Trump's incendiary Texas speech may have deepened his legal troubles, experts say

Donald Trump’s incendiary call at a Texas rally for his backers to ready massive protests against “radical, vicious, racist prosecutors” could constitute obstruction of justice or other crimes and backfire legally on Trump, say former federal prosecutors.

Trump’s barbed attack was seen as carping against separate federal and state investigations into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and into his real estate empire.

Trump’s rant that his followers should launch the “biggest protests” ever in three cities should prosecutors “do anything wrong or illegal” by criminally charging him over his efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory, or for business tax fraud, came at a 30 January rally in Texas where he repeated falsehoods that the election was rigged.

Legal experts were astonished at Trump’s strong hints that if he runs and wins a second term in 2024, he would pardon many of those charged for attacking the Capitol on 6 January last year in hopes of thwarting Biden’s certification by Congress.

And? He said they should protest if prosecutors did anything wrong or illegal?  :lmao:

That's not obstruction, idiots.

Urging people to protest is a criminal offense?

2016 post election protests, P-hat March, BLM, etc...

Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

What legal troubles. Was he charged with something while I was in the hospital?

He doesn't have to be charged with anything to be guilty. Remember, to lefty, it's the seriousness of the accusation  that matters.
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

Only if it's not one of their own.  If it's a powerful or useful lefty seriousness, evidence, ect are irrelevant.

Maybe somebody found a video of Trump ballot-box-clubbing HilLIARy like a baby seal?
