Fire up the popcorn folks! President Trump chooses his words very carefully, and he doesn’t say anything haphazardly or by random chance. So having him come right out and say he’d love to see James Comey and John Brennan arrested on live TV is a massive signal. I believe he already knows this is imminent, and he’s now pre-conditioning the public to warm up to the idea. BREAKING: President Trump says seeing James Comey and John Brennan arrested on live TV “would not bother him at all.” pic.twitter.com/ZQ67wulIcJ — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) August 30, 2025 It all comes from his latest interview with the Daily Caller: EXCLUSIVE: Trump tells the Daily Caller that seeing James Comey and John Brennan arrested on live TV “would not bother me at all.” https://t.co/lsmMKcxmjF pic.twitter.com/Zqnz4FieVN — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) August 30, 2025 Here are more details, from The Daily Caller: The following is an unedited excerpt from the interview. A full transcript will be made available Monday. DAILY CALLER WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT REAGAN REESE: I want to ask you about Russiagate. Director Gabbard has declassified Russiagate documents. They’re explosive. She’s referred the case to the DOJ. Cartelville Text PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: By the way, she’s coming along, right? REESE: Yeah. Do you think there are going to be arrests? Who do you think is going to be arrested, and how quickly? TRUMP: I don’t know if there’s going to be. There should be. What they did is a disgrace. They cheated, they lied, they did so many bad things, evil things that were so bad for the country, and because they did something to me that should have never been done, nobody thought they’d ever do that. Actually, when I left, nobody thought that would happen. They get – they just went crazy. They’re bad people. They’re sick people. They’re the ones that committed all the crimes. We didn’t commit crimes. They committed all the crimes, there should be, I can’t tell you whether or not because I really I don’t have to stay uninvolved. I’m allowed to stay involved, but I purposely don’t get involved. I can say that they should be arrested. TRUMP: They lied, they cheated, they did everything you can do that’s illegal, and then they accused — it’s amazing, even I see it now with me. They say he’s actually looking to arrest him. What the hell did they do with me? You know? And then they’ll say he’s – they make it sound like I’m a bad guy. I had to have a mug shot taken, right? Yeah, these are bad people. They’re sick people, and, you know, the press plays along with it. But they should be. I mean, I’m probably answering the question more than you think I should. They should be [arrested] because they’re crooked and they got caught. REESE: So James Comey and John Brennan, would you be comfortable seeing them handcuffed and arrested live on TV? TRUMP: Would not bother me at all. REAGAN: Do you think it’s a possibility? TRUMP: See, I wouldn’t have answered that question that way four years ago. Do you understand that? I wouldn’t. Because, well, Hillary’s a good example. We had Hillary cold. I didn’t want to see that. I didn’t want the, you know, the wife of a president, to go to jail, but she was stone cold guilty of things. And if you remember, at the, at the big rallies, I’d say, ‘Alright, take it easy.’ You know, they’d all say, ‘Lock her up. Lock her up.’ After we won, before I won, just, they could do whatever they wanted. After I won – yeah, I was very gracious. And I assumed that, you know, I was a president, we had a great first term, first, not like this one, though.

If you look at the first term of this, you know, we had a great first and we had a great economy. We rebuilt the military, we did the wall, we did the whole thing. And we did great on immigration. But the thing is, that immigration was peanuts compared to what they left me, because when I mean they left, people were coming in, millions of people a month. Remember that they had a period of time, seven months, when anybody in the world just poured into this place, and we have to, we have to get them out, because they’re very, very dangerous. TRUMP: No, if, depending on what they find, they’re guilty, they’re guilty. They’re bad people, and they are very, very sick people, beyond bad. They’re sick.
