Judging from most of the comments here, most people do not seem to know how the judicial process works. I personally do not know either, but one thing I know is in the case against Trump, all the “I”s have to be dotted and all the “T”s have to be crossed. Yes, it is slow and long, but in all fairness, the roadblocks and attempted roadblocks from Trump’s defense team is a major factor in this process. They will throw every trick in the book to derail the process and use whatever law they deem necessary to slow and halt the proceedings. Buckle up people! It’s going to be a long ride!


Alice Morriss just today the FBI told the Washington Post. That the documents that they went through it more Largo. Had absolutely nothing nefarious or malicious in their contents. The Democrats have investigated Donald Trump's six ways to Sunday for 7 years. And they have nothing. They spied on the Trump campaign and have nothing. They created the fake Russia collusion hoax. And have nothing. So they use a page out of the Hitler Playbook. If you have nothing on your opponent. You use the 98% media Outlets that you own. And you repeat thoroughly. Lies, slander, propaganda and innuendos. Was absolutely no proof and no facts. And you persecute them in the eyes of public opinion. And you people fell for it without even doing any research. Now that's sad to know that people don't have a clue what's going on in their own country. Change your media Outlet once in awhile


Mike Blay with all of the evidence that was thrown on the table against Hunter Biden and possibly Joey's connections to nefarious deals and foreign countries. Don't you think Garland should have put out a special counsel to investigate all of this? They've been investigating Donald Trump six ways to Sunday for 7 years. And they have nothing. They spied on the Trump campaign. And have nothing. So they used a page out of the Hitler Playbook. Use the 98% media Outlets that you own. And you repeat the same stories. You throw out lies, propaganda, innuendos and slander. And you persecute that individual in the eyes of Public opinion. My goodness people change your media Outlet just once in awhile. You can choke on the information the Democrat media suppresses to you


Ann Norris my goodness talk about people being dense. The Democrats have investigated Donald Trump six ways to Sunday for 7 years. And they have nothing. They spied on the Trump campaign. And have nothing. They started the whole fake Russia collusion to try and take him out. And have nothing. Today the FBI told the Washington Post. That in the documents that were found at mar-a-largo. There was nothing malicious or nefarious about any of the documents. So once again they have nothing. This is the Democrat Party weaponizing their judicial system to attack a political opponent. Especially after all the information about Hunter Biden and possibly Joey's connection came out. I wonder why they didn't appoint a special counsel to look into that


Mike Blay Please! It takes the Government 4 months to fill in a fking Pothole on a highway? Haven't you people learned anything from being impatient of the Government with Covid? And Trump isn't giving Garland any choice but to Indict? Trump is flaunting his crimes in Garland's face with that spiteful 7 year old girl thing he got going on and daring Garland to do something? If Garland doesn't send Trump to jail for at least 6 months to send a message to Trump's Racists that no one is above the law up in this Mfer, it would be the biggest miscarriage of Justice in US history!


Timothy Brezee oh my goodness you fell for it. The Democrats used a page right out of the Hitler Playbook. They've investigated Donald Trump's six ways to Sunday for 7 years. And they have nothing. They spied on the Trump campaign. And have nothing. The FBI's investigation on January 6th. Found that Trump was not involved and it was not a planned riot. Today the FBI tells the Washington Post. The documents said they went through at Mar Largo. Had absolutely nothing nefarious or malicious in them. So once again the Democrats have nothing. So you use the 98% media that you own. And you repeat thoroughly and continuously. The lies, the slander, the propaganda and the innuendos. Against your political opponent and you persecute them in the eyes of public opinion. My God people change your media Outlet


At least cite Section 3 of the 14th Amendment::
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
In plain language, this generally means that someone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” can’t hold certain public offices.


Terry Smith Trump is not above the law. But neither is he below it like the Democrats are trying to insinuate. They have absolutely nothing on Trump. They have investigated him six ways to Sunday for 7 years. And have nothing. They spied on the Trump campaign and have nothing. They tried the whole fake Russia collusion hoax. And came up with nothing. The FBI that investigated January 6th. Said that Trump had nothing to do with it and it was not a planned riot. Today the FBI tells the Washington Post. The documents that they found at Mar Largo. Had absolutely nothing nefarious or malicious in them. My goodness people change your media outlet and see what's really going on in your country. I mean for the love of your country


Mike Phillips I still doubt it very much that Trump will ever see jail time. Merrick Garland will probably do with Trump what the US Attorney did with Spiro Agnew. To avoid having Nixon resign and a corrupt crook like Agnew taking over, they had him plead to a minor offence of tax evasion with a minor penalty in exchange for him leaving politics permanently. That way they could save face. But mark my words, in order to not alienate the right anymore than they already are Trump will not see any prison time. But hey, look on the bright side. Twitter is failing and Trump will not be able to abuse it anymore.


10ºArslan Laylpuri oh please! There was no fraud or rigged election. Just trump whining because he lost and couldn't handle it. January 6th will go down in history as the day trump tried to get his cult to overthrow a fair and legal election which he lost. They weren't fighting for democracy, they were fighting for fascism because trump wants to be a dictator. Not going to ever happen with that loser. He's a has been and sane people are seeing thru his facade and leaving his cult in droves. He's no Supreme leader other than to the brainwashed cult who lap up his lies like little puppies.
