'If they tried to prosecute President Trump for mishandling classified information after Hillary Clinton set up a server in her basement, there literally will be riots in the street,' Graham warned on Fox News over the weekend. 'I worry about the country.'

"If they tried to prosecute President Trump for mishandling classified information after Hillary Clinton set up a server in her basement, there literally will be riots in the street," Graham warned on Fox News'"Sunday Night in America.""I worry about the country."

Graham referenced Clinton's email handling while serving as secretary of state. Clinton's use of a private sever was under investigation; the FBI concluded there was no mishandling of classified information. Graham argued there is a"double standard" when it comes to Trump. According to Graham, he and many other Republicans believe that when it comes to the former president, there are no laws, and"it's all about getting him."Georgia grand jury:Mary McCord, a former official at the Department of Justice, criticized Graham's comments on CNN.

"I think it’s incredibly irresponsible for an elected official to basically make veiled threats of violence, just if law enforcement and the Department of Justice and a grand jury does their job,” McCordAnti-gun violence activist Fred Guttenberg also criticized Graham's comments and said that Graham is Trump's"mouthpiece."

"He will use that as a hedge against criminal charges & will incite violence when charges come. Looks like @LindseyGrahamSC will be his mouthpiece and deliver the message," Guttenberg said on Twitter.

The government as a whole has BEEN con artist breaking laws all along. It’s folding in on it’s toxic self.

No you don't, you are doing everything to help Trump get off and try to make Trump a candidate, even though he started a riot, this can't be America.

Riot he will lead?

BULL!!

It's more of a call to violence if 'ABCD' happens. I believe that Jan. 06, 2021 was the blueprint for future actions. It's like what the terrorist believe, that failure is a rehearsal for success. In code speech 'The mid-term elections 'will be wild!!''. PrayForOurCountry

You have to UNDERSTAND! DEMOCRATS ARE ABOVE THE LAW! Don't you get it

gee 1/6 all over again lindsey you traitor say it right

Does this mean he and tfg are planning a coup now. Lock them up!

Someone show photos of servers in the basement of Former Secretary Hillary Clinton! Prove it. Stop the misinformation!

What about the riots if they don’t prosecute

You're Spot On Lindsey!! Clinton is a Crook!

This why trump keep THINKING he is the president… y’all keep referencing him as the president… he IS NOT THE PRESIDENT!!!… PRESIDENT BIDEN is the president!!!

The better question is: what does Trump have on Lindsey Graham

FBI Agent Tim Thibault, posted anti-Trump Lincoln Project tweets, buried the investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, was also one of the FBI agents tasked with “combatting election fraud”. He was mastermind of the affidavit to raid Mar-a-Lago. People have a right to be angry.

This is y one shouldn’t follow data and studies.

REAAAAAALLY?!!!! Lindsey is a Durty Knees SICKO-PHANT!!!

This kind of BS spin serves only to infuriate the simple minded .You know , the ones Trump loves ,he loves them all because they’re special , really really special .Graham knows and is using the same tactic that brought these people to Washington on the 6th of Jan .Stir them up !

He just admitted to knowing Trump broke the law.

I think there will be a riot in the Country if Trump does not go away.

So you can commit a crime as long as you get enough people to riot for you afterward got it …

You should worry…..your boss (still) and supposedly fearless leader drove the US to this point. Stop being a follower a do something right for the US people !!

He’s such a sniveling little liar. “Mishandled” my ass…more like Trump stole and wouldn’t return. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Bring on the riots. Orange man needs to be jailed!

I say F it… bring it on… lock all these criminals and traitors up

The Republicans are totally out of control with Trump.

and to jail they go.............

If the President frees the slaves… If the President gives women the right to vote… If the President signs the civil rights bill… How far have we come as a country when it’s… If the people hold the President accountable under the law… they’ll be riots in the streets.

Lock him up!

If you continue to talk about Hillary’s misdeeds, maybe we should step back at Bush 2 with the illegal war in Iraq. Or move back a little further or Mr. Reagan and he contra affair that brought cocaine onto the streets of America or even Nixon and s pardon. Past is the past.

This guy is such a lowlife .

His use of 'mishandling' belies the use of the word. Trying to 'misrepresent' the act of purposefully removing classified documents to an unsecured closet against 'ruled and regulations' HC server was in a secured US govt building..not a basement

The same GOP politicians who flamed the HATE/insurrection during JAN 6th will call upon the SAME Rightwing EXTREMIST groups to RIOT in the streets for trump.

Each time TRUMP is convicted, CORRUPT GOP always votes not to convict.AFRAID to lose their support from GOP voters. So don't blame Dems. This time the jury pool will be THE PEOPLE (jurors). Will decide.

Shame on him. Senator on the judiciary committee. His malfeasance as a senator is beyond unamerican. Treasonous.

What a leader.

The superior Lindsay

Hillary was investigated and found innocent. How about your leader?

Please don't bring up Trump. He's the most divisive, dishonest corrupt person to occupy the WH. A mistake NOT to be repeated.

To insinuate or if you will threaten that someone is above the law because his followers are radical with you being one, is the threat to law abiding citizens and democracy. He’s warming the DOJ to not touch Donald Trump. Traitor!

For you shall not drink wine with a song in a city of confusion and your houses shut up mirth of the land is gone.

Hilary was President? I worry about people who defend people who do the wrong thing

You need to retire. You shoukd be ashamed of yourself

Lindsey Graham allways talking 👄 crap. Before he said something good out of his mouth for once and set example now he his talking about riot in the street citizens like him bring there country down to the pit with people like Trump they are all maffers John gotta stile.

Lindsey Graham and the civil war?

Send him straight to Jail.

Just what some governments in other parts of the world are celebrating... Fracture, division and conflict within the USA

Funny, Hillary Clinton was in office and it was Trump who said, she’s been through enough. Also, the FBI cost her the election. They cheered for them then, didn’t they?

highly likely... the main thing is 'fair play' in balance...

How cares

I worry, too. I worry about traitors. I worry about people who steal paper documents and refuse to return them, even when they’ve been informed they’re classified. I’m worried that you’re condoning violence. It’s not a good look.

Majority of Americans believe in equal & fair treatment under the law, don’t believe it’s acceptable to persecute one’s political rivals, & are peaceful. We are fed up w/ the relentless pursuit of Trump. Obama, Clinton, the FBI & DC Establishment have lied & spent a fortune. STOP

I don't. We've beaten fascist trash before, America will do it again.

But riots were a good thing, right?

Any cursory reality would tell you that this is all bullshit.

They screamed the same bullcrap 'if Trump lose the election'...

If he was married and had kids, he wouldn't say this. He knows nothing of what 99% of the women in this country would say to their sons, husbands and fathers if they participated in riots in the street. These guys would never hear the end of it, and they know it.

He needs to be prosecuted for inciting a riot with his statement

Didn’t most of the Trump inner circle also use their own servers while at the White House?

It will also be addressed in the same way as that of US capitol attack😅

In your tiny mind maybe ' we got fish to feed , people to take care of and a economy to repair! Trying to clean up the Republicans mess!!

Sorry LindseyGrahamSC you only worry about your own guilty ass….you weren’t worried about the country whenTrump was burning it down

No need to even give that idea a mention.

It was President Clinton's server that Hillary Clinton was using, she didn't 'set it up' in the basement. The GOP just keeps lying about this... It was secured.

Americans are not cattle or robots. We see what is going on. The FBI lied and pressured Facebook to not report on Hunter’s laptop. Censorship violates the rights our forefathers died for.

Trump world 2022

Which country Lindsey?

Ha ha ha ha! There will be massive celebrations in the streets. Can’t wait.

🤡

Duh, persecute them both

LindseyGrahamSC is a BootlickingCoward (unless he's drunk).

Don’t worry, Republicans won’t ever loot and burn like BLM & ANTIFA.

Lindsey Graham is trying to take the heat off of himself since he is now in hot water he wants us to look somewhere else

Lindsay Graham is inciting domestic terrorism.
