When? how much longer do we have to wait for justice?
Keep crying
@Alex Sinclaire we’re trying Alex. Much of America’s been waiting a few years.
@Liz Pedano 👍
@Mick A I know it…we just have to have faith that justice will be done and patience that Cy Vance and his team will put that entire family in the can where they belong.
Full justice? Forever. We will never see all of these anti-American crooks go to jail where they belong. Seems AG Garland is trying to protect these jackasses, including Trump himself.
I am looking forward to see the Mueller Report in full, better yet to see Mueller testify before the congress without obstructions from the previous DOJ!
@Audley Anderson there is so much in the redacted version. What has been redacted is to protect investigation(s) into others.
@Twodog you didn’t read the same Mueller Report I did. Did you think what Barr put out was the actual report? It wasn’t and it wasn’t truthful.
@Tricia C I understand that. Recently a Federal Judge reviewed Barrs cover letter to close the investigation. She had said that Barrs remarks were disengenuous at best. So don’t know if they’ll reopen it or not. Remember all of the people that were supeanoed but trump wouldn’t allow them to testify. Think he claimed executive privilege ? He’s not president anymore. So don’t know if they’ll take another look at that or not.
@Tricia C All the more to have the full document revealed.
@Tricia C You need psychiatric help. Russia collusion? What a farce! Get a grip on your life!
Can witnesses say see no evil, hear no evil when evil was all around them ?
They can definitely say it. But when it’s easily proven false that’ll be perjury added on.
Sociopaths can be amazingly convincing. I have seen and heard normal people talked into believing the most incredible nonsense!
No! They would have to plead the 5th or offender immunity!
@Leonie Dejong One morning I was getting ready to see my patient’s. I was LISTENING to a podcast, who was an former advisor to the Former Guy! He ACTUALLY said the Former Guy made SATAN look like a look a saint! Think about that! I thank God daily for PRESIDENT BIDEN! He has a calming voice, positive, giving millions of SUFFERING AMERICANS HOPE! All I know is the power of prayer.🙏 🙏God listened! President BIDEN came to the RESCUE! Yes he did!
@Anna Zeman EXACTLY SOCIOPATHS do not have a conscience, no regard for human life on and on. This is funny! I was talking to my sister diagnosing the Former Guy! My diagnosis was a PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC, PATHOLOGICAL LIAR and MALIGNANT NARCISSIST! She asked me not to REFER to him as a SCHIZOPHRENIC, those truly diagnosed with schizophrenia would give them a bad name. This is true. She is a doctor at MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER! I am also a doctor; however, I would NEVER change places with her. She has a very stressful life and loves all her patients!
To flip or not to flip? That is the question.
Daily Reminder: Trump called Covid-19 a Democrat hoax that will miraculously disappear.
@DEBRA KALB you heard it yet your stupidity didn’t
@Julian Rivera ha ha, thats funny. If you were just a bit braver and not so scared you would not make such a statement.
@Mike Grzincic Says the guy with an ancient Boy George photo?? LOL
@Rhetoric Scared?of what,brave?for what?
@Rhetoric still waiting stupid.
Give the Narcissist a polygraph on his years with Epstein and Maxwell
@ihatecrackhead Mr. “I wish her well” never kicked him off his property, though.
@Steven L Emerson Charlie Foxtrot isn’t distorting anything at all. He was buds with Robert Maxwell before he ever met Epstein, through Ghislaine. He was ticked off when GHWB didn’t whisper in Reagan’s ear to make him ambassador to Russia, which he thought he had paid for with his GHWB campaign contribution, so he started hobnobbing with underworld spies and the like. Adnan Khashoggi was a guest at his wedding, for crissakes. You do know that he sent his own plane over to London to pick up Andrew for the trysts, don’t you?
@Constituent A you’re a liar
@Sheila Boston Yeah, I agree. I was really just pointing out how stupid John Patrick’s statement is.
@Constituent A You know more about this than I do. Who was buds with Robert Maxwell? Who sent his plane to London to pick up Prince Andrew?
The trail from CFO, Controller, VP Finance, Head of Finance, Book Keeping……….
Thanks Ari, for letting people talk.
propagandists are going to propagate.
@Hardcastle … Because he let’s his guests speak? Something is severely wrong with y’all.
@Andrew Hunsaker – Way to miss the point.
@Andrew Hunsaker Well, clearly you are rowing with one oar.
@Hardcastle ❄️❄️🍼
Wow. All of this nonsense about criminal activity of Dumpster makes me realize that there are no enforced rules of fraud and grift. Note to self. Grift, steal, lie about everything. No consequences! No consequences!!! Shocking.
It only works if you don’t have a conscience.
@Hijodelaisla And it’s fairly obvious that none of them do.
Not for us!
@Sheila Boston So, you get my point. Gold star.
It’s a great example for all the Americans to follow, NOT!
Stop giving Don n Jeff credit …. If they were concerned about the country, they would hv called an Article 25 on Trump.
Con & Junior held off National Guard…those piggies were looking for WWE on the Articles
I agree
Dude those fools watched on TV for their moment…sad humans…AND one was “President?”
McGann was WH counsel, which isn’t a Cabinet post. Only the Cabinet & VP can initiate that. Then, unless 45 agreed, which he never would’ve- it would have to be approved by Congress- which it never would have been. 45 did 2 things that worked as intended. He surrounded himself with corrupt cronies & cowards, and he joined a party that was more than ready to finish selling its soul, by the time he came along.
DITTO
Cy Vance-“There’s 2 kinds of people in this world, those that snitch and those that go to jail.”
Weisselberg-“I’ll snitch!”😭😭😭
*Trump brings down the house with this rousing finale:*
🎼 _”And now the end is near, So I face the final curtain”_ 🎶
🎶 _”My friends, to save their rear, Will rat me out, of this I’m certain”_ 🎵
🎵 _”Sent up for life without parole, I’m like roadkill out on the highway”_ 🎶
🎶 _”I screwed them all, but more than this, I did it my way.”_ 🎵
Donald never did a single honest thing in his life.
@LLL He called out fake news, that was honest.
@J L Weiselberg may be given immunity to testify. With all the documents they confiscated, they will have answers before questions are asked.
@Hardcastle if they did anything wrong, then they should. Hillary has been investigated several times and even Trump’s people investigated her and found she did anything wrong. Trump has been pushing that Biden is connected to China somehow, when it is Trump and his daughter who are connected. He has his products made.therr and Ivanka got patents while Trump was president and she was his adviser. Trump also paid China more in taxes than he did in the U.S.
Thanks Ari! You are a Great Spokesperson in this whole Trump Fiasco!! We Must Preserve our Country!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
@Tom Torrell No theft occurred. Your guy lost, get over it.
@Tom Torrell so you’re saying tump didn’t have the “best people”?
What about all that winning 🤔
Or maybe you are conned
@Random Internet User There was a lot of winning, but 4 years time wasn’t enough. Peace deals in the MidEast, Terrorists Baghdadi and Solemeni killed. Obama/Kerry Iran deal killed. NATO bill’s being paid. Russia collusion debunked. 400 miles of border wall completed. Stay in Mexico policy. Ban on terrorists from Muslim countries. China travel banned after Covid19…Democrats called it bigotry. 3 new SCOTUS justices. Over 300 new conservative district and federal judges. Rebuilt military. Great economy until Covid hit, thanks to China. Need more?
@Tom Torrell hahahaha
@Tricia C Is that all you can contribute?
Still noone being charged, wish I was a D.C. attorney, my first summons would be to contact the Georgia election official, they got Trump redhanded with that phone call, is it that hard to litigate, cmon Man!!!
They know how slippery trump is…things have to be done to prevent him from squirming out if this one. Patience….
No doubt they have been in touch. Who goes first? Flip that coin.
There is too many corrupt leftist attorneys as it is.
The fact they’re talking about flipping people with an antique foosball table hanging in the background is evidence that he likes to flip people.
I haven’t played since I left the military, 40 yrs ago.
🤔. 😂😂😂😂
That’s his trophy board…in plainsight. Lol
lol
@sclogse1” I do not think that word means what you think it means”.
Funny he wasn’t making flapjacks during the interview.
Never knew a man where all his friends are crooks, headed to jail but him!! He’s(trump) a fake mobster!!🤣🤣🤣
@Macalicious 02 knows it’s a conspiracy…
We all know the conspiracy is against criminals
@Terrie Jervey I see you wanted to represent the Left with sheep. At least you’re starting to realize who you are.
@Macalicious 02 Do you? That should be your worry!👍
@Terrie Jervey 😂 nope, I know who the sheep are and they definitely amass in a herd on the left.
@Macalicious 02 your tag sums up your sorry self
..I am sorry for you.
“Flip or not flip?” And there’s Andrew sitting in front of a mounted Foosball rack on the wall…
The more they dig the bigger the leak in the sewer.

Trump MUST be prosecuted! The very future of our democracy depends on holding him accountable for his many crimes!
The criminal is roaming around and spreading lies! How long do we have to wait?
Til they arrest bidens an obamas an pelosi
To summarize: Nothing will happen to the sleazy spray tanned grifter.
