...and threatening liberals and everyone that does not agree with their racist agenda.
But, my fear is that we will not see justice in the Russia investigation. They might decide that it is too divisive and too dangerous to apply justice to Donald J Trump, even if he is proven to be guilty of committing major crimes and racketeering. It would simply be too much for our country to handle. It will be plea bargained away. There will be no justice. That is my fear. The law does not apply equally to everyone.
Hopefully, I will be proven wrong. Money and power will not receive a different form of justice. And it will not matter who gets pissed off in the process.

I don't think that any of them can hold up under questioning from the professionals working for Mueller and Schneiderman.
I think that the crimes that they uncover may be so numerous that the teams of prosecutors may have signed up for lifetime positions.

How hard you try to hide the washing machine has to do with how likely you think the transactions will be scrutinized. Twitler has been doing this for years so I'm guessing he thought he was bullet proof. I believe he is just one of many who will get caught up in this investigation.

When it comes to the court of public opinion, right now, Trump and the GOP have the inside track. They are free to say what they want, condemn the investigators and the investigation, deny any wrongdoing, mock, antagonize and flood the airwaves with their #fakenews crap.
Meanwhile, the left gets a few crumbs because of the steady leaking coming from the White House and from God knows where else.
Bang Bang Mueller's Silver Hammer works in silence, leak-free, steady but quiet. We have no idea what evidence he's already compiled, but the longer we wait to find out, the easier it is to despair.
Chin up, Kentuck. Justice will prevail. And if it doesn't: God Help America.
