Extortion means forcing someone into giving you something through threats. A bully who tells kids he'll beat them up if they don't give him their lunch money is guilty of extortion. A former president who says his supporters will riot if he's indicted is guilty of extortion. As with conspiracy, the act does not have to be successful to be charged with the crime. Threatening violence if he's indicted is extortion, whether or not the deplorables physically attack the DOJ or judiciary.

It's stochastic terrorism: The public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted:

He's publicly demonizing prosecution of Trump and he knows some amount of crazies will probably act on it. It's what most of the GOPers do. Much like the bombings of abortion clinics, murder of doctors, murder of people of color, mass shootings at public events, attacks on the FBI, Gabby Gifford's shooting.

Lindsey Graham Allegedly Told Police to Shoot Jan. 6 Rioters: 'You've Got Guns. Use Them'
https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-police-shoot-january-6-rioters-1644346


By Khaleda Rahman On 11/1/21 at 5:06 AM EDT


Sen. Lindsey Graham reportedly called for rioters to be shot as lawmakers were forced to evacuate the Senate chamber during the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

The Washington Post on Sunday published the results of a lengthy investigation: a three-part series, reconstructing in detail what happened before, during and after the riot when a mob of Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol in a bid to overturn President Joe Biden's election victory.

The second part, titled "Bloodshed," goes into detail about how then Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress were evacuated from the Senate chamber after rioters breached the building.........................


...................According to The Post, Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, was furious that senators were forced to flee their own chamber. He yelled at the sergeant-at-arms and urged him to shoot rioters in the mob, the newspaper reported, citing a Republican senator with knowledge of the exchange....................................

When I say that, had the mob not been so glowingly white as to light up a moonless night, there would have been no incursion of any kind. There would have been a massacre on the front steps. But, since they were predominately pasty-faced and sporting middle class beer guts, they were allowed to run crazy. You are correct lady Lindsey, but you have the bias backwards. After what happened that day, the proof shows that those who follow insanity have a 'get out of jail free' card when it comes to our 'justice' system, and anyone darker than a sheet of typing paper gets the shaft.

Maybe though it's good they didn't as hundreds would not have been arrested. Prissy Pants Graham should know that the arrests have have cooled down the MAGA mob and I doubt they would now riot for fear of losing their jobs, homes, 401K's. spouses, neighbors, relatives and more.

Republican scum Hawley and Graham have moved beyond claiming Trump's innocence (because they can't) to threatening the DOJ, as if inciting a violent mob to attack the capital, hang the Vice President, and declare himself King of the United States should be a lesson-learned: see what happens when you piss off Trump and his army of lowlife miscreants...it's obvious Hawley, Graham and the rest of the rancid Republican House of Horribles have yet to recognize one simple fact: Garland, a fair, prudent, contemplative man doesn't take kindly to intimidation...aka...go fuck yourselves and the treasonous ass-wipe you rode in on...

Not sure what the logic is here. Does he want us to let a treasonous spy go because we are supposed to be afraid? That would certainly put Trump above the law.

I think this was said to incite trouble. Do they know something that we don't? Or, is he smelling the stench of his own indictment? He hitched himself to Trump, but Trump would throw him under the bus in a heartbeat if it helped himself escape.

There will be rioting if he ISN'T indicted. But it won't be "antifa." It will be law abiding citizens and patriots who are watching America's democracy and rule of law getting converting to fascism. And we're not letting go of this country without a fight.

We're not worried about your basement warriors, Graham Cracker. We're worried that America is for sale to the highest bidder. And you're helping the transaction.
