Megyn Kelly 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, porn star Stormy Daniels to hide extramarital affairs and now faces jail time.
Kelly lashed out at the verdict on Twitter minutes after it was issued, calling for the district attorney who prosecuted him to be banned from practicing law.

‘The country is disgraced. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. They will rue the day they unleashed this legal war to corrupt a presidential election,” he wrote.
Kelly followed up with a six-minute rant on his SiriusXM podcast in which he warned that prosecuting Trump meant Democrats could do it, too.
She predicted ‘tit-for-tat’ accusations against anyone from President Joe Biden and his wife Jill to former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and Hilary Clinton.
‘This is ridiculous. What a sad day! The country has fallen into disgrace. That’s what happened,” she began.
‘We haven’t done this for almost 250 years. And now, due to falsified business records, we have convicted a former president of the United States as a criminal.
Kelly argued that the case against Trump was so insignificant that if Republicans looked hard enough they could build one against former Democratic presidents.
‘Don’t you 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 the United States. We are not a banana republic, or at least we weren’t before.
More to come.
