As of yesterday a Republican led investigation showed that there was illegal information given to Manafort, Trump jr, & Kushner by Russia & Putin. So it wasn't a hoax like Trump claims. I don't understand how this isn't a big deal.

I read that information as well from the Republican committee... I think the reason its passing over without much fanfare is because:

A.) Most people already know he's crooked
B.) The supporters don't believe anything they read, don't care what he does, what comes out, etc. They will support him no matter what. As Trump himself predicted, that he could murder someone in the street and it wouldn't move his supporters away from him.

Steve Bannon, former Trump campaign lead and top advisor was arrested this morning for defrauding campaign donors.

  • Michael Flynn (Trumps National Security Advisor)..... arrested.
  • Paula Manafort (Trumps campaign chairman).... arrested.
  • Roger Stone (Trump's crooked friend and advisor).... arrested.
  • Steve Bannon (Trumps Chief Strategist in White House, and Chief Executive of Trump campaign).... arrested for defrauding campaign donors.
  • Michael Cohen (Trumps personal attorney)...... arrested.
  • George Papadopoulous (Trump advisor)...... arrested.

Amazingly.... the guy who ran a fraudulent university, a fraudulent charity, and who is relatively well known to be a con-man (Donald Trump) has all these people around him getting arrested.

Weird. I guess Trump just has really bad luck. He is squeaky clean, does everything on the up and up, and these gosh darn bad characters around him keep getting arrested.

None of those "charges" would have been investigated/brought if they were democrats. It's all political and fake..

Hell, Cohen plead to a "crime" that he easily would have beaten (bc they had him on old crimes unrelated to Trump). Hes pleading bc it accomplishes what the democrats want - it attaches to Trump.

Now do trumps crimes that hes been charged with? Lol. Come on, hes a "well known con-man", list his crimes hes been charged..

y'all care to share this info that just came out yesterday and yet we should already be aware of it?

I'd love to look through it.

Meanwhile, in your disbelief, can you let us know when the investigation into Obama and spygate will take place?

How can I disprove total nonsense?

Here is what you said:

"None of those "charges" would have been investigated/brought if they were democrats."
-HoopsAustin

You honestly think I should go looking for people who have been charged with similar crimes, then trying to find out if they are registered or elected democrats?

You just throw some total nonsense up against the wall and then ask me to disprove it.

Here, let's try this....

"There is alien life on another planet, in a solar system we haven't discovered yet, and they speak Italian"

Go ahead and disprove that.

Bannon, Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea allegedly defrauded donors of the online crowdfunding campaign known as "We Build The Wall," which raised more than $25 million. The four defendants are expected to appear in court Thursday afternoon.

"As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction," acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said.

So is this fake too?

how are we to know if it is fake? It hasn't even gone to court yet.

And I think the point was that this stuff is very common and people on both sides are doing it. But for whatever reason, people on Obama's staff were privileged with the same level of investigative scrutiny
 
No point in talking to you then Bounce. You ask for articles, I give them, you say it’s nothing. People are charged with fraud, obstruction, lying under oath & you say they should investigate Obama.

Btw they investigated Obama 10 separate times over Benghazi & every report said he did nothing wrong. 7 of the investigations were republican led.

i guess you didn't read my whole statement...just the parts you wanted to.

The article listed no criminal activity and no absolute evidence. A bunch of "could bes" and "maybes"

We have a lot more than that on Obama and the wire tapping and spying scandal and you guys are speechless

A lot more what? Has he been charged like the others? Has his inner circle who reports to him been charged? If you’ve posted those articles I missed them. I’ll gladly admit that Obama or his team did or probably did illegal actions if their are credible reports like the ones I’m giving.

Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot, has banned protests on her block. You see it's okay everywhere else, but my hood.

This is a perfect example of the democrats right now. They have no problem with their citizens being attacked, beaten, property damaged, or killed. Step foot into the mayors neighborhood and she’s calling for all police to protect her and her property. This is what voting democrat gets you. They don’t care about you at all. They only care about themselves and their own wealth and power.
