    For all the cries about it being political persecution, I haven’t seen anyone prove any of the evidence being used against him is false. Courts don’t take up cases without merit. The actual abuse going on is a minority of politicians trying to suppress the will of the American people.

    These crybabies won’t do anything to start a civil war. They’re spread too far apart, they don’t have enough of their own resources, and if somehow they were able to break off some piece of the country, who is going to be trade or political partners with a cesspool that is still surrounded by a super power and it’s friendly neighbors? This isn’t the 1770s or the 1860s. They have no powerful support abroad. This isn’t a group of people with plans. Just a bunch of scammers pulling a long con on rubes.

    Ignore them. Let them eat themselves. Let them keep telling us who they really are. From watching the debates, half of them seem tired of this BS themselves.

      The whole reason “persecution” is the main talking point is exactly because there is no legitimate defense. There’s not even an illegitimate defense that they can float to the base, so the only thing left is “witch hunt”.

        Agreed. If there’s evidence you did something, there’s only yourself to blame. I don’t care if it’s Trump, Hunter, the Sacklers, whoever. Own up to what you did. And if you’re ok with someone hurting people or try to cover it up, you aren’t really any better

      I’m not on his side. but selective application of the law is still abusive. just looking at the veracity of the evidence to assess fairness is disingenuous.
