"Anything you say in this examination may be used in a civil proceeding, and that can include a civil enforcement proceeding or a criminal action. Do you understand that?" James asked.

"I think," Trump replied.

"Is that yes?" James asked.

1. Smart move by Trump

He couldn't care less about any fines incurred

[Siwsan]

2. I guess that confirms he's a mobster

[Harker]

3. Pleading the Fifth and being a fool are demonstrably not

mutually exclusive.

[Jarqui]

4. Hopefully, these videos get a lot of play in the media after showing some of this:

5. TFG was recently saying very nice things about Al Capone.

They got him on tax evasion, he spent five years in Alcatraz then died at home in Florida from late-stage syphilis powerless and isolated. I can fantasize about TFG meeting a similar fate.

7. One of those rare occasions when you WANT history to repeat itself

or at least rhyme.

[Grokenstein]

6. Trumpniks will gawk at these clips and respond:

"Total baller power move on TheDonald's part! Witch hunt! Now do Hunter's laptop!"

He knows he broke the law and he's lying. THEY know he broke the law and THEY're lying.

8. Found his new hat!

9. Image makes my skin crawl. nt/

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. He doesn't look healthy

[Marthe48]

11. surly, sullen, resentful

delivering his comments and replies about the same way he spoke after his mob attempted a coup on the U.S.

He will never admit he's wrong, not to others, not to himself.
