A policeman came up to me with tear gas in his hands, he said to me ‘Sir, Mr President Sir, please put down the broken table leg, no one needs to get hurt’. ---

Anybody know when the indictment will be unsealed? I would think at the arraignment – they have to tell Trump what he’s being charged with, so we’ll find out as well. Right? @Aspenglow ? ---

So you’re saying that Trump and Clinton should both be indicted, then? ---

Please provide cites for these claims, but maybe in a different thread? I would be interested in seeing your cites for hush money and other crimes by Biden and Clinton, laid out logically, in their own thread. Thanks! ---

If they committed crimes, I’m in favor of them being prosecuted. The Republicans have congress - let’s see if they can put up. I bet they can’t produce a single shred of evidence, but we’ll see. ---

So are you saying that neither Trump or Clinton did anything wrong, or that both of them did something wrong? ---

In America we have rule of law - if someone broke the law, even if they’re a former president, they should be prosecuted. Your cite-free feelings about bias and persecution are irrelevant to the rule of law. ---

I’m all for it, if they broke the law. ---

An out of court settlement isn’t hush money. And, that’s the last time I respond to your hijack. Anyway, back to Trump – how many people in his inner circle were convicted or pleaded guilty? Is it a record for any administration? ---

So what you’re telling us is that Trump did nothing wrong, and Clinton and Biden did the exact same thing, and they should go to jail for it. Is that right? ---

So you don’t object to Trump being punished for his crimes, then. Glad we’ve got that sorted. ---

I believe that Biden and Clinton should face the rule of law if they’ve committed any crimes. Do you believe Trump et al should face the rule of law if they’ve committed any crimes? ---

Great. We’re in unison. Now, let the rule of law proceed against Trump. ---
