    Nothing to hide, right Mr. Trump?!
    Have you ever had Miranda rights read to you? They will have to make their case entirely on any evidence they produce. He has no reason to assist in their prosecution of him. That's why this exists. You people think he "incited" an insurrection by saying protest peacefully and patriotically so why would be do aid them in their prosecution of him. This will be their downfall.

    How so? Make an argument instead of a mere comment.

    That has nothing to do with defending anyone. It is a logical fallacy--whoever makes it and it appears Trump at one point used it too--to proclaim someone guilty because they take the Fifth or proclaim their innocence.

    Civil suit. Trump is admitting guilt.

    Awesome. Thanks for confessing that's exactly what Trump was doing.




    How does that make Trump innocent of his crimes and you innocent of supporting treason?

    Then why has Trump contradicted himself?
    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”?

    He only said "peaceful" once, but he said "fight like hell" or some variation of that over a dozen times.

    Then why doesn't Trump just post the warrant and inventory of assets taken by the FBI? He has both and legally, he can do it.

    Wouldn't those warrants and inventory lists clear everything up?
