Maybe this is why its taking so long. Shes gonna file indictment proceedings against them all?
And this will be state charges.
No presidential pardons for you.
Oh wait.
What if Lyndsay Graham is in there lmao. He called Rathensburger ( I think that's how you spell it) as well.
Graham is up to his ass in this. 20 years ago I thought he was a bigot, but one who had opinions worth listening to on national security and military affairs.
What a sad little wrinkled balloon he turned out to be. Hope his ass gets indicted too.
If anything, Graham loves things in his ass.
I think he's Ace actually. He's just never seemed like a sexual being at all, like he was carved out of fatback at a Daughters of the Confederacy hall.
He's actually got a codename amongst DC and SC male prostitutes iirc
It’s spelled “Farve”
What? No, it's spelled "Dwyane"
Correct. He will get Republican Governor pardon for this one. Everyone acts like any of these felonies will have consequences. Dudes gonna skate, he needs one dumb red hat in that jury box. One.
Georgia's governor is a Republican.
Thankfully not a full on trump knob slobber though... Still a piece of shit but thank God for small victories.
Except I didn't read anything about Trump being directly in communication...
From the linked article...
That makes him part of the conspiracy.
Not a lawyer, but that doesn't seem like enough to nail someone like Trump. We need actual messages from him. Hopefully I'm wrong.
We don't have all the information that they do, but if someone told Congress, under oath, that Trump was involved with this then that is compelling evidence. In case you are unaware, it is a crime to lie to Congress even when you are not under oath.
You’re right. There would have to be additional evidence for them to even bother indicting. And it seems that there most likely is. But what we do know now in and of itself is a substantial amount of evidence. Testimony that rises to the level of Congressional testimony with corroboration would absolutely be enough.
He was in the room FFS.
I think most people here are under the impression that I'm defending Trump or something. I'm not, and I personally think he should be in jail. What I'm saying is, given the political circumstances, there's going to need to be something directly from him for this to really matter. Prosecutors and judges are being extremely careful to not look biased. But I hope my scepticism is proven wrong. I'm really still in the "I'll believe Trump gets convicted when I see it happen" camp. This all still feels like a show to me. Again, I believe he deserves to be in jail, but I don't think he ever will be. My personal theory is that all these trials are just an attempt to distract him and eat up valuable time and money that he needs to be able to campaign. He ain't getting convicted though, unfortunately. We all know we have a two-tiered justice system in the US. Any average person would be in a dungeon already for what Trump has done.
