  1. Wow, the eerie feeling of history repeating itself when a political party is dead set on imprisoning their political opponents.

  2. Now that Democrats have normalized lying stealing and even killing in violation of both state and federal laws, Justice has broken down completely. Now we the people of the United States have no moral obligation to obey criminal Democrats but now we have an open door to operate along the same tactics that communist Democrats do.

  3. You cannot run for president and think you are going to get a pass. The President is a citizen of the Republic not a King or Dictator. Trump wants the US to become just like a the old South American Banana Republics.

  4. What he loves to do is commit a bunch of crimes all at once because by the time they get to finishing the investigation it’ll look like everyone is gaining up on him. Then he’ll cry wolf and his gullible supporters will eat it up 😂

  5. If he's soooo INNOCENT, why does he keep avoiding going to court ??? A innocent person would say ok lets GET THIS OVER WITH because I'M INNOCENT !!! When you keep delaying, avoiding, and pleading the 5th then you are pretty much GUILTY !!!

  7. He tried to steal the presidency in front of us all. People died. It can’t be this god dam hard to hold him accountable. Why is he walking free and still allowed to threaten us?

  8. Total Corrupt Justice System. Why don't they do these type of investigations and prosecutions on both sides of the aisle? At least then we could clean up the government.

  9. Our government failed us. Trump should have been arrested on the evening of Jan 6th. There is more than enough evidence on tape. Dragging this out 3 years is a travesty of misjustice.
