(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump, facing personal attacks from corrupt prosecutors and leftist lawmakers up and down the Atlantic seaboard, rallied his MAGA army to respond if deep-statists abuse their power illegally to go after the GOP leader.
“If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had in Washington DC, in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt,” Trump told a crowd in Conroe, Texas on Saturday night.
In addition to the efforts to prevent him from becoming a 2024 presidential candidate, some have even threatened Trump and his allies with incarceration—a stunning assault on democratic norms from the Left, which ironically claims to represent the forces of democracy.

New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, campaigned on the prospect of targeting the Trump family and has been unrelenting in her unethical attempt to dig up dirt on the Trumps over their private financial affairs.
Her investigation recently threatened also to ensnare Trump’s children—particularly Ivanka and Don Jr.—amid claims that the Trump Corporation overvalued and undervalued its properties to obtain favorable business deals.
Both she and former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. obtained Trump’s tax returns and have used the documents to bolster their fishing expedition, while coercing dirt from former Trump insiders like indicted lawyer Michael Cohen in hopes of flipping them for the prosecution.
Although it remains unclear whether Vance’s replacement, Alvin Bragg, will continue to expend the Big Apple’s resources on an anti-Trump vendetta that could further cost him political capital, Bragg’s ties to billionaire oligarch George Soros may hint at where his priorities lie.
Meanwhile, in the Atlanta area, new DA Fani Willis has waged her own attack over Trump’s efforts to pressure Georgia officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, into investigating the many credible allegations of fraud in counties like Fulton and DeKalb.
Willis received a court victory after judges permitted her to empanel a special grand jury, giving her the ability to indict.
“So let me get this straight, I am being investigated in Georgia for asking an Attorney General with many lawyers and others knowingly on the phone to look for corruption, which definitely took place in the Georgia Presidential election—but the people who committed the crime are in no way, shape, or form under investigation and are instead being protected?” Trump said in response to the development.
“The people looking for the crime are being hounded and the people who committed the crime are being protected,” he added. “This is not the American way.”
On Saturday, he suggested that the investigations might be racially motivated.

The House’s partisan Jan. 6 committee also had a victory after the US Supreme Court determined that it could access documents that Trump had sought to protect under executive privilege.
The panel—comprising seven anti-Trump lawmakers all appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—has already previewed the hyperbolic rhetoric it intends to use in order to milk the uprising at the US Capitol for maximum political leverage in the 2022 midterms, in which Democrats are expected to see major losses.
The panel’s two non-Democrats, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois also are expected to reap political consequences for betraying the GOP caucus.
While calling for protests that could potentially eclipse the Jan. 6 uprising, Trump sought to assuage the concerns of supporters that doing so could result in further political persecution, as has been the case for nearly 750 pro-Trump dissidents who allegedly entered the Capitol building and engaged in other activities to disrupt the certification of the disputed 2020 election.
“If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly,” Trump said at the rally on Saturday, according to USA Today. “And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.”
Some of those who engaged in riotous acts have since claimed that they did so under the belief that they were supporting their commander-in-chief, expressing disappointment after Trump failed to issue blanket pardons while on his way out of office.
In reality, those efforts likely would have failed, further undermining the presidency as Democrats in the politicized Justice Department proceeded to ignore Trump’s authority.
Evidence has suggested that the DOJ itself may have been heavily involved in promoting the acts of violence, relying on plants from its intelligence apparatus to stage a false-flag operation.
Officials have denied the involvement of “law-enforcement” agencies but have stopped short of saying federal agents were not embedded in the crowd. That likely included agents from the State Department-run CIA, as well as other departments that have their own secret espionage arms.
To those who might hesitate to rise up on behalf of Trump a second time, he put the situation in context, as he has done previously, by warning that the attacks on him and his family were largely symbolic of the greater struggle against anti-democratic globalist forces that seek to radically transform America by silencing its conservative majority and turning it into a one-party system.
“In reality, they’re not after me, they’re after you, and I just happen to be the person in the way,” Trump reminded his supporters on Saturday, according to the far-left Business Insider.
