Any distinction between the former president’s White House bid and his criminal defense is vanishing as the charges against him mount.

    That’s the whole point of the bogus charges and the whole witch hunt. To lower Donald Trump’s re-election chances.

      Wrong term, a witch hunt is an investigation that isn’t based off evidence, there is a metric ton of evidence, witnesses, and admission of guilt.

        he’s literally on tape flaunting secret materials in front of unauthorized people…this level of cognitive dissonance is truly astounding.

        conservative logic: trump is god and can do no wrong

      The charges aren’t bogus. It’s not a witch hunt. donald trump is a proven fraud.

      Can you provide some reasons why the charges are bogus? Do you believe they lack evidence? Do you think they will be thrown out? One in particular catches my attention as there is a federal case being presided over by a judge he appointed, so also curious how that isn’t also bogus in that it’s a conflict of interest. I know he’s got like 3 different active state and federal cases going so take your time in answering.

        I mean, there are so many it’s hard to begin. The one regarding his handling of secret materials is something every single high ranking official has done. To put it this way, if other politicians were treated with the same standards as Trump everyone would be under investigations and prosecuted.

          Other politicians return those materials when asked rather than try to hide them and lie about what they have.

          Trump was given ample opportunity to return the materials without facing charges.

            Is that true? What do you mean given ample opportunity

              The National Archives were contacting him requesting the documents back for months before any charges were brought forth.

          Can you show the class where another “high ranking official” kept top secret documents after the government asked for their return? Is the bathroom a valid storage place? Try to answer without consulting fox news.

          The secret materials that he refused to give back, even when raided by the FBI? When everyone else who found secret materials fully cooperated with the national archives?

          Trump lied to the archives, lied to his own lawyer, and showed top secret materials to Kid fucking Rock as a way to brag.

          Then there’s the coup attempts.

          The multiple coup attempts.

          And the insurrection when those coup attempts failed.

          Read the indictment. It says he specifically went behind his own lawyers’ backs to remove the classified documents from where they were stored and moved them to his personal residence after they had already been subpoenaed. …and then basically lied to his own lawyers. The prosecution is going to make the case that this was obstruction of justice.

          The documents aren’t the big problem, it’s that he hid them after repeated attempts. That’s obstruction. He’s also on tape showing a document to an unauthorized person.

      He’s literally the only republican that would get me and several of my friends to vote Biden again. The charges are all very legitimate, he’s going to be convicted. It has nothing to do with him running for president again. I’d bet most of the DNC would love for him to be the candidate again. It’s a near gauranteed win and would drive a ton of easy fundraising dollars.

        I think he has a very high chance of winning

          That’s because you drank a massive amount of Koolaid at a GQP meeting.
