The investigations: Have you noticed Trump has run out of lies, excuses that work?

Trump has always had a way of lying or having excuses to get himself out of trouble. Like when he told everyone his taxes were under audit. We all knew that was BS, but it worked until now.

Now when his lawyers show up at court, they have nothing but conspiracy theories, or they try to change the subject. Judges are having none of it. Trump has been losing all of his court cases.

When Trump talks about the NY investigation, why his accounting firm bailed on him, the Georgia investigation, his infamous phone call, the classified documents he took home with him. What he is saying now is absurd, meaningless, it sounds silly. No judge or jury would take it seriously.

When it comes to all these serious investigations, Trump has no lie or excuse that will work. It will be his silly excuses vs documents, text messages, recorded phone calls, witnesses testimony. Trump better take the 5th or he better call saul.

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied.

He just wants to run out the clock, and he's doing a fine job.

The investigations are going no where until they are completed. His delaying tactics are not working as well as they used to. The courts are on to his BS and they have been moving much more quickly.

Trump will appeal and take the 5th and kick the can down the road for years to come.

I will believe it when I see it.

...they serve the purposes of Republicans who know he's lying but don't care, they keep the delays going.

Hopefully his luck is running out for living on lies like this, but I'll only believe it when Trump is broke and/or in handcuffs.
