Good now go after the male version of her for the other NYC persecution. Bragg.
No one is above the law. Right James?
Playing her campaign ads before a grand jury is a very effective form of torture. Context is fungible, lady.
Hopefully she will ignore it so they can drag her to jail.
perceived adversaries? There was nothing perceived about it.
She’s just going to plead the fifth.
......”She’s just going to plead the fifth.”
And then drink a fifth. Hope she falls on her ugly face.
Finally. She was on a vendetta to convict President Trump. Past time for Alvin Bragg, Letty James & the nitwit in Georgia to pay the piper. While the congressional demoncRATS in D.C. praising them on.
Cannot wait for her to explain how she extimated Trump Tower was 250 million when like towers were 1.5-2 Billioin.
Eye for an eye, Tish.
