    "Mike Pence let me down."
    Mike Pence honored his solemn oath. trump didn't.
    trump let AMERICA down.
    The end.
  • If he doesn’t end up in prison for the rest of his miserable life there is something seriously wrong with our justice system

    "I don't see why it wouldn't be insurrection by Trump."
  • "Just say the election was corrupt then leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen," DJ Trump. I think that clears up what trump knew.
  • @MarkTubeG
    It's important to get a Federal conviction, but equally important to get a State conviction as well, ideally more than one state. The GOP could pardon Trump, but a president can't pardon a state conviction, nor can a governor pardon a federal one. Trump MUST be convicted, and his prison time MUST be pardon proof.

    Always good to remember that Merrick Garland was the lead prosecutor against the Oklahoma city bombers, the Unabomber, and the Olympic bomber -- where he earned the reputation within the DOJ for being silent but absolutely lethal.
  • There are so many involved in this scheme that we really should be worried. These are academically credentialed individuals and top of the food chain types that they really can do some lasting damage. They should all be locked away for 30 or 40 years w/o parole just to set the example for the rest of the wingnuts. Do this shit at your own peril.

    "Severe legal peril" BEST THREE WORDS WE COULD HEAR.
  • How many times in the last 6 years has this been a headline? Yet there have been zero charges against Trump. Just sayin
  • My protective Guardian Angels tell me that DJT is NOT EXACTLY HONEST...
    and hasn’t been for at least half a century.
    Nor was his daddy. Nor was his granddaddy. Understatements!!!
    Past time to hold him accountable,
    Mr. Garland and America! 🗽
  • @MrMisuma
    Didn’t Trump try to blackmail a leader from another country and yet, nothing happened.
  • @alvincook8888
    "Fake" was part of Trump's language from the beginning.
    Referring to "fake news!" Ironically, everything he accuses others of..he's doing!
  • @CCPLord
    For abt 6 years CNN been saying that... Yawnz
  • Not only must he end up in prison, he should pay for what all the investigations has cost the country!
  • @jnagarya519
    It's key for Trump to get the message that declaring his candidacy for election won't stop the investigation.
  • Note to self: Never call something "fake" in retrievable media if you don't want to get prosecuted.

    " My prison cell will be the nicest and best cell ever." " This I can tell you." " The world has never seen such a well appointed perfect cell."
  • I admire all the thorough and tireless work being done to hopefully one day make Donald Trump face justice for all the damage and pain he has caused to the USA.
