Did the DoJ issue agreements to not prosecute the trump clan (similar to bill cosby's deal)? [View all]

true, but federal prosecutors use the same methods..... getagrip_already Jul 2021 #13

But the feds would not make a deal not to prosecute based on a state court case StarfishSaver Jul 2021 #14

the link to cosby was just an example... I'm talking strictly federal level getagrip_already Jul 2021 #20
