Former President Trump Indicted By DOJ

[ZNP]

It makes me wonder why people who can't win enter political races.

To drain the money away from someone else, or to identify a subset of the voters or they are simply trying to increase their name recognition. If you can throw your support behind the nominee and perhaps have 8% of the vote that is significant, you can then campaign for the nominee and if they become president that will enhance your career, and of course you often see them become the VP.

lol, sort of like Jesus said about tallying the cost of building a tower,,,if they didn't have people from his inner circle willing to make a deal they never would have indicted him... https://biblehub.com/interlinear/luke/14-28.htm

I appreciate you enumerating those. That actually was my point. There is always an ulterior motivation.

Nothing like politics to bring out the knives.

I think the main focus is the DT trial,, the weakness is it's not just him but all the others who are not really willing to go to jail to protect him who are also being indicted.

Typical federal prosecution...charge where there is no crime and threaten anyone and everyone, then hope to get process crimes.

lol, just seems like yesterday when the 2016 election was going on and I was saying Trumps gonna be the fall guy and the R's and D's will come out smelling like a rose. Because of his ego Trump was an easy victim to play with so they put him there to take the blame for what they were going to do already...

 

[ZNP]

I remember the last two presidential campaigns 100% of the news seemed to focus on Trump and ignored everyone else in the race. I wonder if this race will be different? Oh well, too late.

I agree that Trump's ego causes the majority of his problems. The R's and D's however are being found out. Too slowly for my liking, but slowly nonetheless.

Yep like when Bush,Perot and Clinton were running they always had Clinton's photo in half the screen and Bush and Perot in just a quarter. Or the OJ trial where they showed him all cleaned up one day but unshaven and mean looking the next...

It turns out this issue of politicians taking documents from the library and not returning them is a big problem, hopefully by making an example of Trump they will put a stop to it.

I worked at the FBO at Hobby Airport Beechcraft. Politicians flew in and out of there every day and were real good friends until the media set up,,then they went from buddies to arch enemies for the camera. When it was over they went to the same Hotels and ate dinner together,,it's like Gunsmoke it's a TV show...
