mmmkay. Although Trump lacks people skills, he's not stupid. I dont think if he was faced with trhe the certain impeachment and removal from office Nixon did he'd just stick around. Bottom line is theres alot of allegationsa going around but so...nothing. You seem to be under the impression we the public know everything. What a fool if so.

Says who?

He was named as a co-conspirator in 2 felony campaign finance violations. That's not nothing, that is a fact. Sorry that it doesn't fit your narrative.

You'll have to quote me on that since I never made such a claim. The only things I have said are a matter of public record and easily verifiable.

Now sit the fuck down and try to actually think about or properly support what you're writing before pushing the post button, otherwise you'll keep getting exposed.

exposed? WTF does that mean? Im all for prosecuting those that broke the law. Ive said many times if Trump broke the law, Im expecting charges to be filed. In the case of Nixon, he KNEW it it was irrefutable, so resigned. In his case, the end was deemed inevitable. Impeachment and removal from office. Not enough evidence for Trump?

As far as a court making statements by the court...really? So what? Courts dont get things wrong? Need I remind of you of a dumb Texas judge's ruling that made national news?

Exposed for being wrong, as you usually are in every thread you post.

Nixon resigned because the senate told him they were gonna convict, Trump doesn't have to worry about that in the current climate. The GOP are such fucking pussies that they're refusing to pass the same bill that passed 100-0 to re-open the government, you're free to look for comments from GOP senators brushing off the felonies we're talking about as "inconsequential" and "not a big deal".

Courts do make mistakes, you're right about that.

Pretending that a decision on whether a law is constitutional and testimony under oath that someone is implicated in a felony are the same is a false equivalency. This isn't some nebulous legal argument, if what Cohen said under oath is true (and it 99% is) Trump is guilty. If this was any other citizen he'd have been indicted and dragged to court, fortunately for him he's the president.

OK he's a felon. Now what? He wont be prosecuted. Unless NY charges him after he's out of office.

So now we are talking about how to prosecute him?

There is a pretty good chance he faces NYS charges after he is out of office. It’s hard to argue why he shouldn’t.

"OK he's a felon"

At that point someone might think "I can't support a sitting President who is factually a criminal and doubtful legal immunity doesn't matter, he's been found out and I'm done".

Nope.

It's not like being a felon makes Trump worse than any Democrat.

If he's not stupid how do you explain his comment Russia was warranted invading Afghanistan because they had terrorists? Its either stupid or completely corrupt because that is the line coming from Putin associates.

How is consenting adults entering into a contract our business?

So what you claim to have is two adults agreeing to a contract, and one getting paid?

In other words, you have nothing. Even if it was related to the election, so what?

Explain that to Michael Cohen, sentenced to 3 years in federal prison for deeds performed at the direction of Trump.
