Lol I love how republicans claim everything is “politically driven” when they’re caught breaking the law 😂
And the Left say they are not racist, then act racist.
yeah because the mentally depend in this country believe it.
Oh you mean like Biden ‘I won’t tolerate harassment under my presidency’ but seems okay with accepting harassment in VP Harris office and staff it seems? Those sort of laws?
@Andy R Sorry but racism isn’t bound by party lines. Both groups have them, it’s just that the right is way more bold with showing they are.
@Alexander Adams Yup the mental, we got ya 😂
They are. Your client and his company have been cheating the American taxpayer for decades. We haven’t even got to the sedition and treason part of the show yet.
Treason is the real reason: Trump needs to be jailed and sent to GETMO
Don’t worry, Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey are working on that.
Sell their body parts if needed, the People demand our money Now.
He’s paid to say whatever he thinks helps his clients look better.
Highly paid.
@Darrell Rees, nothing.
@Steve P nothing will make Trump look better, and yes, he was an inappropriate PRESIDENT!
Pro bono as far as Trump is concerned. I see these attorneys bailing on him one after the other.
Here is an attorney that will risk his reputation, law licence, and jail time for his client, individual one.
As I always say, Trump has more projection than an IMAX cinema.
An IMAX cinema has more variation though, Trump always spouts the same BS.
but does trump sell popcorn ?
Republicans good judges of what is and what is not politically motivated, because pretty much everything they do is politically motivated.
notice that this “lawyer’s” defense is “other big corporations commit crimes, so we should be allowed to commit crimes, too.” Because that’s pretty much what he just said.
“Politically Driven” Irrelevant. Did he dodge his taxes?
Even if the right labels the investigation into Trump’s criminal organization a “witch hunt”, the prosecutors are quite literally finding “witches”…
🏆🎯🏆
People before him didn’t or don’t or ow taxes. It is a political thing. Al Sharpton dodges and owes money in NY still.. way before the Orange man fear
@Reported Alotforfreespeech 1) “I broke the law but he did, too” isn’t an excuse to not be prosecuted and 2) this is provable, demonstrative, and obvious fraud. This isn’t just owing taxes or not paying taxes, this is obvious manipulation to avoid taxes. Your comment is pathetic.
Politically driven. Lol. If he broke the law, he broke the law.
Lock him up! Your every day citizen would have been in jail months ago
I can hear fans shout: Lock him up, lock them up……
Bottom line: Did the trump organization commit tax evasion/fraud? YES!
I would say no if the attorney is like lying it means they reported all this and the IRS and the state franchise tax board of New York did not flag it
Set a precedent criminal.
But its ok, all the real people are doing it. Remember people who pay taxes, like people who fight our wars, are all just chumps to them.
@Gary McClellan , If no one committed any crime(s), then they have nothing to worry about, correct? I highly doubt that anyone will be framed.
@Gary McClellan Put it this way, peabrain, if you or I did what Trump and his criminal organization did, we’d be in prison… Full stop ✋
Setting a precedence? Does he mean like how the former, twice impeached President set a precedence that its ok to hate and bully people? OR lie all the time because you can and get away with it. Lock Trump Up!
In 240 years, we’ve never HAD such a crooked president. So, there’s that.
@Michael Osterman Probably.
@Charles Hanks Trump makes Watergate look like an overdue library book. He literally tried to burn down democracy.
Still at it, actually.
In 240 years Trump has never paid his legal team – so there’s that
Michael Witted….troll with a 2 week old account. Don’t bother replying to him.
@Charles Hanks Nixon was a president who became a crook. Trump was a crook that became a president.
trump incited an armed insurrection on january 6 2021 to overthrow a FREE & FAIR election
Armed . Actually the records show no weapons were found. What were they armed with.
@zooallow 1025 Flag poles CAN be used as a weapon, sherlock. FYI weapons were found stashed not far from the Capitol building.
@zooallow 1025 bear spray mace, flagpole, retractable batons & don’t forget their arrogance & stupidity!
@Michael Whitted flag poles. So in outer words. You agree there were no weapons. Did 🥔 just say last week. If you watch to overthrow tge government uou need f15.
@zooallow 1025 if u whannnt too comennt in ewe tube…inglesh heps
If you wanna upset a democrat, lie to him.
If you wanna upset a Republican just tell him the truth. 😉
Good point. Almost as sharp as the one on the top of Trump’s head.
IF THEY CROSS THE LINE AND GO AFTER A PRESIDENT, THAT CERTAINLY MEANS HE DID SOMETHING WRONG. BIGLY WRONG AS TRUMP WOULD CALL IT. THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THIS FOR US MR. TRUMP LAWYER.
“A politically driven prosecution…that found 15 years worth of tax fraud.” Poor poor Donald Trump. When will he ever catch a break?
Pickin on innocent high criminals.
Go after Trump, don’t make a others pay for his crimes.
Exactly
If his employees knowingly committed crimes, they should be prosecuted as well.
They are all complicit.
We “haven’t had a prosecutor go after a former president” BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE A REASON TO.
D. ALL THE PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN CORRUPT TO A POINT CONNALD DUMP JUST HAPPENS TO BE MORE CORRUPT THAN ANY OTHER X PRESIDENTS.
@James Wadsworth , Not true! Some were stand-up guys.
Give one example of Obama being corrupt?
@Larry Garland Or Jimmy Carter? No…Trump is famous for being corrupt-he is not to be considered a normal president by any means.
@Larry Garland just look at the legal transcripts. There’s probably not much under Obama but there is always some.
The Trump lawyer is longwinded and rambling. He knows he’s on the losing team.
And he will not get paid. He might be in the same spot with them .
..it never worked whining about the other kid having his hands in an even bigger cookie jar 😆
Yes, his criminality is unprecedented. That was our point all along.
Who.?! The CFO.? because it was the CFO, not Trump himself, that avoided paying tax.
The point is : never before there has been such a CRIMINAL president in Usa history.
All this guy is saying is, we never had a white-collar criminal as president either.
