He wasn’t charged with federal crimes. He was charged with a state crime done in the pursuit of other (in some cases, federal) crimes. Oh? You know what evidence was presented but not what he was charged with? My “unidentified source” was the wikipedia link I provided in post #142. You’d...

Is there something wrong with your browser? Are you only reading my comments after hitting the “Insert Quote” button? Here are those other crimes, for the third time: “ violation of federal campaign finance limits, unlawfully influencing the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and tax fraud.[a]”...

literally what an nda is

That’s merely one case of four - and the one that virtually everybody thought was the weakest. There’s no reason to think the documents case, for example, was politically motivated, unless you’re just a mindless Trump simp.

All of the indictments came down in 2023, well before the primaries. Any reasonable person could’ve looked at this and saw that there’s a good chance he’s guilty of at least some of those crimes and a decent chance that he’d get nailed on at least one.

Oh, we’re using caps? K I QUOTED THE CRIMES IN THE FIRST HALF OF MY POST THAT YOU CUT OUT. HERE IT IS AGAIN: IS THAT CLEAR NOW? SHOULD I MAKE IT RED??? OR MAYBE YOU COULD JUST GOOGLE IT NEXT TIME SO I DON’T HAVE TO SPOON FEED IT TO YOU. You guys were all so good at “doing your own...

I think that thirst for power has always been there, but it always had to be couched in religious terms that brought along other baggage that limited their capacity to act on that desire for power. Trump was the first big national figure who made them feel like it was okay to really go for it.

No, you don't know what the crime is. Those of us who've paid attention to the case and read something this side of The Federalist, do know. I start to take the questions of legitimacy a lot more seriously when the people asking them are at least aware of the details of the case. Last I...

IME, that's a pretty good synopsis of how arguing with TrumpFans usually goes.

Well, Biden's certainly pivoted on immigration. :rolleyes: Trump has... become more wary of NeverTrumpers in his midst.

I'm often surprised at how low the amounts are when people get busted for bribery. Richard Hanssen got paid $1.4 million over 22 years. He could've taken a consulting job and made that.
