Number of charges/counts is meh. It's what they have actual proof for. 

I know someone who had a long long list of counts and they could only actually prove one; resulted in like 6 months probation or something. Nothing NEAR what it could have been if they had actual proof of the other charges. 

 

I'm waiting to read the indictment before making a judgement. That number is high, no matter who is being charged.

I think you have it backwards.  They're trying to tie it to the election so they can go for the federal election fraud offense because the statute of limitations on the misdemeanor already expired. 

Certainly possible.  I thought the felony was the use of election funds for non-election purposes, but I haven't been following that closely.

Charging someone when you know you can't win is a witch hunt.  Period.  Prosecutors are only supposed to file charges when they have a chance to win.

In that case don’t ever bother bringing charges against any connected politician. They always get off - always.

Someone should have told the prosecutors who went after Rod Blagojevich  this.

Also, both the Senate and the House had committee hearings on Whitewater. Guess HT was too busy keeping the streets safe to watch the news.

Yup. And I’m sure that was sitting on the tip of your tongue, no google necessary. Lol.  But at least you admit this is political, even though you pushed back on that to start. You were for it, before you were against it.  But kudos for coming around. You’re welcome.

I have to think the prosecutors went an extra mile or three here, considering whom they were going after. It better be a somethingburger!

In my lifetime a POTUS lied us into a decade-long nation building exercise that killed thousands of troops and cost us trillions. Nothing at all happened. So when I hear about Russia or the Steele Dossier or this case I roll my eyes. Anyone thinking Don is going to jail is a fool.

I have no idea WTF this has to do with what we were just talking about, but ok.  I'd change the subject if I were you, too.

Hillary and Biden voted for that stupid war too. And every other war.

You’ve always been sort of dim.  

I did get a laugh out of your “change the subject” crack after revisiting Hillary and Edwards though. Well done.

Happy to see no nuts are listening to Trump’s plea to protest so far.

If I may, MDC is a real nice example of The Dunning-Kruger Effect, he is constantly over estimating his understanding.

I'm going to need to see one post made by me claiming I was in favor of charging Trump for hush money. You claimed I said this, now prove it, please. I really don't think I posted anything like that. If I'm wrong, I'll admit.

You were yes. First off it wasn’t a hoax, otherwise Paul Manafort and many others wouldn’t have served time in prison. Second, if there wasnt clear evidence of Trump committing collusion there was certainly tons of evidence of his obstruction of justice as reported in the Mueller report, So yeah you were wrong about the whole thing, still are. 
 

You were also wrong about the first impeachment. Trump was clearly guilty and deserved to be removed from office. He wasn’t because the Senate Republicans who know better were terrified about how the base might react. 
 

You were also wrong about the second impeachment. Once again Trump was clearly guilty. Once again he was saved by cowardly senators. 
 

But most of all you were wrong to vote for a man of such low character to be President in the first place. You hated Hillary so much, and was so eager to say Fock you to liberals that you voted him in. You know what he is. You’ve known it all along. And now you’re stuck defending him because you can’t turn your back at this late date. You’re stuck with him as your nominee and you’re going to get thumped…again. And I suspect you know this deep down as well.

The NY Times and many other leftist outlets claim this isn’t a politically motivated prosecution. They’ll just say anything. 

I just wondered what you thought when the WSJ and other right-wing outlets pursued a political agenda to prosecute a different president. That's not whataboutism, it's called asking if there might be a double standard in play.

And you went back 25 years. You’re damn right I was doing better things back then. You missed a lot of fun. But it was real nice of that degenerate Clinton to get a Cumm stained dress as part of the nightly news.

If you are talking about whitewater, the NYT first raised the issue so yes it is whataboutism.
