Trump Indicted For Keeping Documents After Being Issued A Subpoena And Then Lying About Them And Obstructing Justice

There, fixed it for you, Dishonestjohn.

Meanwhile, out in Republican Land:
Republican Group Taunts Trump With His Own Damning Words In Fox News Ad

“Donald Trump likes to talk about throwing his political opponents in jail for mishandling classified documents, but he’s the one who stole government secrets from the White House and refused to give them back,” Sarah Longwell, the organization’s [The Republican Accountability Project] executive director, said in a news release. “We’re reminding Republican viewers that he should be held to his own standard.”



"LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!"

Thoughts about holding Trump to his own standard?

Trump lovers love to pretend that the stacks of boxes at Mar-a-Lago didn't contain hundreds of pages of classified documents.
And Trump lovers like silly eat it all up .. :laugh: :laugh:

sillydummy, the hundreds of pages of classified documents recovered from a Mar-a-Lago bathroom and a storage room with a photocopier is what upsets people, not to mention Trump's obstruction of justice documented by his own lawyers.

The mystery is, why don't even Trump supporters get upset about obstruction of justice when it was proved that he had the documents he claimed he didn't have? Even Trump doesn't deny he had the documents, but somehow you still do deny it and are just fine with his obstruction.

^^^^^^^^^ As always, johnforbes seems to be wandering around lostin an intellectual wilderness.

This is his own thread and he can't seem to grasp its topic, even though it is right there in his own thread title.

What we DO know is this thread is not about a Dr. Rochelle, mRNA, vaccines, or even science.

Snap out of it, johnny. Watching non-stop mindless Republican propaganda is enough to disorient anyone.

"Is there any security risk when your son is an addict doing business for money and selling influence?"-johnflubs

No. Besides EVERYONE (even you) does "business for money", you moron.

And he wasn't "selling influence."

He was threatening someone. Threatening someone to get money is not "selling influence" by any stretch of the imagination.
You don't have to threaten someone to get them to accept influence that would benefit them.

You seem totally ignorant of how "selling influence" works. But you're ignorant of virtually everything, so we shouldn't be surprised.

Wrong.

He was demanding money and explaining what would be done to him, by his father, by those they knew, if they didn't get it.

"18 U.S. Code § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses"

Everything else aside in your seriously flawed partisan position, what you described is not bribery, dummy, so statues against bribery don't apply. Any actual lawyer knows this. One must commit bribery to be charged with bribery.

"He was demanding money and explaining what would be done to him, by his father, by those they knew, if they didn't get it."-johnflubs

What you describe is extortion, not bribery, dimwit. And it still has nothing to do with Joe.

Take a class already.
