Trump calls for 'the biggest protest we have ever had' in DC and other cities if prosecutors investigating him 'do anything illegal'
ashoaib@insider.com (Alia Shoaib)
At a rally in Texas, Trump called for nationwide protests if prosecutors investigating him "do anything illegal."
Trump faces various investigations into his actions as president and his financial affairs.
He sought to link the investigations to his baseless claim that the 2020 election was rigged.
Speaking at a Texas rally, former President Donald Trump called for nationwide protests if prosecutors investigating him and his businesses "do anything illegal."
In the speech, he appeared to link the investigations to his baseless claim that the 2020 election was rigged, which led to the January 6 Capitol riot.
"If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had in Washington DC, in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt," Trump told the crowd in Conroe, Texas on Saturday night.
Since leaving office, Trump has faced a flurry of investigations into his actions as president and his private businesses.
"In reality, they're not after me, they're after you, and I just happen to be the person in the way," Trump told his supporters at the rally.
The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection is probing Trump's actions on that day and is considering whether Trump or his allies committed any crimes.
The Trump Organization's financial dealings are also the subject of years-long investigations from the New York attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney's office.
According to New York Attorney General Letitia James, her office has so far uncovered "significant evidence" that the Trump Organization used fraudulent and misleading asset valuations on multiple properties.
"For years, they've been going after my company, many years, using every trick in the book in an attempt to literally, if they can, put me in jail. They want to put me in jail," Trump said at the rally on Saturday.
The former president repeatedly called the prosecutors "racist," said they were "mentally sick," and accused them of "prosecutorial misconduct at the highest level."
"They're going after me without any protection of my rights by the Supreme Court or most other courts," Trump said.
On several occasions, Trump has appealed to the US Supreme Court to try and prevent investigators from obtaining documents and records relating to their probes.
This month, the Supreme Court denied his request to block the January 6 committee from obtaining presidential records, which he tried to withhold by citing executive privilege.
Last year, the Supreme Court also rejected a challenge from Trump to keep his tax returns secret. -

More musicians join Neil Young in demanding Spotify remove their content over covid misinformation
Annabelle Timsit
A controversy over coronavirus misinformation on Spotify is heating up, with a handful of musicians this weekend joining Neil Young in saying they want their music off the streaming platform as it continues to host provocative podcaster Joe Rogan.
Rock musician Nils Lofgren, best known as a member of Crazy Horse and Bruce Springsteenâs E Street Band, on Saturday became the latest artist to join a protest kicked off by Young, saying in a statement that he, too, would âcut ties with Spotifyâ and urged âall musicians, artists and music lovers everywhereâ to do the same. Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell also said she plans to remove her music from Spotify in solidarity with Young âand the global scientific and medical communities.â
Separately, Brene Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston who hosts the popular podcasts âUnlocking Usâ and âDare to Leadâ on Spotify, tweeted Saturday that she âwill not be releasing any podcasts until further noticeâ but did not list a specific reason or whether the announcement was linked to the broader uproar. The Post could not immediately reach Brown for comment.
The latest developments are escalating pressure on Spotify to weigh in further on how it will weigh promoting the free speech of its content creators against the impact that some can have on public health during the pandemic. The company is seeking to dominate the podcast space and faces growing scrutiny as the medium attracts more anti-vaccine activists who run afoul of misinformation policies on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
And competitors appear to be seeking to take advantage of the brouhaha: Apple Music on Friday called itself the âthe home of Neil Youngâ in a tweet promoting his catalogue.
Lofgren and Mitchell in their statements said they stood in solidarity with Young, who collaborated with Crazy Horse to produce many well-known albums. Young who had demanded his music be taken off the streaming platform in response to the presence of âfake information about vaccinesâ in some of the content it hosts.
The letter, which was posted to his website and has since been removed, cited Joe Rogan, who hosts âThe Joe Rogan Experience,â as part of Youngâs issue with Spotify. âThey can have Rogan or Young,â the legendary musician reportedly wrote. âNot both.â
Spotify soon began removing Youngâs music from its catalogue, including his best-known hits such as âHeart of Gold,â âHarvest Moonâ and âRockinâ in the Free World.â
Conspiracy theorists, banned on major social networks, connect with audiences on newsletters and podcasts
Mitchell, whose renowned album âBlueâ just turned 50, wrote in a statement on her website on Friday that she âdecided to remove allâ her music from Spotify because âirresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives.â
Joni Mitchell pulls music from Spotify in stand with Neil Young against covid misinformation
Spotify, in a statement previously provided to The Washington Post acknowledged the balancing act. âWe want all the worldâs music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators,â a Spotify spokesperson said.
âWe have detailed content policies in place and weâve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to covid-19 since the start of the pandemic," the statement continued. "We regret Neilâs decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.â
Spotify pulls Neil Youngâs music after his ultimatum regarding Joe Rogan and âfake information about vaccinesâ
Rogan, whose immensely popular podcast Spotify exclusively acquired in 2020, has questioned the need for young, healthy people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, and hosted guests who have promoted conspiracy theories about the pandemic.
Joe Rogan is using his wildly popular podcast to question vaccines. Experts are fighting back.
Earlier this month, 270 experts called on Spotify in an open letter to âimmediately establish a clear and public policy to moderate misinformation on its platform.â
The experts particularly criticized an episode of âThe Joe Rogan Experienceâ in which Rogan interviewed Robert Malone, a doctor and prominent skeptic of the coronavirus vaccines, as an example of the podcastâs âconcerning history of broadcasting misinformation, particularly regardingâ the pandemic.
A vaccine scientistâs discredited claims have bolstered a movement of misinformation
The episode âis not the only transgression to occur on the Spotify platform, but a relevant example of the platformâs failure to mitigate the damage it is causing,â the experts wrote.
Young in a statement posted to his website on Wednesday said he âfirst learnedâ of the prevalence of misinformation around the pandemic on Spotify âby reading that 200 plus doctors had joined forces, taking on the dangerous life-threatening COVID falsehoods found in SPOTIFY programming,â
âI am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others,â he wrote on Friday.

Trumpâs Cheerleaders Forget How Weak He Was With Putin
Opinion by David Rothkopf
You would think that given the fact Donald Trump was impeached for illegally withholding congressionally approved aid to Ukraine, his supporters might take the current crisis as an opportunity to have a seat.
You would think that since Trump in June 2020 advocated for drawing down U.S. troops in Germany, and after having spent years weakening NATO with his attacks and criticisms, that the current urgent need for strength within the Western alliance would have Trumpists hitting their own mute buttons.
You would think that with Russia threatening the international order over the possibility of invading a sovereign neighbor, the Trump-cheering section would dial it down a bit given the 45th presidentâs signature public toadying to Vladimir Putin, the man who single-handedly created the current crisis.
You might even think that since the response of the Biden administration to the current Russian threat has been dramatically more robust than the responses of the last three administrationsâ to Putinâs aggressions, incursions, and violations of international law, that Team Trump might even offer up a little praise for the current president. After all, even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell did, for goodness sakes. There are vital national security interests at stake, after all.
This is precisely the sort of moment when, historically, Americaâs political parties have tried to tone down their partisan bickering and present a united front to the world. But no, not this GOP.
Even with Trump not occupying the White House, Republicans and the warped cogs in their giant message machine continue to see their mission as strengthening not the U.S. and our allies, but Russia; and serving not the national interests, but their own political self-interests.
Drawing on the Trump playbook, their approach is not only facts be damned, but that history never happened. It is once again: âWho are you going to believe, us or your lying eyes?â
They are taking short-term memory loss and turning into a movement, making cognitive dysfunction a requirement for admission into a MAGA fairyland in which rivers of Fox News disinformation continue to flow from the well-springs of Russian propaganda, in which heroes are magically transformed into villains, friends into enemies, and good into evil.
(Remember the hubbub in 2020 about science possibly having discovered a parallel universe in which key laws of physics were reversed? Sorry, science, but we did not need a complicated experiment in Antarctica searching for high-energy particles from outer space to find it. All you had to do was watch Tucker Carlson, the top-rated Fox News host who has gone so far off the deep end with his pro-Kremlin rants that even Russian media is worried his lunacy reflects badly on them.)
The frozen seafood heir turned human fountain of anti-American bullshit is not, however, the only Republican seeking the limelight these days to spew indefensible nonsense that only draws attention to their own past failings.
Mike Pompeo, the former secretary of state, wrote an op-ed for Fox News headlined: âRussia-Ukraine conflict puts Biden administrationâs weakness on full display.â
It opens with a giant self-inflicted wound, making the case that the current administration is showing âabject weaknessâ by arguing that Biden was weak with Iranâignoring the Trump administrationâs gift to Iran of pulling the U.S. out of the nuclear treaty, thus freeing Iran to ramp up their region-destabilizing nuclear program, as has happened. Pompeo also says Biden was weak in Afghanistan for finally pulling the U.S. out of its longest warâan act that was hastened by Pompeoâs own negotiations with the Taliban and Trumpâs decision to cut and run at an earlier date in a manner that would have been even more devastating. And Pompeo slams Biden for failing to be tough with Chinaâa country with which Trump and his kids canoodled for profit even while he was in office.
But reality ainât no thing to Pompeo, a man who all by himself is the answer to the question, âWhatâs the Matter with Kansas?â
So, letâs go to the tape. What has Biden done?
Reject Putinâs demands? Check.
Prepare massive, multi-tiered sanctions against Russia that are ready to go into effect the minute Russian troops cross the border? Check.
Guarantee to support Ukraine? Check.
Rally the allies? Check.
Not noted, of course, in Pompeoâs prescription, were the steps the Trump team took to cozy up to Russia, undercut relations with Ukraine by firing an effective ambassador and withholding aid in exchange for help with a domestic political agenda, regularly criticize NATO, andâas noted aboveâwithdraw US troops from Europe that are now central to Bidenâs strong response to this crisis.
Pompeo is not alone.
The âBiden is weakâ chorus in Foxlandia has been strong and incorporated many of those who, along with Trump, dramatically weakened Americaâs standing in the world. (If you donât think Putinâs current threat to Ukraine was based in part on his calculation that Trumpâs divisiveness and assault on U.S. democracy has weakened us, then you are not paying attention.)
Human weathervane Nikki Haleyâwho, like her colleagues, does not seem to remember Trumpâs shameful display of kissing up to Putin at the expense of the U.S. intelligence community in Helsinkiâstated: âRussia smells blood in the water because we have never had a president as weak as Joe Biden.â
Former Trump Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who undermined the U.S. intelligence community by turning his post atop it into a political operation regularly contradicting the findings of his own people, also had the audacity to criticize Bidenâwho has been put into the position of spending much of his term undoing the damage done by Trump and his team.
Who else chimed in? None other than disgraced former Speaker of the House turned crackpot-for-hire Newt Gingrich. He not only repeated the canards about Biden and Putin, but he argued that Biden was also weak on China.
The reality is: Biden pulled out of Afghanistan to complete the pivot to Asia that others have discussed but not made a reality, elevated the core Pacific alliance known as the Quad with its first leaders summit, created a new security alliance in the region with AUKUS, and brought a new realism to U.S.-China policy, framing the strategic competition between the two countries in tougher terms than any of his modern predecessors.
The reality also holds that Trumpâs record on Russiaâand the damage he did with our allies and at homeâset the stage for the crisis that Biden and his team are expertly managing today. Donât forget Trump said on the campaign trail that he would consider lifting sanctions on Russia and recognizing occupied Crimea as Russian land. His rationale? âThe people of Crimea,â Trump said, âfrom what Iâve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were.â
Gingrich is worried Bidenâs not being tough enough on Russia and China? Trump lobbied to have Russia be allowed to rejoin the G7âwhich had previously booted Russia from its membership after the theft of Crimea from Ukraine. Trump even blamed the invasion of Crimea on Barack Obama, rather than Putin, saying it was Obamaâs fault âbecause Putin didnât respect President Obama, didnât respect our country.â
In other words, not only are the GOP critiques of Bidenâs handling of this crisis completely out of place, they are stunningly hypocritical and stunningly cravenâeven for this group of compulsive liars. Itâs all part of a calculated disinformation campaign designed to both inflame the GOP base while also providing cover for the manifold errors and betrayals of the Trump years.
Finally, the GOP slanders are proof that, once again, the Trumpist GOPâs initial response to almost everything is projection. In their accusations that Biden is weak they reveal not only their fear that he is actually strong, but are projecting their own desperate weaknesses in bearing the impossible burden of having to defend their records as part of the worst of any American administration in history. -

Michael Flynn claims Covid was invented by Soros, Gates and others to defeat Trump in bizarre conspiracy theory
Graeme Massie
Michael Flynn has claimed Covid was invented by George Soros, Bill Gates and others in order to defeat Donald Trump.
The former three star general and adviser to the ex-president ranted about the pandemic during an appearance on the far right-wing Infowars website.
Mr Flynn has become a leading figure in the QAnon conspiracy theory movement, and even suggested that the US military consider a Myanmar-style coup.
He told Infowars that the World Health Organization, the United Nations and other groups âsee themselves as âthis is how we can rule the world, this is how we can control societies, this is how we can control humanity.â
âSo letâs introduce something called Covid, and they did it, and they did it for a couple of reasons, one of the big reasons was to steal an election,â he said.
Michael Flynn claims Covid was invented by Soros and Gates to defeat Trump in bizarre conspiracy theory
âIf the Democrats worked as hard on foreign policy as they did on stealing the election maybe we would be better off.â
Mr Flynn then listed a string of regular right-wing targets as being the ones pulling the strings of global power.
âWhen you start to look at who is directing them, and who is leading them, there are real people behind it, I mean (Klaus) Schwab is one, George Soros, you have the Arabella Group, these are real things, led by real people who have placed themselves above â you know Gates is another one â who have placed themselves above some of these world institutions and they drive them, they really do drive them.â
Last week it was announced the Mr Flynn, as well as Rudy Giuliani, will be stripped of his honorary degrees by the University of Rhode Island.
The move comes after the institutionâs Board of Trustees voted unanimously to uphold the honorary degree committees recommendation to revoke them.
Action was taken because university officials believe both men, who have supported Mr Trumpâs false stolen election claims, âno longer represent the highest level of our values and standardsâ.
Mr Flynn, a 1981 graduate from the university and three star army general, had been awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.
He was Donald Trumpâs national security adviser for just 24 days before resigning in disgrace and twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia.
He eventually received a presidential pardon from Mr Trump. -

Donald Trump should not lead the country again, says the Republican leader of the National Governors Association
ngaudiano@insider.com (Nicole Gaudiano)
Trump dropped the biggest hint yet that he'll run for president again in 2024.
NGA Chairman Asa Hutchinson, the Republican governor of Arkansas, is against that idea.
He told Insider Trump shouldn't lead Republicans or the country again.
The Republican chairman of the National Governors Association said on Saturday that Donald Trump should not lead Republicans or the country again.
"I do not believe Trump is the one to lead our party and our country again, as president," Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson told Insider on the sidelines of the NGA Winter Meeting in Washington, DC.
Insider asked Hutchinson whether he wants Trump to run following a video that recently surfaced in which Trump declares on the golf course that he is "the 45th and the 47th" president.
Asked who should lead instead, Hutchinson said "that's what the election is all about."
There's many choices out there, he added.
"And, you know, the Republican Party has many different voices," Hutchinson said. "And it's important in this time to have those voices and they should be concentrating on this election cycle."
Hutchinson, a two-term governor, was one of the first Republican governors to publicly push Trump to start a transition process with President Joe Biden after the 2020 election. He has said that Trump's continued attempts to discredit the 2020 election results could be a "disaster" for Republican candidates running for office this year.
"I've made it clear: This is about the future," he told Insider. "It's not about the past elections."
Earlier, he told reporters, "I don't believe the election was stolen. I respect the results."
Trump's golf course comments are the latest, and perhaps most pointed, in a series of hints that he plans to run for president in 2024.
To become an official candidate, Trump would have to raise or spend more than $5,000 specifically in support of a presidential campaign effort to officially register as a presidential candidate, according to Federal Election Commission guidelines. -
