How soon until Trump Monkey Glands go on the market, I wonder? Should be just as successful as his steaks, university, wine, airline, casinos, etc. ---

Trumps having a fit because he’s being treated sooo unfairly. “Mr Trump and his allies have attempted to compare the former president’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, which has led to a litany of criminal charges, to Mr Biden’s case despite that there are substantial differences.” > **[Trump reacts in disgust on Truth Social after Biden sees no charges in...](https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-biden-truth-social-documents-b2449204.html)** > > Former president complains about ‘living in a very corrupt country’ after Biden expected to face critical report but no charges in special counsel probe into handling of classified documents ---

Someone should remind him that Biden can’t be prosecuted while he’s still President. 😉 😛 ---

Right, and no matter how logical your argument is, they will always find some excuse why what Trump did with documents is fine, while what Biden and Pence did with documents isn’t. “Well, Biden wasn’t President, just a Senator, when he took his documents, and Pence was never President. But Trump was President, so it was okay for him as President, but neither Biden as a Senator nor Pence as VP.” ---

This was posted by @eschereal in the NY AG thread, but felt it was even better here: > **[Donald Trump’s Lawyer Alina Habba and Husband Owe Over $1 Million in Liens...](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/donald-trump-lawyer-alina-habba-154809271.html)** > > Birds of a feather flock together! Turns out that Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba and her husband, Gregg Reuben, owe more than one million dollars in liens and warrants, In Touch can exclusively reveal. Habba, 39, ​currently has two active liens... > Habba, 39, ​currently has[two active liens](https://www.intouchweekly.com/tags/money-13042/) filed against her law firm in the state of Maine by the Department of Labor. She and her law firm, Sandelands Eyet LLP owe $1,146, according to paperwork reviewed by _In Touch_ and filed on December 3, 2021. Another tax lien against ​her LLP was filed on October 24, 2022, for the amount of $1,047. > > Meanwhile, Habba’s hubby, Reuben, has a staggering amount of [active state tax warrants](https://www.intouchweekly.com/tags/net-worth-24590/) in New York from Albany county that list him individually, as well as his LLCs. Reuben, 51, owes two payments of $93,628 and $179,335 that were filed on August 22, 2016, $484,323 from November ​12, 2020 and $59,295 from April 6, 2022. And several other of his LLCs were also hit with tax liens totaling more than $770,000, which he is personally liable for. Now granted, it sure seems like this is an ongoing issue since well before Trump entered their orbit, but sure looks like a very good reason for Habba to be willing to throw away any credible career outside a Republican think tank for the sort of arguments and attacks she’s made so far on Trump’s behalf. Hers are, of course, not substantial, or at least, not compared to her husband’s. ---

There’s alot less legal jeopardy (and expense) with, you know, producing documents instead of burning them; complying with subpoenas; answering truthfully; being ethical; supporting investigations into fraud and plans to overthrow the US government. But what do I know? ---
