He's spent his entire career skirting the law, and the most he's ever faced is being on the losing end of a civil suit (if that). When he's ultimately impeached, it will literally be the very first time he'll be formally accused of breaking the law. That's why he's freaked out and getting worse every minute. It would be fun to watch, but for the fact that he has the power to bring the rest of us down with him.

(11,257 posts)But it's a start, and still infinitely more accountability than he's had before. When he's acquitted, the next step is to vote him out and let the law take its course on a person no longer protected by his office.

Lock him up.
(6,929 posts)a peacock, he looks even more insane to independent voters than he tweets (if that can even be).
Don't fear and work overtime registering new Dem voters, telling em they have to vote Dem all down ballot for without a majority in the Senate, nothing will be done. Beat Moscow Mitch and all the Russiablican betrayers of their oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

(10,137 posts)Eric Schneiderman, and all the other Manhattan DAs and New York AGs that turned blind eyes towards his organizations over the years. And their counterparts in New Jersey, Florida, and wherever else he did business. If he had had to face a prosecutor 30 years ago he'd barely be a blip on the media's radar.

(5,506 posts)for not informing the general public of all of his negative traits. It was common knowledge in NY that he was a fraud, grifter, con-man & low-IQ individual. Instead, they gave him tons of FREE press.
And the Repukes, who supported him as a valid candidate. Their adoration of money knows no limits and, I believe, that will be their undoing.
We would be hard pressed to find a more unfit, despicable, awful candidate. He is truly the bottom of the barrel. How he "slid under the radar" while being a high-profile individual boggles the mind. Something definitely smells here.

(50,276 posts)He should be doing jail time and not at a Club Fed. It's infuriating how this crook has gotten away with everything and, even now, the Senate will let him walk even if it comes out he's doing a 14 year old in the Lincoln bedroom.

(33,345 posts)He will never truly be held to account. A tut-tut from Mitt Romney won't satisfy me.
Living his few remaining years shut up in Trump tower as a sub-Nixonian pariah after losing in 2002, with Melania taking half his real assets in the divorce, and exposing the actual size of his fortune, Deutschebank calling in his loans, and Twitter banning his bullshit, MIGHT begin to resemble some justice.
His Presidential Library will be a hole in the ground.
