  1. Sick and tired of hearing about how hard it is to prove criminal intent. Trump flipping confessed to taking them, they weren’t declassified. Put the damn case in front of a jury and you’ll see how easily intent is decided.

  2. Caitlin Collins to Trump during Town Hall-“Did you ever show anyone the documents?”
    Trump-“Not really.”
    Trump’s attorney Parlatore-“I Quit!!!”
    😂😂😂😂😂

    1. HE SHOULDA BEEN SMART 🧠 ENOUGH NOT TO TAKE ON TRUMP AS A CLIENT TO BEGIN WITH ESPECIALLY SEEING WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING TO LAWYERS WHO REPRESENTED TRUMP BEFORE HIM AS IF HE WUZ SPECIAL 😂😂😂

  3. Not only can’t TFG keep his mouth shut to save his life, he can’t even keep his mouth shut to save something even more important to him: large amounts of money.

  4. I’d rather wait while the DOJ builds an airtight case than have them rush to appease everyone and Chump gets off on a technicality

    1. THAT’S WHY THEY AIN’T RUSHING JUST TO PLEASE THE COURTS OF PUBLIC OPINION WHO DON’T MATTER & ALSO WHY THE SDNY-DOJ-FBI ALSO HAVE A 95% CONVICTION RATE TOO 💯💪✌️😁

    2. I’d rather arrest him now and if he gets off we can arrest him again for one of his other thousand crimes.

  5. Yeah, I’m still baffled by why Von Hairgel was so adamant that he retain these documents. It seems clear he considers them “his,” but without knowing the content of them it’s hard to suss out why he kept them. It’s unfortunate that their classified nature makes it unlikely we’ll find out what’s in them that makes him so interested in them in a reasonable amount of time, and why other documents weren’t so important to him. Not to mention the unknown matter of if he shared them with other interests, or planned to. It’s also not impossible that the documents themselves could implicate him in crimes _as President._ If the latter is true, why didn’t he simply destroy them? I think this whole fiasco shows just how unstable and not genius he really is.

    1. THAT’S HOW TRUMP PLANNED ON PAYIN’ THEM AFTER HE SOLD A FEW 📄 DOCUMENTS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER 😂😂😂

  6. I think the judge should go ahead and order him to pay her the money in the case since there’s a new amendment..

  7. does ANYONE do their damned jobs anymore! This criminal should have been prosecuted YEARS AGO

    1. THEY HAVE UP TO 5 YEARS TO DO THEIR DAMN JOBS SO COME BACK LATER OKIE DOKIE 😂😂😂

    2. The DA never files charges unless they know they can win. Until then they dot T’s and I’s.

  8. I wonder whether Ms. Carroll can convince them to garnish Trump’s income from contributions… Perhaps not, but that might convince him to stop.

  9. How much more evidence of a crime he has admitted to committing is needed? For God’s sake indict him already! ❤ GOD Bless Everyone

  10. Trump’s defense: When I researched ‘How to murder someone and dissolve the body in acid’ I was just curious how someone else would do it.

  11. I remember telling my Trumpy boss way back during Trumps victory that Trump would most definitely enrich himself. My Meathead rich white Boss got angry with me …He was rich back then.. he’s not now. Schadenfreude to both of them.

  12. Simply for my education, is the confidence of the confession by Roman Catholic and Anglican/Episcopalian priests recognised by judges in the US? And what of physician-patient confidences?

  13. I have reconsidered my first impression of the CNN Trump Town hall, Kaitlin Collins and the Trump friendly audience played to Trump’s ego and got him to spew some incriminating statements. ❤ GOD Bless Everyone
