 presidential run.
Former President Trump on Thursday said he “can’t imagine being indicted” over his handling of classified documents or a scheme to put forward alternate electors after the 2020 election, but that if he were, it would not deter him from a possible White House run in 2024.
“I can’t imagine being indicted. I’ve done nothing wrong,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it,” Trump added. “And as you know, if a thing like that happened, I would have no prohibition against running. You know that.”
Trump in the interview claimed he had no involvement in a plot to put forward alternate electors in Georgia that would have tipped the state for him despite President Biden winning by thousands of votes, though he insisted the concept was “very common.”
Georgia prosecutors have been investigating the scheme and interviewing Trump associates like Rudy Giuliani in the matter.
The former president also repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in his handling of classified documents after the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago estate last month. The agency conducted the search months after it found dozens of classified documents at the residence and unsuccessfully tried to get the materials back from Trump.
Trump reasserted his claim that he had declassified all of the documents he kept at his home more than a year after leaving the White House, though experts have disputed he could do so without going through a more formal process and Trump’s legal team has not argued in court that he declassified the materials.
“There is no reason that they can [indict], other than if they’re just sick and deranged, which is always possible, because I did absolutely … nothing wrong,” Trump said Thursday.
The former president repeatedly said he does not believe the American public will accept him being indicted, warning there would be “problems” if he were.
Hewitt, noting some would interpret his comments as inciting violence, asked what kind of problems he was referring to, though Trump did not specify.
“That’s not inciting, I’m just saying what my opinion is,” Trump said. “I don’t think the people of this country would stand for it.”

What Trump said is absolutely correct; the citizens of the USA would not hesitate to do more than just “voice their opinion.” If the Democrats thought that they were about to loose their hats and asses in the 2022 and 2024 elections, they would start now to launch their “heavy artillery of corruption and deceit.” The slimy leaders of the Democrats know they are going to get their asses kicked hard, and a great number of them will then face well deserved prison terms. Hopefully their prison terms will be “without possibility of parole.” The rotten bastards need to be removed from any means of exterior communication. If I had my way, the hierarchy of the Democrat Party, all of Biden’s cabinet, plus a multitude of Biden’s political appointees would receive a “next to death” penalty. Since fighting in two wars and serving with the Air Force for more than 20 years, I had lost my desire to fight, but the damned Democrats have reignited the flame in my heart to protect our wonderful Nation from Democrat communists.

If they want to indict Trump for “ mishandling” documents, they need to also indict Obama for all the documents he has and refused to give back! The problem is, the demonrats know Trump has the “ goods” on them that can bring them all down, especially killary , Obama and the fbi. They are terrified of bien outed, but their actions prove their guilt.

Whoever votes for them has their heads under
the rug!!!! If you want socialism go to another
country—–leave America alone!!!!!!

They wont indict him. Defense would call Hilary Clinton as the first witness. She did the very same thing except she destroyed the evidence. She wouls be under oath this time.
