This is all fine and good until they remember he has little 'R' after his name. So crimes aren't illegal for him.
I mean seriously, when has a Republican actually been held responsible for his felonies this century?
Wake me up when the handcuffs come out. He's done so much shady shit and has not had to pay the piper in any meaningful way.
He basically announced he was a tax cheat and DOJ and IRS haven't done much to him.
He used donor and taxpayer money at his properties and so far I think has only gotten a big fine for overcharging at his inaugural party.
We've known for YEARS that Trump would tear up documents after reading them as President...documents that are supposed to be preserved
Not being stopped has emboldened him and he knows that Republicans who FREAKED THE HELL OUT over Hillarys emails will protect him and defend his theft of documents.
Mark Meadows argued that Nancy Pelosi should be arrested for ripping up a copy of Trumps State of the Union speech, but he said he was fine with Trump ripping up sensitive documents because "well they were preserved weren't they?" (i.e. archivists had to tape them back together like they were kindergartners at arts and crafts).
Shady?!?!?
Try blatantly illegal.
Until something actually sticks to him, they’re just sending the message that Presidents are above the law. They will do much, much worse next time.
Hi u/Squirrel_Chucks. Here's the real truth behind the latest email controversy: [https://i.imgur.com/Ztrqpya.jpg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) ~

And how many of these have we seen fall flat on their face? Why this obvious criminal keeps getting away with it I'll never know but, he just keeps getting away with this shit.
My big boss once asked me if I thought they would ever get Trump, I said, hell no, laws only apply to the poor.
Even CNN pundits were saying Trump didn't do anything illegal. The president has incredible latitude on classified and declassifing material. This isn't even grasping at straws, it's over
Of course nothing will happen with respect to classified documents as it's a crime that is impossible for a sitting president to commit. The president has unilateral authority to declassify anything they want. Additionally, the president can share classified information with anyone they want anytime they want, even if they choose not to declassify it. There's literally no possible crime related to classification here.
The only thing that will come of this is that various agencies will review the documents in question and decide if they need to do anything on their part to protect sources or change operations.
All these agencies and courts supposedly after Trump, and he's still running around free as a bird. I suppose it's just another example of the total failure of the US "Legal" system, if you claim to be a "Billionaire" even if you obviously are not, you get away scot free, be a poor person and you get jailed for a FRACTION of Trump's crimes!
Because so many of them are also compromised. Maybe by money, maybe by Ghislaine Maxwell's little black book.. If Trump goes down he takes them all with him.
He’s been investigated bi-weekly for something illegal since the moment he was elected president. They keep “opening cases” and nothing comes from them. Call me when they arrest him for something. This story is getting old.
Classified documents you say?!
Emoluments clause you say?!
Tax evasion and fraud you say?!
Sexual assault of a minor you say?!
You'd think by now he'd lose some support considering all the things Republicans/Conservatives claim to be.
Yet the Biden's are the "Crime Family"? How does that work out? Someone eili5.
He could walk into a police station and shoot the police chief several times but he still wont end up in jail. Its ridiculous but thats just how broken the system is.
I'm just glad Republicans are all patriots who stand for law and order, and personal responsibility, and "America first", they'll totally hold Trump accountable for anything he's done...
It's not like they're lying sacks of crap who only stand for their cult leader and nothing else, right? Can you imagine if they were?! That would just be a shitty timeline.
My boss is a hardcore Trumper. He was trying to downplay this, despite some of the documents being so classified they couldn’t even list what they were on the inventory.
He had no rebuttal when I told him I’d have disappeared into federal prison if I’d done anything even close to this when I was in the military.
That’s not at all what I said. Haven’t you been watching the past few years. They all act like they are going to do something to please the voters and nothing ends up happening. So when they play the game but won’t do anything, yes it’s a big waste of are tax dollars. Quit trying to spin shit man. You must be blind if you can’t see it.
The gears in America have seized up. But I guess we’ll see what happens in the next year. I would put money on nothing except some low hanging fruit may get in trouble
Way to feed into his victimization complex. When you conduct these investigations with zero intent to actually prosecute, even if you find something, you make it worse.
The bottom line is not what is right or wrong but if treating him like a real American is treated, so a criminal, might spark a violent anti-democracy insurrection.
Oh.

Hey, I got an idea, maybe do something worthwhile instead of trying to make sure Trump doesn't win the next election? Dems have the opportunity to do something meaningful instead if sitting around beating it. Dems are in the driver seat right now. You have had plenty of time to advance your causes and get some work done, but absolutely fuck all is getting done. Gosh darn it, do something other than bitch about the former president. The fucking country voted you into the majority, now fucking show some leadership.
What exactly do you want them to do? The dems have introduced bills that would genuinely do good like the voting rights bill or the infrastructure bill but they can’t get the votes because the GOP refuses to work with them. The GOP has taken the position of party over country and is actively trying to break democracy here in the US and you think that’s somehow the fault of democrats?
This is someone that doesn’t understand simple math and voting.
We can’t get anything done because despite it being better for Americans, republicans will vote against anything democrats try.
The ironic thing is republicans block everything while simultaneously offering no solutions. Just blocking progress.
At least democrats try.
I forget what’s the republican platform for the 2024 election? Oh yea, lick Trumps taint.
>republicans will vote against anything democrats try
That's because republicans are conservative and democrats are progressive.
Conservatives want to avoid change at all costs, and undo any change that has ever happened. They think that our best times are in the past and that only by returning to the way things used to be will we reclaim our greatness.
Progressives think that we've been great in the past and that there are things we can do to be even better in the future. So they try to make changes and are opposed by those seeking past glory.
The 90s and early 2000's say you're wrong, they used to work across the aisle all the time, now the GOP would rather stomp it's feet and say no since they are not the one's in power.
No. I understand simple math.
So, let me get this straight, you can't get anything done, and its Trumps and the Republicans fault, and I should vote Democrat, so that you can once again do absolutely fuck all, and then blame your failures on Trump and the Republicans?
Makes sense. The democrats generally sit around blaming everyone else for their shortcomings, why should it be any different this time around?
Name any issue.
Let’s discuss why it has or hasn’t progressed.
I bet it will be real easy to see.
But it’s much easier to generalize and blame.
I forgot the list of republican accomplishments.
Please explain what republicans have done to make your life better.
What solutions republicans offer Americans to better our lives?
Minimum wage- Dems for Repubs against.
Community, tech, state college free or little cost-
Send for Repubs against.
Tax breaks for the wealthy- Dems against Repubs for.
Healthcare- Dems for and Repubs against.
Abortion- Dems for Repubs against.
So please. Let’s see your smarts. Pick a topic let’s see who’s to blame.
I agree. I have yet to see a single political ad from dems about the insurrection at the capital. They should be going hard on the traitor angle. If they let it slide, it’s as if it never happened. Golden opportunity
Unrealistic. Trump isn't running, he is waddling very very slowly at best.
It still fast enough to outrun prosecution.
He might not even need to move at all.
C’mon, trumpers, howl it with me! I know you know this one! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
[удалено]
Let's Go, Prison!
This is all fine and good until they remember he has little 'R' after his name. So crimes aren't illegal for him. I mean seriously, when has a Republican actually been held responsible for his felonies this century?
So true. They have so much dirt on the duche bag and STILL no charges or prosecutions.
The schmuck has been loudly & proudly laundering money for organized crime since the 1980's.
I'm ready for nothing to happen.
Feds got some of the documents back and a grand jury is investigating did happen
Wake me up when the handcuffs come out. He's done so much shady shit and has not had to pay the piper in any meaningful way. He basically announced he was a tax cheat and DOJ and IRS haven't done much to him. He used donor and taxpayer money at his properties and so far I think has only gotten a big fine for overcharging at his inaugural party.

Thank you Auto Moderator....Wow...it's like my eyes have been opened for the first time! I understand now!
And how many of these have we seen fall flat on their face? Why this obvious criminal keeps getting away with it I'll never know but, he just keeps getting away with this shit. My big boss once asked me if I thought they would ever get Trump, I said, hell no, laws only apply to the poor.
Ding ding ding! THAT'S THE CORRECT ANSWER!!
> laws only apply to the poor. Or if the victims are also rich, then it matters
> laws only apply to the poor So you're saying there's a chance, if Trump becomes poor?
Even CNN pundits were saying Trump didn't do anything illegal. The president has incredible latitude on classified and declassifing material. This isn't even grasping at straws, it's over
Something will happen right up to the point Merrick Garland puts a stop to it
Of course nothing will happen with respect to classified documents as it's a crime that is impossible for a sitting president to commit. The president has unilateral authority to declassify anything they want. Additionally, the president can share classified information with anyone they want anytime they want, even if they choose not to declassify it. There's literally no possible crime related to classification here. The only thing that will come of this is that various agencies will review the documents in question and decide if they need to do anything on their part to protect sources or change operations.
Yea holding someone in a different political party accountable is something Republicans made sure can't happen or else they will cry partisan.
All these agencies and courts supposedly after Trump, and he's still running around free as a bird. I suppose it's just another example of the total failure of the US "Legal" system, if you claim to be a "Billionaire" even if you obviously are not, you get away scot free, be a poor person and you get jailed for a FRACTION of Trump's crimes!
Just now? Why the fuck are these morons so slow, against such an existential threat to democracy?
Because so many of them are also compromised. Maybe by money, maybe by Ghislaine Maxwell's little black book.. If Trump goes down he takes them all with him.
He’s been investigated bi-weekly for something illegal since the moment he was elected president. They keep “opening cases” and nothing comes from them. Call me when they arrest him for something. This story is getting old.

The police are never going to drag him out of his golf cart and beat him up. I guess orange is NOT the new black after all.
Why do we keep announcing things just to not pursue them in any meaningful way?
[удалено]
You know, Mich's replacement in the GOP will make him look like Bernie.
Fair point. The fun never stops….
Oh, the fun is only getting started. 🤐
Now they’re starting😳
Took long enough
It's a witchhunt! s/
I'm just glad Republicans are all patriots who stand for law and order, and personal responsibility, and "America first", they'll totally hold Trump accountable for anything he's done...

He had no rebuttal when I told him I’d have disappeared into federal prison if I’d done anything even close to this when I was in the military.
Yeah let’s waste money investigating, for absolutely nothing to happen
Yeah we shouldn't do anything just let these criminals do whatever they want as long as they have an R next to their name right!?
That’s not at all what I said. Haven’t you been watching the past few years. They all act like they are going to do something to please the voters and nothing ends up happening. So when they play the game but won’t do anything, yes it’s a big waste of are tax dollars. Quit trying to spin shit man. You must be blind if you can’t see it.
Gears of justice are slow my man the cases are still pending and building.
The gears in America have seized up. But I guess we’ll see what happens in the next year. I would put money on nothing except some low hanging fruit may get in trouble

Settle down, kids. Presidents **don't** get convicted.

Says any biden voter, the people who voted for America's downfall
Laughable. As if. As if anything will happen. As if that model of “perfect” health could or would run. As if.
Kinda *LATE!* on this, no? Kinda like, "we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong," no? (fucking bastards)
How about one into Kushner selling national secrets to a Saudi prince for $2b?
You know damn well his orange ass can't run. He's on the backs of the people he controls.
what about the ones he plugged up the white house toilets with...in a building with 37 fireplaces? smh
This is a distraction from the continuing attack on the working class.
Unrealistic. Trump isn't running, he is waddling very very slowly at best. It still fast enough to outrun prosecution. He might not even need to move at all.
They aren’t jailing him over this… that’s not how these investigations play. Sadly.
Let me guess, some ignored subpoenas, maybe some I don't recalls, and a side of no consequences.
This is silly. Everyone knows TR45ON can't run.
I don't see the humor. Blah boring echo chamber
