is facing, by some counts, around 20 civil lawsuits and criminal investigations. Some involve the risk of financial penalties; others could lead to indictment and even a trial. That would throw American politics into tumult: Mr Trump is expected toThe “raid” at Mar-a-Lago, in Florida—an unprecedented action against a former president. The Department of Justice sought national-security documents that Mr Trump had taken from the White House.

Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, is conducting a separate investigation into whether the president and his associates tried to overturn the election results in that state. Georgia law criminalises solicitation of election fraud. Some experts believe Mr Trump’s notorious leaked phone call to the state’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, in which the former president asked him to “find 11,780 votes”, might constitute evidence of that offence.

Reminder that Ford pardoned Nixon. Biden would win major points from independents for doing likewise, otherwise we will see recrimination and retaliation during the next Republican presidency. I have no doubt Hunter took big bucks from the Chinese under Burisma.

Lots.

Regardless of the outcomes, Trump will use them to raise money. The Art of the Grift.

He'd b in trouble if the US had a proper justice system with prosecutors who had back bones

Even the Salem witches had only one investigation going against them, not 4.

Meanwhile, you refuse to mention anything about the corrupt Biden family. Pathetic!

Sick of this drivel! You call yourself the economist but fail to talk about the actual economy and the demise of the American dollar via Russia and China.

Lock up Trump!

The walls are closing in on him, and it won't be soon enough.

There must be a few more inquiries just waiting to be used if the current 4 run out of steam. It's really getting old and I have to assume that someone is keeping a list of names and numbers. Don't you?

🤡

Cause he's crooked.

Will Trump be arrested?

This country doesn’t enforce the laws with people who have genuine political power. That’s reality.

They live in a delusional world when it comes to Trump...TDS is real.

I literally don’t understand how Americans can’t see that when he was president they’re country was flourishing in most aspects and now it’s literally on its knees and just about doing all it can to start WW3, I’m in the uk 🇬🇧 trust me we are no better

Maybe he will be living...

Can the far-right progress in a White minority America?

DJT going to jail is just about as likely as the Economist is to get me to subscribe just to read this article.

Some Democrats!! They’ve elevated him to their most hated and feared enemy, until he decides to exit. Putting him in prison (they never pause to explain why) is their Holy Grail. I can only compare it to the left’s hatred of Mrs. Thatcher, which is still expressed with bile…

Some Democrats should be incarcerated! If I paid tax in America, I’d be outraged at this farce!

You know what will happen to Donald Trump NADA and what will happen to the former president of Brazil BOLSONARO, NOTHING. This will be a heavy blow to democracy in both countries.

Let’s try a fair election for a change

No they want him to run and be the candidate with trials coming

More than Dems, DeSantis is hoping that DJT will be in jail. He has asked the Florida legislature to petition god on his behalf.

He will not go to jail ,but the Biden s need to be .

I don't think it's possible, but the next president won't be him.

He is in no jeopardy at all the DA got caught trying to hide exculpatory evidence. He is not filing charges.

🤭

20 years they’ve been on him investigating him. Give it up already

ONCE AGAIN the most hateful people on the planet shriek in agony as president Trumps false charges wither away. Liberals NEVER learn.

“Far from straightforward “? Are you journalists? There is evidence revealed in the last 2 days that prove, beyond a doubt, that he didn’t. Can the activists pretending to be journalists at least pretend to practice journalism?

The more anyone looks into the district attorney's argument here the more politically motivated the district attorney looks.

A New York recordkeeping misdemeanor, needing to bootstrap a federal felony that the DOJ and FEC both declined to prosecute (or said was not illegal) and both past the statute of limitations. It’s a clown show. Bring it.

I know it’s a headline, but there is NOTHING illegal in paying “hush money” to anyone for any reason (other than purely political). What’s at issue here is: . DA Bragg is a mind reader and KNOWS Trump paid this money solely for political reasons . That is a misdemeanour charge…

You had to break the news! I wanted to see all the Karens meltdown at once. You suck!

It’s pretty straight forward. There’s nothing there

The Porno President !

He isn’t even likely to get arrested at this point.

So let’s not waste our tax money and energy on something that doesn’t matter, and not get distracted by much much more important issues

And yet, Micheal Cohen went to jail; for it and he was only working at Trump's direction.

Fucking APE!!

This investigation is the most minor of several investigations: In this one, he was only trying to cheat to get elected.

He will never see the inside of a cell. However. His indictment will be unprecedented.

We have four other living Presidents, between them they have ZERO investigations.

Title Correction - How much fake litigation is Donald Trump in?

He's not in any Jeopardy

How about bringing all 4 indictments within a two week period. Trump will love it, he likes to stay busy and in the news.

Do the crime pay the time.

🤫🫢

I been hearing this same shit for almost 7 years now. This is just a joke at this point.

Typical liberal propaganda coming from . Doesn’t surprise me in the least unfortunately

All of these indictments will fail… Watch !!!

Expect this crap from Deep State globalist rag!

Only four.... as in the number 4? I am sure they old demcraps have another dozen or so ready and waiting behind the door, just in case.

Plenty!

wild!! the world forgot about paulajones billclinton ginniferflowers

We heard enough of this rhetoric already let the Attorney General do his thing and spear the American people the dramas. Trump committed a lot of crimes which no president has ever done in history and he will go down first for his arrogant behaviors or our Democracy is useless.

TRUMP 2024

Everything surrounding TFG has been unprecedented.

He always finds a way out

I wonder what’s really being covered up while we’re all distracted by this. Meanwhile, Putin is responsible for thousands of deaths from war but he’s just at home. What a world!🤦‍♀️ hypocrites and frauds

What took so long?

Lol... sure... This time This time This is more ' I want to be famous' from the DA.. nothing else

DominicWaghorn He's a 'big boned' lad, they'd better come mob handed..

It happens to criminals

Ele é satânico realDonaldTrump

ترامپ‌ فقط‌ تو‌ میتونی‌ پوتین‌ رو‌ نابود‌ کنی‌ ....

What he does is always a sensation and gets the attention of the world

A LOT! Saved you a click.

Has been for many years, so?

We got him now …

Powinni go wsadzić.

They'll get him now!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not enough

However much you think he’s in, you’re probably underestimating it. He’s Chinese election interference in the U.S.

Not much. All they got in the raid was a couple pair of Melania's underwear and the white house stapler. Garland keeps her underwear in his desk drawer so he can sniff them well he hatches his evil plans.

Maybe they will want the classified information in his brain 🧠 back next.

Not much, probably. Considering Hillary wasn't punished for home storage of classified documents, it'd seem inconsistent to now let Trump be punished.

None if past is prologue.

He surely doesn't deserve any of that

So - you think it is ok to steal classified documents from the White House?

Hoping the light of truth illuminates the facts DonaldTrumpNeverAgain

Trump’s lawyers, “Our client cannot speak to the documents as presented. Our client lost custody of documents when the FBI performed a surprise late night raid while our client was off premise.“

Trump made sure of that!

usa deserves civil war

I think nothing is legal what Trump is doing.

No it really wouldn't throw it into tumult. There would be some shocked, disappointed pearl clutching, then off to the next fundraiser. You know it's true

“If”? The title should be “Why has he not been indicted”.

No it won't. Criminals are criminals.

I question if he could realistically be held, whether it's at a military prison or a regular prison, without being busted out.

That's right. Keep following the carrot. Nice and easy, .

Joe Biden indicting his political opponent would be the biggest attack on democracy in history.

He has managed that all on his own. Subversive.

Zero this man has been threw the ringer of the deep state trying to find anything to attach to him. And he has come out on the other side clean. This Trump derangement syndrome is so tiresome.

Love him or hate him, he must be charged and convicted or the justice system has given Carte Blanche for his crimes and others who mimic his crimes to continue and increase.

By him taking highly classified documents into an unsecured home location has thrown American politics into tumult. An indictment is the outcome of his criminal behavior

Explained.

Far worse precedent if he isn’t convicted for at least a fraction of the crimes he committed on Americans.

ALL !!!

Russian agent Trump has what is coming to him

Lock him up, the best solution !!!

Isn't it interesting that 'The committee investigating the attack on the Capitol' is not investigating why the building was not sufficiently protected as it routinely is during large demonstrations. The Democrats are in charge and it was their failure, that's the only issue.

Attempts to influence his re-election

No trouble. Teflon don eludes all trouble.

Have a really nice weekend Diaper Don!!!!

He’s not in any more trouble than he’s ever been in. He won’t be arrested or tried. He’ll probably sue the January 6 committee for defamation of character and win.

I'm sure Trump is delighted to finally get to tell his side of the story.

But he cannot be in the race.

TRUMP IS A THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND OUR DEMOCRACY* INDICT AND PROSECUTE TRUMP.

Trump for KING 👑

Coming back in full gear 😎

He WILL BE!

He will never go to jail for anything for the simplest of reasons -- He can always make a credible insanity plea... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In adjoining cells: Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller, James Comey, ________________________________________________ Please add your selections !

White European American criminal suspects don't ever seem to get lethal justice like Black African Americans!

That’s because this country has two Justice systems working, one for the rich and powerful and the other for the regular US residents!

…and it’s surprising how many Democrats still think he is President.

If Donald Trump won't be jailed by the end of this year, it will be a blatant failure of the U.S rule of law. Donald Trump must be arrested immediately.

🇧🇷 This is the 3ar-left candidate, the bouncy🤦‍♂️

Why not? The Kremlin will show Trump's cooperation agreement

He is a crook, needs to be in jail

Donald Trump spent his life fighting in the courts. Do Democrats believe they will beat him there? 😂🇺🇸

Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released.

نیازی کے ساتھ بھی یہ ہی کچھ ھونے جا رہا ھے۔۔۔😜 MaryamNSharif

He should be rushed to the nearest psychiatric hospital,chained him up to bed&tied him up tightly in order to not cause harm to himself.

This guy has been playing you all for decades. You didn’t find Russian collusion, you can’t get him in anything. Refocus.

Probably because they cannot even identify one crime

Trials take a long time, but I'd wager that he'll be politically toast.

TDS is rampant.

Lol the arbiters of democracy hope their main political opponent is in jail before the next election. Democracy!

Comic of the millennium

Trump and/or Biden running for president again is a diagnosis of cardinal sickness of american political culture

Non, look at Hillary instead.

Any other American citizen would be in jail without bail for the documents alone.

Jeez, what a silly and bozoic sensational headlines! Why would it be tumultuous. Is Trump the con artist above the law? Enough of this yahoo slingers just to get a click!

۱۰۰ ٪ رای میاره !

No, he is not going to run for office again! Not in a orange jumpsuit behind bars! He is stirring the political waters to save his own neck! Our necks are also in the noose! Americans know what is right! He will be US historic example of what not to do for all the future to see!

Trump should not be indicated he SHOULD BE IN JAIL..IN AN ORANGE JUMPSUIT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

This is great potential for well-meaning, powerful group of Americans to vote for a replacement for Trump to run. Someone who could replace him in people’s hearts.

Total baseless BS.

Yet, that's exactly what needed, a shake up, even rewriting the constitution. It will take real courage and what this presidential term frame work was about. We made old narrative such as regime change nonsense took the center stage to feel our false self, didn't it?

He is not above the law.

He’s a flagrant ignorant criminal. Rule of law or nah?

Not enough , but USA is incapable of any justice as he has ripped you off

He stole classified documents. Some of the most sensitive national secrets. Who did he share them with? Why did he lie about them? He needs to be in prison!

All he wants to do is hold rallies. And he can do that now any time he pleases. I doubt he wants to do the hard work of being POTUS. Also, he's toxic & knows he'd need some legitimate cabinet members.

Even if he is indicted. He will run for President in 2024 and win.

Not as a Republican, he would have to run as an independent

It would be the biggest threat to the Union we’ve faced since the civil war. And possibly unrecoverable. An American president attempting to imprison his predecessor. Likely a political bridge too far.

Reality check, politics are already tumultuous. Indict him, try him and convict him. Justice is blind, not stupid.

It would be worth it.

Who cares. The man is a treasonous nutcase. Those that would vote him...ugh

yawn

There have been a cumulation of over 22 years of investigations in the past 6, involving everyone from the DOJ, FBI, Democrats, IRS & so on. One of them led to Hilary Clinton's team paying a fine & the FBI & the Democrats in court, of which they are still under investigation.

Yet everyone keeps talking about him. Let him fade into obscurity as he deserves. “There’s only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” ~ O. Wilde

All hoaxs just like Russia collusion, impeachment 1&2 but these commies just won't stop. We are winning and we will never stop till the deep state is gone forever!

They will all amount to nothing since as we have repeatedly seen they are politically motivated

Ma no! Who saw that coming?

*former President turned insurrectionist

So surprise that he wears nappies

Fuckin lock him up already!

Witch hunt

Does it look 👀 like he gives a 💩💩💩💩

Anything to stop him running again, right?

Sooner or later a lying, cheating man has to pay the piper! I hope he ends up in jail in an orange jumper!!!

Three strikes and you are out?

Teflon Don

You can indict a ham sandwich.

Trump for Prison Cell 2024. People actually think this bloated orange clown is even going to be a free man to run again.

All lies and pure horseshit propaganda against President Trump from the real criminals

None

Trump has so many law suits coming his way that he has hired Debbie to organize all of them - from URGENT to IGNORE. For this task Trump won’t spend extra for younger and more voluptuous staff. She’s a blonde gal from the Bronx tho.

He’s been faced stuff for years, but nothing ever sticks.

Is that bad, KellyannePolls? That seemspretty bad.

Mala yerba nunca muere.
