Arizona's top prosecutor investigating Trump's comments about Cheney as possible death threat

Source: 12News (NBC)

PHOENIX — Arizona's top prosecutor tells 12News she is investigating whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump violated state law by making a "death threat" against former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney during remarks Thursday night at an event in Glendale.

"I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona's laws," Attorney General Mayes, a first-term Democrat, said during Friday's taping of "Sunday Square Off."


"I'm not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn't, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state."

Trump was interviewed Friday night by former Fox TV host Tucker Carlson at an arena event in Glendale.

Seems only proper that you'd consider whether this violent menace to society should be freely walking the streets before trial.

If on Monday dipshit hitler calls for Kamala Harris to be killed when she votes, would the justice department or Secret Service hesitate to do anything so as not to affect the election?. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE SHIT THIS CRETIN GETS BY WITH. Fuck trump with a pineapple wrapped in barbed wire…

It’s all part of his upwards-failing enabling — the justice system, the M$M, and ‘ruling class’ will make sure Dump is coddled and shielded from reality, safe in his fart bubble…..

9. If he violated state law, then all votes for him in AZ should be discounted, invalidated.

Early and next week.

I mean, it's only fair, right? Party of "Law and Order" or.... Pootie's Pussies?

Something tells me it has become the latter.

Possible, probable, and my favorite…potential.


Take those words out of all these headlines see how much less stupid they sound.

They’re investigating it as a “possible” death threat.
No. They’re investigating it as a death threat. They may find it wasn’t. But stop the pussy footing around.

He’s facing a “potential” life sentence.
No. He’s facing a life sentence. He might not get it, but that’s what he’s facing.


The chickenshitification of America has got to stop!

(I may be wrong about “probable”, but he came in with the other two…so fuck him, too!)

Trumps comments are dangerous to all of us.

I do not want anyone hurt or killed--no matter what political party they belong to.
