    1. @Versatile Wolf Everything I listed that Trump needs to be concerned about is no delusion. These cases are in the courts right now. I’m careful with the media. I have found that Reuters, BBC, Bloomberg and AP give the best chance of a middle of the road perspective. CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Newsmax, OAN….are anything but middle of the road. I spend a lot of time fact checking.

    2. *FRENCH GUY HERE , BONJOUR LES AMericains>>> SARKOZY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN FRANCE HE IS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN HOUSE ARREST(can’t leave his house) AND TWO YEARS SUSPENDED BUT HE CAN APPEAL THE DECISION and he got two other trials coming up so stay tuned*

  1. Hopefully maybe Donald Trump will be the next president to see the inside of a jail cell!? Lock him up!

    1. @John Smith le pire ! je deteste cet imposteur . tu es d’ou ? avec ce nom hollywoodien

    2. @SPΛϾΞ ЯΛϾΞЯ Les Republicans et Trump ne sont pas Americains. Biden est mon Président. Un Americain.

    1. @Chard O’Mania What ‘international consensus’?

      You libs will believe anything no matter how damning the evidence is, even Biden openly bragging about it (after leaving office of course).

    2. @Cold Beer so, who was your response directed to, me or Mr. Shiff? While you figure that out, maybe do a bit of the Google and learn some FACTS, not Ghouliani brain diarrhea.

    1. @Cold Beer You’ve never heard of tied aid? It’s been the norm, or at least a norm, of diplomacy for as long as there’s been aid. I studied international development sometime last century and it was definitely considered normal practice in Australian aid distribution at that time. It’s total assholery and I think we’ve moved away from (the appearance of) it more recently, but there’s clearly nothing illegal in what Biden did.

    1. Maybe this is a sign from God that America will get justice for the orange pig that squatted in our WH.

    1. @sandeep salvi Je suis d’accord pour Damarnin, et elles sont majeures, pour ce qui est de la moitié du gouvernement, ça ressemble plus à une théorie du complot type Qanon. Et pourtant, je déteste vraiment ce gouvernement injuste, inégalitaire,raciste et sexiste…

    2. @William H Music 2020 the majority of Trump supporters are just dumb af, you are proof of it
      No matter which one of your accounts you use, you are still the same butthurt moron
      Go cry elsewhere, Trump lost wahhh wahhhh

    1. @Cold Beer don’t seem to remember that other call, do you…? Of course not…hypocritical as usual

    2. *FRENCH GUY HERE , BONJOUR LES AMericains SARKOZY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN FRANCE HE IS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN HOUSE ARREST(can’t leave his house) AND TWO YEARS SUSPENDED BUT HE CAN APPEAL THE DECISION and he got two other trials coming up so stay tuned*

    2. Hmmm. They’re saying that he still may have a political career. Not exactly a win win is it? France must have it’s nut job voters too apparently.

    3. @SPΛϾΞ ЯΛϾΞЯ aaaah, maybe he can share quarters with Martha Stewart. Do some cooking shows and sell some marvelous linens

    4. @James no you pay taxes to support your fire dept. Police dept . City , county, services trash pick up s , your pension , medicare ,that you’ll receive if you live that long socialism you big dummy.their all social programs . You should go to jail for being a stupid brainwashed pig.

    1. Travel restrictions from the French Ministry of the Interior. No French is supposed to go in failed / trouble states

  2. No one is above the law. Jail term should be applied not commuted. The U.S. should follow these precedents.

    1. BS. Forty five is very definitely above the law. How else could a so-called POTUS get away with murder, treason and inciting an insurrection?

    2. No kidding I am a american and I am Vary vary angry that Donald Trump got acquitted and is not in jail as he should be right now!!!

    3. *FRENCH GUY HERE , BONJOUR LES AMericains>>> SARKOZY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN FRANCE HE IS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN HOUSE ARREST(can’t leave his house) AND TWO YEARS SUSPENDED BUT HE CAN APPEAL THE DECISION and he got two other trials coming up so stay tuned*

    1. @Hobostarr180 Remember that can technically backfire too. It could end up making him look like a martyr.

    2. @Clare Keys I’d love to see somebody make trump the traitor a martyr, if ya know what I mean. 👍

    3. Former Office Holders that were part of the kiddie diddler network might want to take heed. “Sound of Freedom” is coming. Look up the trailer.

  3. Wait so when you commit crimes as leader of a country, you get jail time and wow the country can still function.

    1. Technically, he commited the crime after he had left office, so it was not a crime commited as leader of the country.

  4. Well I wonder if the American government would have the guts to do this, I hope so, from Canada 🇨🇦

    1. It is up to the states now.
      Trump has a lot to worry about.  The Southern District of New York will prosecute him for serious tax problems.  There are still three sexual assault cases alive and moving through the courts.  Let’s throw in that Georgia phone call.
      We know what happened to Al Capone and Bill Cosby.

    2. The self-proclaimed elite in America don’t like to jail one of their own… even if they hate the guy.

    3. *FRENCH GUY HERE (living in cancun with ted cruz) , BONJOUR LES AMericains>>> SARKOZY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN FRANCE HE IS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN HOUSE ARREST(can’t leave his house) AND TWO YEARS SUSPENDED BUT HE CAN APPEAL THE DECISION and he got two other trials coming up so stay tuned*

    1. As a French national I can tell you France does not lack corruption. Macron is much worse.

    2. *FRENCH GUY HERE , BONJOUR LES AMericains SARKOZY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN FRANCE HE IS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN HOUSE ARREST(can’t leave his house) AND TWO YEARS SUSPENDED BUT HE CAN APPEAL THE DECISION and he got two other trials coming up so stay tuned*

    1. @JBE Multimedia lol. I said it was “interesting” not worrisome. While I may comment about world events, I rarely transfer their problems to my world. Life’s too short for that.

    2. *FRENCH GUY HERE , BONJOUR LES AMericains>>> SARKOZY IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN FRANCE HE IS SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IN HOUSE ARREST(can’t leave his house) AND TWO YEARS SUSPENDED BUT HE CAN APPEAL THE DECISION and he got two other trials coming up so stay tuned*

    3. @SPΛϾΞ ЯΛϾΞЯ Thank you for that clarification. Unfortunately, the US didn’t even do that much.

    4. @Chele B *trump has indictments coming his way too but the US INjustice system is very corrupt and always in favor of the rich and powerful so i don’t trust it at all*
