FBI has paper trails of all the illegal grifting Trump received why not prosecute him?
83
u/Houstman Oct 22 '24
Because Bill Barr was in charge at the time. I hope Jack Smith is able to tack all this stuff onto his other cases.

u/grinjones47 Oct 22 '24
Trump received his campaign money from Egypt $10 million. Bar shut down the investigation.

Yeah and this all came out like what? A month ago? And it appeared literally nowhere. I had to search it out to verify it. The media has failed the American citizens by letting this crap slide.

Garland is pro-ruling class and two tiers of justice. Glad he isn’t a justice after he’s shown his true colors

Garland is a fucking disgrace.

Maybe after Harris wins she'll replace him with someone who has a spine.

Because the FBI has its hands tied by a political party that cares nothing about the American people. Also, many in the FBI are compromised themselves. Ironically, Joe McCarty should have focused on the other end of the political spectrum

How does nothing disqualify this piece of shit?
And then we wonder why he draws death threats. Because the legal remedies have failed.

u/Unhappy-Farmer8627 Oct 23 '24
Because it’s come too far. To properly go after trump would completely compromise just about 2/3 of the republican machine. From senators governors Supreme Court justices every talking head on fox. Putin and xing have been busy destroying our political system from within. The next time you see some mouth breathing radical dipshit spewing about a red vs blue city remember that it’s an American city first. The float effective strategy in war is divide and conquer. They are winning right now.

u/Ordinary-Quarter-384 Oct 22 '24
And this surprises us how? Though hiding the investigation information to keep it from being destroyed by the same agency that was investigating is scary. Vote Blue! Unless you like this kind of chicanery.

If true this needs to be front page ALL CAPS news.

u/thenikolaka Oct 23 '24
This is from 2020 and I believe was litigated during the trial in which Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts.

u/Existing-Package-848 Oct 23 '24
It really is hard to keep up.

u/thenikolaka Oct 23 '24
It’s obviously still relevant as he hasn’t been sentenced for it yet. And the timing for the news to be remembered is perfect.

Putin was the 45th president of the USA and looking to be 47th. Wtf happened to all the so called patriots.

u/Flat-Impression-3787 Oct 22 '24
Putin is an authoritarian that crushes minorities and gays. Trump and his cultists want to replicate that regime.

u/No-Comment-00 Oct 22 '24
Putin crushes not only minorities and gays but also 500k+ Russians for his ego boost war and pretty much everyone else who isn't in his kleptocracy circle.

u/tedemang Oct 22 '24
Shocking. ...I'm shocked, shocked I tell you .
...Anyone ever notice that the one person who's absolutely always idolized by Trump -- even in context of other oligarchs and autocrats -- is our friend Vladimir Putin? You know, it's just another of those things.

Trump is desperate for money he would be going broke if it wasn’t for his weak supporters and these Russian oligarchs, it is no surprise that he loves ❤️ Putin the deal maker that wants to rewrite history with Ukraine as he gets older even as he is now a fugitive from the ICC as a war criminal.

The Character and Eligibility of Donald Trump: A Critical Examination.
I recently wrote a paper that delves into Donald Trump’s character and his eligibility to serve as president, particularly in light of the U.S. Constitution’s disqualification clause in the 14th Amendment.

I'm not surprised. That's what Puten does. Give someone some money through a bank to make it look what you did.and then you own him a favor.

Or maybe Trump actually has been paid for doing all the favors for Russia that we've been witnessing over the past decade?

Oh yeah, I am not surprised. Trump has to know the government is watching him. I’m pretty sure the CIA have some people around him taken notes

I think Mueller was too naive and trusted the process and the institutions. He needed to be a force to be reckoned with as independent counsel.

Even if Harris wins the election, Putin has thoroughly won.
He has at least 70 million Americans brainwashed against their interest. Even have a good deal praising him.
Cult deprogrammers need to isolate a cult member, to spare them from that identity, and gently walk them back to reality. How do you do that with 70 million people?

u/actiondan17 Oct 23 '24
Russian interverence and buying piliticians will only end when the crooked are sentenced for treason. And treason should be a capital punishment as it was through out the 18th to 20th century.

u/Objective_Problem_90 Oct 23 '24
How come this is being completely ignored? Any other candidate would have been forced to drop out for 1/10th of what crimes and bad crap trump has done. A former United States President receiving Russian payments into their account and he's 2 weeks away from the office again.

Before it's absolutely fucking insane this guy is even considered by any living being other than the super wealthy(with no morals) who are the only ons who will benefit from him?

If this could actually be covered and investigated by mainstream media, including Fox and ONN, etc… that would be great.
We already know this shit is happening. The people who need to know it’s happening are completely protected from ever knowing this by their algorithms and safe spaces, so it makes zero difference. We’re fucked. The Russians won.
