  1. This is a complete joke. If this was anyone else he’d be locked up and interrogated for hours. America is a damn joke.

    1. @Jay there is literally no one who knows anything about this that says he was “well within his rights”. Jesus, what are you, dumbed down completely?

    2. @Jay I do read and listen to people. Sources are available from both sides and I am not talking about TV shows. I fact check with many sources and apply common sense. Are you disputing Trump fanning what happened on Jan 6th or that he lost the election, then show me facts that convince you to think that way. If you aren’t disputing, you can’t argue he did preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States which was if I interpret the constitution correctly, his responsibility.

  2. When they found the documents they should have cuffed him then. This is so Don the Con and you can’t use the rules with a lawless criminal

  3. When you get let go from your job, you don’t get to keep docs created while you’re there…it’s still the employer’s property….and taking it with you is theft

    1. @Brian Byers for sure, in the eyes of us normal, non-criminal types. But he is King Donald of tRumplandia and his entitlement is beyond the ability for normal law-abiding people to grasp.

  4. Dozens of former Trump lawyers facing possibility of ruined careers. At this rate we will be having a lawyer shortage. Why would anyone risk their careers for this man. By the way, I love your podcasts. You guys rock with news update!

    1. @TRUMP SNIPER I just love how your best insult is calling Trump a homosexual (basically a democrat/leftist). 😂🤣

  5. It doesn’t matter who the department of justice nominates as a special master. Unless that special master is appointed by someone from the Trump team
    The Trump team will not approve of any of them regardless of who they are. All just stall tactics.

  6. She is engaged in a charade, she should not be on this case. The DOJ needs to take the gloves off with Trump, he should be in jail right now.

  7. Hell if I commit a crime do I get to choose who goes through the evidence and chooses what the cops get to see? Disgusting fascists helping each other out.

    1. ​@ixsicness Whats the significance, midwit? Arguments are no longer valid if the account is relatively new? 😂😂🤣🤣

  8. For a man who always talks about being about law and order….. he sure seems to oppose the law at every turn and never cooperates!

  9. Just Indict Trump, Hold him accountable. Let the evidence speak for itself. Let this nation heal and its people finally move on.

    1. Hey Democrats/Groomers,
      1) Which imaginary crime did Trump commit?
      2) After 6+ years of being suckered, how much egg have you wiped off your red faces? 🤣

  10. This is the first time I have witnessed the bank robber trying to tell the police that he has a right to the money he stole from the bank.

    1. except that Trump isn’t asking for the money back. he’s just asking that an impartial investigator look at the entire case. with your logic, if the bank robber had a gun and the cops took it for evidence, the robber is entitled to take his gun back because it belongs to him.

    2. @Insidious Vidz Why are you so upset? It’s obvious they have no evidence. Stop dreaming about Trump and get on with your life. Go to work, spend time with your family but get over it already. You people are so terribly sad and depressing.

  11. Wait. So you reject the DOJ on why they oppose a special master but don’t wanna give a reason why you’re opposing it? What????

    1. @Thomas K he was not that successful if you look at his record, casinos went bust numerous bankruptcies, multi million $ losses.just a conman soon to be locked away

    2. @Ken Teague
      Yeah, but despite that he has managed to hold onto wealth.
      I honestly cannot figure out how he has any success.
      I cannot imagine any adult businessperson willing to put up with the child long enough to do any deal.

  12. Let me get this straight…they want taxpayers to pay for the Special Master AND decide who they get for Special Master !!?? Tell them to go to HE11 !!!

  13. At what point does the DOJ bring obstruction of justice charges against a federal judge who, without jurisdiction or justification, orders a halt to a federal investigation?

  14. That’s easy! They’re objecting because the two named people have experience and integrity. The attorneys for Trump want to re-define the law according to Trumps ego.
    They could care less about national security, it’s all about the grift at the end of the day.
    Garland needs to end this stupidity and indict the SOB !!!

  15. I really don’t understand why he is even getting to ask for this. It’s not like us normal people would be allowed to. This is just ridiculous and shows that rich and powerful people get treated differently.

    1. Actually, it can be requested. I doubt the average person has need for one. But, if it is a case where one can be of service. You can request one. One of those things they do not advertise, due to the cost & delays.

  16. Watching this in Amsterdam and I kinda find it hard to take USA serious. How on earth can you choose you’re judge in country claiming to be a constitutional democracy? I understand that any of the two parties can object to a certain judge but then to choose your judge…. 🤔
    Great trias politica

    1. Be vigilant, Democracy must be won every day. Just watch us fight for it like Americans. At the midterms we will end this by voting.

  17. Here we go, this is what he does. Slow everything down! This is ridiculous, any other person would be behind bars and surely wouldn’t have been granted a special master.
