Aynthing less than conviction AND prison is him once again not facing consequences of his criminal actions.

So I want more.

I want him to escape, to run away and be “chased” by NY State, by the FBI, and finally by Interpol, down streets and alleyways in old European cities, waddling like the morbidly obese lard ass we have all suffered, slow-chased by laughing Interpol agents in “warm” pursuit while the each take videos of the bastard struggling to move and wheezing -- before finally and inevitably being caught and videoed weeping and insisting “you can’t do this to me. I’m the preznint of the Unyed Shtase!”

Then he can go to prison or die and be forgotten -- except for the hilarious videos, accompanied by the Mission Impossible theme for effect, that will, of course, be all over the internet and live on forever.

For extra fun, Sean Hannity watching the videos on the air. Does he cry or does he laugh?

The image of that is horrifying. I picture him trussed an on a giant platter, an apple in his mouth and an unpeeled pineapple....somewhere else. Apples and pineapples are both said to go well with pork.

It was reported here last week that, in 2012, Vance ordered his prosecutors to drop a promising criminal-fraud investigation against Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., who were suspected of misleading potential buyers of condos in the Trump SoHo building; the order came after their father’s attorney, Marc Kasowitz, paid Vance a visit. Soon after Vance’s office dropped the investigation, Kasowitz donated and raised a combined total of more than fifty thousand dollars for Vance’s reëlection campaign.

The Daily Mail had pics of him and Jr. and especially his assistant carrying files and boxes out of Trump Tower. Seems like interesting timing for a scurried trip to NYC.

I do think he will be indicted on multiple fronts....if they can get a jury to unanimously convict such a solid conman is another story.

Justice matters.

50. Let's imagine the prosecution addressing the jury here:
Thu Mar 11, 2021, 03:09 PM
Mar 2021
Pictures on a large screen right in front of them:

"Here are the assets estimated values that were presented to the ****** bank for a $************* loan, then...

here are the amounts representing the same assets estimated values that where reported on tax forms (**% LOWER).

Thus, the organization deliberately, systematically defrauded the IRS tax code as well as the State of New York of $**********"

Don't pass Go, don't collect $72 Million, and go directly to jail. Nobody is above the law, his own SC ruled.

until Trump will be served, jailed etc. He's saying it's a sure thing that Trump will be arrested/arraigned, and it's just a certain number of days until that happens. It could be 10 days, it could be 1000 days. I sincerely hope it's 10 days, but Trump has thrown the finger at the law since he was a child, and his family's money always made sure the law never touched him. I don't ever want to see that happening again.
