    The Democrats have been doing that ever since Trump took the oath. Obviously they don't give a damn about the principles upon which our country was established - one being equal justice under the law.

    Said in defense of alleged Trump criminality, so there is some irony.

    It's a clear indication of the Party of Trump expectations, "rules for thee but not for me" mentality.

    Are they going to charge him for an unreturned book (from when he was a kid)? I really don't understand your question.

    Here comes the "lock her up, lock her up.." crowd again, whining about perceived political persecution, only to propose locking up a DA for daring to prosecute their dear leader. What would be the crime again that this DA committed to justify jail time? The irony couldn't be more palpable.

    You don’t understand why people would find it strange that you’re objecting to charges when you don’t even know what they’ll be yet?

    You asked a question and it's to that that I addressed.

    Trump and his supporters shouldn't be accusing others of election interference. :)

    Rand is completely arbitrary on this issue, and Bragg just needs to do his job. If that means an arrest in Trump, so be it.

    What a lot of you might not know is that politicians on the left and right have called for NY’s governor to fire Bragg.

    Equal justice under the law, but no Republican is ever guilty.
    Flynn? Nope
    Libby? Nope
    Manafort? Nope
    Stone? Nope
    George P? Nope!
    One ones guilty are those who cooperated with prosecutors I guess lol

    Oh I'm all in favor of him being indicted. It will be amusing watching the DA make an ass of himself.

    Sen. Rand Paul is exhibiting the Totalitarian Syndrome in which anyone who dares question their masters is put in jail. However, the DA is following the evidence and we will see what we will see if the grand jury issues an indictment and on what charges. From my understanding, he is looking into the crime of falsifying business documents, which is a misdemeanor. However, it can be a felony if he can prove that Trump's intentions were to circumvent state and/or federal campaign finance laws in which he misconstrued the payment expenditures for something that was intended for the campaign but in reality was personal.

    Were any of those convictions over campaign collusion with the Russians?

    Agreed. This is like a third world country acts. The political opposition is jailed so that the dictator can take power or consolidate his or her power.

    As for Bragg, watch him run for Governor of New York. If he gets the nomination, he's a winner.

    The votes in New York who vote Democrat think they are educated and sophisticated. Actually they are a bunch of saps who are getting raw deal after every election. They elect a piece of scum, like Andrew Cuomo, and then jump to a dumb fool like Kathy Hochul. She doesn’t even know that parts of her state are in the grips of a crime wave. The New York Democrat voters get what they deserve. For them, there is only one party. The sad part is that those who see the light have to put up with their choices. That's why many of them are voting with their feet and U-Hauls.

    Just one more opportunity for the Democrats to turn the US into a third world country. The open border is another. Fiscal and monetary policies that drive up inflation hitting everyone in the bank account accept the wealthy elites.

    Then where is the lack of equal treatment if you don’t object to any of those prosecutions? And why did Trump pardon them?

    Because Trump had the authority to do so. Are you saying only non criminals are pardoned by the POTUS?

    I suggest MAGAs reread George Washington's Farewell Address, when it comes to tradition.
