If Trump is indeed convicted of espionage, then every long term appointment he made while president, including, but not limited to, Supreme Court justices, should be immediately rescinded. 

He hasn't been charged with anything, never mind espionage.

I'm afraid Trump as a rat in trouble is more likely to cause that civil war.

Trump as a rat in trouble is less dangerous IMO than someone with a fistful of nuclear codes; however,you may be right.

Go back and read the many posts speculating about Trump selling classified info to the Russians or selling them for profit and put the onus on them to back up their conspiracy theories.  I don't see you challenging them, Chomper.  Of course those theories all fit with your accepted narrative of Orange Man bad.  Should I laugh now or later?

So Walker88 earns over $400,000 per year? I want to be his best friend.

And you believe they won't come after anyone earning less than 400,000? Fun fact: most audits are on people who earn less than 25,000 at least according to the IRS factbook.

Lol, enjoy your IRS audits.

Not even sure what you are getting at, unless it's an admission that 45 weaponized the IRS, as he did by the 'absolute coincidence' of both Comey and McCabe being selected for audit in the same year.

 

Frankly, I guess I should be proud that I earn enough money and have enough wealth to be considered for audit, though I only had the pleasure once during an 8-figure year. I would feel really bad if, like most of 45 supporters, I was a low-earning, poorly educated, mentally challenged loser Incel on SSDI and from one of those parasite Red States who are the biggest takers from the Federal trough.

First off, the issue would be rate of audits. Given that there are a lot more people earning less than 25,000 than there are earning more than $400,000 that does make a kind of sense. But keep in mind that audits dropped dramatically for the rich as congress starved the IRS of funding. Here's some info from the GAO how audit rates declined from 2010 t0 2019. They declined by over 70%!

 

" On average, the audit rate for these returns decreased from 0.9 percent to 0.25 percent. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials attributed this trend primarily to reduced staffing as a result of decreased funding. Audit rates decreased the most for taxpayers with incomes of $200,000 and above."

And the reason audit rates for those lower income earners declined less is that the process is much more automated. To tackle the complications of a wealthy person income, you need actual people.

Amazing how so many keyboard-bashers don't realise that. so far, it hasn't come up with anything much.

I have read that there's some extreme sensitive confidential documents found in Donald's safe , documents that contain the most private and sensitive material you cam imagine .

   Actually, they are so private and sensitive , that they cannot tell us what it actually is that they contain and cannot even tell us the subject 

   The content is so private and sensitive , they can not tell us what it is . 

And we are going to have to wait for 50 years until the records are made public , that's how private and sensitive the information is
