What a bunch of crap

Misinformation again.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!! Go GARLAND!!!

So!

Twittergate what everyone should be more concerned Biden and democrats fixed the 2020election. NBC was as complicit as twitter. Don't let them distract yo now from the real issue.

If Trump is found guilty he should suffer the consequences, however the undeniable double standard is tyrannical.

Lock him up

Fake news

Textbook KGB

NBC 'FAKE' NEWS. Enough said.

County 'trial'?

mobster doesn't keep straight books who coulda guessed

healingtouch221 Unfortunately they will skate

Nothing will happen with this case. His age, obesity, and failing health will play a more immediate part in him not being president again

let's hope the feds are adding this to the pile of offenses to indict him on.

Al Capone eventually was caught for tax evasion 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bubba is waiting for you Trump

ALL Politics, purchased by Putin and all Putins spies and agents activated as much as possible to convince Biden: stop US help to Ukraine,talk to Putin. Seems Putin need brake. Those politics betray own countries, they don't care that China will follow winner in this war.

Arrest Trump NOW

Selective prosecution. A large private company often has special perks for senior people in the company - anyone in business with half a brain knows that this is not uncommon practice.

Donald Trump had no idea who Hitler was until Kanye brought him along 2 dinner at Mar-A-Lago ...
