CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings was quick to seize on a telling clip of a CNN panel essentially admitting that Democrats weaponized the legal system against President Donald J. Trump.

America is teetering on the brink of totalitarianism, folks.

I would think a smart prosecutor could put together a RICO case. Democrats went way beyond political opposition. They literally tried to overthrow a democratically elected President & even CNN knows it. @AGPamBondi @EagleEdMartin @DAGToddBlanche @AAGDhillon @JudgeJeanine

They said the quiet part out loud. They are admitting that it was all an effort to “stop Trump”. Everyone involved should be prosecuted for this banana republic crap they pulled. Everyone!!
