Republicans:Ron Johnson has, 30, million dollars, also his friends has millions, but he don't want you to get, $1, 800, per month, from social security, which is yours

IMAGINE HOW STRONG OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE IF CONGRESS SPENT THEIR DAYS WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM.

I can’t be bothered to be held accountable for my bank robbery while I’m busy planning my next robbery.

Hey! Don't you remember watching it on TV? He statrted it then sat and watched it with all of us, GUILTY and you guys just want to talk about what he is going to do... He is going to go to prison.

For personal reasons, I've been in my local courthouse. I've heard a judge say that things like a job or personal obligation do not supersede a court date. Running for president is a personal decision.

[EEZYEEEE]

Trump doesn’t like it when we are draining his swamp.

Does Kevin McCarthy speak for all the American people? When he states; " That the America people are tired of Trump being indicted!" I'm sorry Mr; McCarthy but you don't speak for me! For the Record, I don't believe anyone should be above the law!! Hello?

[lunarwuffy]

Why does Trump attack those who are doing everything in their power to hold him accountable? I'm surprised you actually felt it necessary to ask that. Because he's a child and it's all he knows how to do when others try to rein in his poor behavior. I can only imagine the kinds of things he must have said to his own mother when she told him he was being sent off to military acadamy, because even she couldn't deal with him. He's never learned.

It's a choice that Trump's made to campaign, not an obligation.
Trump found over a year while he was supposed to be running our country to play golf.
If he can't make his schedule to work to be tried and convicted thats his problem, not the judges nor ours.

[osumo]

Running for President has absolutely no legal grounds to delay the case

[aOliviallove]

Why should the judge take into consideration the schedule of DT? If it were any of us would the judge set a court date of "convenience"?

[Inkedaquarian]

I’m shocked Trump hasn’t taken aim at Giuliani yet with his taunts. He’s obviously singing like a bird 🐦

[calvinburr]

Running for office is a choice....it is optional and not a requirement. Justice, prosecution of crimes, and defense against criminal charges are legal obligations and requirements. Obligations and requirements always take priority over things that are optional and not required.

[eternalskeptic]

He invited
He incited
They rioted
Then he denied it
Even though he'd implied it
Now he must be indicted.

[musoangelo]

Part of the problem here is that the legal system has bent so far over backwards to accommodate him that the notion that they can apply justice to his misconduct is difficult. Accommodating the people who want to believe an alternate story, and then telling them that ok we're going to put him in prison now, isn't going to be easy.

Remember the words, :( No one is above the law ? ) Left out were the words, (" But we may twist judicial procedure depending on the defendants social status " )

Speeding- immediate consequences
Overturning drmocracy- maybe consequences years later

[christinehoran]

If hes innocent he should testify in court to his innocence

[curiousk]

Trump may have a lot of MAGA supporters in prison.

Thrilled with indictment season so far
