breaking news: trump indicted

I can say with certainty that Trump did this on purpose with the full intent of ensuring that he would be indicted when running in 2024. This is just how Trump operates because of his ego and narcissism. Trump knows that he cannot run a repeat of his 2016 campaign because he now has a record. He also doesn't have Bannon or any of the people who helped him craft his message in 2016. So, he is going to make his campaign about being persecuted by Biden to keep the focus away from the fact that the only thing he delivered as president were huge tax cuts for the rich.

And this is not a hashtag resistance/blue check point of view. It is right wing stalwart Bill Barr's assessment.

Well, I stopped posting on the thread for older runners because of personal attacks on me. I would assume far more often and unfair than anything I posted in response to you. That said, I apologize for any unfair comments I ever posted to you.

A morally bankrupt, godless people "vote" their way into a 2-tiered justice system like we have in America now. Politics above country, secure enough votes to "win" by any means necessary. Endlessly investigate your biggest political rival and charge him with anything you can, even though your own party has committed far worse versions of the same alleged crime. Anything goes in America's last days as a 50 state union.

Jeez, I thought you were just an old racist a-hole, but you're actually completely f*cking insane.

What traditional values does trump stand for? Sexually assaulting women and getting away with it? Getting divorced multiple times? Paying for abortions?

And Trump knows this, which is a key reason why he says the Dems are “coming for” the little guy when they come at Trump. That’s actually partially true, because if they lose Trump, they lose their cudgel, they lose some of their voice and power within the party. And he loves their adulation, but they’re being duped to whatever extent any of them actually think he feels one iota of genuine kinship with them, that he truly cares about their daily lives, or that he understands their values beyond the most superficial pronouncement that America used to be “great” and no longer is.

So much freakin competition, but the lib Deep State FBI belief is one the more stupid Trumpisms.

Yep, for generations, young liberals with colored hair and useless majors and socialist ideals have sat in their dorms rooms with their bongs and dreamed about being......FBI agents. I mean, everyone knows that. It's infested with libs. Just ask the dumbf****s that constitute roughly 1/3 of this country.

And anyway, of course in blue areas education levels are higher, marriage rates higher, income levels higher, etc. the Dems are the traditional ‘work hard, study hard and hang in there’ people.

Trump took the documents on purpose, jerked the DOJ and the FBI around on purpose, and he obstructed the investigation on purpose. But are you saying he purposely got himself indicted and charged because he thought it would be good politically? I'm sorry, but that's pretty far-fetched. He's got plenty of stuff flying to play the persecuted victim card, without actually getting himself prosecuted for multiple felonies. He's nuts and lacks perspective and vision, but he's not that nuts. Nobody is that nuts.

closer to trump you are, the more likely you are to commit crimes.
trump’s CFO went to jail for trump, now this guy. so many people close to trump commit serious crimes. Remember all those colleagues trump had to pardon?

Trump aide Walt Nauta has been INDICTED alongside Donald Trump, the WSJ reports.
Donald Trump just confirmed the report on his social media app.
Nauta had reportedly been intricately involved in moving boxes of classified documents before federal agents searched the property last year.

That needs to be balanced against the clear corruption of the current Administration, and the lengths it will go to eliminate the Trump threat. I believe in spite of all his faults, after all the investigations, clearly partisan, he survived. That is why he must be elected in 2024. He is the only one with experience, and strength to turn around the very weird stuff going on in this Country.

I keep hearing wingnuts say that if they can do this to Trump they can do this to anyone.

Well I agree. We are all supposed to be equal under the law. He is not an emperor. If he broke the law, he should be brought to book for it. He'll have his day in court to answer the charges.

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

The system is working as it should

there is zero clear corruption of any kind in the current administration. only rumors, innuendo and lies.

The Trump admin was the most openly corrupt since Reagan's. So many criminals.

Hard to believe how upsidedown this poster is.

nah no way. Good poster but this is not reasonable.

Everything Trump knows might be summed up:

1/ do the same thing every time, just ramp up intensity

2/ Trump believes he is untouchable.(because he was untouchable for decades due to NY corruption)

Trump thought he could do anything and get away with it. And judging by the R response to his long rapsheet, if it were up to Republicans, Trump WOULD get away with everything.

Here is a list of Trump associates that have been indicted in the last 4-5 years, some of them by his own Justice Department:

Paul Manafort

Alan Weisselberg

Rick Gates

Michael Cohen

Roger Stone

Mike Flynn

Steve Bannon

Rick Gates

and now add

Walt Nauta

Donald Trump himself

(more to come?)

I'm not seeing where Barr has stated that he thinks Trump's plan was to intentionally get indicted. Did I miss something? He defends the Department of Justice and in another interview stated he thinks it's a pretty straight forward case.

I agree with most of that, especially that the Republican Party is a problem too. Leadership generally is poor, incompetent, self serving.

I have to say I am taken aback by some posters in this thread. it is very rare to find people fully immersed in the Fox News view of Trump that are still true believers. Most Trumpers here know he is loathsome, corrupt and they play a trolling game here. They like him because he hates who they hate and they love his grievance stage show.

But to read that some still truly believe he is a God fearing moral choice for a leader is outright frightening.

I simply will never understand how people can buy into the Trump perpetual con show? You seriously can’t tell when he is lying?

Let's not overlook Trump's propensity to turn every action against him into a money making opportunity.

Trump wastes no time turning indictment into a fundraiser

A Trump 2024 campaign email calls the federal indictment a "disgusting act" and asks supporters for money to "prove" they are against "the radical left."
