    1. NO! Not Biden! The U.S. Attorney General and the Law should do this. Joe Biden should remain on the sidelines. That way no republican can use his involvement in the investigation as a reason against him in the future.

    2. Not Biden should investigate or even order it. Then America would be in the same place it is now. Prosecuters should investigate.

    3. @Thomad Fender He wants the rich to pay their fair share. Not middle class or poorer people. The rich. How dare he! Do you know how how schools are being paid for? The military? Hospitals? Fire fighters? Police? Libraries? Parks? Roads? Do you think the money just falls down from heaven? Where do you think the money for the stimulus checks and other money to help in the crisis trump* caused by ignoring the virus came from? The money to help farmers who suffered from trump’s* dumb trade war with China he couldn’t win. In republican and trump voters’ thinking all of it being socialism, by the way. Stimulus checks, the help for farmers and shop owners and what have you: socialism by republican definition. They all took für money anyway. It’s paid for with tax money. It’s their money. *impeached *voted out * loser

    1. He was having a *Bad Hair Day* just like Pence’s, soon the glue holding the front part of their boss’s hair will expire in jail.

    1. @Rowan Dubin-Masuck
      Ha, your comment had me picturing that and I about fell out of my chair laughing so hard.

  1. He’s blackmailing the american people to give him ammunity for all his crime’s he’ll step aside if we give it to him… Not going to happen

    1. Another quote from the Wizard of Oz from Glinda the Good Witch of the North: “You have no power here! BE GONE, before somebody drops a house on you too!”
      Pay no attention to chump’s narcissistic tantrums. Come Jan 20 chump will have no power. We then pursue him and his accomplices because accountability matters. Then sanity respectability will return to our nation.

    1. @Natalie Michelle also a democratic nation means free fair elections. And democrats refuse to be fair. Russia hoax with no proof.

    2. @David Ntiejumokwu “If we are saying that is manslaughter then obama and biden are guilty of it too H1N1 virus, swine flu, sars, ebola, and zika virus.” No. No , No. What alternative reality are you living in ?
      2009 H1N1 pandemic: Killed 12,469 americans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/11/19/ranking-covid-deaths-american-history/
      2014 Ebola outbreak: No one who contracted Ebola while in the United States died from it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_cases_in_the_United_States
      Not to mimimize them in any way because every death is a tragedy, but the death tolls in those outbreaks were miniscule compared with the 250 thousand plus and counting for Covid-19. Why ? Partly because Obama took measures to minimize them. He also knew there would be another pandemic and handed Trump, via the pandemic response team of the NSC, a pandemic playbook. Trump disbanded that team.
      Obama did his job. As did Bush W before him. “‘If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare'”, eg: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/george-bush-2005-wait-pandemic-late-prepare/story?id=69979013

      I suggest you go back and read the definition of Criminally Negligent Manslaughter in my previous post and explain to me why Trump is not culpable. And don’t bring up whatever Obama or Hillary or Biden did or didn’t do. That distraction tactic might play well to Fox news viewers but doesn’t cut it in the real world. Covid-19 happened on Trump’s watch. He owns it. End of story.

  2. In a truly civilized modern society there would be no such thing as criminal immunity for any leaders ESPECIALLY a President.

    1. BUT, what is saddest really, is that only 5million more Americans see Trump as a threat… almost the same number see him as a saviour. You all live in the same country, but really live in two different realities! Unfortunately!

    2. @Gil Knutson I don’t see him as a saviour…I like his policies and he isn’t a politician.
      I couldn’t care less about what he looks like or how much money he has or if he is doesn’t fit the mold of eloquently speaking past presidents.

    3. why you being silly gill? Americans didn’t stand for donal 🤷🏼‍♀️what makes you think they gonna stand for his like minded followers?

  3. Trump is trying everything he can think of, cause when out of office he owes hundreds of millions of dollars, his make believe empire is going to crumble, he just can’t face the fact that he is going to lose everything, they call that KARMA, you can only screw people so long until it’s time to pay up, sometimes karma takes awhile and sometimes it happens real fast, this one took awhile,

    1. Exactly. This karma, if you believe all the NY folks, has been nearly 60 yrs in the making. Graft seems to go waay back in the family.

  4. I dont agree that a sitting president can’t be indicted. This is against the Constitution that ” No One is Above the Law !!”

    1. The truth is right in front of you if you just use your deductive reasoning. Republicans are and have been for a long time mostly corrupt.

    2. @R C Joe Biden is your president come Jan 20. Obama broke what laws and when. Give me specific laws and case where he broke them. That’s a GOP talking point that been debunked.

    3. @Free Speech sooner or later all these so called (r)epublicans and his cult members, enablers and supporters, are going to have to suffer serious withdrawal from all that Kool-Aid and the bulls**t that they have overdosed on over the last 4+ years… and then come to the realization that the Orange Baby’s term ends come 20 Jan 2021!
      I pray for everyone to follow the medical professional’s guidelines like Dr Fauchi, that have repeated warned all of us again and again, as we try to keep our homes, families and loved ones, to stay safe and healthy for all Americans and others we care about around the world during this trying time for our country!! God bless and help us all!! 👍🤘🙏😷

    1. @We The People why do you insist in showing your delusion? Seriously. Why? Even after Biden is inaugurated, you will still be insisting Trump will overthrow him and be back any second. Watching and hearing people like you is like watching cult members whose cult leader’s prophecies fail to materialize over and over. Rather than being dissuaded from the leader, it strengthens your resolve.

    1. @Bocca When you drain a swamp you can and should be held responsible for the surrounding damage that occurs due to the swamp no longer being there.

    2. @Bocca * * * 🐷 From tweeting bird to jailbird !
      Donny J. ⛳ can sit down now.
      He is done, finished, kaput, over, finally according to America’s vast, overwhelming MAJORITY.
      > Trump must now face justice in New York, New York for his wretched past !
      Lock him up and America will be great forever.
      Oy vey !

    3. No, treason is the only crime defined in the constitution and this does not meet that definition. He is guilty of a wide range of election tampering crimes as well as campaign finance violations that he will answer for starting in January.

  5. “It’s hard to give a hardened criminal a pass.” This guy is an interesting case. He seems to behave as if the law did not apply to him, or, perhaps, he is just totally unaware of law and its meaning. In any event, if he were one of the the half of American workers, those who earn < $35k a year living from paycheck to paycheck, he would certainly be in jail. What is equality under the law if it does not apply to the wealthy.

    1. @Peggy Kerbaugh , Trump is showing his true criminal traits right now, traits he has used his whole business life, but now on show and under full scrutiny, to the whole world. A world of pain awaits Trump!

    2. @Peggy Kerbaugh Your statement has no basis, no proof. On the other hand, as Neal Katyal states in this interview, there are 10 criminal findings in the Müller report which couldn’t be pursued due to Trump’s immunity. This is just for this probe alone, plus the numerous other investigations on Trump which have been on hold due to his presidency. The vast majority of us Europeans look forward for these investigations/indictments to start as of Jan 20. Also can’t wait for HONOR and DIGNITY returning to the WH on the same day.

    3. You are an irrelevant, stupid, lying on purpose, laughable joke.

      We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

      Nobody is as stupid and as much liars as the media.

      The Father, Son and Holy Spirit will vindicate President Trump for this 2020 election and nobody and nothing can or will be able to stop it.

  6. Didn’t trump say stop the votes as a president….yes…that’s criminal!….go get him out of office now and let us Americans move on!
