Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Philadelphia’s DA have warned troops they’ll face charges that Trump can’t save them from if they violate residents.
As Donald Trump floats expanding his authoritarian military crackdown to liberal-led cities beyond the nation’s capital, troops deployed to carry out his anti-democratic schemes might be at risk of prosecution themselves — and the pardon-happy president may not be able to save them.
Thus far, by my count, two Democrats in states that may find themselves targeted have vowed to spur local or state prosecutions — which couldn’t be overturned with a presidential pardon — for anyone who violate residents’ rights if and when the Trump administration expands its troop deployment.
Yeah, it’s not supposed to be the way it works, but the way it works is also supposed to be that an actual traitor isn’t supposed to become president, and then attempt a coup to remain Dictator-for-Life, and then just walk away with no consequences at all.
Trump was, and remains, America’s biggest national security threat, and it was well within Biden’s powers to have him detained immediately after his inauguration, and detained at a military facility. Once his AG was approved, he could take over the case.
And I agree with your assessment of Garland. This should be a lesson to all future Democratic presidents - MAGAs (there are no Republicans any more) cannot be trusted under any circumstances, and should never hold any positions of responsibility in government, at any level. Every single one is a traitor, a pedophile, and corrupt, and hates America.
