  1. I’m hoping justice is done and Trump spends the rest of his wretched life in prison!

  2. donny on way to dungeon not before time CORRUPTION NEEDS JUSTICE NO MATTER WHAT SORT OF CRIMINAL YOU ARE

  3. Let me guess…. “It was a perfect recording” 😂😂😂😂

  4. Get it right: "Donald Trump is PRESUMED innocent until proven guilty"; that's a legal fiction, like the husband of a pregnant woman is presumed to be the father of her child.

    Right wingers hear that abbreviated version and they think the people using it are acknowledging that their poor, pure leader is the victim of a "witch hunt."

  5. Good luck defending Trump.

  6. America will be gone if they are waiting for Joe to end his term to be equally indicted.
    This indictment is just a phase in the most secretive plan in US history. WW3 without Uniforms is the most dangerous one as it will reshape all the West.

  7. He's not going to serve no time look at the judge they appointed

  8. So Joe putting National Security at risk does not matter?

    Trump will not go to jail. He will be allowed to run in 2024 if I base myself on some blunt dreams and others more encrypted. My dreams in Sleep never lied, never will. One suggested that he will be opposed, again to a totally unexpected female candidate and she will win. Not Hillary or Michelle, definitely. I know who but my lips fingers are sealed.

    What I am sure about 100% is that the
    US Flag, the living one that breathes through The People is the Flag that will defeat Donald.

  9. I think once this is over we need a clear list of reasoning why this took so long.

    What were the things we were waiting on that finally came about to make it clear an indictment was needed?

    What facts in this case werent established clear cut until just a month ago?

  10. What about Biden will he get the same kind of justice for having confidential material at his house?

  11. American civil war 2 please.

  12. do you honestly believe Trump will be punished for his crap I won't trust USA if they let him go free

  13. Too bad dems cant play fair

  14. Trump was gotten by your cartels. They drive your country.

  15. ANYONE STILL ON THE TRUMP TRAIN NEEDS A MENTAL EXAM.

  16. And jo blo is innocent.
    😅😂

  17. Trump: I AM INNOCENT
    DOJ: Until proven guilty, you are innocent.

  18. 5:45 You're suggesting that Donald Trump commit suicide to escape justice? What kind of 'news' organization is this?

  19. Liar and cheat caught red handed, throw the book at him. The GOP need to face the truth about their leader.

  20. totally agree with you…..the facts are all there, but many Trumpists cant comprehend these facts.
    .
    now regarding dojgarland……i dont trust him and his teacher and colleagues will agree that they dont understand why he has been slow walking these cases. And now, judgecannon will hear the case in florida. And most interesting, why didnt dojgarland attend the press conference !! he loves those high profile press conferences…..most telling.
    .
    the facts of the crime are clear, but i hope we can get a jury to convict in florida!

  21. Those who instigated this witch hunt must be held accountable.
    NOTHING WAS DONE TO HILLARY CLINTON. BILL CLINTONS MORAL CHARACTER WAS TOTALLY IGNORED Yet President Trump is having the full weight of the politically oriented federal government come against him!
    It is NOT LAW EQUALLY APPLIED!!!
    We will not forget.

  22. The Femo craps are trying to do everything they can to keep Trump from running again! Smacks of desperation from sleepy Joe and company! The president had the same stuff in his garage

  23. is it challenging? Are you sure its challenging? It's challenging isnt it? Yeah….definitely challenging, very challenging—as you say

  24. That Mara Lardo mouth is going to take him down. Once again another asterisk
    by his name. CLANG, CLANG (cell doors closing).
    🍊💣🍊💣🍊💣🍊💣🥊🤡

  25. Many of the evidence gathered are supplied either by the orange one himself( his own loud mouth), or by those working closely with him ( including recordings ). There are multiple evidence beyond reasonable doubt. This case will probably take a very short time to reach its conclusion. An Orange Jail.

  26. why are secret documents kept in cardboard boxes?

  27. Anything to keep the attention away from the biden's

  28. Trump supporters are still on his side too lol. Tells you all you need to know about the Trump base

  29. joe biden and his neocons are turning US into a bannana republic with this charges against trump,why wasnt hillary clinton or joe biden arrested for the same crimes,i mean Trump is the only guy who can stop biden and his neocons of starting ww3 with russia

  30. how much u want to bet he moves country?

  31. I’ve heard Edward Snowden is looking for a roommate

  32. I wonder if he shared the documents with Jared kushner

  33. Trump went through boxes to find that Iran doc. He did it himself. He knew what he was doing.

  34. Trump was acting. He was playing a role on the upcoming Presidential Apprentice and the recordings were just part of the exit interview script.

    He was rehearsing the role of a former president who had been voted out of the office and fired but managed to steal papers implicating other actors on his last day. He is just such a good actor that everyone thinks it's really him and that he actually had classified documents. What he had was the script and he was flipping through the pages of the script.

    — or so his lawyers would say.

  35. The hypocrisy and stupidity of conservatives never ceases to amaze.
