Not guilty!? Dude must want the pain to be magnified. Because that is what is going to happen when he loses which he absolutely will.

Why did he meet at least 4 times with Biden Whitehouse officials? Just going to skip that part ?

A release of Donald Trumps taxes prove, that unlike democrats, Donald took a $1 a year salary. Unlike Cheney and Kinzinger, Mr. Trump supported many charities instead of being his own charity. The news is saying it is a lie, even though it is in writing and accepted by the IRS.

Biden will pardon him.

Isn’t it crazy to think how much this dude was worth and he was fuckin the alien from MIB? freesbf hedidnothongwrong CryptoInvestor

They moved this along really quick. I wonder what is being hidden
