(562 posts)This is a long rant of false or uninformed assumptions, so I wonder why you'd be making them as a DU contributor?
You're clearly not familiar with Trump's legal or financial record.
Trump is reckless in his business dealings. With Trump University, he didn't even take the time to get his "University" accredited. By legal definition, it was a fraud from the outset.
The only reason he hasn't been in jail is due to his network of New York political and legal connections - through Rudolph Giuliani, through his contributions to political and prosecutorial campaigns, through his former federal judge sister. Trump University could easily have been a white collar criminal case. This is the privilege of celebrity.
You're sure he's far too smart to get on the phone and admit anything because he's a billionaire real estate developer.
Please prove he's a billionaire. He's been bankrupt at least 6 times. Forbes has admitted they have no idea what his worth his. He actively campaigns to be on it, and was kicked off for years. Western banks won't lend to him.
His tweets and interviews are wonderfully instructive to a prosecutor. "My business dealings are a red line. Don't go there." Thanks Donnie, you just told me where to to find crimes, genius IQ. The obstruction case is basically proven by his interview with Lester Holt and statements in public meetings with Russian officials the day after firing Comey. How do you think Seth Abrahamson, with no access to confidential records, can piece together 50 point threads, with timelines and corroborating evidence, based almost entirely on Trump's tweets and the shit that comes out of his mouth?
"Russia if you're listening, find/release the e-mails!" How did he know they had Clinton's e-mails? D'oh!
Let's appoint Cypress Bank President Wilbur Ross to commerce, Exxon CEO negotiator of the Ukraine oil deal w/Russia Secretary of State, and have Paul Manafort, Ukranian/Russian political operative crook head my campaign, deny Russian election interference, have Kushner meet with Russian officials to set up backward channels when everyone knows the FBI is monitoring Russians 24/7, then be brazenly obvious that getting rid of Russian sanctions is a must - to the extent congress has to pass a bill for more sanctions. He may as well wear a hat that says TRAITOR on it.
Imagine the shit for brains of this group when it comes to e-mails, wiretapped meetings with Russians, and floors of computer, financial, written materials which evidentiary validity can't be disproven.
If you think Mueller is relying on Flynn's credibility as evidence, and not the hard evidence he can provide, you must think he's as dumb as Trump, and a completely incompetent prosecutor- like first year out of law school level.
