Rudy, Eastman, Powell, Clark, Chesebro are the lawyers. People think the WH official is probably Epshteyn. Or maybe Jason Miller or Navarro, but it's propbably Boris.

It would be great if Bannon and Roger Stone could rot for the rest of their lives in a prison cell, but somehow they'll slip through the cracks like the slime that they are.

What does this even mean?

Is this some new conspiracy that I don't know about?

Yoyo once said that after the Republicans took the house that "the adults" were now in charge. The A/V club is supposed to be an insult to liberals.

I wonder how Trump squirms out of that.

I mean, true.

But I've been waiting since 2016 for him to actually suffer some sort of consequence to his endless crimes. I fell into the trap of believing the media when they said he would be in big trouble...7 years ago...

Thus far, each indictment just sets off a flurry of fundraising that makes him richer.

Losing all three houses wasn't due to criminal charges.

So, I'll believe it when I see it. Would love to be proven wrong!

Near as I can figure, everyone in the Trump circle knew the election results were facts. But they went along with the BS because that's what the boss wanted. And he's entitled to spew lies because, free speech or something.

There is no doubt that Trump has always known he lost the ejection but it’s a great grifting opportunity. Within hours of the latest indictment his “marketing” material was out.

Former President Donald J. Trump now faces 78 felony counts in three different criminal cases, not to mention a slew of civil lawsuits and trials alleging all sorts of wrongdoing. At least in the court of public opinion, though, his defense can be boiled down to three words.

What about Hunter?

From Mr. Trump’s team to conservative media to the Republican Party leadership, the reaction to the latest blockbuster indictment accusing the former president of nothing short of trying to subvert democracy focused not on the evidence against him so much as the foibles and scandals of President Biden’s son.

The real outrage, Mr. Trump’s defenders maintained, is Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings. The Justice Department, they claimed, is only going after the former president to cover up for the current president. Mr. Trump is a victim persecuted by his enemies, so the argument goes, while Hunter Biden is a one-man crime wave who personifies the Washington swamp.

The wave of whataboutism from Trump world crested with this week’s indictment but has been building for months, a way of shifting attention from the former president’s kaleidoscopic legal troubles. The strategy provides the former president’s hard-core base a narrative to embrace that absolves him of any misconduct while muddying the waters enough to cause at least some independents and swing voters to throw up their hands out of a sense that, well, they all do it.

Never mind that Hunter Biden was not and is not seeking to be the president of the United States and that no hard evidence has emerged indicating that his father used his office improperly. Never mind that Mr. Trump’s family has intertwined personal business and public life for years. Or that the worst accusations against Hunter Biden, even if true, are hardly comparable to a plot by a sitting president to overturn an election and hold onto power.

I'm going to make the case for Yoyo here and clearly show this is about whataboutism. Trump is being "unfairly attacked" and you'll see why.

Hunter Biden and his company (Owasaco P.C.) made $5.8M between 2013 and 2018 from Chinese interests (through Owasco P.C.) and around $5M from Ukraine during that same time. The majority of the Chinese money came in during 2017 when Hunter was working with Hudson West III, a venture funded by the Chinese oil and natural gas company CEFC and its chairman, Ye Jianming, to make a deal for Monkey Island in Louisiana, a deal that ultimately fell apart during due diligence.

These are the only facts that matter. Hunter Biden made $11M over a six year period acting as an attorney and board member of foreign interest by trading on his family name. $11M or about $1.83M a year! The majority of which while his father was NOT in office. These are high crimes and misdemeanors!

It is outrageous that Donald Trump should be indicted time after time for such trivialities as

Not to mention that Ivanka Trump, while working in her father's White House secured 7 trademarks from the Chinese in the same month that Donald Trump reversed course on policy and backed off a hardline stance on sanctions against China. Over the span of two months in 2018 the Trump family would receive 18 trademaks from the Chinese government. Ivanka would later get three trademarks fast tracked in Japan after meeting the Japanese Prime Minister and then three more in Canada after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, all while working as a member of her father's White House staff. The vast majority of Trump earning potential is from his family brand and protected through these trademarks meaning the value of them is in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

I don't think we need to go back and revisit how Jared Kushner, six months out of working in the White House and making the Jamal Khashoggi issue blow over in quick fashion, saw a quick infusion of $2B from the Saudi crown prince. Two BILLION dollars. Hunter Biden would have had to continue his grift for 1,112 years to equal the money Kushner got from the Saudis.

So yes, Donald Trump is being unfairly attacked by the feds and the media. If it were really fair they would have already drawn and quartered him and sent the entrails to the corners of the globe where his family profiteered while they were in office.

If I didn't believe Yoho was beyond help I'd tell him to spend some time reading the indictments instead of Twitter X. The facts are pretty overwhelming.
