You think all of his financial issues are just noise I assume?
I’ve never been a Trumper and I’ve never uttered a word about the election, other than to say that Biden clearly won, which I predicted all along. [Reply]

So rule of law is all we have left. Maybe if these people are shown for what they are, that can unify. I doubt it, but it’s worth a shot.
Two-tiered justice is neither unifying nor the “rule of law”. Get out of here with these attempts to wrap a fig leaf around raw partisan vengeance. [Reply]
Is there any chance he’ll get sent to the Leavenworth Kansas federal penitentiary and if so, how many people from CP will make an attempt to visit him? [Reply]

That and they don’t have a prosecutable case. At least not one that would be advanced absent political bias. Mueller had the opportunity to declare that he had such a case and he demurred with his lame excuse about a memo that offered guidance only against actual prosecution. The House had the opportunity to impeach on these grounds as well but chose not to. And here you are pretending that there’s a case to be had. [Reply]

Yeah, but wouldn’t it be fun if trump languished in prison for the rest of his life for crimes he committed? [Reply]

There were 10 instances which Mueller outlined which he felt fit the elements of obstruction.
Do you take issue with any/all of those examples? If so, what elements are missing? [Reply]

We already have this transition being openly refused at the Pentagon level.
Well isn't that because some false info that was given to the Biden team as a test ended up in Chinese military chatter that was intercepted by our intelligence agencies? But by all means, tell us more about your thoughts on "allowing a person with power to be above the law". [Reply]
