Can we wait until he commits a crime, has a fair trial, and gets sentenced first? I realize that the sheer hatred against Donald Trump is such that most of the left just want him locked up without reason, or just because "they know" he is guilty of unspecified crimes, but without due process just locking him up would be a sign the USA is in fact a banana republic(which some of us realize after this fishing expedition and storming of Trumps home on flimsy excuses).

 

 What stands out to me most, is that this visceral hatred of Trump is for such reasons that he cheated Mrs Clinton out of her win because he colluded with Vladimir Putin to cheat in the 2016 election, he got peed on by hookers in a bed that Barack Obama slept in when he was on a Russian trip, he called the military "suckers and losers", he forced his way on to Stormy Daniels, his supporters put a noose around the neck of and sprayed bleach onto a young LGBT black actor, and on and on. Sounds like such a terrible guy. Yet all these reasons for hatred were all hoaxes. All big fat lies ginned up to smear Donald Trump and cause those without well developed critical thinking skills to blindly hate the man.

 

And here we are. Good luck Mr Trump.

One would think that stealing from a charity, scamming students with a fake university, cheating at golf, tax shirking, draft dodging, wife cheating, bankrupt, caught robbing the inauguration funds, election fraudster, inept, unprepared, lazy, habitual liar, racist, bigot, childish, hothead, homophobe that cheats contractors & acting like an imbecile embarrassing himself and country would be enough to turn some people off.

Some people actually like him.

Well, more likely a necessary move if the choice is between losing money or going to prison. This way, since he's said nothing, there's no testimony to use in a criminal prosecution. But as already pointed out, it does hurt his chances in a civil case.

I thought that you had been following the news and would have known about it :

 

 

"Today, to have 30 FBI agents, actually more than that, descend on Mar-a-Largo, give absolutely no notice, go through the gate, start ransacking an office, ransacking a closet, you know — they broke into a safe. He didn't even have anything in the safe," Eric Trump told Fox News.

Uncouth FBI agents not to have given any notice. Surely they could have sent a card with an RSVP.

Exactly. He doesn't need that money now anyway. His new scam of getting millions of chumps to send him money is a solid gold renewable source of funds. If he tears the country apart while doing so, well so be it. Trump is all that matters to Trump.

What's the liklihood that a billionaire in a hundred room mansion has an empty safe?

In movies they do. Money in fridge.

Trump gave economy 1.9% inflation.

Biden gives economy 9.1% inflation.

Hatred of Trump is inspired by Democrat misleading media.

This raid on Mar a Lago is proof that US will be the new USSR

if Democrats retain power.

The FBI had requested numerous papers from Donald ?

Maybe Donald had given the FBI all his papers and there was nothing left in the safe ?

Yes this! Because nothing about 45's 4 years and Biden's 2 were different! No need for further analysis or nuance!

 

BTW Obama's was 1.4... I guess he wins in your mind.

I do not know if its only me but somehow I feel that there are discussions, investigations, even raids, long lists of criminal facts, plus endless other activities of all sorts of comitees but de facto nothing substantial is really happening.

 

No indictment, no court case - just nothing of substantial real importance to him. The Donald must bubble over with laughter. Maybe he does not even care (much). The lawyers will take care of it and the US legal system seems to protect him in many ways.

Dont forget that Trump will get jailed as soon as he leaves office , because being President protects him from the law and being prosecuted , as I recall being told a few years ago

Biden would actually pardon him before that happened. The precedent has been set.

He's already committed crimes that got him impeached. Twice. The walls are closing in. People have had enough of this grifter's nose-thumbing at laws he feels apply to everyone but him. He even tightened the laws that will bite him in the a$$. I personally can't wait.

While I don't think it will ever come to that, I wouldn't bet on Sleepy Joe carrying water for the traffic cone of treason.

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but there is momentum building to FINALLY hold him accountable.

How anyone can listen to him for more than 30 seconds without realizing what a conman he is is absolutely perplexing. I honestly don't get how anyone can buy his bullsh!t.

Well, his lawyers have been doing a great job putting the brakes on judicial processes. Although eventually theyi keep on losing. Which is par for the course if you're a Trump lawyer. It look like at least some of that delay has reached an end.

Do you know the film "Jacob's Ladder" (1990). I felt first a bit like that reading your comment. Or am I dreaming ? No - not the case, just performed a reality check. So I must be right to assume that he HAS left office and he is NOT president anymore but someone called Biden ?

 

So why should he not be accountable and somehow being protected from being prosecuted ?
