Trump’s reaction had a measured and reasonable tone. Just kidding – he went straight to throwing around 1930s Germany comparisons.

Merrick Garland just said that this was the largest investigation in our country’s history.
Quite the feather in Donald Trump’s cap.

He tried to overthrow an election. He tried to halt the peaceful transfer of power. Yes, he deserves to be indicted & convicted for what he did, but this also must be said again: Donald Trump is a traitor to this country. He tried to end our democracy. He’s a fucking traitor.
