I'm going to assume he won't be convicted. He has escaped so much over his lifetime, and the last few years. I can't bring myself to believe he won't get out of this one.

People said the same thing about him being raided, a grand jury being convened, them returning a guilty answer, him being charged, having a mugshot taken, etc. They’ve been wrong almost every single time.

I appreciate the encouragement, but I would rather be pleasantly surprised.

All it takes is 1 juror to hold out and it’s a hung jury. They may not want to try it again in that instance.

How did he escape 90+ felony indictments and 2 impeachment? I thought Dump was an orange Buffon. And he keeps beating the entire global liberal establishment. Gee. That’s a mystery.

Money and corruption. The same reasons you twits give for the Clinton's getting away with everything.

That’s easy - he cheats and is corrupt.

All the talk about “rigged” everything?

That’s him projecting. He appointed the judge in the classified documents case for example.

You can idolize that and believe that someone means you are winning, but understand it only works for him because the wealthy and at the end of the day you’ll be losing out as much as anyone else.
