Good. Anytime a criminal billionaire is arrested, good. Yes, anyone who worked with or for Trump is someone who should be thoroughly investigated, and more.

Kiss of death. Martha Stewart lied under oath and went to prison for it. It’s a bad mistake.

After age 65, (or anytime) its not a good idea to dabble in crooked practices.

Anyone who associates with Trump just goes to prison 😂😂😂

Republicans creamed their pants when they heard that Barrack was being indicted.

45 pages?! Sheesh. Glad they have their paperwork together. Hope this exposes even more corruption by that administration. 🍿

Vote Democrat or INDEPENDENT if for no other reason, to give this Administration's DOJ time to investigate any and all Corruption in our political system. Regardless of party affiliation. 45 and his Corrupt Republican party have done enough Damage to the Citizens of the United States.

With Trump, Barr and cronies, I used to sing Where have all the charges gone....Far, far away! Now with Garland can sing...Another one bites the dust...We will, we will nab you.

Where is the Money from the inaugural, in Ivanka's pocketbook (bank account) 🙆🕶️

[cortical]

A 74-year-old billionaire facing many years in prison is going to want to start singing like a canary about other people's crimes to reduce his sentence. He's just not the type to deal well with imprisonment for years until his death. Wonder who he has dirt on? LOL. 🇺🇸🤔😂🤣😲💥

Barrack is bald, damn shame. He’d be losing a lot of hair right now if he wasn’t. Have fun in jail, Mr. Barrack

A political felony is not anything to be ashamed of. Luke 21:12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to the courts and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name."
