I KNEW IT FREEPERS.....

They're going to convict him of something - anything - so he cannot run again as per the U.S. Constitution.

This is the plan and has been for a long time.

The author has forgotten the American Democratic Congress funding for 87000 armed IRS Agents. In reality they are now the National Police Force and the RNC is doing nothing about it. Ronna McDaniels, McConnell and McCarthy have never mentioned this massive funding for a new Police Force will have enormous powers over the lives of 330 million people.

They arrest Trump and the IRS agents are going to have a tough time obtaining life insurance.

The FBI is yet again trying to i-each Presiemnt Trump even after he has left officve.

You can’t investugate and charge a former presidenmt for Espionage, he already has been investigated for espionage 5 times since 2015 and BUMBLKISS was the result. This is in viloation of the Doctrine of Double Jeopardy.

Its Quadruple Jeopardy.

No Court would convict Presiden Trump for Espionage.And if it did because it is a Dem loaded Kangaroo Kourt in DC, then such a conviction would not survive an Appeal;l Process.

This is all about President Trump winning. After the rpimary rsults in Arizona, where the placid RINOs lost, the Dems know what is coming....and so the Lefty Commies have become so desperate they are waxing fuklk Trotskyite/ Stalinist.

Garland and Wray need to be impeached or they even need to get their own reciprocated assassination message they just sent President Trump. If these A$$ hats touch a hair on President Trumps head, Schumers whirlwind will look like a mere dust devil. America will erupt.

And DOJ should be investigating whether they are so corrupt they are one of the few who don’t see it.

Thanks for your reassurance but I cannot believe they have gone to these lengths to give up now.

They want a conviction in a DC Kangaroo court.

Appeals take years to go through the system unless it was made urgent and the Supreme court tosses it out...

That could actually happen come to think about it but Trump’s name will be further dragged through the mud and also no guarantees.

There is no 'justice' in the DOJ.

They forget that Trump was president, and if he had any evil intentions towards the U.S., he had access to any and all secrets of the military and economy, and could have given or sold those to the foreign adversaries. So, why would he want to work in espionage after the presidency if he could have done it all while president?

Democrats are engaged in a fishing expedition, and espionage is that what they're after.

The same Twitter that purposefully hid the negative stories about Hunter Biden and the laptop during the last election.

The Rat bastard commies are the ones that should be arrested and deported to China or Cuba or Venezuela. That’s what they’re turning our country into.

The judge who okayed this raid is now probably having sleepless nights.

They are following the Nazi template again. It was obvious this was going to happen. Hitler had his brown shirt thugs in the street doing their part to attack and to intimidate anyone opposing the party. Once Hitler had taken the official reigns of state power the SA was replaced by the lawful, state sanctioned thugs, the Gestapo. The DC totalitarians had their Antifa and BLM which were set upon the political scene to attack and intimidate any opposition. After stealing power in the selection of ‘20 there was no need for the amateur anarchists and joy looters to destabilized things. The Gestapoized FBI, CIA and DOJ were already there waiting for a regime with the will to utilize them to subjugate the American people. I fully expect the American Gestapo to go to any extreme to eliminate its enemies and to completely consolidate their power. The only positive in our future will be the coming night of the long knives for the uppity and hard to completely control Black Lies Matter.

He could have ten felonies and still run. Natural born citizen, over 35 years old, resident at least 14 years. That's it.

If they have something, let them charge him, or shut the hell up. He should force the issue because they are trying to intimidate him. Go ahead and declare and force them to shut up or throw their cards on the table if they think they have something.

Good luck proving that any president didn’t simply declassify any documents.
