Criminal Republicans.

Trump today in NY:

[Middle-aged Europe]

Criminal Republicans.

Donald Trump needs a criminal lawyer.

[Senator-elect Spark]

Criminal Republicans.

Donald Trump needs a criminal lawyer.

LOL this. He better call Saul!

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Lol, nothing has happened yet, nothing, everyone is innocent until proven guilty except murders like we knew the people that committed the assassinations and mass murders and they were all Dahmer types including Oswald

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I am not downplaying what Trump did but all of the Defendents got convicted of Mob Action in law school that's a misdemeanor that carries up to 2 yrs imprisonment someone of Trump statue he is innocent until proven guilty on everything else of felony and the Govt isn't gonna get Trump on Mob Action that's too low of a sentence it's gonna be hard to prove a felony that's why GA Prosecution hasn't charged Trump it takes a lot to prove a felony, but Trump is guilty of Mob Action, and he can get as little as probation or up to 1 yr home confinement which is nothing, that's a waste of govt resources Mob Action many BLK protesters get convicted all the time of Mob Action

Rev Barber and Jesse Jackson were guilty of Mob Action protesting Sinema on Voting Rights and they were let out of prison that's how you know DOJ doesn't care about Mob Action

Speaking of Scott Perry...

FBI delivers subpoenas to several Pa. Republican lawmakers

At least some of the individuals receiving subpoenas were told they were not targets of an investigation, according to at least six sources reached by PennLive, but that they may have information of interest to the FBI. All of the sources had been briefed on the investigative moves in some way, but demanded anonymity in order to discuss them.

The information being requested centered around U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and the effort to seek alternate electors as part of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election, several sources said.

I can foresee very ugly congressional hearings for Chris Wray should the GOP retake the House. Perhaps they even attempt to impeach him.

Representative Scott Perry could be only the first of several. It's hard to imagine a more inconvenient time for this scandal to break for the GOP, less than three months before the general election.

Nobody says that law enforcement has any obligation to operate on a convenient schedule for an alleged offender.

The 'alternative electors' were not simply a sick joke. They were the objective, and they are connected to the Capitol Putsch.

Good thing this POS won't be a cop again.

[MiddleRoad]

Lol, nothing has happened yet, nothing, everyone is innocent until proven guilty except murders like we knew the people that committed the assassinations and mass murders and they were all Dahmer types including Oswald

Even murderers are presumed innocent before being proven guilty under the law.

Never say never.

If Trump wins again, this POS could be pardoned.

I would watch a TV show of olawakandi interviewing murders on death row and then breaking down their psychology.

Olawakandi goes to law school the same way Elvis was a karate black belt.

Never elect a politician who has shown a contempt for law. This exempts civil disobedience, which at least recognizes law beyond existing statute, as participating in the Underground Railroad or harboring Jews in Hitlerland would have demonstrated.  So does expressing truths that the regime finds appalling as threats to the blind obedience that that regime desires.

"Law and order" is a favored meme of right-wingers, especially when referring to people not like them or their supporters failing to do as such people want. This said, I interpret the words someone differently -- that one does not do nasty things to others especially in violation of the law,  and that one does not do things that harm the overall community. Trump says the first and violates the second.

Even if I had the idea that robbing a bank or molesting a child was something that I could get away with and would bring me some happiness, I would not do it. That is the first part. The second part is that I actively deprecate behavior such as gay-bashing that makes the world less safe. I used to tell "gay jokes", but that is over because such jokes contribute to hostility against LGBT people.

And another development in the federal investigation:

[GeorgiaModerate]

Colorado judge orders Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis to appear before Fulton County special grand jury: https://www.wistv.com/2022/08/16/trump-legal-adviser-ordered-testify-ga-election-probe/

In other developments in the Fulton County probe, Rudy Giuliani is scheduled to appear before the special grand jury tomorrow (August 17).  Lindsey Graham is supposed to appear on August 23 but is reportedly appealing a judge's order that refused to quash his subpoena, so we'll see.

Giuliani presumably takes the 5th on everything since he's a target now.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

After November the Trump brand name will be tarnished with INDICTMENT, but Trump was an unindicted Criminal already Done Jr allowed Russia to get access to DNC Emails thru WikiLeaks that showed D's bias over Bernie in the primary that's Espionage already

What would of happened if D's did that to Rs it would matter to Rs

Trump was only protected because he couldn't be indicted as Prez and Mueller thought he would pardon his son anyways, he only wants to get back in office to be immune again from prosecutor

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Trump never learns from the first criminal investigation because he was never an office holder he was a real estate agent turned Prez never held office before that's why we should never again elect another Trump they think they are above the law non officeholders

Rs still like Trump
