GOP Senator Lindsey Graham has warned there will be 'riots in the streets' if Donald Trump is indicted over his mishandling of classified documents.
Graham suggested there was a two-tiered legal system based along political lines in support of Joe Biden and against the former president.
'Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It's all about getting him,' Graham said to Fox News on Sunday night.
'There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure the story didn't break before the 2020 election.

I'm not so sure. Our side doesn't riot without FBI encouragement. Wanton destruction isn't generally our thing. Now surgical strikes on communists, that might happen.

Oh, he's on Trump's side this week, is he? He needs to make up his mind whether he's a Republican or a RINO!

He's very wrong, Trump supporters do not riot. They go to the voting booth. He is correct about the number one concern is the one sided justice system.

If democrats would be so stupid as to indict President Trump, especially on these ridiculous charges, I don’t know what would happen. It would shake this Republic to its core, I can’t see Republicans rioting. However, all bets would be off.
I don’t think democrats understand the depth of concern the vast majority of Americans have for the country now. They are not divided on the cause either. Democrats are squarely to blame and people have had it with their lawlessness. I don’t wish to be hyperbolic here but the anger that would ripple through the country should democrats indict FPDT would produce a highly charged atmosphere. I do believe it would trigger Biden to declare Martial Law and who knows what would transpired after that. Americans are just about at their breaking point and are anxiously awaiting to voice their opinion at the ballot box. For everyone’s sake, let’s pray that we will have a free and fair election and the American people can have their say. God help us. This rogue administration is playing with fire and who knows what would happen if they pour gasoline on it,

There’ll be no blood on the streets Miss Lindsey. So knock off the tough talk rhetoric.
First off conservatives have jobs. We have to work to support ourselves and help support useless people like yourself. We just don’t have the time to riot, especially without the support of the the FBI, nor the desire to spend time and jail and the cost to obtain an attorney.
So please shut your alligator mouth up Miss Lindsey. You’re not going to do anything substantial, should President Trump be arrested, you know it, and we know it.

We all know there is a unconstitutional double standard when it comes to anything Trump but to hell with the bidens Graham, comparing the corrupt attack on President Trump and his private residence to the filthy debauched perverted biden family is in my opinion a diversion from what Hillary Clinton did as SOS. If they get their way I believe "they" will so neuter the Executive any dig by the republicans after this fiasco will have zero authority behind it.

Senator, the Dems know that conservatives don't riot. They also know that if they protest, the Dems will come down hard on them. Just ask the J6 political prisoners.

Not "riots", shutdowns, blockades, lockouts, blackouts, power, gas shutoffs, bridge/tunnel closures...road and rail.
The only violence will be a defensive response to violent attacks against those protestors...which "Dem/Media will call "Riots".
Likely will be a Blue Flu style "cop strike" writ much larger...Red/white/blue flu where repubs in every sector shut down, don't show up, lock their stores/businesses, factories,farms,...1/2 the country "on strike"...by far,the most productive half

The Dims want riots. Riots in which Republicans participate are particularly desirable to them. It would justify anything and everything.

Mr Weatherman gives the left a reason to riot.
Not a good look for an alleged Republican.

I tend to agree with #3, remove the people responsible, one at a time. Burning down a Walgreens accomplishes nothing.

Again with the “ oh my golly those conservatives are going to get violent again” rhetoric. Does it ever get old? Let’s go back to Nazi, Nazi, Nazi for a while, ok?

If the Democrats internal polls show that they are down big the indictment will come within two weeks of the election in November. There will be the appearance of riots and that will allow Martial Law to be declared and the election “postponed”. Remember they must remain in charge.

Nothing will happen. They've terrified the conservatives by holding political prisoners from Jan 6 even now, in violation of their constitutional rights. Conservatives have too much to lose by being illegally locked up for months, years. The media, politicians, and so-called judicial system will only attack conservatives. They just demonstrated this again by the perverse FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. "We can do THIS even to a former president. You'd better not try anything, or we can do worse to you."
It's rigged from top to bottom.

From the headline: "Threatens Unrest." Did Ms. Lindsey threaten riots OR did she just describe what she thought would happen? One is quite different from the other.

The rioting would be manufactured by the left to looks like it is the right doing the nonsense. Same as J6. The democraps would love nothing more than Biden to declare martial law prior to November.

If Trump is indicted there will be riots. But it won't be his supporters venting their outrage, as much as it will be the Left indulging in another victory gloat.
