Wow, this sounds like truly nothing, but I’m sure the mainstream media will love any excuse to blare “TRUMP” and “CRIMINAL” in the same headline.
Non stop yawning over here!
They used to control the courtroom of public opinion before the internet. They are learning the hard way that they no longer control that one, and they don’t have what it takes to prevail in a real courtroom.
So here we are.
Anyone wonder why I hate dimoKKKRATS this is the reason. They all are on a witch hunt.
A ham sandwich could face charges from Manhattan DA.

So the accusation is....

A home town jury is almost always good.
</s> The long knives will now begin carving up his Business and family, in state court where he has no pardon power. Now just how is Sessions secret plan going to work again?

A home town jury is almost always good.
Clinton beat Trump in Manhattan by 76 points in 2016.
The Clinton Foundation....at some point....filed 4 or 5 years of corrections for their taxes.
Limbaugh opened his program today wringing his hands over this.
So negative these days—I’m looking for something else to occupy my time between noon and 3:00 PM.
