This is the government New Yorkers have voted for themselves.

Many of us didn’t.

And even many of the idiots who did vote for Dems and RINOs didn’t vote for lawlessness.

Exactly right. Today's socialists use mafia tactics. They are pure evil, just like all their predecessors.

There is ZERO evidence of ANY wrongdoing that would justify an investigation. Yet these f’ing commie thugs are allowed to take a fine tooth comb to the finances of this man and his children on the off chance there might be something inappropriate there. This is a complete sham of the judicial system. These prosecutors are lawless tyrants.

I commented about this same idea in 2016 when Trump was running for Prez.

The new york times (not capitalized for a reason) sent out 20 people to dig up anything they could find that would discredit Donald Trump or damage his reputation.

I paid attention to what they DID NOT find.

Not one story about a crooked business deal or tax evasion. Zilch.

Not one story featuring a disgruntled present or former employee with a horror story about what a maniacal tyrant Mr Trump was as a boss. Nothing.

Those were the two things they wanted most, what could damage his reputation more? They tried the sexual assault accusations, those went nowhere, the usual political nonsense didn’t even make John Q Public raise an eyebrow. Nothing left a mark.

And with 20 people digging, the nyt never found any crooked business deals. Do they really think they’ll find more than 20 reporters digging into his past for a year did?

I seriously doubt it. Donald Trump is one of those very rare birds who realizes you can still make lots of money without turning into a crook.

He’s always been one to stand up for the little guy too. In a military academy as a teenager, he wouldn’t let the rest pick on the smallest guy in their outfit. He said years later in an interview, “they found out when Donald Trump said leave me alone, he meant it.”

He didn’t just decide to fight for the average guy the day he decided to run for president. That’s a lifelong thing with him.

These people are just so consumed with fear and hate they are determined to find - or manufacture - anything they can to bring him down. They will go after his associates and their families without a second thought, as we found out with General Flynn.

This is why I was one of the first Trump supporters on FR, never wavered, and still am. I knew before he announced he was running that he was all in for the little guy, the one thing he probably likes best is a good fight, and don’t ever make the mistake of telling him “you can’t do that”...Look up the video of thd episode of celebrity planes that is about his 757. What his employees think is evident in his pilot and personal secretary.

His pilot had been with him 17 years I think, secretary 20. If he is such a horrible person, why would either stay as long as even 2 years? One year as Trump’s pilot or secretary and you can write your own ticket.

No reason to stick around for a horrible boss. If you can get a job at that level, you have to be very good to begin with. To last beyond the standard 90 day trial period, you have to be able to do a good job. The entire business world knows Trump does not tolerate incompetence. If you can stay past 90 days, you’re good. Very good.

So why would anyone stay on the job at that level for 20 years...if he is the racist, bigot, white supremacist women hating tyrant the media and democrats - but I repeat myself - make him out to be?

They are going after the side players because the main actor turned out to be clean. They could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by just checking into what the nyt found. Zilch.

This is oppressive. Out of control prosecution of innocent businessmen and citizens, deemed opposition, seems to be their modus operandi.

So, what do we do? This is not acceptable. These are fellow Americans.
