The only thing frightening is that you are saying this to protect the guilty

[Brynden-Rivers]

This insane. The current administration is doing exactly to trump what these people are saying trump will do.

[TalonMerlin]

Ya'll trying to jail your enemies is a frightening thing, MSNBC.

[Daforealkindastuf]

But trump was president for 4 years. Who all did he jail.

[cjb]

People who jail their enemies, trying to tell us, it's frightening to want to jail your enemies.

[bdeheton]

Says the people who are jailing their enemies for political reasons…

[OG_Hashishin]

They really expect us to ignore their blatant hypocrisy. 😭

[TrippooDew]

Im sorry but how can you write that headline and not think about how hypocritical it is. Jailing trump has been this networks number one talking points since the trials started.

[dixon]

Lets throw the book at Trump... Oh no Trumps going to do the same to us and thats not fair

[cathiwalker]

This coming from the network that said the only way they could ever get rid of Trump was if he was dead. I remember.

[jamesh]

The level of gaslighting and hypocrisy here is just unbelievable. They do it right in front of us as if we don’t see it.

[tammebrown]

Please…. We’ve witnessed your extreme tyranny. You’re the last to preach by far

[Ruthieshole]

So what about the people that said they're out to get him ? Do you remember Rasheeda Talib sing we're going to get the MF the current Administration has already weaponized the Department of Justice trauma I'm already scared of them I'm not scared at all of trump

[sgshaday]

Hold on... Isn't jailing him what they are trying to do to Trump? I understand, not liking Trump, but the blatant double-standard while accusing others of doing what they are already doing is... wow.

[jessebrogan]

Talk about jailing Trump's enemies is not more a threat than actually prosecuting Trump. Jailing Trump's companions is a reality; while talk is cheap when it comes to people who have done their best to put Trump in prison.

[jameshylton]

So where is the outcry about THEM DOING THE SAME THING TO TRUMP NOW?? SO MUCH HYPROCRACY IN THE LEFT!!!!

[lifeofmachine]

I'm an independent but how can you not see the irony in this? It's kind of infuriating.

[KittensWithHelmets]

His enemies have tried to jail him for the past 8 years! They have lied, conspired and manipulated media in an effort to jail him. They should be held accountable for their crimes!!!!

[janetguirguis]

They shouldn’t worry if they didn’t do wrong or injustice

[davidgrover]

You’re seriously complaining that Trump might do to you what you progs have been doing to the citizenry for 4 years now?
