I don’t see how the system can KEEP him out of prison. Our laws on state secrets are pretty fucking tough.
The only way is to violate the law.
I don’t see that happening because who really cares? Only the people he pays (and, to be fair, they only care for the paycheck).
One of his lawyers testified he was prevented from searching Trumps office (where confidential docs were found). That’s not a good sign.
@feloneouscat @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle Except that our history says otherwise. Just before Nixon would have been forced to go to prison he resigned and everything was dropped. He went on to make money off his criminal acts through writing a book and doing tours. Rich, white, males tend to not go to prison on this country.
@cjcrew @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle
No. It WASN’T dropped. Ford pardoned him of any and all crimes.
Please do not rewrite history.
@feloneouscat @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle And what I meant was everything just dropped out of the news. Ceased to be a story, life went on as normal.
@cjcrew @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle
Because there was nothing to do. He was pardoned. And, no things didn’t go along as normal, Watergate was made into a book and a movie and many consider the sole reason Reagan got away with not going to prison.
@feloneouscat @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle And what makes you think the same won’t happen to the orange stain and all his treasonist acts? It’s what we do with rich, white, males who commit crimes against the United States. We look the other way. Granted rich, white, idiot, females are getting the same free ride provided they don’t do anything to hurt rich, white, males but if they do dare hurt or rob one they too will go to prison.
Reagan was a rich, white, male.
@cjcrew @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle
Because our laws regarding confidential government documents are numerous and onerous.
More people will be happy to see Trump go than will be upset.
Maybe I’m wrong by reading the room, but that’s what the room says.
@cjcrew @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle
The slim majority THINK he won’t go to prison. That’s not the same as whether they think he SHOULD go to prison.
Republicans would be perfectly happy to see him prosecuted. Taking him out of the equation solves a lot of problems.
@feloneouscat @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle You’ve been talking to real republicans, Trump Republicans think he’s being railroaded.
@cjcrew @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle
Trump Republicans are a small minority.
And getting smaller.
@feloneouscat @spacesloth @normsmusic @MaurasMiracle I never wanted poor, spoiled, little rich boy in our White House. It should not have been allowed. We need more than an age and citizenship as a requirement to run for the highest office in the land.
You’re not reading the room incorrectly, it is what the majority (albeit a slim majority) of the country wants. His kind of criminality should never be allowed near power.
