So Trump is not being indicted this week

I finally realized that All journos are full of shit and the phrase "sources close to the investigation" or "our scources are telling us" is one big lie. From the ny times to the washington post to hard hitting journos with 300k followers on twitter.

They dont have any scources. They are basically con artists like psychics.

Trump is not being indicted this week.

Let me rephrase that.

Trump is never being indicted.

But it was clear from the get-go that the only person saying Trump was going to be indicted was Trump.

I don't believe shit Trump says, but a lot of people on the media and here do, apparently.

The rest was pure speculation. If that upsets you, don’t watch TV, and stay off twitter.

I have seen no reports using “sources close to the investigation” that claimed indictments were happening this week.

The only person who lied to you was Trump.

a ton of money off of it and sucked the news airwaves again. He loves all the attention no matter what for and he is convinced he can use republican congress to stop stuff.

when people quote crap from Trump himself or some random guy on Twitter, obviously it's not reliable. You can't put this one on "all journos." It was rumor mongering, nothing more. It wasn't journalism or "journos."

Why are at least three grand juries still in session? Why don't they just pack it in and go home now that you have decreed that it will never happen? Nobody but Trump said it would happen this week; when did he become a credible source?

None of the major news sources I read ever said that Trump was going to be indicted. It was only Trump himself. There were articles about NYC bracing for a possible indictment, articles about how the process might work, etc. But nothing saying that it was going to happen.

So I didn't really believe it, because if Trump says something, it's more likely to be false than true.

No one else. Did the media fall for it? They did.

Seems like a lot of people on social media fell for it too, perhaps to gain this reaction from you and some others.

Don't let them gaslight you.

If telling the truth would help his cause while lying would hurt him, he would still lie.
He can't help it, it's what he does.
