You just put my daughter life in danger what you see all the time on the news a lot of lies and deaths of my children everywhere

Yet, Trump is still free.

What if Barack Obama has done this?

What proof ,?

Again, why is he still enjoying freedom?

And the Republican Party, they of no ethics or morals, they of no ideas, they having contempt for The Constitution and the American people, shrugged and said, “Nothing to see here, move along.”

Probably working on getting those Trump sleepers out of the DOJ.

Ugh that man is such a weasel...thinks he was above the law ..just shows how little he knew about our laws and how to be a president...

And Hillary? What about today’s news?

RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

When is enough enough, time to indicate DonaldJTrump

It’s called destroying American property. LOCK HIM UP!

Hand job!

Why were the qualifications so fucking low to ' drive the country ' temporarily....he had money ...so you ignored all the clear warning signs

Let's face it, Trump has not just shredded America's documents, he has been shredding the fabric of America.

Next he’ll be lifting his leg on the Jefferson Memorial.

Pffffft!

Yep bs . Now durham stated hillary and jake sullivan been spying on trump before and during his presidency

Silly rabbits. Everything belongs to him.

Wake up America

Who are these legal experts

Hell, he'll be dead before they bring any charges.

So, when are they releasing what trump took from the white house? I want to know!

Is there anything Trump has done legal ?

28 fireplaces and the stable genius decides to flush his papers instead. 🙄

You mean like when you delete emails ?.

He should’ve of ask the Clinton’s and the Biden’s about the proper way to destroy evidence.

It’s as if he wanted to brake absolutely all the rules in place, and yet… no consequences!

But her E-Mails

“But Hillary’s emails!”

He said he didn't flush,like we can believe that. The DOJ handling of this is just another 'shut up America'. Are they going to let this fade also? Probably.

Hello Hilary!

TOILET GATE

arrest him already. 1000 counts of tampering with federal documentation, 1 count is a felony. 1000 counts is 20 to life.

Lol

Whenever someone is under investigation for ANYTHING and they go ahead and destroy evidence and especially evidence that is crucial to building a case things tend to get a little fishy. 45 just became the catch of the day.

Better retrieve all remaining documents before is to late ASAP

What about the emails on Hillary’s servers?

He could’ve burned the White House down on the way out if he knew he was going to get away with everything

Need to be prison

Charge him then start lining up all his charges one at a time.

Trump hasn't been president for over a year and we're still finding out about serious crimes he committed, as president alone. That's amazing.

How can that be worse than treasonous behavior destroying government documents for any reason.

as usual. why hasn't he been arrested and charge yet? why are ALL law enforcement agencies AFRAID?

Like when Hillary did the bleach bit on 33,000 e-mails that belonged to us and took the hammer on 13 electronic devices? Illegal like that?

And nobody else did? lol - You people are so predictable. Morning_Joe spent a whole hour on it clutching their pearls and their usual hate Trump program. Of course, not a word about the most Trysted Cable Network.

But her emails...........

It’s how he rolls..just do what benefits you..screw everyone..hateful behavior gets headlines..illegally or not..

Some months back I had no way of taking care of my kids , had no job or money also struggling through the pandemic,so I decided to try Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I was able to earn $50,000 now am financially stable.

He should be locked up. Than lock him up

How long is this investigation going to take? My guess would be until he gets all the state houses stacked with his people to gift him with the next presidential election.

Is anyone surprised by this? When you can have a private meeting with Kim and only have translates in the room! Who recorded that meeting?

Who wrote this HillaryClinton

Lock him Up!! 😉😉

Even CNN stopped with the constant Trump articles. MSNBC is pathetic. There are other things going on in the world.

Not surprising there are no norms in Trump's world. He opened Pandora's box on purpose and the RNC is inciting more violence by stupidly legitimizing 1-6-21 while condemning other riots by BLM and Antifa.Why isn't the GOP holding hearings on the'fraud election'that incited 1-6.

Like a 2 year old!

Shall we talk about what the Clintons and the Obamas did?

Every President has done that. Literally every one.

Yime to prosecute him

He thinks he’s above the law

Lock him up!!!!

This is an open and shut case. Why is it not already being prosecuted? What is the penalty for it anyway?

Yes we know that but what is the consequences of this action If there are none then who gives a f*** If DOJ refuses to do its job who gives a s*** we need action today or Garland and Wray definitely need to be fired

One word..Hillary!

And Hilary illegally deleted all her hard drives and cell phones

teflondon continues to commit crimes completely unchecked and promoted by GOPTraitorsToDemocracy So white.

Isn’t vandalism of other people’s property a crime punishable under the laws of this country?

And….what’s new?

Nothing will be done because this is just one more lie from CNN oh I mean MSNBC.

Everyone does, so criminals don’t illegally misuse, your documents, and do fraud with it. Like the Russia dossier, as a prime example. ID theft.

This is the “but her emails” for the democrats lmao

LAW 18 2071: removes,mutilates , destroys records, shall forfeit office & disqualified from holding any government office ever again Up to 3 years in jail

Don't you have anything better to report on? What about reporting on Hunter Biden's emails?

This is just common practice for the Trump family...

Trump getting A $2,000.00 fine and forbidden from holding public office ever again for shredding documents. That would be hilarious. How appropriate that would be, taking out a little man who is a big pain for such a stupid little thing. I would enjoy that more than jail.

😄😄😄😄😄

Automatic signs of guilt

You can pretty much measure who the Democrats are threatened by most just by who they try to defame.

Lock him up!

ed_resist775 Next week we'll be talking about some other bogus act he's committed but he'll still be crashing weddings and dancing to The Village People at Mar-a-Lago. This shit ain't right.

Maybe he also shredded his tax returns!

Jan6 TrumpIsACriminal Any custodian of a public record who 'willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. DOJ does the law apply to all or not?

Lock him up.

Just let’s cut the shit, use the damm 14th amendment against his ass, he believes so much in the amendments and how they must be honored (2nd amendment) 👌let’s honor the 14th..!

Anyone who 'willfully & unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both; & shall forfeit his office & be disqualified from holding any office under the U.S.'
