Former presidents Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush did not appear in ABC's widespread search of federal and state criminal cases.

"The 36 cases identified by ABC News are remarkable in that a link to the president is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt," according to the report.

A few cases did include instances of violence or threats where Trump was invoked in order to target his supporters in Congress. ABC News' analysis only included direct, avowed connections to the president and his words—more elusive ties to violent and hate-inspired attacks were excluded.

B/c they know the MSM and democrats will eat it up and hopefully plead for leniency for the poor misguided soul. It’s a strategy, that’s what lawyers do.

If the time ever comes, I'll be invoking the defense as the reason why I committed such a heinous thoughtless crime.

Two statements to look back on, at one of the first Klanmens rallies he said ' Go ahead and ruff them up, I'll pay your legal fees. The other is when he gave the Presidential Order to all Police Departments to ' Beat hell out of them before putting them into the car '

In 10 cases, Trump's rhetoric was cited to explain a defendant's violent or menacing actions. In 10 more cases, defendants celebrated Trump while harassing others. Nine addl cases documented assailants praising the president during or immediately after a physically violent attack

who could have possibly seen this coming?!
