Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani tried to defend the former President on Newsmax over a possible indictment being handed down on Tuesday. And I gotta say that the 'Lock her up' crowd suddenly thinks it's terrible for our country to indict a former president with crimes he (allegedly!) committed.
Republicans certainly don't seem able to uncouple themselves from the one-term President. The excuses for defending him after a grand jury -- if Trump isn't lying about the indictment -- found the evidence worthy of referring Trump for an indictment.
But this excuse made me snort-laugh.
He suggested that "the prosecution system is turned into a political device" and added, "You can look at ancient history, and you can see this is the kind of thing that ends civilization."
The world will end if Lumpy is held accountable for his alleged crimes, according to Rudy. Trump has Georgia to worry about, too. As Susie Madrak reported today, prosecutors in Atlanta are considering bringing racketeering and conspiracy charges in connection with Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election in that state.
And then Trump is being investigated for possibly mishandling classified documents and his role in the Jan. 6th insurrection after he whipped his supporters into a frenzy. And on the Georgia case, it's on audio. In the case of the Jan. 6 riot, it's on film.
No one should be above the law. Even a former reality TV show star.
