3. Cause charges would be subverting our democracy...the mind spins at the hypocrisy.

These folks are as terrified themselves at the sword of Justice falling on their necks as well, hence the flopsweat on this latest hypocrisy.

What more do The Prosecutors know that the flop sweaters don’t know, and the public don’t know?

When we all find out there won’t be kangaroo court Fox scripted investigations, they will all be too busy lawyering up!

4. What's Kevin's take on when John Edwards was found guilty of using campaign money to cover up

an affair?

It was a crime when Edwards did it. It was a crime when Trump did it. Michael Cohen did jail time for his part in it because he followed Trump’s orders. Why should Trump not face a jury?

5. Edwards was found Not Guilty

The Bunny Mellon money was being scammed by his chief aide who was using the stolen "campaign" money to build this aide's own dream house south of Chapel Hill. Since the aide had been granted immunity on BBC all charges, nothing ever happened to him, and I believe he kept the money.

It was a crime, but Edwards did not do it!

11. Understandable. The MSM barely covered the verdict

Almost no one reported the verdict correctly. Most media sites focused on the hung jury verdicts and ignored the primary verdict. By the following Monday, the MSM had quickly moved on to other stories -- not how certain but wrong their coverage had been for months.

with a pregnant wife at home?

Make sure you ask that question to every Republican who supports this bozo, because that's what they are doing in this case.

7. Federal funds being used for politically motivated prosecutions?
Sat Mar 18, 2023, 07:33 PM
Mar 2023

Would that be like using federal funds to investigate a consensual affair between two adults?

Subvert our democracy?

Um, the person being investigated and likely indicted is an ex president who tried to hold onto to power by SUBVERTING DEMOCRACY. Get real, little boy Kev.

10. Please copy some of the context when linking to musk's platform.

Mar 2023

None of this is visible to me since I block all twitter content.

What most posters do is copy the image from "twimg.com" which is also tracking views. Those of us who have blocked anything to do with the fraudster/libertarian musk won't see anything other than a link. Not very useful.

Thanks!

This is a State case, why would there be any Federal $$$'s involved?

14. Maybe the true purpose is to support the adulterous clown in whatever he is trying to do.

It would not surprise me at all if there was an effort from right wing media and the house to stir shit up tomorrow and until he is indicted as well.
