    already did, and you still failed to understand, not sure I can help you any more than that

    "No I don't think he's innocent at all I don't think anybody is.'

    you think anyone that takes the 5th is guilty?

    you're blaming me because you failed to communicate?
    I don't know that sounds like an assumption and you probably make that assumption based on how you feel about the person taking the 5th.

    LOL we're calling out the left for your comments when Trump did vs your comments now. The comments are shocking from you guys compared to your Trump comments. When he got in his media fights, we heard you shouting from the mountain top saying things like watergate, trying to federalize the media, Trump's a racist blah blah blah. It's hilarious actually.

    Exactly what I wondered when Trump announced his candidacy.
    There are some who want the power and clout of the presidency. I believe others would like to have a positive effect on our country.
    We haven't been getting the best and brightest for awhile. I don't think it's the money, presidents can make a lot of money afterwards with speaking engagements and book deals.
    I don't think many want to have all the scrutiny and headaches that comes with the presidency. Look at before and after pics of Obama and past presidents.

    I'm not trying to say anything I successfully stated it.

    I'm not sure why you temperately lost the ability to understand English.

    If you thought that was the gist of his advice, you didn't pay attention.

    Everything you say to the police can be used against you, and it cannot be used for you.

    See 9 minute mark of the video.

    yep, once she knew no laws were being broken, that is when as an office you should leave, your job is done there

    cops are not your friends

    this is true, many people in prison are there cause someone talked

    this is why sometimes they bust people for tax evasion, rather then the actual crime, some crimes are hard to prove if no one talks or confesses

    ~ Most of Obama’s administration took the 5th. Eric Holder flat out refused to comply. Republicans should learn a lesson . ✔

    Can't really communicate with you if you're giving me faulty feedback.

    The supreme court seems to think that its even more dangerous for an innocent man to talk to a grand jury:

    Grunewald v. United States, 353 U.S. 391 (1957)

    Don't talk to a grand jury either. The time to talk is in open court.

    A crook is still a crook. How do you think these mom and pop contractors and workers feel about not getting paid because rich people have abused the system for decades?

    I dunno, maybe they file too :) But as long as you got the point, that being, Trump is actually a small fish in a sea of mega rich that use bankruptcy laws to leverage and manage loses...

    While the guilty have rights too, the entire point of the right is to protect the innocence of the innocent, not the guilt of the guilty.

    Assuming guilt defeats the point

    yep, the time to make up ones story is after they heard all the evidence, prosecution always presents their case first
