Trump said this.

I quoted Trump.

I get it. And Trump believes a foreign enemy dictator over his own experts. Give me the guy that falls down. Are we done on this absurd exchange?

Tim posted that Garcia was (I believe) being treated differently because he was pulled over without a warrant and all the rest that's happened to him. The response was essentially, oh yeah I bet you thought saying Covid came from China was racist. And I posted a response pointing to Trump lapping up Xi's lies as gospel truth over his own advisors. Then you posted a video of Biden falling down. Then I posted a video of Trump using the short steps, like Biden. I do agree from the bolded on down it's outright ridiculous.

It's the "short steps" that Biden was mocked for using because it suggested he was an old man who could not make the full walk up.

No, I'm speaking strictly of supposed corrupt behavior. Though to be frank a presidential candidate engaging in a quid pro quo with the AG of a major state like Florida is more significant to me personally. I also think Blagojevich's crime was more serious but Trump pardoned him.

Thank you.

I get it. Biden also rides bikes and can drive. I can’t even remember the origin of this exchange. I think this was in reply to a point about immigration but I’m not sure. Ah yes Tim pointed out that race is the bottom of all this.

Anyone have a pic of his tattoo? Aren’t there sports fans here? It’s like getting arrested for a flier de lis or Steelers 3-stars tat.

Wait, Laura Loomer’s involved???

I know I’m unusual but I really don’t care about this aspect. If a DOJ does or does not investigate a public official for political reasons it’s corrupt. The problem for Trump is that both aspects in NYC - his real estate fraud & his hush money scandal - emerged from his own DOJ’s investigation into Cohen. That was 100% Trump’s doing. I think the example you’re looking for is FLA AG Pam Bondi dropping the state investigation into Trump Org after receiving a hefty donation from Trump.

Cohen was prosecuted by Trump’s own DOJ. In fact Trump personally interviewed the US Attorney for SDNY.

It was Trump appointee HHS Sec. Alex Azar, January 18, 2020. Prior to that on January 3rd Trump appointee CDC Director Robert Redfield alerted the NSC & IC as to the virus and the warning was included in the President’s Daily Brief (PDB).

Nancy Mesonnier stated it was a national health emergency in the 2nd or 3rd week of February, she was fired for it. But briefings on the WH started the 1st week of January, I have no idea who but it’s easy took up. Trump trusted Xi instead.

January of 2020 our HHS & NIH already knew about the spread of the epidemic and its origin in China. Trump already had received briefings by then, he chose to believe Xi over his own advisors.

Colorado is an actually well run state.

Or $98 per days. Right, $46 per day. Further up I said $50.

There are such laws, they're malicious prosecution suits. I know because I come from a corrupt (yes Dem led) city where prosecutors have been found to manufacture and hide evidence.

From what I recall Clinton got investigated and impeached - which I supported - for seducing a young intern into sex and was also investigated for a real estate deal in which two of his partners went to jail in his home state and this happened in his own DOJ. And Sen. John Edwards was investigated and charged for nearly the same thing as Trump, hush money to his paramour, again in his home state and by a Dem (Obama) DOJ. So I'm not quite sure why a Dem Trump would have avoided what a Dem President and a Dem VP nominee could not have. I mean for gods sake if Obama had been found to have slagged a pron star and a nude model and paid them off? You seriously think he would have survived that?

Then prosecute them. The best course for cleaning the swamp is to investigate public officials or to remind them that they can always be investigated.

I must say, it sounds glorious. Enjoy.

Like I said, you can discuss whether James committed a crime or may have without discussing the Trump issue. Personally IMO if she did commit mortgage or tax fraud should be prosecuted for it.

That's a trick question - he got prosecuted on this because he hung Michael Cohen out to dry, and Michael Cohen never gets investigated if Trump doesn't run because Cohen was running cover on the Stormy Daniels story, which Trump wouldn't have had to do if he hadn't run for office. Trump wouldn't even have paid Stormy if he had just sat tight with his happy little life as a hotel manager.

Exactly. And Jena ain't no picnic either. The Trump administration is spending a wild amount of money on 250 prisoners.

Eh, I won't say that. I take it DOJ prosecutors or VA state DA's will honestly represent what they see to be the facts. Even if it's a bad prosecution - like what happened with the Danchenko and Sussman prosecutions by Durham - the juries will rule decisively against the prosecutors.
