Well. I guess now we know why he didn't get charged in the other investigation this week.
No, the other other investigation. (It's getting hard to keep track.)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm not celebrating until he actually has repercussions.
What can I say? I'm a lush. 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, this is the millionth article with the same sort of headline these last 7 years, and we have yet to see just the slightest hint of any actual repercussions for his life of crime.
Is it though? Has anything actually happened?
He'll die of old age before anything comes out of this.
Dumb comment is dumb
Ribbit
Because he's wealthy. It's that simple. When a rapist can get let off on 'affluenza,' the rich can get away with anything in the U.S.
It's interesting that the Right wing News purposeful misreporting what happens with Clinton is coming back to bite republicans.
Trump clearly thought that ignoring subpoenas and deleting evidence was fine because he was lied to that is what Clinton did.
Except that Clinton didn't ignore subpoenas. She went down and testified under oath for 11 hours.
Yes, but right wing media has lied that she did ignore subpoenas.
Instead it was an IT worker who Clinton had told "Don't delete these emails"
And republicans were in such a rush to charge Clinton that they granted immunity to the person who actually deleted the emails.
None of this has been truthfully reported by Fox News.
Here's Trumps understanding:
"Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 emails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable."
Hell, the software IT used to delete the hard drive was called BleachBit. But right wing news has gotten that so wrong that republicans think she used literal acid lol.
Couldn't even get their chemistry right
As if the others weren't, this one is really cut and fucking dry lol. Trump is a menace. The justice system should be designed specifically for people like this.. but alas.
Saw a lawyer's conservative estimate of Trump's time in jail if he were convicted of everything at the time and it was something like 25 years I think, I wonder what that's up to now?
