    I get you don’t mind fascism but normal people do. Weaponizing the courts isn’t acceptable. No victim. No lost money. Everyone made money. The banks ever testified they’d do the deals again and hope to work with him in the future.

    Sounds like you feel like you are th victim.

      Defending dishonesty and wanting them to be president sure sounds like fascism to me. But go ahead and keep believing that Trump is an innocent man.

        Obviously you’ve never paid attention to my views of Trump. He’s not my pick. That said I don’t like corruption and the courts are acting corrupt. That is why the governor made a statement since so many companies have said they can’t risk doing business in NY

      Weaponizing the courts isn’t acceptable.

      “Lock her up! Lock her up!”

      A presidential candidate calling for that exact thing is acceptable though. Got it.

          Ah, yes.

          I love when you ignore the point to focus on something else because you know I’m right.

          Predictable as clockwork.

          Now you’ll declare victory and run away.

            You’re not right. Nobody was prosecuted. The courts were not used. It’s apples and oranges.

              Maybe read what I actually said.

              It sounds like you’re fine with presidential candidates threatening to weaponize the courts so long as they’re lying and/or incompetent?

              You’d protest if Clinton actually got prosecuted then?

                I would. The legal system should not be a weapon for political opponents. While Hillary committed a crime and should be prosecuted; it shouldn’t be done by the opposition. It comes off as banana republic style.

                  But if Trump committed a crime he should not be prosecuted?

                  What crime did Clinton commit, and who were the victims?

                    It’s debatable if any of these crimes are legit or if so at a prosecutable scale. He shouldn’t be prosecuted by democrats who don’t want him to run.

                    Clinton violated various laws around classified data. The victim is the United States government and the people of the United States. She stored classified data on a personal email server knowing it was against federal law. She also try to avoid record retention laws by sending data to a private server and deleting it without it being reviewed or stored.
