The filing included the December 1 memo signed by Trump, which claimed the subpoena had requested an “extremely broad set of materials” and blocked the release of 4,152 documents.

    Well yeah. He’s gotten away with every other time he’s obstructed justice. Why would this be any different?

      Surprise, surprise… political and financial elites hate imprisoning their own kind. It sets a bad precedent, I guess.

      It makes me think of Silvio Berlusconi, who was convicted of a laundry list of crimes by Italian courts… and his only punishment was a week entertaining people at an old age home.

    Why does it fucking matter? He will never have to serve a sentence for anything. His only punishment will be death at an old age… we can only hope that his last years are completely miserable.

      I’m kinda curious now, because, like…

      We all know he rapes little girls. Not even a secret. His followers admit it if you approach them right.

      So what’s he hiding? And is the Epstein stuff the object, or the shroud?

            Actually, it kinda is… I loathe and detest that obese slob and have never had a good thought about him, but pedo conman thief racist that he is, I never thought he murdered kids. I must be stupidly naive, tbh, because he’s directly caused the deaths of a million Americans by his covid mismanagement, caused the genocide of the former long time allies, the Kurds, by selling them out to Turkey. He’s given away probably every espionage source that America has in the ruzzian world, and probably the chinese world too, and I doubt many of those have survived. His mismanagement has caused deaths in plane accidents, and there will be many from his reversal of environmental laws. He killed USAID without the warning that may have saved thousands of lives in poverty stricken nations. He’s directly responsible for the American service members killed in the Kabul bombing during the withdrawal from Afghanistan which HE committed America (and Biden) to. He dealt directly with the Taliban to arrange that little affair, without consulting the actual Afghan government. The Iranians he’s bombed… The people in small boats in the Caribbean… Those National Guard people gunned down the other day? Trumps policies are fucking with the Afghans who served America in that war, and are now here as refugees because the Taliban will execute them… By my count, he’s up around Hitler numbers.

            And yet, I never thought he murdered a child.

            By God, I feel so stupid !

      Nahh. He will have the best medical care money can buy. So he will go just as comfortably as any of the other war criminals that lived in the Waffle House over the years.

      Because after we’re all dead and everyone is reading about this time in history, we want them to know what happened and who stood for what.
