I hate that this is such a 'meh' moment for me. This is just so petty and basic by his standards. Barely even news.
In all likelihood it's a "meh" moment that's going to seal his legal fate.
We are still playing the 'this is the one' game I see
I don't know if this is the one or not, I'm just saying that if he does get in trouble it'll likely be from something boring like tax evasion, than something exciting like treason.
haha yep, “walls are really closing in on him now.”
The fact that this orange dotard’s meager wealth is enough to escape any form of justice is a testament to how broken our system of government has truly become.
The walls keep closing on him but he has the money to buy an unlimited number of 12 foot ladders
Is it though? Because he clearly admitted showing classified documents to people, and then lying about what happened.
If he can share national secrets with other countries that are known to fund his businesses and still run for president, this ain't gonna stop him. Then once he becomes president he makes all this go away, again.
You're FAR more optimistic than I am about that...
If it was either of us we'd be in jail every second we didnt pay that back + a decade of interest and penalties. Apparently it's not enough to keep a conman from running for President though.
even though this amount of money would be life changing, even if it were split between 100 people. man, we are desensitized.
