Isn’t it funny though they’re going after Trump but there’s a pretty good cause to believe bill Gates knew Harvey Weinstein Very well
Trump will claim that antifa was in charge of doing his taxes.😂😅
Lol!
He says presidents don’t have to be responsible for their actions.😒🤡
David. J
Well they bring down fascism
Or he’ll just blame BLM.

I hope they get wannabe Mafia boss “Teflon Don”. Take him down like Al Capone.
the funniest thing about all this is that Trump took Himself down, period, So-sad,💦 Lolzzz
Yap, Teflon Moron Conman Don
Have you noticed that if a teflon coat wears off, it is getting very sticky underneath?
[Grand jury, “criminal” needing “intent and motive” to prove, and Cy Vance approaching to the end of his term] => seriously significantly giant step toward the final closing of the Trump Crime case. You can be sure of it.
Wrong. When they pursue this through a grand jury? It means they don’t have enough evidence to indict. They don’t have enough evidence to go in front of a judge.
A Grand jury investigation is a process by which a prosecutor attempts to pursue an indictment by presenting his evidence uncontested to a selected jury.
Generally grand jury‘s sign off on a prosecutors indictment simply because there’s no counter evidence or argument presented. This is why many nations to world over have abolished grand jury indictment.
“In part because there’s no one on the “other side” to contest the prosecutor’s evidence, grand juries almost always return an indictment as requested by the prosecutor. According to a U.S. Department of Justice study on plea bargaining, “Grand juries are notorious for being ‘rubberstamps’ for the prosecutor for virtually all routine criminal matters.” (Plea Bargaining: Critical Issues and Common Practices, by William F. McDonald, (U.S. DOJ, National Institute of Justice, 1985).)
Where they have a choice, prosecutors often prefer grand juries because grand jury proceedings are secret. When prosecutors file an information, they are usually required to convince a judge in a public preliminary hearing that they have enough evidence to secure a conviction. This high burden is not present at a grand jury proceeding, where the prosecutor has to prove that there’s only “probable cause” to believe that a crime occurred and the target of the proceeding comitted it.”
It is absolutely a prosecution. One that is being specifically pursued due to the saturation levels of persons willing to further their endeavors due to their political ideology.
@The Heretic Do you really believe they will do this without any evidence of a crime? This is the former President of the USA we are talking about. If you believe that everything is just about getting Trump then you are being delusional. Trump is a very corrupt man and you will soon find out the truth.
The Don is going to receive the royal treatment like John Gotti.
Yeah, and when/if he appears in court he’ll be in a wheelchair faking a terminal illness like all the mobsters do.
Ehh. I see how someone could respect Gotti. The Orange Turd Blossom Special deserves. I royal treatment. Treat him like the liar he is
The Fat Lady is warming up her vocal cords!
Music to my ears 😊🎶🎶
Lipl ior SING
Sing lady sing!
Wheels of justice are rolling that’s all that matter’s 🇺🇸
Grinding. To PULP !!
Trump has immunity
I think Trump will be pleased with the water pressure in prison toilets.
Yes, his stainless steel toilet.
He won’t have to Flush 15 TIMES 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will send a DVD of “Let’s Go to Jail”. This will be like “orientation” for tRump before the actual prison time…
I think Trump deserves respect; let him take his gold toilet to prison:)
And you know this how? Lol
Step by step, each step is an ego stomp. Expect to hear some whimpering.
Do not rush and make any technical errors. Get this right. BUT please, please, please get this done before the next presidential election. If Republicans come back, they will give you another Barr, or worse and justice will never be done.
Well known saying among lawyers: “A good prosecutor can get a ham sandwich indicted.” Beginning of the end for the orange makeup wearing criminal.
They’re prosecuting an Ex President who has committed many crimes. When you go after an ex President you need to ensure you have an ironclad case to convict.
@ACERMATIC NYC No, he most certainly does not. You poor thing. I know this is hard for you magats to accept.

@madboyreadynow28 yes
@madboyreadynow28 when they raided Rudy’s house nothing happened.
I was there and the FBI told Rudy it was just for show but no charges will come from it
The magats are out in force to squawk about how fake and unfair this is. What about what about is flying hot and heavy. Amusing.
