Former President Donald Trump understands the dangerous path set by the nakedly political prosecution brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “What happened to me has never happened in this country before,” Trump correctly told Fox News’s Sean Hannity last week, “It’s a very terrible thing. It’s a terrible precedent for our country.”
The previous night on Newsmax, Trump used more incendiary language to illustrate where Bragg’s precedent for political prosecutions could lead America. “Wouldn’t it be terrible to throw the president’s wife and the former secretary of state into jail?” Trump said, in reference to Hillary Clinton’s illegal handling of classified information. “Wouldn’t that be a terrible thing? It’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to. And it’s very possible that it’s going to have to happen to them.”
