Ex-DOJ Officials Chilling Warning: Donald Trump Will Do Far Far Worse If Acquitted
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal cautioned the Ukraine scandal could only be the start.
By Lee Moran
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal on Wednesday warned that President Donald Trump will be emboldened to do far far worse if he is acquitted in his Senate impeachment trial.
Neal Katyal, who served in the Justice Department role under former President Barack Obama, made the prediction on Twitter after Trumps defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz argued during impeachment proceedings that if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.

(16,716 posts)They will have shown their colors that they no longer serve the Republic for which it stands when they vote to Acquit Trump.
They will have sworn LOYALTY to him. Not to us, the principles and values we hold. 244 years of American history will have been for naught. Erased, deleted, that now Republicans will have anointed a DICTATOR with absolute power. The US Constitution no longer applies. The Bill of Rights will be abolished.

(16,847 posts)They believe this will solidify their control and their agenda. We are at a terrifying time for the republic. They have become so brazen because they've never been held to account. When the GOP blocked gun reform after Sandy Hook, despite an overwhelming public support for reforms, followed by the blocking of the Gorsuch nomination, and they weren't stomped into the ground, that just empowered their brazenness. They know they can do absolutely anything they wish without any political fallout. I hope that the structures for electoral change are still stable enough to prove them wrong.
