Wake me when Trump is actually INDICTED.

Yes our house managers have done a great job.
But it’s only made me angrier about our system.
I’m so tired of the mafioso word salad of his mgt style of never saying the actual words about hurting someone but only implying or suggesting it as Michael Cohen told us he always has done.

I want real legal charges of some sort brought against him either in New York or when we get a Federal Attorney General.
Otherwise, it’s all just the same old stuff from him and his pathetic cowardly defenders with Dems scoring some good talking points but not much else.

The Republican Party is on trial here. Their votes are the verdict of their patriotism.

An indictment just means someone has been charged, it doesn't mean they'll be convicted.

Where are the investigations into the aholes that led tours? What is happening with that? Frustrated. I'd say it is clear we need better laws that specify that specific actions will have consequences for a sitting president.
There has got to be a way to close the loopholes that allow these sob's to flaunt rules that everyone else has to follow. Starting with the attorney general. If the AG can't/won't adhere and uphold the laws, he should be removed. I don't know what that entails, but it seems crucial to prevent what we just lived through.
