Consider: at this point in his life, Trump doesn't have access to the best lawyers available. brooklynite Jul 2022 #2

Maybe so. I'd predict the first court room case in 2026. jimfields33 Jul 2022 #3

I think he has exhausted his legal options malaise Jul 2022 #6

Did he really say this? If so, he should be indicted (again). nt MerryHolidays Jul 2022 #17

No he did not exactly Hugh_Lebowski Jul 2022 #18

I disagree, MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #22

In other instances perhaps, but this reference to 4000 has a specific context Hugh_Lebowski Jul 2022 #31

That may be what he says, MarineCombatEngineer Jul 2022 #32

I was only explaining what he actually said in the specific context of malaise's post Hugh_Lebowski Jul 2022 #36

I believe the death penalty needs to be judiciously applied jmowreader Jul 2022 #46

Irony, like a pendulum swinging the only way it can. jaxexpat Jul 2022 #44
