“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be PROSECUTED Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials.” HITLER kept his “Night of the Long Knives” SECRET. TRUMP IS BROADCASTING his “NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES”

 The Night of the Long Knives

(German: Nacht der langen Messerⓘ), also called the Röhm purge or Operation Hummingbird (German: Unternehmen Kolibri), was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from 30 June to 2 July 1934. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, urged on by Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler, ordered a series of political extrajudicial executions intended to consolidate his power and alleviate the concerns of the German military about the role of Ernst Röhm and the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazis' paramilitary organization, known colloquially as "Brownshirts".

“In a new late-night unhinged rant on the eve of his debate with VP Harris, Trump issued a “cease and desist” letter to the American voter, threatening to conduct MASS ARRESTS AND JAIL for long prison sentences for his political opponents if he wins, including lawyers, election workers, voters, and donors. Michael Popok analyzes how this “exhibit a” only proves that 200 Republican leaders are right and that Trump can’t be allowed anywhere near the White House ever again.”

“CEASE & DESIST,” Mr. Trump wrote in his post. “I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election.”

Mr. Trump’s post continued: “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.

“We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

He later posted the message to X, the website formerly known as Twitter, where he has a significantly larger following than he does on Truth Social.

In response to Mr. Trump’s post, Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic election lawyer who recently joined Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign team, wrote on X: “We won’t let Donald Trump intimidate us. We won’t let him suppress the vote. We won’t let him subvert the election. We won’t let him cheat. We will fight and we will WIN.”

Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for prosecutions against people who he believes have wronged him.

After he was indicted by the federal government for the first time in 2023, Mr. Trump vowed to have a “real special prosecutor” who would go after President Biden and his family if he won the presidency in 2024.

On Friday, speaking to reporters in the lobby of Trump Tower, in Manhattan, Mr. Trump said the criticisms of judges by Democrats “should be illegal” and that the Justice Department should look into “the legality of these people” attacking jurists like Aileen Cannon, the federal judge he appointed who recently dismissed an indictment against him. That indictment accused Mr. Trump of wrongly retaining classified information after he left office and obstructing the investigation into it.

Also on Friday, while he accepted an endorsement from the Fraternal Order of Police, Mr. Trump urged police officers to “watch for the voter fraud.” If the police were to follow through on that appeal, their actions could conflict with multiple state laws and prompt accusations of voter intimidation.

“Believe it or not, they’re afraid of that badge, they’re afraid of you people,” Mr. Trump said.
