President Donald J. Trump delivered a short, succinct message to Republican prosecutors across the country — it’s time to play by the Left’s rules.

Trump, who is facing a pair of federal indictments in addition to indictments in Georgia and New York, said the weaponization of justice being used against him is unprecedented.

“You ought to watch, and frankly it’s an eye for an eye or it’s fight fire with fire,” he said. “What they’re doing to our country is amazing. So, Republicans, I hope you’re watching.”

A poll released on Saturday by the Wall Street Journal showed 59 percent of Republicans asked said Trump is their top pick for President. More than 60 percent of those who responded said the indictments against Trump are political and 78 percent said he did nothing wrong in contesting the 2020 Election results.
