    Unrelated to trumps impending life sentence but LOL funny from Brett’s interview. His profound dumbness is bested only by those who vote for him. He hasn’t even figured out what a total fool Brett made him look like. Instead of the town hall this is what CNN should have done with Kaitlin.

    ‘Huh?’ Trump Brags About Freeing Non-Violent Inmate – Only to Be Told She Would be Executed Under His Plan For Drug Dealers

    Critics of that law point out that 13,500 people have been released, about 12% of them have committed serious crimes after that. Joel Francisco was serving a life sentence for selling crack cocaine. He was released in 2019, allegedly stabbing a man to death. Rearrested. Paul Moore, drug trafficker, fatally shot a rival, received a reduced sentence.

    Snip

    But I focused on non-violent crime. As an example, a woman who you know very well was in jail. She had 24 more years to serve, she served for 22 years. Alice,” said Trump, referring to Johnson, a convicted cocaine trafficker he freed and then pardoned at the end of his presidency.
    snip


    After Baier pointed out, “But she’d be killed under your plan,” a confused Trump responded, “Huh?”

    “Not cooperating” is far, far, far different than claiming you are cooperating, and then lying about the cooperation, and then falsifying a response to a subpoena (as opposed to objecting to it). That is why he is guilty.

    Baier beat him up badly. Didn't know he had it in him. I didn't watch the CNN town hall, but I did see a clip of her asking Trump about whether he showed the classified records to people. I think that allegation must have already been publicly reported and they were getting him on the record about some of the allegations. It's just amazing to me that he keeps talking about this stuff now that he's been indicted.

    Being the most ridiculous president is quite the feat. I'm glad that is your bar.

    It's sad you actually have to explain that to an adult.

    His entire life people have run interference for him, taken accounntability or bought him out of liability. This is different, stealing our nations secrets, and i think the dumb things he is saying is out of fear for himself and losing political support, all which can be turned against him.

    Who is this power that supersedes the executive office of the President? and where are they outlined in the constitution?
    Bret the human Cabbage Patch doll & DC gatekeeper hates Trump. He makes a great point though. Hiring was Trump's biggest negative. Trusting the GOP & the Swamp (he said he would drain) was a big mistake. He won't make it again. He will surround himself with fire breathing populist.

    Ok, I’ll play.

    Where does The Constitution establish the President as having powers that supersede the other branches of government? As far as I know, we have a separation of powers between the three co-equal branches of government, with checks and balances to prevent one branch from having too much authority.

    Plus he's not being charged for anything he did as President - just as a private citizen.

    Obviously a grim story in the Atlantic right now. But it gave me an idea. When the Mango is sentenced confinement will be an issue. The idea of him being on house arrest even without Mar a Lago being a club is a non starter but I don’t want him shived in prison either (for the purpose of serving his term). A supermax is one option but how about sending him to the bottom of the ocean or a lake (have to be out of the reach of divers) but not so deep he can’t be resupplied. Would save a fortune on SS protection.

    Just a happy thought…

    Even if he is convicted there is no way in hell he gets sent to a pound me in the ass federal prison. He'll get some kind of modified house arrest/probation, which he will whine about how horrific that is and how it is the worse punishment any has ever gotten.

    Guantanamo could be an option.

    What is funny is he basically inadvertently admits to obstruction and that he understood he can’t declassify documents as a civilian….in the interview. His lawyers are probably jumping out of windows right now.

    Does he lose secret service protection if convicted?
