Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

After that, though, fuck it.
It is not uncommon for defense attorneys to meet with federal prosecutors prior to them seeking an indictment, in the hopes of convincing them not to bring charges against their client.
Citing the doctrine of "C'mon, dude, I said I was sorry."
Edit: Also Trump: "I'M NOT SORRY AND I'LL FUCKIN DO IT AGAIN AND SOME BRAVE PATRIOT NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO YOUR LOVELY FAMILY"
Will be wild, what’s going to happen to your family!
*( True, as long as your family is attempting a coup, like his family.)
40 of 'em in one tiny car.
Are there really 40 lawyers left that will work for him?
Maybe this set are real lawyers instead of blatant lieyers.
He found lawyers? Last time I checked on him nobody wanted to work for him, because he didn’t pay and was hard to work with and dragged all his former lawyers into the dirt and he is, you know, guilty af.
How many of them will quit mid-meeting?
Hope they got paid upfront!
These charges will be in Washington DC.
In DC, the rules are for a speedy trial, no courtroom cameras and they highly frown on Trump type bad-mouthing of judges and prosecutors in the media.
The coup monger will finally be held accountable!
As much as I want this to be true, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Do these lawyers have TV commercials with phone numbers that are just a single digit repeated seven times?
I believe the number to the firm is 877-CASH-NOW
Has there been a more successful ad campaign for something you'll likely never use? The songs from these commercials were stuck in my head just about a week ago.
I'm frequently amazed that Trump still has lawyers.
At this point I assume it’s just a rotating door tag team system. Lawyers come in, make some money and then yeah out to the next. Although this all hinges on trump paying invoices which is sus at best
But Trump doesn't pay his lawyers...
Jaws theme quietly starts
I would thoroughly enjoy it if someone/anyone would play that the next time the orange kumquat is filmed walking. I mean what a gif that would make!
I can't wait to see what Trump ~~tweets~~ ~~Xes~~ truths[?] about this?
A paradox: It is correct that posts on the Orange One's social media are called "truths". At the same time, to call anything the Orange One posts "truths" is incorrect.
Hmm... 🤔
ETA (It's more an oxymoron, but you get the idea.)
A "paradoxymoron" if you will, emphasis on the moron.
