    Bottom line:

    As set forth in the original and superseding indictments, when it became clear that Mr. Trump had lost the election and that lawful means of challenging the election results had failed, he resorted to a series of criminal efforts to retain power,” the report states

    And Al Capone had one conviction too.

    How many criminal charges has the exalted leader had in his life?
    How many settled with admission to avoid penalty? Like the university and the charity and.so many nda's.if you buy your way out of criminal charges do you get bonus points? Are you proud to rep someone like that?

    No. Truly, I don’t. I think he believed that would have been unfair to both the people of NY, who should not have justice delayed, and to Trump, who should be able to take the presidency with no thought of future sentencing for his crimes.

    He got less than 50% of the total vote. She wasn't my choice but the felonious rapists was the worst possible choice. How anyone can be proud and happy that he won is beyond me. You know if you weren't a mod you would be blocked. Qualify the source. Your score is extremely low

    This report just confirms what we've known for quite some time : Donald Trump is a traitor to the United States.

    But our voters don't mind, as long as he cons them with some nonsense about fighting inflation, or fixing illegal immigration.

    We're a nation of the amoral and ignorant - we'll get what we deserve.

    From Smith’s letter of submission:

    As set forth in my Report, after conducting thorough investigations, I found that, with respect to both Mr. Trump's unprecedented efforts to unlawfully retain power after losing the 2020 election and his unlawful retention of classified documents after leaving office, the Principles compelled prosecution. Indeed, Mr. Trump's cases represented ones "in which the offense [was] the most flagrant, the public harm the greatest, and the proof the most certain."

    ….
    It is equally important for me to make clear that nobody within the Department of Justice ever sought to interfere with, or improperly influence, my prosecutorial decision making. The regulations under which I was appointed provided you with the authority to countermand my decisions, 28 C.F.R. § 600.7, but you did not do so. Nor did you, the Deputy Attorney General, or members of your staff ever attempt to improperly influence my decision

    So you think Al Capone and Trump are roughly equivalent?

    My bad. Civil cases are technically not crimes but "legal disputes". Though taken as a whole the felon has been charged with numerous crimes and "legal disputes" that his money, position and cronies have managed to bypass his being held accountable.

    Capone was much more intelligent and less seedy than Trumph.

    Capone only killed selected people. Trump has the unfortunate potential to kill us all.

    i think lack of criminal conviction says nothing. oj was found innocent.

    and at the end of the day, djt killed way mor epeople than capone ever did. looka t tht edeath differentials between pubs and dems. it's just data and it's obvious that djt / maga

    how many cases had trump pled to in order to avoid criminal prosecution? charity? university? how many NDA's did he pay off to avoided criminal charges? someone you want your as your leader..smdh at the cognitive dissonance to not only keep telling yourself his robes are wonderful but try and convince others that clearly see a fat disgusting waste of oxygen that should be in jail if the trials were held.

    You are doing the thing makes non-Trump Republicans shake their heads. Trump is terrible enough as is. You do not need to try and paint him as worse than he is. Trump personally killed more people than Al Capone? Really?

    One can point to DJT’s actions as commander and chief for an unknown number versus an unknown number from Capone and conclude… “pulling something out of one’s ass” hyperbole.:confused:

    So is trying to claim Republicans are responsible for more deaths than Democrats, I’m assuming as POTUS’s, when Democrats were POTUS for WWI, WWII, Korea, and the most of Vietnam.

    poor joke delivery. Was just amused that anyone (poster you were responding to) would claim they know how many people DJT or Capone was responsible for killing.
