  1. He talks in public like he’s so proud of what transpired on January 6th, he should want to answer questions about it.

    1. @Rider 38 Ray Epps, a Marine veteran and business owner from Arizona, traveled to Washington D.C. to show his support for former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.

  2. Now Trump is whining that he isn’t getting fair treatment. He isn’t getting fair treatment, he’s getting special treatment…unfair to all others who are facing trials.

    1. @Elkslayer YES, we DO have a law stating all paper documents HAVE TO BE HANDED OVER even BEFORE leaving office. Where you been?? Keep up!!

  3. If anyone really wants him to testify then a million or so people need to say, “If he doesn’t show up it just proves he’s a LOOSER!”

    1. I don’t think it’s petty . Can no one see the irony in someone labelling another person a loser and spelling it wrong?

    1. @DirtyBird760 I have said what I have said out of my own free will for free for what I have said here is my own choice and mine alone. And by the way, if what I have said here is truly propaganda, then prove it.

    2. @G L I don’t know what you said because your comments aren’t showing up, but chances are that means whatever you said is true.

  4. To be sentenced and NOT have to go straight to Jail is amazing. To bad most in this country can’t have that luxury…

    1. IDK….. I don’t actually have a problem with convicted criminals going to jail immediately. I do agree the process should be uniform, not 1 system for rich people and another for everyone else. The inconsistency is the biggest problem to me.

    2. Well you defy a congressional subpoena and see what happens to you. It’s not something that should happen anyway.

  5. Must be nice to be able to put your jail sentence on pause while you fight it. Most people have to fight it while being locked up, but I guess that’s just the low tier judicial system. 🙄

  6. “Only the mob takes the fifth. If that guy has nothing to hide, why is he taking the fifth amendment?” — Trump.

  7. Seriously? Bannon’s sentence “on pause” while he appeals? Yet they claim there’s not a separate judicial system for the rich!! By all means, lets keep him free to continue his podcast and help incite another insurrection.

    1. Me and you can do the same thing delay tactics if we’re rich but if we’re not rich we’re not on the side of that justice system

  8. Congress needs to consider overhauling the Justice system. Because the laws have to apply to everyone equally.

    1. @tishwitch Otisville federal prison camps there called camps low security camps look them up or better yet here FPC Alderson.
      FPC Bryan.
      FPC Duluth.
      FPC Montgomery.
      FCI Morgantown Camp.
      FPC Pensacola.
      FPC Yankton.

  9. Trump: “Nobody is giving me a chance to tell my side”

    Also Trump: “I’m not showing up to tell my side”

  10. His lawyers must have put that reply together between monitoring ambulance calls to chase. They have to get paid somehow.

    1. Like our orange hero said: “Taking the 5th is for criminals”. And I’d add “same for who appeals a subpoena”, it screams “I’m guilty!” What are you afraid of?

    2. Nobody should receive a subpoena from a committee of eleven partisans who have vouchsafed their hatred for you.

    1. I think the country is owed his flayed hide, but if you want transparency, fine, sure.
      Document the process thoroughly.

  11. ONLY THESE KIND OF PEOPLE GET OPTIONS IF THEY GET SENTENCED..ANY ONE ELSE GETS THROWN IN PRISON RIGHT AWAY..I THOUGHT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW..

  12. I recently listened to the incredibly written speech from JFK after the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and swelled with pride at those beautiful written words. That such a leader was running the country. Fast forward to 2016 and listen to Trump speak with all the understanding of grammar from a 10 year old on a playground mocking anyone who doesn’t like him. I’m afraid the inspirational days of Lincoln, JFK , MLK , RFK are gone forever , buried beneath a mile of unqualified politicians , ego’s and hate. We should be better than this ..

    1. you are better than this. but justice allowes that your sane an decent country gets lost landing in hell.

    2. @Jürgen West a huge let down, DJT can’t utter more than 3 syllables, WH briefing staffs had to use simple drawings to illustrate the points to the “president”

  13. I just don’t understand how the legal system works like that; it seems so flawed that you can just essentially ignore what the courts say if you want to and never be held accountable

    1. Because our leaders are so afraid of using their constitutional authority that they’ve chosen to neglect their constitutional responsibilities.
      We needed decisive action, within weeks or a couple months of the event. What we’ve gotten has been 2 years of hemming and hawing.

    2. Because you are innocent until proven guilty. Guilty in a court of law and not in the imaginations of your detractors.
