In a Truth Social post (click here) on Saturday in which he claimed he’ll be arrested by New York officials Tuesday for hush money he paid adult film star Stormy Daniels, former President Donald Trump called for his supporters to “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” Trump’s post is one of the reasons we need to be concerned about whether in response to any of the criminal investigations he faces, violent extremists will mobilize on his behalf as they did Jan. 6, 2021....

There will most probably be confrontation, especially with counter protesters. There will be police dangers as well with Trump rallies and protests. The protections at the US Capitol that were put in place after the insurrection of January 6, 2021 need to be maintained and strengthened. President Biden and Vice President Harris need the best protection we can give them, too.
There is absolutely no doubt Donald John Trump intended for the rally on that day to end in violence insurrection at the US Capitol while disrupting the proceedings to bring in the next freely elected president. The US Justice Department should not be afraid of the truth and bring charges against Trump for his attack on his own Secret Service to get to the insurrection to lead it to complete the violence he expected.
Trump's presidency brought violence to this country as well as a compromised national security by insulting NATO and seeking to make it weaker while allowing breaches in national security with Russia and quite possibly China.
US Justice also needs to add to the list the very fact Trump sought to undermine support for Ukraine. His oath of office was violated.
