Justice needs to Prevail for Our Country And So We Can Move Forward 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏

[richstwart]

Why is this allowed to happen when if it were an ordinary citizen would justice be swift and harsh.

[sublime]

Wow. 2 different grand juries heard the same evidence and both chose to indict. He needs to be in prison, the evidence must be damning

[dr.nanaabena]

Can we please lock this man up once and for all? We are tired of him on all grounds.

[mossheremia]

Bravo, very clever and well thought out plan. Lets hope we see a conviction.

When will the 11th Circuit Court remove Crazy Cannon from this case...leading 2 her removal from the bench?!!!! 🤔

[nikiabutler]

It so sad that you literally have to jump through all these crazy what should be illegal loop holes that a high court put in place in order to not hold the criminal

[edwardp]

Anything that gets this guy closer to a prison cell is fine by me.

NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW,
JAIL TIME NO BAIL , FOR LIFE
VOTE BLUE 🇺🇲 🗳 ☑️

[Heideberry]

Noone is above the law so prove it and make trump accountable.

[patkane]

Has the law and SCOTUS forgot about OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT?
Convicts belong in the Bighouse not the Whitehouse 🇺🇸⚖️💙😎✌️

[darlaleasure]

He's only a candidate now. Lock him up. He's no one special, just a menace to society.

[jeffshriber]

He needs to be held accountable. People died.

[DRourkey]

His case was thrown out by Aileen Canon. She needs to be disbarred and jailed for aiding and abbeding criminals under the color of law

[AlbertSA]

Now we're nitpicking over words. Just lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

[MM-xhdp]

Smart! I hope he faces consequences this time!!!

[WednesdaysDragon]

You and I would be locked up. Don't forget that.

[simonewright]

God bless Kack Smith he is pure magic🔥🔥🔥

[tishangalligan]

Waiting for the day Trump is held accountable. Its such a sliw proces.😢😮

[PuppetTheatet]
