We are tired of Trump not being held accountable yet and he should be prosecuted for every crime just like every other person.

[regular-joe]

The pursuit of justice and the prosecution of criminals shouldn't depend on the attention span of the public. Wth. It's not a spectator sport.

[jeffkovach]

Time to put EVIL and Corruption in Jail. Please do the loving justice for all man kind!

[jerrypolverino]

We are not the slightest bit exhausted. We are sick of waiting for action.

[johnnystewart]

I'm so sick of hearing about donald trump 🙄 😒 😑 😤

[sharondavid-melly]

We're not exhausted we're waiting patiently for Trump to be made accountable for his crimes against the American people, which are many.

[myralhf]

He needs to be prosecuted period!! Just do it...! He shouldn't be able to do business in NY. He shouldn't be able to run for political office. He should be enprisoned for a long time with a hefty fee for soooo many reason, we all know...

[johnrindy]

I'm not tired of hearing about trump's crimes. I will live hopefully long enough to see him in prison. Charge him. I wish hear about his convictions.

Something tells me though if he is charged eventually he will tell all on everyone who he has dirt on. Sad but better than Netflix.

[amsterdammancom]

Mafia members with many murders on their hands go to jail for not paying taxes...
Committing multiple crimes is an odd defense for all of the crimes committed.
So much for the Rule of Law.

[tonymcdonald]

Shame on America for letting Trump get away knowing if we did it we'd be in federal prison

[adriancozad]

If he is allowed to walk, then the public dont have to listen to the🤡 laws and courts also.We can be privileged too..Equality.

[JamesSmith-rhis]

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that life in America is actually exponentially better for the American people right now without Trump in the White House as president anymore.

[DennisWilkinson]

I have actually started teaching my grandkids, and they in turn are telling their friends (I love it), that here in the United States Of America 'No one is above the law' and 'equal justice for all' are 2 of the lies of many that we were force fed to us our entire lives. You will be punished for smaller crimes, while someone well known committing numerous felony crimes will go unpunished.

[robertnahum]

It wouldn't be difficult if your "laws" weren't corrupt to begin with. Your "laws" were implemented by criminals for criminals...they have had and still have the influence and money to get away with lawlessness.

[tjroberts]

Rich people don't go to prison only the poor.

[ashelinrose]

I don't care how you have to get him, just get him. Who cares if it was a few years ago, a crime is a crime, and he should be held accountable for his part in it.

[kevinpolito]

Trump's arrogance is unbridled, whereas the prosecution is meek and cowardly.

[allosaurusfragilis]

We've been hearing this for years. Let's face it, he's not being held accountable for anything...

[GIULIANIS_MEAT]

Donald Trump—who boasted over the weekend that his success in life was a result of "being, like, really smart"—communicates at the lowest grade level of the last 15 presidents, according to a new analysis of the speech patterns of presidents going back to Herbert Hoover.

[gailhasler]

The younger generation will remember how slow justice moved against Trump and his family, but they will also remember that Justice prevailed, when it does. 😎
