    Our laws are to protect the guilty as part of Blackstone's Ratio. It worked for both OJ and Hillary and now it'll work for Trump.

    Trump habitually pleads the Fifth to hide his crimes. Is there really any doubt he committed fraud?

    In early 2016 when he first began running for president, he was advised that it wasn't a good idea due to his history of shady business practices and the scrutiny that follows presidential nominees. Like General Kelley warning Trump about being impeached, Trump blew off the advice. Now he's whining about witch hunts.

    Despite his guilt, I strongly doubt Trump will ever spend a single night in jail. A billion dollars buys a lot of justice in America.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Hillary testified for 11 hours without taking the 5th once. She provided every document the Reds commission asked for without court delays and summonses. Trump and the rightys called her crooked Hillary. But Trump is covering up and using courts to delay justice. Which one of them acted as an innocent person?

    We don’t? I beg to differ, you just look at his charities, Trump University, and his taxes. Fraud is a crime.

    His body language was fun to watch. He was very angry.

    Correct. (Benghazi) But Dutch throws Hillary's name into every discussion about crime out of habit.

    The 5th did NOT work for OJ in his civil trial. Of course, he chose to open his big mouth instead of using it.

    This civil case is going to recover another $1.5 million in penalties, but it will also lay a foundation for a future criminal trial.

    On Benghazi? Yes because she had nothing to tell. She didn't know anything.

    The Republicans were fucking morons for going after her instead of Obama.

    You're free to believe all three are 100% not guilty.

    There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.

    His eyes squinted with rage. You just know he wished he was POTUS again so he could attack the lawyer the way he used to attack the press.

    He knows he's in trouble....and how much it's going to cost him to get out of it. A billion?

    Stevens had two bosses; one knew what he was doing and the other did not.

    A woman doing this to him probably increased his rage. The squinty eyes and the arms crossed high over his chest and big belly, it was all very amusing. You know he is seething the tape was released.
