Trump telling Pence you're too honest speaks volumes...., .

[liberationstory]

Someone capable of thoughtless malice for personal gain should be in a jailhouse, not the White House

[mmusya]

Everyone should remember THAT THE SUPREME COURT KNEW THIS SHIT BEFORE GIVING HIM IMMUNITY!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[OvertheGarage-wvwn]

I can see why Trump fought so desperately to keep this from being published.

[metoyou]

This is so shameful and disgusting that such a person can be allowed to run for president. My fellow Americans, let’s reject trump. He must be held accountable for ALL his crimes! Vote blue up and down the ballot! 💙🇺🇸💙

[richards]

To those who think these charges are spurious remember that his defense wasn't "I'm innocent" it was "I have Immunity."

[audiwankenobi]

And so what....the fact that January 6th happened and that dude is even still able to run for president is horrible for America.

SIX SUPREME COURT JUSTICES SOLD THEIR SOULS TO FELON DON.

[ps_nyisgone]

They released the video of what happened that day awhile ago. I know it was not reported on but many did see the REAL truth of that day on those tapes.

[retrogal]

IMAGINE, just imagine if Obama, Biden, or Kamala Harris said any of these things ("make them riot" "who cares") AFTER they lost an election. Everyone, especially Republicans, would lose their shit as they should if that happened. But Trump says it, and all his supporters won't care and will just type out laugh emojis AND they'll still believe that he's the victim always. 🤦

Has anyone noticed that during Trump’s rallies he has ads for ‘as seen on tv’ items to buy from him while he’s speaking. He’s turned the US election for President into an infomercial. It’s a joke that anyone would ever vote for him.

[alexespinoza]

And now what we already knew gets unfolded IN COURT!!
Come on America, wake up!!! This criminal should not be walking around as a free man, let alone a presidential candidate.

[CroneWisdomSpacemonkey-bgfm]

So it's ok with Maga if Biden does the same?

[blitzroehre]

Big shoutout to Judge Michael Luttig, a retired Republican Judge and true patriot. Pence phoned him for legal advice and Judge Luttig told him straight that this plan by Trump and his co-conspiraters was highly illegal and unconstitutional..

[michaeleverest]

So after Vance saying to the public last night during the debate that Trump did nothing except ask about the validity of election results... we find out he was lying.

[RobBanks]

I was shocked on Jan 7 that Trump wasn't offered a blindfold and a cigarette. There has never been a worse traitor in US history.

[samuelarvizu]

This evidence is the reason Donald Trump would not look Jack Smith in the eye.

[Alberta-sledder]

Why isn't this guy not arrested? WTF America, the justice is pathetic No one wants to lock this criminal up, ive had enough of this doubke standard DO SOMETHING FORVTHE LOVE OF GOD AMERICA THIS MAN MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE BALLOT the risk is far to high to allow this man back in power.

[Annejo]

Jack Smith always has the “Proof of what he speaks of”.

Does chronic dishonesty cause premature aging? Scott Jennings is only 46, but obviously looks 60+.
