Kinzinger to Trump Admin.: ‘What Are You Going to Do? Threaten Me with Something I Didn’t Do?’

‘I have absolutely zero fear of these people’

EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: "Sure. Yeah, I mean, look, and I have absolutely zero fear of these people because, like, I mean, okay, what, are you going to threaten me with something that I didn‘t do? Okay. But yeah, on this case, look, I think — I think this is clear because Donald Trump has said this since really the day of James Comey, which is he wants to get retribution, he wants to get back at him. And I think he gave marching orders, which is, 'Find a reason to charge him or investigate him, at least.' They‘re probably not going to be charged with anything, but an investigation is something that is basically all-encompassing and life-altering. This is all pure intimidation. Like, they do the, you know, some aspects of the media, like, they do to — anybody that‘s an enemy of them politically, they will try to intimidate and scare you. And America, listen, don‘t be scared. Don‘t be scared. They only have as much power as you believe they have. And so I think — I think they‘re going to fight this. They‘re going to fight this tooth and nail. And we‘ll probably see, if it actually does end up going to charges, that they will absolutely crush the government in court."
