DOJ's Trump probes should matter most to nation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump took to social media on Saturday to stir up his mob.

“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,” he said on Truth Social, his bespoke website, fashioning his post like a ransom note. “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK.”

A Trump spokesman had to clear up things soon afterward. He said that Trump had no idea about the timing of an arrest, much less on Tuesday. But Trump’s post served its purpose. A number of Republicans, including Kevin McCarthy, Mike Pence, Elise Stefanik and Marjorie Taylor Greene, rushed to his defense. Trump, they said, is a victim.

All of this smacks of the stream of social media posts Trump deployed before the Jan. 6 insurrection in 2021 at the U.S. Capitol; most famously, his invitation to visit Washington: “Be there, will be wild.” It’s also a reminder that once an insurrectionist, always an insurrectionist. Trump, of course, hasn’t learned a thing from all of the arrests, lawsuits and public hearings that have followed the Jan. 6 siege. He revels in the idea that he can burn the house down if voters or law enforcement get in his way.
