  1. A special counsel adept at prosecuting corrupt officials and war crimes. They should be concerned. May the rules of law, order and justice guide you, Mr. Smith.

    1. @Mark Bless your heart junior …You have swallowed some pretty big twaddle loads now you need to lie down for a little … Also , you need to stay off social media for a time , you are melting down …

    2. @Mark ALL US ‘ news ‘ is mindless entertainment for the masses and should be treated as such . For mine , I find the blathering of the Great American Unwashed in the comment section far more entertaining , proof positive , if it were needed ,of the tragic American Education System . 30th in world educational rankings Too dumb to know how dumb you truly are

    3. @wee huddy You are still projecting. Again, get back to me when you are capable of having a civil discussion like an adult.

    4. @Mark Again , why do you think I care what you think ? Do you actually know what projection is ? My first suggestion about getting a mirror stands … ‘Bye now .

    5. @wee huddy You mean while it was you that originated this back and forth? You don’t appear to be the brightest bulb in the box. Run along

  2. Trump gets consideration and process that literally no one else in the entire country would be afforded yet he still whines and cries about how unfair this is and how persecuted he is. Absolutely ridiculous.

    1. @JoeBidenIsTrash 1 Totally agreed!! They should concentrate on fixing the economy instead of trying to stop Trump!!

    2. If you were accused of crimes and found not guilty 20x like Trump has shows there is a 2 tier system of justice. Biden is using government power to attack his running mate. This is 3rd world stuff, this is un American.

    1. @Guy North well any sane person that’s seen 100s of investigations that go absolutely no where, over a 7 year period, have pretty much figured it out. Lol.

    2. Being relegated to the scrap heap and forgotten while others bask in the spotlight is the primary reason Trump announced. Followed by trying to run from criminal charges, and also to incite violence (vengeance) by yelling “They’re trying to stop your favorite President from being elected” when the heat is turned up. Followed by getting money from his ignorant supporters.

  3. Don’t forget; Garland and the DOJ gave Trump every opportunity to hand documents back to the archives. The man snubbed them multiple times and drew it out long past what it needed to be.

    Frankly I wish they had charged him ages ago so this might not have even been necessary, but it is what it is now. Smith sounds like the heavyweight we need.

  4. Right now, Trump is trying to figure out how to bribe or intimidate the special counsel to extract the desired outcome. That’s how a mob boss thinks.

    1. Really, his present game plan is doing darn well: Delay and delay until the prosecutor gives up and passes the buck to someone else.

    2. @WE THE PEOPLE 🇺🇸 Only a magamoron with an Iq under 70 would think that HE”S the logical one. I’ve heard the logic classes at Deliverance High were the best in the country, and YOU were the valedictorian of the class of 1941…..

  5. And let’s not forget that for these first time in history, a person announces they’re running for president this early in the year. He only announced early so he could say they’re picking on me. Oh boo hoo, take your ball and go home!

    1. @Trans- solid Wookie like Kevin McCarthy not being able to account for 1.8 million dollars he got in the past year? Even the Republicans are asking him, where’s the money.

    1. @Scourge……. I take it you’re choosing to not see all the awful things our current administration has done?

    1. @Mark Sure racist. Remember when you pretended your ethnicity proved you aren’t racist? That’s objective racism. You lose.

  6. Donald went from citizen trump to presidential candidate. He made it political with his announcement regardless of what anyone says.

    1. Hate to say it, but Trump’s delaying tactics are working beautifully. You can’t beat seeing the prosecutor admit failure.

  7. Who knew that stealing state secrets would be considered a criminal act? Who knew!
    The whole world knows Donald Trump. 🤣😂

    1. Andrew Cuomo won an Emmy by killing thousands of Senior citizens however it was taken back because he is a POS.

  8. “exhaustive analysis of all prior prosecutions under the same criminal statute that directly applies to Trump shows how difficult it will be for the Justice Department to decline to indict. Trumps conduct is much worse than prior cases.”

    1. @hangender Notice how nobody ever has a valid thing to say against the libs. It’s all lies and gaslighting.

      That’s the difference.

    2. @hangender R’s aren’t ALL traitors. They are, however, all liars. Doesn’t really matter what the issue is, from climate change to economics to crime, they take whatever self-serving position they can and rationalize it.
      Everything’s zero sum, truth/fact/law is just a tool. That’s the modern republican party.

  9. Trump – “I want to see Hillary in prison!”
    Hillary – “What makes Donald think I’ll visit him in jail?”
