Trump Makes Chilling Vow to Impose ‘Long Term Prison Sentences’ on Those Who Engaged in 2020 Election ‘Cheating and Skullduggery’

Former President Donald Trump made a stunning pledge to pursue criminal prosecutions against those he claims engaged in “cheating” in the 2020 election.

In a post to his Truth Social platform Saturday, Trump warned he is “watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election” — and vowed revenge against those he feels engaged in fraud in 2020.

“I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump wrote. “It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again.”

Trump went on to list those who would potentially be charged during a second Trump administration.

“Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials,” Trump wrote. “Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

Countles fact checks over the past four years have found no evidence of voter fraud even approaching a level that would have impacted the outcome of the 2020 election. Trump and his allies brought 62 cases alleging various improprieties in the 2020 election. They lost all but one minor case in Pennsylvania, and even that one was later overturned.

In public comments, Trump has repeatedly hinted at a desire to seek revenge against his political enemies (which has been corroborated by reporting). This new post seems to be his most explicit threat yet against those who he believes wronged him.
