 Fulton County, Georgia's district attorney Fannie Willis is expected to indict Trump this week. That would be his fourth indictment Now ahead of that likely announcement Trump is already trying to encourage one of the potential witnesses in that case to not testify against him Which is bad because that is something known as witness tampering which is illegal now He's doing this mind you publicly on social media where all of us can see including the prosecutor He wrote the following message on truth social I'm reading reports that failed former lieutenant governor of Georgia Jeff Duncan will be testifying before the Fulton County grand jury He shouldn't I barely know him But he was right from the beginning of this witch hunt a nasty disaster for those looking into the election fraud that took place in Georgia he refused having a special session to find out what went on became very unpopular with Republicans I refused to endorse him and fought the truth all the way. Yeah So pretty shameless there now if it wasn't already obvious enough that that was blatant witness tampering well legal experts Confirmed. Yeah, that is indeed exactly what it looks like. That's witness tampering. I mean, we shouldn't need their confirmation But I mean it's important still right for the layperson I guess so for example former US Attorney Barb McQuade it says it's witness tampering in real time law professor and political scientist Anthony Michael Kreese called it blatantly unlawful and All of us know that he is going to continue to do things like this because he's not going to go to jail He's gonna get away with it. Whereas if a normal person did that we all know it would happen They would be held in pretrial custody. So This is what happens when you're an elite in this country, right? You can do anything including tamper with witnesses out in the open attack the judge and You're gonna be just fine Now he wasn't done tweeting about this potential fourth indictment because he also put out this message to the grand jury saying quote Would someone please tell the Fulton County grand jury that I did not tamper with the election the people that tampered with it Were the ones that rigged it now he later says I would be happy to show this info to the grand jury Now he's presumably referring to a report from CNN that the Fulton County District Attorney's office has text messages and emails That tie him and his legal team to an unauthorized voting systems breach in Coffey County, Georgia And of course, we'll have to wait to see the indictment to confirm this But if it's true, this is a massive bombshell because the rigging that he accused Democrats of doing His team did like this is this is massive stuff here But need I remind you that Trump was also indicted a third time recently as well And he's not done tweeting about that case as well because last week he attacked the judge overseeing that case and Predictably, he did the same exact thing again this week He called her very biased and unfair on truth social in response to something that she told a January 6th insurrectionist And he also tweeted a post where she's called quote an Obama left-wing activist judge in DC whose husband also got appointed by Obama as a DC judge Openly admitted. She's running election interference against Trump. I mean he is literally Physically incapable of shutting the fuck up and it is Astonishing to me that not a single person in his circles like hey, man Maybe let's not talk about the cases, but that's all he's tweeting about He'll retweet some election stuff from time and again, but he keeps tweeting about his trials and attacking Prosecutors judges tampering with witnesses Now he says this after that same judge who he just attacked warned him about engaging in this sort of behavior She stated quote the more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case Which could taint the jury pool or intimidate potential witnesses the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial to ensure a jury Pull from which we can select an impartial jury So he is quite literally making things worse for himself and Newsweek adds Legal experts have now suggested that Trump may be spoken to by the judge over his latest social media postings And I have to remind everyone that even if the judge talks to him about this Do you think that a normal person would only get a stern talking to? Of course not and it's such a redundant point to make because I've said this a hundred times other people have pointed this out You can see it, but it's so important that this fact is not lost on us We are getting a real-time look at how our justice system treats elites even when they brazenly break the law Do any of us expect Trump to stop tweeting about his trials to stop attacking witnesses or judges? Of course not but at the same time that none of us expect his behavior to change We also don't expect any action, right? Nobody's gonna take him into custody I would be shocked if that happened but to echo what I said last week about this Everything that we're seeing is not taking place in a vacuum This absolute lunatic is doing all of this and getting away with it And at the same time he is the leading contender for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential primary That is so wild. It's not surprising But it's still shocking when you step back and look at all of the details Even if we're normalized to it, right the stronghold that he has on the Republican Party's voters It just cannot be overstated in fact GOP strategists worry that if he somehow loses the nomination Which is unlikely, but if that happens the entire Republican Party will suffer due to lower voter turnout among the GOP's base And it's not just that a large portion of the GOP's base is going to be disillusioned if he loses a good percentage of them might actually resort to violence and Mehdi Hassan had a really important warning about this on MSNBC and This aired yesterday, but I'm gonna play a clip from it because it's very important What happens if Trump is convicted and sentenced to prison? Especially this side of an election. What will his supporters do? My NBC News colleague Vaughn Hilliard asked one of them at a rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday If Donald Trump were to be found guilty by a jury When what where do you see this going? Awesome war because we can't live together obviously Now you might just dismiss that as the rantings of a cultish Trump superfan just big talk This country is nowhere near a civil war. That's hyperbole So have a listen to Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz speaking alongside Trump himself at the Iowa State Fair yesterday We're destroying our country Only by force can we make change in DC. That's what he said Still not enough for you then listen also to what Michigan Republican state representative Matmatic whose wife me Sean a former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party and one of the 16 fake electors Who was criminally charged last month listen to what he had to say earlier this month at a GOP fundraiser Per an audio recording obtained by the news site the messenger If the government continues to weaponize these departments against Conservatives and the citizens that are than the taxpayers, you know, what's gonna happen to this country? Someone's gonna get so pissed off. They're gonna shoot someone. That's what's gonna happen Are there really we're gonna have a civil war or some sort of revolution that that's where this is with us is going After that audio was released Maddox issued this statement to the messenger writing that he was simply exercising his right to free speech In the privacy of his own home We've reached out to Maddox ourselves for comment, but if you get to hear back now I don't know about you, but stuff like that sends a chill down my spine Elected Republicans casually discussing implicitly threatening civil war shootings the use of force One recent study from Professor Robert Pape at the University of Chicago found that from April the 6th 2023 to June 26 2023 Americans agreeing that the use of force is justified to restore Donald Trump to the presidency Increased from 4.5% to 7% or the equivalent of an estimated shift from 12 million to 18 million American adults In a moment, I'll speak to professor Barbara F. Walter from the University of California Who is an expert on civil conflict author of the book how civil war start? She says we are closer to civil war than any of us would like to believe Yeah, and this is because the base of just one of two major political parties that we have in this country Has devolved into a full-blown cult and the implications of this are absolutely Horrifying this political cult is tearing our country apart And I'm not trying to suggest that everything was peachy keen before the rise of Trump But he has been able to mobilize the GOP's already insane base in a way That's only comparable to some of the most influential demagogues in human history literally and even when Trump is out of the picture This problem is not going to go away. We're going to have to grapple with the reality That a large portion of this country is that extreme that unhinged that detached from reality that's stupid That self-centered that hateful and there are still a lot of people That have diluted themselves into thinking that you can win over a lot of these folks with economic policies or by calling them But that's not going to happen. These people want retribution and economic policies that specifically benefit them Isn't going to satiate their thirst for vengeance, right? They're out for blood They feel angry and Trump is somebody who is A vessel for their anger and nothing else can compare to that So whenever we talk about Trump's trials and his blatant disregard for the law We have to look at the broader context here and the way that his base responds to that Because he is either intentionally or unintentionally shoring up support by acting in this exact way by attacking the judge By witness tampering, right? And if he were to go to jail for witness tampering not going to happen But if that did happen his supporters would rally around him and love him even more because that's What they've done in the past, right? So we have no reason to think There's going to be some straw that breaks the camel's back with regard to donald trump and his criminality So in a twisted way, he actually has an incentive to act out in the way he has been He's playing a game of chicken with prosecutors and the us judicial system And he's winning they don't want to take him into pretrial custody and deal with the wrath of his supporters So of course they're just going to let him get away with the same shit. He's been getting away with He's effectively able to hold the entire judicial system hostage and he knows it, right? He loves this power. This is perhaps the quintessential case of absolute power corrupting absolutely And it's going to continue to happen, right? If he's indicted again, which is likely going to happen this week He's gonna act out. He's gonna do more witness tampering and attacking And nothing will be done about it because he knows they're too afraid of his base To take action and take him into custody Penis and balls vagina Penis and balls vagina P-word and balls vagina P-word and balls vagina ass Vagina she stroked my face with the vagina.
