this isn't even against Trump himself, it's against the organization. No different than the tax evasion charges against the Clinton Foundation.

Say Benny, what happened with that last investigation you were all so excited about a couple of months ago? Remember, a phone call of some sort was allegedly placed by one of the proud boys to the White House?

"We got him now boyo!"

Did you get him?

what a bunch of Pavlov's Dogs

just salivating on TDS

And we all remember how opposed to investigating the Clinton Foundation all you hypocrite Trumppublipaedos were.

Meanwhile, nobody is ever punished for the Clinton foundation... nor were the lodestar brothers ever charged with FARA violations...

Yet Flynn was ruthlessly attacked for a “Logan act violation,” papadaolous was charged with lying when he got the date of a meeting wrong that had no bearing on anything, trump continues to be attacked, etc...

rent free

Aren't the tax evasion charges still open against the Clinton Foundation? They were trying to stop it but a judge said it should move forward late last year

Don't matter, if anything happens Desantis already said fuk you to NY

Lol imagine still being this obsessed with the guy at this point.

Trying to deflect from the absolute chitshow Cuomo and Deblasio have turned NY into.

Nothing will ever happen to Clinton.

Also- is it a coincidence that this announcement was made the same day that the auditors in AZ say they recovered the deleted file?

Nope.

It’s just like when the NYPD was ready to make arrests in the Clinton email investigation, but the DOJ said they were going to move forward with charges in the Eric Gardner case if they did. They went as far as to swap out all of the investigators with ones that would go along with their plan.

The swamp is deep and they will leverage every asset they have to keep info hidden. Once you realize the establishment runs the show, including dens and reps, everything makes sense.

I haven't read much about the charges against former President Trump but I'm guessing it is another political prosecution being done by Democrats.

As some are writing Democrats want to keep the former President in the news, as ratings for liberal news channels have fallen dramatically since Trump is out of the news.

"Byron York's Daily Memo: When the media can't move on"

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...a-cant-move-on

WHEN THE MEDIA CAN'T MOVE ON. Republicans on Capitol Hill are alarmed, to say the least, by the agenda proposed by President Joe Biden and Democrats. That is why so many GOP lawmakers are eager to move beyond replaying the 2020 election and get down to the business of stopping Biden's plans to -- in the GOP view -- recklessly spend trillions of dollars, wreck the economy, declare open borders, worsen the racial divide, and mishandle a tense Middle East, not to mention pack the Supreme Court and make Washington DC a state.

That's one reason House Republicans ousted Representative Liz Cheney from the party leadership. She insisted that Republicans must attack former President Donald Trump and his claim that the election was rigged before they could move on to pursuing their own agenda. Trump first -- then everything else.

But Cheney and her relatively small group of allies need help in enforcing a Trump-first rule. That's where the the media come in. Just look at what happened when Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," tried to explain his constituents' concerns.

When moderator Chuck Todd asked about Trump and Cheney, Crenshaw said he supported the House Republican decision. And then he said, "I've got to tell you, this is not the subject that I'm asked about." He continued:

I get asked a lot of questions. I'm always doing events. I'm always meeting with people. I never get asked about this. I get asked about -- why is there rising inflation? Why is there a border crisis? What is going on in the Middle East? Why can't we get gas? What is happening to our energy infrastructure? Why can't I hire people? Why are they getting paid by the government to stay home instead of come to work? These are things that really affect people, not this internal drama. And one of the reasons I agreed to come on your show is basically to say that this isn't that important to people.

That was a pretty succinct summation of public concerns, especially among Republican voters. But Todd would have none of it. Here is his response to Crenshaw's statement: "Why should anybody believe a word you say if the Republican Party doesn't have credibility?" And then: "Do any of your critiques come across as credible if you can't accept the fundamental fact that our democracy held a free and fair election?"

Crenshaw patiently explained that, while he did sign on to the Texas lawsuit challenging some states' election rules that was rejected by the Supreme Court, he did not agree with the efforts of some Republicans to challenge the certification of Electoral College results in the House. "I did not vote to object," Crenshaw said. "I voted to certify."

It wasn't enough. Todd kept the interview focused on Trump, Cheney, and the election, apparently because he did not believe Crenshaw had enough credibility to discuss things like the economy and the border. And here's the kicker, which would be funny if it weren't such a depressing picture of how the media works. The Washington Post, writing about Crenshaw's appearance, said the Todd-Crenshaw exchange "offers vivid evidence of the challenge Republicans face in shifting the conversation from Trump's election lies..."

Well, why is that? Crenshaw could not shift the conversation to voter concerns, no matter how important, because the moderator of "Meet the Press" would not allow it. Liz Cheney dominated the news for days and days and days because the people who write and broadcast the news saw it as the most important thing happening in the world at that time. And by the way, so did Trump. The interests of the former president, who takes every opportunity to claim that the election was stolen, and of many in the media, who are clearly having a difficult time moving on from the Trump years, are in a state of near-perfect alignment.

As Crenshaw sees it, that leaves the voters out of the conversation. "They're issued-focused," he told me in a text exchange Monday. "Border, woke ideology, hiring problems, etc. Election integrity is certainly still a priority for GOP voters as well, but the press tries to conflate that very rational concern with 'insurrection.'"

The bottom line is, some influential voices in the media agree with Cheney that Republicans should not be able to discuss issues -- cannot be believed on issues -- until they banish Trump. It's not enough to ignore him. It's not enough to focus on what is happening now. Republicans can say it's a new world, there's a new president, there are many pressing issues that need to be debated. But for now, no matter the efforts of GOP lawmakers like Crenshaw, for some in the press, it's still Trump, Trump, Trump.

Investigate away. But we only ever hear about Drumf's investigations -- why is that?

As politicians are now choosing journalists based on skin color for questions. Makes sense, bud!

Just four more years...

Lots were gotten(him?), and just as recently as yesterday.
Not sure what you are talking about exactly........, but everyday we learn of a new person being located.

How do we expect to find fraud if we don't look for it?

LMFAO!

Americans are being attacked by a mystery weapon. And we know almost nothing about it.

We tabloid now...

The AG was expected to do something definitive this year, as I believe it is his last.

So, it would seem that going with 'no charges' was an option they turned down.

you been cooking that dish for 4 yrs.
time to take it off the stove already, toss it out and get something new.

2 more weeks bro.

good read.

"We?"

What he allegedly did, or what he allegedly didn't do with his PRIVATE BUSINESS is none of yours you mentally defective fuk. Take your meds already, you're slipping again.

They will give everyone the Michael Cohen treatment— they will investigate the hell out of everyone, find someone who may have committed an unrelated crime (tax evasion, etc.), twist their arm until they agree to a plea that includes a made up crime that somehow implicates trump in exchange for a light sentence, and then use that to either smear trumps babe or find a way to press charges.

Cohen was caught on unrelated tax evasion charges, in his plea he said that his stormy Daniels payments were a campaign finance violation (except campaign funds were even used...), muellers team never had to prove those charges in court because it was a plea, and Cohen got a light sentence. Now all of the media reports on Cohen only mention how he went to jail for campaign finance violations and trump got off... which is anything but the truth.

That’s how the doj and our country operates. When people go unpunished for illegally spying on political opponents, it just empowers those in position to do it again.

I see that’s you’re making sht up again and it’s always different when an R does it.

Waiting for congress to hold hearings on the deadly, violent, and destructive BLM rallies.

Investigate what exactly?

Because he's a phukking criminal?

Have you honestly not figured that out yet?


He's being investigated for financial fraud and/or tax evasion. In short, did he lie on financial statements and/or situationally misrepresent valuations; lower for tax purposes, higher to get more loans, etc.

I'm all for due process, so it's innocent until proven guilty....but ask yourself - does THAT sound like something Trump would have done?

This is the guy who doesn't pay federal income tax, cheats employees, cheats on all his wives, lies to the American public like it's his job. So do you THINK that prosecutors very well might have legitimate reasons to investigate him for this?


And by the way, financial fraud is the reason things like the 2008 real estate bust happened. It's obviously a big deal, yes?



So please - don't join the "Trump as Victim" crowd. Alleged crimes that meet a clear legal standard must be investigated.

Do you predict that the Trumpy patriots would assault the federal government again ?

It's not a matter for Congress, you clown.

Those would be criminal proceedings, which hopefully are (and will be) happening for everyone who deserves them, or meets the burden for being investigated.

Also - you're a phukkin moron. Self-deport or self-castrate, but definitely stop posting. You exude stupidity into the atmosphere.
