👉 The grown-ups need to put this MAN-CHILD out of OUR misery. TRY, CONVICT, IMPRISON - - NOW !!! 😜😖😠

[fuzzybuzzwords]

It is high time that the adults took charge and explained to the children that DonaId cannot play anymore because he has to go away for 10 to 12 years.

[JusticeFALL-USA]

Love to hear the Bells of Justice ⚖️⚖️⚖️ ringing loudly for Former Guy, NO PERSON IS ABOVE THE 🇺🇲LAWS.

[PellyjellyMom]

Only in the USA do we let appointed Judges decide what happens to the criminal who appoints them. Very occasionally a judge will hold Trump or his political supporters to the same laws as the rest of us. Same as Supreme Court. Should be term limits and appointed by perhaps the American Bar Association instead of extending the problem with making it a Political Appointment. They are proving to be crooked, too.

He had them fired out of spite. Petty little man baby had his ego bruised by them.

[Blakblooded]

trump: "I got him fired. It was because of me Me ME." Yet again, trump has the right, but not the ability, to remain silent.

[boorockomamba]

Trump is a lot more trouble than he is worth. Just get him into a cell already, so the world can move on.

2:35 "whether the role that he claims to have played publicly matches up with what he says when he's under oath" -- It never ceases to be fascinating, the circumlocutions the media will go through to avoid using any form of the word "LIE".

[d.f.]

Trump should just move into the courthouse. They usually have rooms in the basement. They're also very safe.

[cindyschneider]

Arather bitter irony that the world's worst employee was able to bring so much grief and trouble to dedicated public servants just doing their jobs honorabley, something he is utterly incapable of.

[becky]

Too busy playing golf and showing off his secret documents.

[philgroves]

I will make a prediction: Donald Trump will plead the fifth for pretty much every single question.

[dannmarceau]

"I'm too busy filing frivolous lawsuits, your Honor." -- Trump

[Gracebktq]

Funny how the guy who started the chant "Lock her up!" is gonna be "locked up" 🤣🤣🤣
Trump, better practice what you preach 😂

[ejwright]

You mean since ALL TRUMP DOES is fake tweet and lie all day? 😂

[JJArsenault-ysyy]

All these investigations, lawsuits and charges involving washington institutions and politicians are mind boggling…lawyers are cashing in$$$$

[ibus]

Don't know what they will get out of him. He'll just plead the 5th again and again and again.

[holgerlubotzki]

Here comes that ol' fifth amendment tango again!

[kerryrobinson]

"The 5th, 5th, 5th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th ..." Lardo will just make them up. UNHINGED AND UNFIT, AMERICA! 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬🖤

[TraderRobin]

Remember Republicans, VOTING is the most WOKE thing you can do!
