    Feds are closing in any day. Trumps ATTORNEY is about to flip on trump @Commodore . The walls are closing in on the con man FAST

    You can con so many idiots on Twitter. The legal system doesn't play around. You can't spin foxnews conspiracies that work on @basso in the court room.

    Trump attorney will testify to the grand jury now about the cover up trump told him to do.

    How embarrassing for our country.

    Someone we elected as President of the USA and was the most powerful man in the world is going to be criminally indicted, and probably multiple times.

    Just keep in mind if it does happen more than likely this won’t be the last time and it will probably be the other party in the future

    Personally I would not mind it happening this puts DeSantis on the platform without a doubt- Someone that has proven himself to be a much more politically driven leader with actual intelligence

    Yeah, it is a bad situation all around.

    I cannot think of a single positive out of any of this.

    Well for one even the most powerful person on the planet at one time isn't immune from the crimes he committed and is being held accountable.

    If
    If a future politician commits multiple crimes and isn't compliant with efforts to correct matters, I hope it does happen.

    Obama was fined $375k for campaign violations. If we're eager to see Presidents and former Presidents persecuted by members of the opposing party, there's potentially no end to it

    Arresting Trump only makes Trump stronger. I can't believe we are at the arresting-political-opponents stage of things, but here we are.

    It’s gross, Trump is gross. However, he deserves what he deserves…

    Jailing your main political rival is undemocratic and wrong. But hey, you do you.

    Which special counsel or DA is running against him? I'm not gonna defend a criminal like you're doing just because he's on my side. I bet you didn't have a problem when Trump was chanting lock her up? You and the other simpletons were eating it up.

    There's all types of problems here.

    Nobody really knows how many federal laws/regulations there are to violate... estimates put it in the hundreds of thousands.

    If you're really motivated, you could find a way to charge anyone in the country with something.

    On 21 August 2018, Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former personal attorney and self-described “fixer”, pled guilty to eight criminal charges, two of which were election law violations concerning the facilitation of hush money payments made in the run-up to the November 2016 general election to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump.

    During a hearing in a Manhattan federal courthouse, Cohen stated under oath that he committed these election law crimes “at the direction of” Donald Trump while the latter was a candidate for president, leading some commentators to classify Trump an “unindicted co-conspirator” (although he has not yet been charged in any crime). One defense against such charges, articulated by President Trump on Twitter the following morning, was that Barack Obama also committed campaign finance violations that were just as bad in 2008, but he was let off much easier:



    In this tweet, President Trump attempted to compare the criminal charges brought against Cohen by the U.S. Justice Department with a series of civil violations brought against the Obama campaign by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), a separate, independent body which cannot prosecute criminal cases.

    While it is true that President Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined a significant amount of money by the FEC, those fines covered civil violations that were different than the criminal infractions admitted to by Cohen.

    I love how they make Soros look like a ghoul and Trump to be a white power handsome fellow.

    Clinton campaign was fined for campaign finance violations regarding the Steele dossier as well.... I suspect if a prosecutor wanted to find some criminal charges in these situations, they probably could.
