Trump calling for violence: "he has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!"

I don't take this statement of a direct threat to Schiff, but it certainly seems like a clarion call to Trump's rabid supporters.

Does Schiff have adequate security? I would counsel him to seek it.

Like a mob boss he doesn't come out and directly threaten someone. He just encourages violence and puts their lives in danger. His followers know what he's implying here. Trump repeatedly pulls this shit on Twitter and they do nothing to stop him. Kamala Harris was absolutely right that Twitter should shut down his account.

was reworked and twitter users, sending the reworked post to their friends/people they know personally. Would the twitter police ban these people and still let trump go free???

According to Republicans, that's fine.

Maybe Trump just wants Schiff to go through some things like he wanted for Yovanovitch.

the Secret Service would be investigating Trump. But we know that is not going to happen.

The same should be said of Chump. This is the biggest bill Chump will ever encounter.
