In reply to the discussion: It's a BFD that Trump Org and not Trump himself is getting indicted today [View all]Blanks
(4,835 posts)If the federal government were to go directly for Trump himself, the republicans would forever go directly after every Democratic Party president as soon as they leave office (they probably will anyway) but the Manhattan DAs office investigating Trump for crimes at the lowest level of the government and turning it over to the state for state crimes and finding guilt and then the federal government
Investigating federal crimes after the Trump org has already been found guilty of fraud and tax evasion at the city, county and state level looks like the next obvious step.
Its important that it not look like a witch hunt by his political opponent. When the investigation occurs at the county level, its clearly arms length from the current administration.
