WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump ordered the US Justice Department on Saturday to look into Democrats for āthreatening a lot of peopleā with impeachment and other āforms of punishment, saying in a social media post that their actions amount āto a ācriminal act,ā without providing evidence.
Democratic candidates routed Trumpās Republicans in midterm elections on Tuesday, giving them control of Congress starting in January. Party leaders have promised to reassert Congressā oversight of the executive branch once āthey are in power by holding hearings and conducting investigations into Trump administration actions.
In āhis post, Trump accused Democrats of sending āthreatening letters to many people, all innocent.ā
Members ā of Congress have released copies of letters seeking documents on matters such as tech company donations āfor the large ballroom Trump is building at the White House.
Trumpās post also referred to Democratic āSenator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, who suggested in remarks last month at the University of Chicago that Congress should investigate people who have enabled Trumpās policies.
Reminder: This is the guy connected to slogans like āLock her [Clinton] upā and āHang Mike Penceā. You really canāt make this shit up.
As someone else has said, if enforcing the law looks like revenge, it might be that YOU are the problem.
But not the MAGA pastor calling for another Jan. 6th?
The crimes are not the crimes. Pointing out the crimes is the real crime, in Trump World. š¤Ŗ
Pedophile, insurrectionist, stochastic terrorist says what?
Well, there you have it. Using the legal system as intended to prosecute actual criminals is now itself an illegal criminal act.
If they want to investigate threats of political violence, they should start with Truth Social. And specifically, check the posts of people who follow Donald Trump. Itās a veritable buffet of violent rhetoric.
Threatening me with a good time, maybe.
Thatās because Eric felt threatened
Damn those democrats, threatening people with good time.
Here we go.
