  1. A Target Letter means a person can defend themselves in front of the Grand Jury.
    Sr. correspondent should do her homework. She has no idea what she is talking abt!

  2. The best part is watching his cult defend him and scream the indictment is made up and they don’t have any evidence- before they even know what the actual charges are.

  3. Trump contradicts himself. Like the way in this video he claims "if they want to cheat in the election (he means in the 2020 election), it's okay.." The problem with his reasoning is he's Not Proven Or even offered any evidence to back up his claim that there was any cheating in the 2020 election. Quite to the contrary, 60 Judges Threw Out Trump's claims about our 2020 election.

  4. I wish i was rich, i would take the Don down. i would destroy him. The don would not have a dime to buy a cup of coffee (but in these days maybe a cup of water)

  5. I was expecting seditious conspiracy and/or RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), but JackS has picked the simplest and most bulletproof charges that even a mouthbreathing OJ jury could understand, for the quickest trial possible–that must come from his experience prosecuting war criminals and (other) mob bosses.

  6. Man is this guy Trump sick along with the republican party

  7. Trump and smart aleck lawyers questioned the election 62 times in court, and they had no evidence. Since then, new evidence suggests plenty of election cheating … by Trump.

  8. CHUMP20TOLIFE πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

    AMERICA IS HOLDING TERRORISTS ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN

    ONLY THOSE WHO HATE AMERICA WOULD VOTE FOR CHUMP 🀑

  9. NBC is so fulla chit! Just like The Poo! I mean View.

  10. The National Records Act allowed him to have and remove classified documents, unlike Joe Biden who also had documents in Hunter’s garage. Illegally. Biden was a vice-President. Very different.

  11. I am a long-time Republican but I do not support Trump. I believe he is bad for our country and thinks himself to be above the law.

  12. β€œYeah, cause you’d be in jail. – Donald Circus Peanut Trump talking about Donald CP Trump apparently.

  13. Running for POTUS is optional showing up for trial isn't… simple

  14. β€œHow is he supposed to get all this done”???? Oh well. Anyone else would already be in jail without bond awaiting trial.

  15. Because of Trump's lies, so far hundreds of Americans have been arrested
    and yet they are still supporting Trump.
    I know Republicans are closed-minded but didn't think they are idiots.

  16. 0:34 My gawds, how this man can lie with a straight face, (well, he can't, actually. The tell-tale grin let's you know he knows he's lying). He reminds me of that drunk at a party that everyone tries to escape from and he keeps popping up, slobbering and whining. 🀨

  17. Good , TRUMP approval just shot up another 15 points πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  18. Running for president doesn't give anyone power above the law, even though Trump believes it does. Every time Trump lies, don't make it a drinking game. Drink responsibly.

  19. Lock him up now! These criminal offenses happened before he even said he was running for president! He’s just trying to avoid prison by now saying it’s political. He’s running scared as a rat in a gutter! He is the witch they are looking for.

  20. Trump doesn't know that a much more massive number of people than before now know that what he says about others is actually what he means about himself.

  21. It’s about time insurrection disqualifies him from ever holding public office .

  22. HE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH ALL THE DEATHS OF PEOPLE WHO DIED FROM COVID UNDER HIS PRESIDENCY!

  23. Trump,
    "These people are sick." A classic example of psychological projecting self on others.

  24. Time for more Depends Donny.

  25. Little man trumpπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  26. Bye Bye Trump πŸ‘‹

  27. PROUD BOYS STAND BY AND LATHER UP!

  28. Trump says "im being indicted for you. If they can do this to me, they can do this to you" while his lawyers argue in court that he should be treated special and different from how you or me would be treated.

    Republicans keep claiming the indictment is evidence of a two tier justice systen, while arguing in court to please let them have the benefits of a two tiered justice system

  29. Lock him up! (With R Kelly)
