Will Donald Trump ever see justice?


I'm skeptical, because in a just world this p.o.s. would have been prevented from ever getting near the levers of power by those in a position to stop him, who knew exactly what he is and how much damage he would so.

Not even Methuselah lived long enough for that, never mind whatever TFG has got left.

the wheels of justice just turn far too slowly. if he was 40 i would say a resounding yes, but he will delay, stall, appeal, cheat and coup his way through the rest of his days. his lawyers will be busy, he will be golfing.

indicated? i say yes. but not convicted.

will suffer financially; he’ll die knowing he had a chance to make the world better for millions, and failed; and hopefully worse.

My Dad was the controller and lead HR guy at the law firm where Rudy Giuliani worked.

My dad knows all these crooks, he personally fired Giuliani for his shenanigans.

A lot of powerful people would have to fall before TFG and that will never happen nationally or even in the Southern District of NY.

turn on him right. IOW, let's just say one of them had a recording of trump talking about how he was going to perpetrate a crime. There is ZERO reason to rat him out. Unless there is leverage - a serious crime that they themselves have committed.

And if he has to pay $ he will. He'll just rob peter to pay paul. But he will never admit he did anything wrong, ever.

He's a slippery eel. I grew up in NJ, so I've known about that scumbag my entire life.

Apparently remembering hopes that Bushco would be held accountable.

Or, perhaps a lack of confidence in the DOJ.

One could go on and on, but presidents have been Teflon to date in accountability. One hopes Trump's crimes being so obvious and so easy to prosecute would change that, but so far we're not seeing it. Perhaps his taxes will make it unavoidable, though.
