With so many crimes to choose from, this one will be a good start because it is a slam dunk. Let justice be served!
I'm thinking it will still require time and resources to be expended by Schiff and the discovery phase will uncover more crimes which will keep him tied up for years (hopefully in prison).
Gotta start somewhere.
That sounds nice, but when was the last time they did that to anyone in a position of power on the left?

Tax fraud. Same way they got Capone. Schiff's way up there as one of the most despised in my Hall of Ghouls.
True enough. I have to admit that history is on your side. However, I'm a diehard optimist, and we're seeing some things we have never seen before. So, maybe the glass really is half full? 😉 😁

You can never escape the Forensic Accountants.
Trump is different.
His people are different.
Some version of justice is coming.
It won't be "hanging from the highest yard arm in the British fleet!"
But something WILL happen.
Or America is toast.
@karnage @DeWalt @StevenDouglas
Me too. I’m wondering if President Trump’s posts are ‘fair warning’ to those involved.
@karnage @threalist @YoungBlood
I had you 100% in the optimist club until the "or". Nevertheless, I totally agree. 👍 😉
@YoungBlood @DeWalt @StevenDouglas
Could be.
Sometimes Trump throws stuff out there as a distraction - and sometimes he warns people what's actually coming.
It is not pessimistic to note how serious is the situation.
But I am always optimistic. Today my eldest son said, "We need to deport all the illegals and kill all the liberals."
I beamed like any proud papa would! 🤣
@karnage @threalist @YoungBlood
HAHAHAHA! Smart kid! And, he survived college with his values in tact--no small feat.
A chip off the ol' block, I'm thinking.😉
And, you're right, of course; it is a serious situation, and it's better we realize it.
The kid is much smarter about money than his old man.
Which is a good thing!
@karnage @threalist @YoungBlood
You laid the foundation, so he had a head start. 😉 👍
@Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
That's right! Good memory! (I forgot about him.)
It's an exceedingly rare event.
Rod Blagojevich, Governor of Illinois, also went to jail. Served 8 years out of a 14-year sentence. Trump commuted his sentence, then pardoned him. I never actually understood the case against him but Obama was involved in the accusations.
@Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
Since Obama was involved, I tend to think it was an unjust sentence.
@DawnM @Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
I was sure it was an unjust sentence, because Obama was involved!
@DawnM @KCSooner4Trump @Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
Every Illinois Governor serves a little time. It's a rite of passage.
@karnage @KCSooner4Trump @Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
Ahhh...the Chicago way, I guess?
@DawnM @KCSooner4Trump @Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
They probably build it into their career path/schedule/budget...!
@karnage @DawnM @KCSooner4Trump @threalist @YoungBlood
Sheesh. 😒
It seemed so outrageous and unfair.
@Stefanie @DawnM @KCSooner4Trump @threalist @YoungBlood
Since 1960, the only IL Governors who haven't gone to prison are - I think - Ogilvie and Thompson. Both Rs.
@karnage @Julie @Stefanie @threalist @YoungBlood
That's not enough. But, I suppose it is what it is.
@karnage @Stefanie @KCSooner4Trump @threalist @YoungBlood
I really did not know that. Very interesting.
@karnage @DawnM @KCSooner4Trump @threalist @YoungBlood
Wow. Had no idea.
@DawnM @karnage @threalist @YoungBlood
The eternal optimist in me has a maybe-strange take on this.
The more lawlessness they get away with legally, the more overtly and lawlessly emboldened they become. Which, for us, politically, is a very good thing. I believe this accounts for a substantial part of their "in the toilet and flushing fast" approval ratings.
IOW, nobody's getting away with anything.
@StevenDouglas @karnage @threalist @YoungBlood
You know, I had to think about it for a minute, but I think you are on to something. This actually makes a lot of sense. 👍 😉
@DawnM @StevenDouglas @threalist @YoungBlood
From an eternal perspective, no one gets away with anything.
But in this life, in this "real world," many bad guys die in gold brocade and standup guys in hovels.
