    78 felony counts over 3 indictments and yet to be handcuffed, mugshoted, or even have to post bail. They let him keep is passport for cripes sake. And here he is violating the judges orders while speculating about leaving the country.

    Can you imagine where we'd be if that was me or you?

    We'd have been woken at 6AM with a knock (or not) and a warrant, stripped of our phones, belts, wallets, and shoelaces, and frog-marched out in handcuffs in full view of media and everyone else to be hauled down to the station to processed including mugshots and fingerprints, then left in a holding cell until we went in front of a judge to arrange some sort of bail package.

    And the second we threatened a witness or prosecutor we'd forfeit our bail and be back in a cell.

    It's time to stop with the special treatment and treat Agent Orange like the criminal he is.

    I want to see the guy in cuffs as much as anyone, but I get why he's getting the soft treatment. The DoJ has to tread carefully for the sake of optics. Yeah, the MAGA gargoyles are going to say it's a political prosecution no matter what. Regular folks and the rest of the world need to see that there's still respect for those who have held the office, though, even when they don't deserve it.

    I agree with @Burzmali that some deference should be given to a presidential candidate. But it should not be unlimited. And Trump is abusing that deference. I believe he needs, at a minimum, a gag order about the cases. If he wants to run on becoming "the victim", then he should seek a speedy trial. Not delay. NO honest judge should fall for that.

    That's because they know the cases against Trump are all BS. Hell, they even expect Trump to be nominee for 2024. That tells you something right there.

    Hey libs, do you know that game you're addicted to where no matter what the subject is one of you ALWAYS drags in a person not related to the topic? Do you mind if I play?

    Here's are some justice tiers you might want to consider.

    Person A allegedly deletes videos and is charged for it.
    Person B deleted emails and is let off scott free.
    ................

    Person A has documents at his home and is charged for it.
    Person B has documents in his garage and scattered throughout other places and in let off scott free.
    Person C has documents on her home server and is let off scott free.
    ..........................

    Person A gets no prison time for illegally buying a gun and tax crimes.
    Thousands of people currently sit in prison for gun and tax crimes.
    ...........................

    Tens of thousands of people rioted, looted, burned, assaulted and murdered over the course of months and the VP offered to bail anyone out on the off chance they got arrested, and where the MSM said property damage is not violence.

    One protest where not person was armed, where property damage was minimal compared to your typical left wing riot, where the only person who died was a white woman protester, and where the end result was nothing changed other than AOC needing therapy for PTSD. People were locked up with no bail, the FBI scoured the entire country looking for anyone who was there, people got arrested just for standing on the grounds and a wall was put up around those grounds even though we are constantly told walls don't work.

    Hell, no other former president would have even been charged. So yeah, there's definitely a two tiered system...lol

    I doubt the media would show up at your house while you're being arrested.

    They're treading lightly because they know they don't have a case. If this scheme goes tits up on them, they don't want to put themselves in a position where they can be charged with anymore crimes than the ones they can already be charged with.

    Yeah I know…. And on the other hand we have a hunter Biden that was handed over 20 million in cash from foreign governments that his father helped him obtain, bought a gun illegally, has tax violations, didnt register as a foreign agent and they were willing to give him a deal to only slap him on the wrist. Man that double standard is amazing.

    When the FBI arrested Roger Stone, they called in CNN to cover the event before sunrise. I guess the Justice Department thinks that the whole country is a bunch of far leftists, like they are, and will care about seeing this event brought into their living rooms. All they saw was an old man, taken out in cuffs, who had not been accused of a violent crime.

    Contrast that with the BLM, summer of 2020 rioters who burned buildings, looted stores and killed a few people. The Democrat candidate for Vice President of the United States called on people to contribute bail money to get them out of jail.

    Yes, the Progressive Democrats do have a two tier system of justice. It is blatantly obvious.

    If "they" want to insure Trump's nomination, treating him like any other citizen by expediting the cases against him is the way to go, if his candidacy demands that he clear his schedule.

    Despite his lashing out irrationally at judges, prosecutors, and many who served in his administration, he often brays that he is innocent of all charged, and since grand juries have assessed the evidence and determined that prosecution is appropriate, he can rely on juries of his peers to give careful consideration to his attorneys' refutations of those charges, if any.

    His crapping on officers of the court only has entertainment value for his weird worshipers, and is irrelevant in all the legal proceeding he faces.


    Running for public office is not a way to avoid justice in America.

    Showing the same contempt for law and order as he shows for the nation's democratic system is not a defense.

    Trump is sounding as if his diaper change is overdue.

    He shouldn't be being prosecuted by the deep state at all.

    You left out a few things.

    Person A was asked to give them back and refused to.
    Person B was asked to give them back and said no problem here you go.

    You left out a few things.

    Person A believed he was allowed to have them and it was no secret he had them (which according Comey he didn't intend to commit a crime so he should be good to go)
    Person B KNEW he wasn't allowed to have them, had no excuse for having them, and gave them up to make himself look good. Person B probably would not have done dick if Person A didn't get raided, after all, he had years to turn the stuff over but didn't.

    Knowing you, I'm quite sure you don't even KNOW what Trump is being charged for. But, does it matter?

    Nobody has defined what a "Political Cult" is better than Trump did: It's the belief that the leader is innocent even if he stood in the middle of 5th avenue and shot somebody.

    Get real. Cornell West joined the race and started showing up in the polls and tada.... the IRS suddenly finds he has a tax problem. The Democrat Party will target for criminal investigation ANY politician that stands between them and the White House.

    Literally two weeks after Cornell West poll numbers indicate that he could sabotage the Democrat chances and the charges against him come.
    upload_2023-8-9_16-29-6.png

    Now you will explain what a felonious scumbag that Cornell West is and why he should be in prison and should be erased from the ballot. All I can say is don't bother. I can read the MSM talking points as well you can. I don't need to be spoon fed propaganda in order to form an opinion about the Democrats unprecedented descent into banana republic norms.

    If you want to pretend that any of this has a damn thing to do with the rule of law, be my guest. Here in reality, we can see exactly what is going on.

    Selective enforcement is one issue that makes both parties hypocrites.
