Trump Again Floats Prosecution as Payback If He Wins: ‘Very Possible It’s Gonna Have to Happen to Them’

Kelly: “So, the conviction, they’re running around, ‘convicted felon,’ ‘convicted felon,’ it doesn’t resonate. People know what that connotes and it doesn’t fit for you. Is it possible that this is a net positive? And maybe it’s too soon, but, you know, a lot of money is common in, a lot of support. Is it a net positive? Is there any way that that conviction could be a net positive?”
Trump: “Well, they’re nasty people, they’re crooked as hell. They’re nasty, vicious people. And it it was a trial that everybody should have been brought, including Bragg didn’t want to bring it, nobody wanted to bring it until I decided to run and then was beating everybody by a lot, and then was beating Biden by a lot in the pause. But, you know, it’s very terrible thing. It’s a terrible precedent for our country. Does that mean the next president does it to them? That’s really the question. You know, I said on a recent show that I did, a good show, good people, you would like these people even though they’re competitors, but I was talking about, you know, when I’d mention Hillary’s name, they’d all scream, ‘Lock her up, lock her up,’ and everybody got a kick out of it. But I watched — I was at UFC the other night, as you saw, Greg, and I saw fighters that hated each other with a passion like you’ve never seen, for three months they’re just going crazy about how much they hate, and then the fight is over and they’re hugging and they’re kissing in the middle of the ring. And I said, wouldn’t it really be bad — you know, like, as an example, Hillary with the hammering of her cellphones and all of the things she did, but wouldn’t it be a terrible to throw the president’s wife and the former secretary state — think of it, the former secretary of state, but the president’s wife into jail, wouldn’t that be a terrible thing? But they want to do it. So, you know, it’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to, and it’s very possible that it’s going to have to happen to them. But I personally thought, and I really did — you know, I got a lot of credit from a lot of people. Some people said I should have done it, but, you know — would have been very easy to do it, but I thought it would be a terrible precedent for our country. And now, whoever it may be, you’re gonna have to view it very much differently. This is a bad, bad road that they’re leading us down to as a country, and this is the third-world countries.”
