Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Philadelphia’s DA have warned troops they’ll face charges that Trump can’t save them from if they violate residents.
As Donald Trump floats expanding his authoritarian military crackdown to liberal-led cities beyond the nation’s capital, troops deployed to carry out his anti-democratic schemes might be at risk of prosecution themselves — and the pardon-happy president may not be able to save them.
Thus far, by my count, two Democrats in states that may find themselves targeted have vowed to spur local or state prosecutions — which couldn’t be overturned with a presidential pardon — for anyone who violate residents’ rights if and when the Trump administration expands its troop deployment.
Says the people currently NOT impeaching trump for abusing his power
Governors lack the ability to impeach the President.
Yeah, and so does the whole democratic party apparently
We had too many idiotic and lazy voters and so Congress is run by conservatives. Too many people think the Democrats are “just as bad” and the conservatives and now here we are.
Correct, Republicans control Congress so the only way Trump could be impeached by Democrats is with Republican support.
