WASHINGTON — Within minutes of the news breaking that former President Trump has been indicted, politicians and other leaders began reacting across social media.
The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is…

First, our media was overrun by the left, then our government was weaponized by the Democrats, and now our legal system has been completely upended by a Soros-funded district attorney who is targeting a political opponent while letting violent criminals run rampant across NYC.…

Outrageous.

I can’t believe this is happening in America. President Trump is the GREATEST President I’ve ever seen, but because he fights for YOU, they want him BEHIND BARS! We’ll have the last laugh. President Trump will be BACK in the White House!!

President Donald Trump always fought for us. He puts the American people above corrupt interests. For that reason alone, the powerful will never stop coming for him.

A majority of Americans know Alvin Bragg’s witch hunt is a politically motivated https://t.co/jxF97B2x8U…
The indictment of a former president is a somber day for America. It’s also a time to put faith in our judicial system. Donald Trump deserves every protection provided to him by the Constitution. As that unfolds, let us neither celebrate nor destroy. Justice benefits us all.

Upon learning of the NY DA indictment, I am heartbroken by the damage this targeted prosecution will do to the integrity of our justice system. It is a sad day in the story of the United States.

Corrupt NY Attorneys are following through on their political vendetta against President Trump.

They are choosing to waste time attacking a conservative when America has bigger problems to fix.
Inflation
Open border
High crime

The sham New York indictment of President Donald Trump is one of the clearest examples of extremist Democrats weaponizing government to attack their political opponents.

Outrageous.
Our side chants “lock her up” and their side is going to get a mug shot based on a witch hunt.

It’s time to change that.
Gloves are off.

The bedrock of our legal system is the principle that justice applies to everyone equally. No one is above the law.

This indictment isn't a trivial matter. A grand jury made up of everyday citizens decided that there is enough evidence to charge President Trump with a crime. pic.twitter.com/gag5mrD6lq
The indictment of former President Trump is just the latest of the weaponization of government against conservatives. Radical District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is best known for charging a bodega clerk with murder for defending himself, has largely ignored Congress...
