Democrats sweating as Trump says others will | Political News

President Donald Trump has Democrats sweating after teasing that he is perhaps wanting to indict a number of other people after the indictment of James Comey.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday morning, President Trump mentioned future legal actions against members of the Democratic Party. “Now that Comey has been indicted, who is the next person on your list?” one intrepid reporter requested.

“It’s not a list, but I think there’ll be others. I mean, they’re corrupt. These were corrupt, radical left Democrats,” the president responded. “Because Comey, primarily was, he was worse than a Democrat.”

“I would say the Democrats are better than Comey. But no, there’ll be others. Look, it was, that’s my opinion,” he added. Trump additional commented that the Democratic “weaponized the Justice Department like nobody in history.”

“What they’ve done is terrible, and so I would I hope there, frankly, I hope there are others,” President Trump added. “Because you can’t let this happen to a country you saw him. Pretty easy case. He lied.”

The former FBI was indicted Thursday on one depend of making a false assertion to Congress and one depend of obstruction of a congressional continuing. According to a court submitting in the Alexandria, Virginia, federal court, the costs heart on whether or not Comey lied and misled lawmakers during testimony in September 2020 about the Russia investigation.

His indictment has scared Democrats who say the transfer is the latest signal that the president is making good on his promise “to turn our justice system into a weapon for punishing and silencing his critics”, Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said.

“This kind of interference is a dangerous abuse of power. Our system depends on prosecutors making decisions based on evidence and the law, not on the personal grudges of a politician determined to settle scores,” Warner said.

Democratic senator Adam Schiff, who performed a very important position in Trump’s first impeachment, said he “never witnessed such a blatant abuse of the” justice division, calling it “little more than an arm of the president’s retribution campaign,” in a post on X.

“You saw my kid today. He didn’t do a lot of things that maybe he should have, but I don’t think he could, because he lied,” Trump added. “That was a very important crisis, and he wanted to be specific, but he didn’t the only thing that happened to him, he didn’t think he’d get caught.”

“That was a very important answer, and it was very for him. It was a very good answer if he didn’t get caught, but he got caught lying to Congress that now that Congress, they will,” she said. The comments came hours after Trump slammed Comey as a “dirty cop” in a Truth Social post.

“Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED!” the president stated around 7 a.m. on Friday. “It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one.”

“There is no way he can explain his way out of it,” Trump added. “He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden-appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start.”

“Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute,” the president added. “He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it.”

According to the president, “He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question.” Trump also added that Comey “just got unexpectedly caught.”

“James ‘Dirty Cop’ Comey was a destroyer of lives,” the president concluded. “He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far-reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT.”

A few minutes later, Trump posted again, stating, “JAMES COMEY IS A DIRTY COP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” It comes after Comey, in a video posted after his indictment, said: “My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I’m innocent. So let’s have a trial.”
