A role reversal is starting to play out, with some Democrats openly taunting President Donald Trump with threats he’ll be the one spending time behind bars after he’s out of office. And some White House hopefuls have started weighing in, teeing off on the norm-busting Trump presidency and arguing that no person should be above prosecution if the evidence is there.
The issue isn’t going away, though. If Trump loses next November, he will return to private life, opening him up to criminal charges he was immune from as president. And former special counsel Robert Mueller has left a potential rap sheet in the form of a report with evidence that numerous legal experts argue constitutes criminal obstruction of justice.
Politically, using Trump's famous 2016 campaign mantra against him has its selling points. Candidates can stand out in a supersized field by speaking to the faction of the party’s base that already feels deflated by Democratic leaders’ refusal to launch impeachment proceedings and angry that Mueller declined to make a final judgment on whether Trump should face prosecution for obstructing justice.
“You can see a case where an incoming [Democratic] president might not want a prosecution of Trump. It has the ability to blot out your entire agenda,” said Matthew Miller, a former Obama-era Justice Department spokesman. He called it a “very slippery slope” that the next president in many ways won’t even have control over — especially if they actually step back and leave it to their new crop of DOJ leaders to decide.

Y'all need to lock that son-of-a-b**** up
Lock HER up....there, I fixed it for ya!😂😂😂
Seriously we're going to stoop down to Trump's level of mentality I hope not.....
Yea let’s pretend like he hasn’t been president and hasn’t committed crimes. Besides those things, Democrats are doing exactly the same thing.
So, can you name a single instance where Democrats en mass chanted lock him up? Anywhere? Unlike Trump and his sycophants who do it at every one of his hate rallies? 'Across the political spectrum' my ass. This is right wingers trying to protect Trump from criminal prosecution.
That's what we do with criminals.
how original
Won't hear it at a YangGang rally. AndrewYang is laser focused on solving the problems that got Trump elected. Yang2020
Wow 27 retweets. Killing it. 100k wikl be in orlando tonight. 6 more years.
Nice from a person who SLEPT HER WAY TOO HER SENATE SEAT
Could him be Individual 1. Criminal. Felony Family Plan Man. Is that “him”?
On what grounds?
Coming the day after the State Department admit to more Clinton “mishandled” classified emails, this is bad timing. There was a case, as the FBI have stated, to charge Hillary under the espionage act. The AG stopped it. Trump hasn’t been guilty of doing anything illegal.
From the same folks who complained over this chant used against Clinton after it was disclosed she had an illegal home server where classified documents were illegally held and she willingly led the effort to destroy congressional subpoenaed information.
OR IT MAY SAY LOCK HIM UP MEANING OBAMA!!!!!
KathyNature If I was president on January 21 2021, I would want trump to be charged and arrested. No bail.
The left can't meme
I myself, would welcome chants of 'LOCK HIM UP' at Democratic candidate's campaign rallies and the debates. Would be hilarious. LockHimUp
Please I told you let's do it come on lock him up lock him up
Trump will be in good company then as liberals and their government agency hacks begin to fall.
Democrats chanting “lock him up” at President Trump will have the same effect on the voting public as Democrats throwing rocks at President Nixon’s motorcade in 1972.
How original
Bad idea! It's fine to call for transparency or oversight, allowing all investigations to come to their natural and unimpeded conclusions ... but DO NOT reduce use to a chant like that. EVER. Any chant we have should be POSITIVE and EMPOWERING.
I don't listen to bullshi
