President Donald Trump says the public can expect to see more indictments — of Democrats — after his hand-picked former personal attorney secured a grand jury indictment of one of the President’s top political enemies, Jim Comey—just days after Trump urged that his Attorney General take action against the former FBI Director.
Comey was indicted Thursday evening on two counts, including making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding, according to NBC News.
Asked by a reporter Friday morning, “who is the next person on your list?” Trump insisted, “It’s not a list, but I think there’ll be others.”
The others, Trump said, are Democrats.
“I mean, they’re corrupt,” Trump charged. “These, uh, these were corrupt, radical left Democrats,” he said, not naming names.
Claiming that Comey, a Republican turned independent in 2016, “essentially was a Democrat,” Trump went on to call him “worse than a Democrat.”
“I would say the Democrats are better than Comey. But, uh, no, they’ll be others,” Trump said. “That’s my opinion.”
Early Friday morning Trump praised the Comey indictment, writing on social media, “James ‘Dirty Cop’ Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid!”
