how many "issues" out there look so promising regarding true justice - only to see them melt down and disappear like the Mueller Report.
Just think back on how many peoples' hopes and faith in justice were dashed by BarrBarrHut's burying of that report - AND the failure of Mueller himself fighting for the right for it to be released and seen by ALL! If Saturday Night Live were to do an update they'd have DeNiro sitting under a subway overpass with a brown paper bag surrounded by many other homeless people and him saying: "I almost had him........"

He probably already knows what are in the documents but needs the ones from accountants to complete the evidence package presented to the Grand Jury

I hope he plays it right but I have my doubts about Vance. He was rumored to have taken "contributions" from the trump camp before that tamped down progress on this case.

Fingers crossed. Let's see what happens.

6. Does he have political ambition?

I really don't know much about the guy. He seems older and I can't imagine why he'd want to jump into that arena at this point in his life. Seems like he would want to see the Trump case through to the finish....this could carry him another 5 years easy.

they've been letting this clan of talentless grifters get away with criminalality for years and it's too late now. nothing will come of this.

8. If Trump is good at anything, it's shielding himself from personal legal liability for his crimes.

Like every smart mob boss, he sets up his underlings to take the fall while he skates. Beyond some fines levied against Trump's businesses, I'm not holding my breath for anything more.
