Trump suggests he would use FBI to go after political rivals if elected in 2024
Trump said: ‘If I happen to be president and I see somebody doing well and beating me very badly, I say go down and indict them’
 Hilary Clinton warns that the insurrectionist, if he makes himself president, would eliminate further elections, much as Hitler did. We can be sure of this, because he tells us his hostile intentions himself.
