Regime may try assassinating Trump next, says former NYC police commissioner
A day after the FBI’s 30-agent raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate shocked the nation, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said the Biden regime may resort to assassination to stop Trump’s presidential bid in 2024.
“I hear people talking, they said the Democrats want this guy so bad that they wouldn’t put assassination behind it,” Kerik told Newsmax Tuesday.
“I’m gonna tell you something. They’ve tried impeachment, they’ve tried another impeachment, they’ve tried one investigation after another. This is about one thing, this is about stopping him from running in 2024,” he added.
“I’m not into conspiracies, I’m not into anti-government rhetoric. This is the first time in my lifetime that I would say I am deathly afraid for Donald Trump. I would not put assassination behind these people.”
Kerik repeated his concern on social media, joining many other Americans who say the United States has turned into a third-world authoritarian country.
“And just like in other Third World countries, if today’s raid by Biden’s FBI does not stop Donald Trump from running for president in 2024, their next move will be Assassination,” tweeted Kerik.
Kerik’s post came in response to one by former Acting National Intelligence Director Richard Grenell, who said that “Third World dictators prosecute their political enemies. @JoeBiden has weaponized the US government for his political purposes. It’s outrageous. And creating a terrible precedent.”
The FBI’s pretext for the surprise raid was to recover 15 boxes of documents belonging to the National Archives, which allegedly contained information related to national security. So far, there is no record of the FBI previously requesting the documents via an informal process or subpoena. The bureau also broke into Trump’s safe without a warrant.
But legal experts are currently debating whether an indictment would indeed stop Trump from running in 2024.
“If Trump is convicted under this federal statute, he would be prohibited from holding any office including the office of the president,” said former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.
But attorney and political commentator Ben Shapiro disagrees.
“BTW, for those claiming that a violation of law regarding classified documents would prevent Trump from running, nope -- the statutory penalties for any such violation do not overcome the Constitution definition of qualifications for eligibility,” Shapiro tweeted Tuesday.
