If Trump ever does go to trial, gets convicted, and sent to prison, the radical right hordes will start violent riots nation wide.

Imagine BLM style protests, only a lot more heavy weapons.And?If Trump ever does go to trial, gets convicted, and sent to prison, the radical right hordes will start violent riots nation wide.
We've seen that already. They failed in their objectives. They will again. Any honest public servant should refuse to let fear of a riot guide whether or not there is rule of law in this country. If they are already prepared to commit violent atrocities, I'd rather let them do so and then arrest them, than give up on democracy altogether just to spare their feelings. We've been placating these kinds of people since the Gingrich era, and not only has it not resulted in their disappearance from politics, they don't even appreciate the leniency. No matter how many times their asses are buttered, they continuing to act as though they are America's most persecuted minority, and preaching ever more open violence against their enemies.Imagine BLM style protests, only a lot more heavy weapons.And?If Trump ever does go to trial, gets convicted, and sent to prison, the radical right hordes will start violent riots nation wide.

What are you talking about?We've seen that already. They failed in their objectives.
Oh? If the recent investigations have shown us anything, it's that Jan 6, much like "Unite the Right", was the culmination of years of planning, huge investments of money, the Proud Boys being every bit as clever as they know how to be, and so forth. I don't see any evidence that these yahoos are capable of more serious and lasting actions. But if they are, I'd still prefer that battle to more decades of appeasement.What are you talking about?We've seen that already. They failed in their objectives.
Jan6? You can't seriously think that's the best they can do.

The Orange wanted this to happen. The Orange wanted to be able to plead the fifth. The Orange wanted the investigations in Georgia and in New York. Lets remember that the DOJ didn't announce that it had searched The Orange's residence in Florida. The Orange made that announcement.Trump pleads the 5th
I think if this is his strategy of pleading the 5th - there has to be a damning amount of evidence for any kind of conviction.
Why?If they're going to make anything of this raid, they'd better do so before the election. Or, more precisely, when the next congress is seated.
Best move as quickly as possible.
I agree with Jason, the GOP would attempt to cover up the crimes of Trump if they took the House (and Senate?).If they're going to make anything of this raid, they'd better do so before the election. Or, more precisely, when the next congress is seated.

I might have put it down as if it was done by mistake if he had given up all the documents when originally asked for them. Instead, he gave them back fifteen boxes and obviously tried to hide twelve boxes. And then he lied about them.Looks like Little Orange Shitpants was violating the Espionage Act. Getting interesting.
You guys are just on a partisan witch-hunt.
They all sell top secret information about nuclear weapons to... hold on a second, ... Trump did WHAT??!
