The former president made the claim in a new book, titled Save America, which is a collection of pictures and anecdotes from his presidential campaigns and term in office.
Yeah I was kind of curious as to how this story would be spun into a negative story against Trump. Anyone who does something illegal should be sentenced appropriately. Maybe "the president can't set the sentence" will be the tack with this one?
Fair enough. The "perfect phone call" was actually pretty bad, it's the one case against him that I think probably has a lot of merit. I was thinking at the time that it was probably illegal.
I mean something like 10 to 20 years sounds fair to me if that's the appropriate sentence (IDK what election interference sentences look like), which would probably end up being the rest of his life anyways

That says more about you than it does about the story.
Remember when his senior DOJ staff threatened to quit when he told them that a yes-man would be their boss and help overturn the election? Trump's whole administration was about corrupting the executive branch.
He is a racist traitor who doesn't belong anywhere near power; he should be in prison.
Anyone who continues to support him is a reactionary traitor, too.
The logical line of "when the guy I don't like says anything, he really means what I say he means" is pretty errant and toxic. I cringe when the right does it too, "you can tell a Democrat is lying because they've opened their mouth". It's stupid and ridiculous.
IDK what happened for sure at the cemetery, I'd need some footage and to read up on the pertaining law a little before I make a judgement on that.
I don't know if you've kept your head buried in the sand for 8 years, but all we've seen is Trump proving that he believes any perceived wrongdoing to himself is a crime. It's a CEO philosophy of fire anyone that disagrees.

The US Army releasing a statement that a) what Trump and his campaign did there was illegal and b) that they physically attacked the person who tried to stop them from breaking the law isn't good enough for you? When it's Trump you need footage and to do some "research" before accepting any facts, huh? What a joke.

Why would it be? Does the government tell the truth all the time?
Yeah, how can the potential next head of state threatening a specific individual with an arbitrary sentence of life imprisonment for some vague charge like "doing anything illegal" possibly be spun into a negative story?
I think it's Trump trying to find a way. In specific, find a way to do something outside of his presidential powers.
He wanted to "lock her up" with Hillary too. Were you one of the people chanting that? Have you noticed she hasn't been locked up yet even though he had four years to do it?
