should mean getting rid of EVERYONE tRump has placed in high office. The entire group is crooked and sleazy. Their counterparts in the gop have to go, too. Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey have protected these crooks from day one of the illegitimate presidency. Getting this total mistake out of the WH might be the best thing to happen to this country, since he will take most of the other crooks with him. These people have no shame, whatsoever. The gop could not have chosen a more unqualified, ignorant, shameless crook as their "leader". After waiting all these years, look what they settled for!! Kind of amusing, really, if he was not such a disaster for this country.

Lock him up.

The SDNY is Geoffrey Berman who was a partner with Giuliani at Greenberg Traurig. One thing for sure , whatever's in Trump's taxes is something bigger than he doesn't want people to know how much he's really worth.

And NY State prosecutors, going after his state taxes, are 2 different courts and different jurisdictions.

However, once NYS makes those documents public, then bam, the Feds no longer need subpoenas. They'd have him!

They can examine them though and if they are like Cohen said, NY State AG can indict him on State charges for specific sections of criminal behaviour?
