(Daily Mail) Megyn Kelly has warned Democrats that Donald Trump‘s felony conviction opens a ‘Pandora’s box’ that means no one is safe.
Former president Trump was found guilty by a jury of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the so-called ‘hush money’ trial in New York.
Trump covered up payments to, among others, pornstar Stormy Daniels to hide extramarital affairs and now faces jail time.
Kelly lashed out at the verdict on Twitter minutes after it was delivered, calling for the district attorney who prosecuted him to be banned from practicing law.

Former president Donald Trump was found guilty by a jury of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the so-called ‘hush money’ trial in New York.
‘The country is disgraced. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. They will rue the day they unleashed this lawfare to corrupt a presidential election,’ she wrote.
Kelly followed up with a six-minute rant on her SiriusXM podcast in which she warned that prosecuting Trump meant Democrats could be too.
She predicted ‘tit-for-tat’ indictments of anyone from President Joe Biden and his wife Jill to former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton.
‘This is ridiculous. What a sad day. The country’s been disgraced. That’s what’s happened,’ she began.
‘We made it almost 250 years without doing this. And now, because of falsified business records, we’ve convicted as a felon a former president of the US.’
Kelly argued the case against Trump was so petty that if Republicans looked hard enough they could build one against former Democratic presidents.
‘You don’t think we could have done something like this to Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton or others?’ she said.
‘We had a standard. We didn’t do this in America. We aren’t a banana republic, or at least we didn’t used to be.’
Kelly argued the Republicans could retaliate by bringing similarly petty charges against President Joe Biden, and even his wife Jill (pictured together)
A banana republic (not the clothing chain) is a country with an economy almost entirely dependent on exporting its natural resources.
Typically, the country is in the tight grip of a ruling class that exploits the rest through close cooperation with the monopolies doing the exporting.
Kelly claimed Thursday’s verdict was a ‘before and after moment for America’ and meant the country crossed a line ‘we can’t uncross’.
‘These Democrats will rue the day they decided to use lawfare to stop a presidential candidate,’ she said.
‘I’m not talking about violence. I’m talking about tit for tat. You just wait and it won’t be Hunter Biden the next time.
‘It’s going to be Joe Biden. It could potentially still be Barack Obama. It could still potentially be Hillary Clinton.’
Kelly said even popular ex-president Barack Obama could be targeted for indictment
