Summary

Fox News hosts Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld on The Five controversially suggested the death penalty for prosecutors involved in Donald Trump’s criminal cases.

This comes as the Department of Justice prepares to wind down federal cases against Trump in line with a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.

Trump faces state charges in New York and Georgia, where he cannot use presidential pardons.

The hosts noted that Trump’s legal challenges appear to have strengthened his support, potentially aiding his return to the White House.

    I fucking hate how I agree with Jesse Watters when he says

    It’s also crazy that they call this guy a dictator and when he won they’re like “Oh we’re gonna help you transition,”

    The Republican party is done with any sort of politeness or goodwill, to the point of not conceding elections. They are breaking the system and rebuilding it in the aftermath. You can’t stop them from breaking the thing by using the thing itself.

    Well couldn’t those prosecutors just go shoot the Fox news reporters calling for them to be killed? They all have gun rights too. They can stand their ground in self defense of death threats.

    Just the death penalty? Not burned at the stake or hung and quartered?

    The trumpist crowd is much nicer than expected.

    See? Things aren’t so bad.
