Several witnesses including the states former Lieutenant Governor now indicated theyve been called to investigate and a grand jury on tuesday. In washington, d. C. , jack smith, the doj Special Counsel prosecutor, has called for a new case to start on january 2nd loss in five months from now. So what happens if trump is convicted and sentenced to prison especially the side of an election . What will his supporters do . My nbc news colleague asked one of them at a rally in New Hampshire on tuesday. If donald trump were to be found guilty by a jury, where do you see this going . Civil war. Because we cant live together obviously. Now you might just dismiss that as the rantings of occultists trump superfan. This country is nowhere near civil war. Thats hyperbole.
