Lindsey Graham Warns Of ‘Riots In Streets’ If Trump Is Charged Over Classified Docs

Staunch Donald Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) ominously warned Sunday of “riots in the streets” if the former president is hit with charges for taking classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago home when he moved out of the White House.

“If there’s a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information, after the [Hillary] Clinton debacle … there’ll be riots in the streets,” Graham said on Fox News’ “Sunday Night in America,” hosted by former South Carolina congressman Trey Gowdy (R).

In Trump’s case, after officials tried for several months to retrieve U.S. documents from him, FBI agents this month confiscated several boxes of material stashed at Mar-a-Lago, including classified documents and even highly sensitive top secret information.

Graham insisted to Gowdy that Trump is treated with a “double standard.”

“Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It’s all about getting him,” Graham told Gowdy.

Critics on Twitter were outraged by yet another threat of violence during investigations into suspected crimes.

This is a threat. The Senate should censure him.

So you are saying Republicans are very violent people who do not believe in law and order?

Nice threat, Lindsey. And very revealing of your consciousness of guilt.

The truth is most Americans will celebrate just like we did when we kicked Trump’s ass to the curb. https://t.co/Y00vKCyvfz

But I was repeatedly told only “Antifa” and “BLM” do riots on the streets.

If this is their best defense for violating the espionage act then they know he’s guilty AF.

Worth mentioning that he said it again at the end of the interview after he was asked about his subpoena and saying “I love the law”
