    I’ll believe it when the DOJ says it. Trump could tell me the sky is blue and I’d still go check to make sure.

      That’s a good rule to live by but I think we can take this one at face value. He’s definitely going to get indicted again.

        And based on his history of never being punished for anything ever, nothing is likely to come of it.

        But at least it sets a precedent that being president doesn’t make someone 100% immune.

          Trump has been punished thousands of times by the legal system. He’s been sued way more than other rich people because he commits small crimes as part of his business. Stop saying he’s never been punished.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_business_legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump

          What you mean is, he hasn’t been punished enough. This year is the first time he’s been criminally indicted. If it follows his history, he’s going to plead guilty and try to negotiate probation.

          He never fights unless the opponent is small. The State of New York has won against him many times. He actually rolls over very easily compared to actual mob bosses.

      I was hearing a few days ago that a target letter was either in the works, or already delivered, although at that time, the person who was the target was not released. I’d believe it.
