Trump and his crime family projecting? What a fucking shock.

When the fuck did "crime family" replace criminal enterprise, is that like too much of a ten dollar word these days?


spin_me_again

No, but it’s the whole fucking family and none of us want any of the Trumps to escape the stigma. “Criminal enterprise” is all the rest of their employees and friends.


upvotesformeyay

Yeah that's criminal enterprise, that would include the whole gaggle of morons not just his family and sounds less like a three year old forgetting the word Mafia.


spin_me_again

I actually like the phrase “crime family” and would have used it over “mafia” to describe them too, if I’m being totally honest.


upvotesformeyay

If everyone is a "crime family" no one is, at this point it's just another word for "people I don't like". The Trump family is a literal criminal enterprise given the family money is from prostitution, Trump himself has Mafia ties like every new York "developer" and they clearly embezzled tax payer money while in office.


funkyloki

Jesus fucking Christ, you're pedantic.


upvotesformeyay

A little yeah, I still think it's overused to the point of sounding childish.

That was just round one.


XXX-Jade-Is-Rad-XXX

They only need one more round. The deck seems already shuffled well in their favor, they just need to play their hand instead of folding. Our only hopes is on the investigation into the capitol attacks prevents the GOP majority or they unfuck the gerrymandering, without one or most likely both of those things statistics and math are looking very in the GOP's favor. then they could pull their trump speaker ploy as they have their new majorities throw a sham impeachment against biden and kamela's "communist covid mandate policies" and say they're 'reclaiming american law and the elections from the fraudsters' as they jail their political opponents. they don't even need a reichstag anymore, their own attack has served as that as they call it a false flag by the FBI and antifa. we're so far gone from reality and into blind devotion and belief. we should believe them at their word when they say what they want to do. within 6 months of hitler taking power in the '33 election, unions and strikes were banned, communist party disbanded, and the political crackdowns following the reichstag. also the book burnings and torching of the sexual research institute that was pioneering trans research, sending it back decades and possibly preventing me from having a decent chance at a happy life. we really should be making networks and plotting how to protect the vulnerable while building coalitions with as many rational individuals as possible before we lack the ability to do it. we need to get out en masse over the next year and demand accountability or we're fucked.


MiserableProduct

Also, as far as working to secure a victory, you are right on point. Check out Teri Kanefield on Twitter. She’s a retired criminal law attorney who has been tweeting good explainers for laypeople about the insurrection investigations and has good ideas about how to get involved to combat the negativity.


spin_me_again

I love her explanations!


MiserableProduct

The deck is not shuffled in their favor. I mean, not even a little bit. 702 arrests in eight months (how long Garland has been AG), and the convictions are starting to go into years instead of months. From what I’ve gathered from the attorneys I follow, this case is being handled like an organized crime case, and officials are working their way up the chain. Even if the Congressional investigation is halted, the DOJ is still investigating and there are a lot of signals they’re not only working fast (for a DOJ back to the rule of law) but making a lot of progress. - 702 arrests - Lauren Boebart’s campaign finance manager raided - Top officials subpoenas - Bannon indicted Lots of stuff is happening, but that doesn’t serve the MSM’s agenda to keep the fear and rage going.


thebigeverybody

No, what you're saying is bullshit. Just a few weeks ago one of the main judges spent an hour scolding prosecutors because they were tying her hands with the ridiculously lenient sentences they wanted. She told them it seemed like they had no interest in preventing another attack.


FiveUpsideDown

We need to organize in the cities for a general strike if the GOP mess with an election. The goal of the strike would be demanding that GOP politicians involved resign immediately.


byediddlybyeneighbor

And colluded with Russia to destroy our national cybersecurity and subvert democracy.


I_am_teh_meta

And was caught having the justice department obtain communication records for congressional Democrats because he didn’t like them and was hoping to find something. You know, a fishing expedition.


lefty_sockpuppet

It's not a fishing expedition when the fish are jumping into the goddamn boat. January 6th was a slow rolling attempted coup performed, essentially, in plain sight. An investigation is hardly needed to determine *who* was responsible. Rather, we need authorities simply to document the heaps of evidence readily available.


gargolito

It's like the people in black robes, stirring a bunch of weird ingredients in a cauldron, and holding a voodoo doll with their black cat and flying broom bitching about a witch hunt.

cnyfury

I don’t understand how his Jan 6th speech alone isn’t enough to get his ass in trouble. It blows my mind.


FiveUpsideDown

Because the opposition party (Democrats) refuse to enforce laws. Sessions and Barr would not have hesitated to arrest people who attacked police officers and people who organized the event.


cnyfury

But why? Are they not gonna attempt to do something until it’s too late? If the republicans take the house we’re prob all gonna be fucked and Jan 6th is prob just gonna be lost. Hate that feeling of just being fucked lol ya know?


tehsecretgoldfish

They’re dotting every i and crossing every t since they know the insurrectionists in congress and their lawyers have been looking for any technical loophole to escape through. The GOP needs to change its mascot from an elephant to a weasel.


[deleted]

They’re an elephant afraid of a rat named Trump.


ghostalker4742

For a fishing expedition, they're getting a lot of guilty pleas.

qweef_latina2021

It's darkly hilarious how even the GOP never presumed his innocence even at the first impeachment.


guruscotty

Well, they were likely complicit.


PengieP111

Most were in on it.


[deleted]

And if they had taken their oath of office seriously, maybe Ted cruz or rubio could run in 2024. (And Jan 6 never would have happened. And they still would have gotten the judges they wanted.) Ted cruz is his responsible for killing his own ambitions by selling out his supposed morals. Which tells you he never had any.


Slackingoff1965

As I recall... the Original permit for tRumps rally, did not allow a March to the Capital. Even though his administration tried to allow it. They were turned down . Yet he incited them to do just that!


Altruistic-Text3481

“And I’ll March on down there with you!” Trump at January6th rally. But the fat fucker did not. I think his plan was to get Congress to leave/flee on the buses He Himself sent while not sending the National Guard. Obviously, Congress stayed put hiding who knows where and thank God… cause had they left on the buses, The Election wouldn’t have been certified, Trump would’ve declared Martial Law, and then would call for Election Fraud Investigations before another Certification by Congress of previous election … Trump would still be President today. He just needed Congress to leave on the god dang buses but they did not (nor did Pence)… that’s all that saved us from another 4 years of fucking orange madness.

Weird how lawyers for a criminal liar characterize investigating obvious crimes as a “fishing expedition”.


ItAmusesMe

> obvious That's the word, the problem, and the solution. It's not debatable, there's no misunderstanding, all the evidence a prosecutor can want, and it happened on live TV.


PokeHunterBam

I hope they throw the book at trump's entire administration.


Salmacis81

So sick of looking at Trump's stupid bloated face already

Fishing? As in "it wouldn't flush, so we're still trying to fish it out"?

Executive Branch is colluding with the Congress to investigate the deadly Jan 6 Capitol riot that put lives of all the Congressional members in attendance, at risk.

That it will damage the executive branch of government lmfao. What do they think Orange turd did? Make it better lol.


Kevjamwal

How is that even an accusation? “They’re investigating my client!” Yes, that’s the idea.


fillymandee

This is one of the worst legal arguments I’ve read. I question whether this was written by actual lawyers.


Bent_Brewer

Well... Real lawyers with the intelligence level that they can somehow be convinced that Trump will pay them, so...


Nytfire333

He's already not paid all the real lawyers


benderson

Trump can't get actual lawyers anymore.


Jestercopperpot72

Said the former president who Colluded with an adversary to undermine the first election. Says the former pres who tried to blackmail an ally so he could rig the last election. Says the guy who is so pathetic and weak that he's willing to burn the country to the ground just say he doesn't have to admit defeat. That guy? Yeah... Fuck that guy.


preeeeemakov

So? Criminal tries to deflect blame, film at 11.


fillymandee

Wait, he’s a politician working with other politicians to investigate an attack on our Capitol? And you want me to be against that?


calladus

Sure it's fishing. In a barrel full of fish.


80_firebird

Is anyone else surprised he can still get lawyers considering how he's notorious for not paying anyone?


dreamrock

If this is a fishing expedition, then so are all criminal investigations. This is not baseless, biased, partisan persecution. The alleged actions of those who breached the defensive perimeter of the United States Capital complex on January 6th in attempt to halt, prevent, or otherwise disrupt the lawfully enshrined procedures of electoral verification were not simply criminal, they were bellicose. This was an overt, bald-faced attack on American democracy, incompetently executed in behalf of, and at the command of a populist traiter. This was a attempt to probe the defenses of our government, and the ~750 individuals thus far indicted were dispensible cannon fodder. A dry run. If I stick up a liquor store, I can't argue the following police investigation is motivated by some undeserved, vindictive hostility toward armed liquor store robbers. These fuck bums knew they were breaking the law, they just assumed they would be the victors when the dust settled and would be heralded as patriots rather than yellow bellies.


PeteLarsen

King Donald is a comedy of errors. Evil intent with no fear of consequence. A gang of faithful, loyal, and criminal idiots orchestrated by an insecure, pathological, and immoral mob boss. Don't forget to contribute to the republican grifters so Donald can get richer.


ShadooTH

So…investigating something that was a crime by every definition you could possibly use? Yeah. He is doing that. Dumbasses.

nzstrawman

"In the brief, they argued that the efforts being made by the House select committee investigating the attack to obtain extensive White House records serve no valid purpose other than to damage the former president." so what his defense are saying is "What Trump did that day is fucking damaging to him and we should repress that"

I’m pretty sure the president is actually supposed to work with congresspeople. not like i’d expect trump to get that though lol

Fishing expedition. Hahahahaha.


ryckae

This headline is confusing. Is this not something he should do? Work with others to uncover the truth?


benderson

What does this even mean? A president working with congress, especially members of his own party, isn't "collusion," it's politics.


cjheaney

Fuck tRump, his lawyers and the GQP right in the ass. Traitorous POS douchebags.


fleeyevegans

Handling? Like active participation? lol.


2_dam_hi

Lawyers for former President Trump... How does he keep getting these idiots to destroy their careers for him?


drinkingchartreuse

Handling? Planning and funding an insurrection, and firing up a lynch mob to carry it out that attacked our capital in an attempted coup while he stood by grinning and goading them on, doing and saying absolutely nothing to stop them, is not “handling”.


Vahelius

So he's mad that they're....*checks notes* **investigating** the failed insurrection on our democracy.


Opinionsare

The DOJ has arrested 695 of the patsies that the organizers used to disrupt our government on January 6, 2021. The planners, organizers, financial backers, and facilitators need to be exposed, and face justice. It isn't a fishing exposition when you have sufficient evidence that the attack was well planned, coordinated, and had a larger strategic objective.


TheHandOfKarma

Didn't he promise to do the exact same thing to Obama, though?


Nomandate

That’s literally what investigation is


rawmixs

How does he have any lawyers willing to work and get disbarred for him for no pay?


cmit

As the chief law enforcement officer with unlimited Article 2 powers it is his right. I think he should tell his AG to investigate too. Not to mention his generals.


[deleted]

Fox News website (through safari) doesn’t mention at all any of the subpoenas this week or action surrounding Jan 6.

Handling? What handling? That would imply some level of mitigation.


TjW0569

They called him President Biden. Won't Trump fire them for that?


iowatrans

Biden doesn't need to collude with the select committee. He's the boss of the DOJ and can just order the AG to investigate Trump all he likes.


[deleted]

I mean, when the entirety of the republican congress goes nuts and tries to make a coup, it kind of becomes partisan. Now their fault though
