But no really, I get it may seem crazy to those on the right to indict a former president, but I would say it's a good thing given one of the founding tenets of the United States was that the leaders were specifically NOT to supposed to be Gods.
I mean, could you imagine how fast someone other than Trump, like some pleb intern or something, would be thrown in federal prison if they took all of those documents?
Yet we give them the ultimate power to pardon whoever they want. Who thought that shit was a good idea lol? Also how supreme court justices are put in power, this orange man chose how many? Like 3 supreme court justices who are currently in power, and now he's being indicted! LOL
Damn that’s a great point.
I feel like everyone is so used to Trump violating one sacred cow after another that this isn’t even registering for a lot of the country.
Even folks who are anti trump have been conditioned to think he’ll just get away with this like always.
Man, I really hope something comes of this, but I'm not that optimistic. If it ends up being nothing and they settle or something, it's just going to give him and his people so much ammo going into the election season.
I wonder if this time we'll get a mugshot or perp walk out of it? Man, wouldn't that be something?
It would be a weird catharsis for sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully supportive of any and all charges against the cretin, but at the same time it's a reminder of just how ridiculous and sad the past 10 years have been.
Yeah, I think just being able to see the actual visualization of someone not getting away with blatant crimes is very cathartic.
I hope he'll end up in an actual jail, but if he ever gets sentenced, I imagine it'll be house arrest at Mar a Lago. He'll keep living a comfortable life, just with somewhat limited freedom. His kids will continue his grifting empire and make sure daddy is able to keep influencing people.
that seems like the sad truth.

I’m always hesitant to think anything is going to come out of developments like this - but something might actually come out of this.
yeah, this isn't just some promise to "look into it". he's been indicted on some extremely serious federal charges... something IS finally happening. AT FUCKING LAST. Also, the DOJ will likely be prosecuted in the South Florida District, which means it wall all transpire in Trump's back yard. He'll hate that.
This may finally be what we've all been waiting for.

Looking at this as non-partisan as I can... if Hillary wasn't convicted for essentially doing the exact same thing (and deleting the evidence...) then I really don't see any way for Trump to be convicted either.
