    Nothing to hide, right Mr. Trump?!
    It was established a long time ago that trump simply cannot tell the truth.

    Agreed. Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants for so long that he's actually and deeply surprised that people would disagree with him.

    Like the Declaration of Independence's "unalienable rights" a lot of our freedoms are implied.

You and I both know it limits the powers of the Federal government and the States.
    Some of our constitutional rights prohibit the government from infringing on those rights. Others, however, require the government to act positively to provide those rights--trial by jury, speedy trial, right to counsel (providing attorney), subpoena witnesses, grand jury indictment...

    The right to not testify against oneself is prevalent in just about every democracy.

    Trump is a piece of shit, as are all of his admirers, supporters, and followers, but invoking the 5th Amendment is not one of the very many things for which he deserves condemnation,
    I agree with most of that.

    But that fact that Trump himself condemned people for taking the Fifth?
    At the very least?
    Makes him a huge hypocrite on this.

    GREAT POST.

    I forgot about this.

    It does not make him guilty.

    But it does make him a MASSIVE hypocrite.

    Agreed on massive hypocrite.

    Also agreed it doesn't make him "guilty" since that will have to take place in a court of law. Notice how many Trumpian cocksuckers are defending his treason.

    It’s more about pointing out the hypocrisy than criticizing the action. He is free to plead the fifth. His guilt is obvious sans this evidence. It’s just pretty damn funny that trump can swallow his entire foot.

    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    A furious Donald Trump again complained Friday of being unfairly picked on by the Democrats, and said that the uproar over the classified documents he spirited away to Mar-a-Lago was nothing more than an “ordinary” and “routine” presidential records process.

    Right about the hypocrisy, of course. I did concur that he's an asshole.
