Trump refused to listen to his legal team but now he is "shocked! shocked!" because he is indicted with 37 felonies

Echo opinion letter published in TribLive (Pittsburgh Tribune)

What was Trump thinking❓ 37 felonies❗

I am in utter disbelief that people not only continue to defend Donald Trump on this latest indictment, but that they also try to draw comparisons to others who had classified documents. 

Mike Pence and President Biden immediately turned everything over and allowed full investigations to be conducted.

Trump was given well over a year to return the documents, with his own lawyers advising to turn them over. The Justice Department said if he cooperated, this could be resolved. Instead, he moved and hid boxes, tricked his lawyer into certifying everything was returned when it wasn’t and was subpoenaed again; Trump’s own staff reported he was hiding the boxes.

The indictment reveals that he refused to listen to the advice of his legal team and lied to them and the National Archives. The best part of the indictment is the recording of Trump showing off that he not only had secret documents but wishing he had had a chance to declassify them. The immaturity blows me away — like a little kid showing off some cool new toy. No one wonders why his lawyers have been resigning and Trump is having trouble getting a new legal team together.

The only part his blindly loyal followers say that I will agree with is that he is being treated differently than others. 

Ha❗ Anyone else would have been locked away a long time ago❗❗😠No one believes it when he says “if they come for me, they will come for you.” Right? Unless, of course, you committed 37 felonies.

Trumpian lesson 101: No One Is Above The Law

This echo opinion letter was published in TribLive, a Pittsburgh Pennsylvania newspaper:

It is very difficult to believe but there are zealots out there that have wrongly defended the former guy Trump by making complaints about “witch hunts”. These cult followers criticize the constant justifiable mainstream media “negative” coverage reports about the criminal Trump.

Hitler Youth Salutes the Fuhrer:  Crowds of Hitler Youth salute as they listen to a speech given by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader, at a rally at the Nuremberg Stadium in Germany, 1937. 

First off, the never-ending Nazi-like Trump (Beer Hall Putsch) rallies and listening to him hinting at a 2024, run to keep his deranged ambitions front and center.  In other words, the former guy brings the negative attention on himself.

Second, for those criticizing the January 6th committee hearings — have you even watched them? And I don’t mean watching via your ultra right or ultra left news stations. I mean actual, form-your-own-opinion viewing via C-SPAN or YouTube. Witness after witness, from his own attorneys, aides, Republican judges and lawyers to Ivanka Trump, all confirmed that the “stolen election” was a lie and there is no evidence to support any of the accusations. Many people who once worked for Trump or were familiar with him in the White House tried to warn the American people. Yet … all of those people are the liars? But, Not Trump?  

HELLO? But as The Shovel points out, the precedent set by the FBI to execute a legal search of Mar-A-Lago, the Trumpian golf resort and part time residence, “means that anyone who evades taxes, attempts to undermine an election, sexually assaults women, manipulates the value of their assets, uses state resources to enrich themselves or aids and abets the overthrow of a democratically elected government will be subject to investigation.”

Is this where we want America to go? Where we prosecute those who blatantly break the law? IOW, no one is above the law.

Dump the tRumpf! Listen to the litany of witnesses!

Echo letter to the editor published in TribLive: 

Trump brings it on himself!

Wrong minded right wing complaining Republicans are calling a legal search of The Former Guy's mega-home resort in Florida a “witch hunt” and the constant mainstream media is “negative” coverage. But, the Mar-a-Lago resort is now a crime scene.

First off, the never-ending Nazi-like Trump* rallies and him hinting at a 2024, run keep him front and center, so he brings the attention on himself. (Meanwhile, the litany of court criminal and civil filings against #tRumpzi and his associates continues to grow.)

Second, for those criticizing the January 6 committee hearings — have you even watched them (and listened to the witnesses)? And, I don’t mean watching via your ultra right or ultra left news stations. I mean actual, form-your-own-opinion viewing via C-SPAN or YouTube. Witness after witness, from his own attorneys, aides, Republican judges and lawyers to Ivanka Trump, all confirmed that the “stolen election” is a lie and there is no evidence to support any of the accusations. Many people who once worked for Trump or were familiar with him in the White House tried to warn the American people. Yet … all of those people are the liars? Not Trump? (HELLO?)

Just imagine living in America where people that are guilty of crimes are sent to prison? 

Indeed, precedent set by legally searching Mar-a-Lago “means that anyone who evades taxes, attempts to undermine an election, sexually assaults women, manipulates the value of their assets, uses state resources to enrich themselves or aids and abets the overthrow of a democratically elected government will be subject to investigation.”

Is this where we want America to go? Where we prosecute those who blatantly break the law?
