General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

Trump keeps showing America what a crook he is:

Fox News contributor and former chief assistant U.S. attorney Andrew McCarthy told Trump via Twitter that he might want to pick a different word.

Sir, in mobster lingo, a ‘rat’ is a witness who tells prosecutors real incriminating info. Perhaps a different word? Searches of lawyer’s offices common enough that DOJ has a procedure for them. Here it yielded evidence of crimes you said he should be jailed for. You should stop.

Remember, Michael Cohen only became a “Rat” after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE! Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked’s office?

McCarthy wasn’t the only one to point out the definition:

I worked mafia cases for years in SDNY, mainly Gambino and Genovese. I usually hesitate to make this comparison but here it is completely warranted. This - calling somebody who provides information to law enforcement a “rat” - is straight up mob boss language.

This use of the word rat was invented by criminals to describe a criminal who tells the truth.

I’ve never heard a public official call someone cooperating with law enforcement a “rat” until Trump did. That is a term criminals use.

Trump's lack of knowledge about criminal justice is mind boggling. Prosecutors obtain "search warrants" from federal judges by showing probable cause, in compliance with the 4th Amendment, as they did to search Cohen. Trump only sees rats & witch hunts in cases where he's at risk

Donald J. Trump


Replying to @realDonaldTrump
Do you realize that by calling a “rat” you’re admitting he had something to rat on you with? Are you really this dumb?

Wrote back in August, this president uses lexicon of a gangster. Whatever one thinks of M. Cohen — for @POTUS to call him a “rat” — utterly disgraceful & unconscionable.

And, DOJ doesn’t “break into” attorney offices w/o cause, warrant approved by judge. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/trump-is-acting-like-a-mob-boss-i-know-because-i-lived-with-one?_amp=true …

The Trump Sucks are supporting a guy who uses mob language to describe someone who cooperates with law enforcement. The Trumpanzees are showing their true colors as anti law enforcement and pro crook. Of course their hero, tRump, is a crook.

Ray, It's amazing isn't it? The GOP was once the "law and order" party, and they're silent as we watch #45 talk like a mafia capo, calling a man who cooperated with law enforcement a "rat!" I try not to be surprised when I see the GOP aiding and abetting a corrupt, venal, serial adulterer like Trump. But #45 continues to act like a criminal, therefore, I continue to be surprised at how many of our fellow Americans continue to support the crook.
