That could well be, but if so, it doesn't say much for our justice system.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing that every single one of the five turns out to be indeed, "chump change".

So if this is correct why isn't it all over Fox and Newsmax and OANN?

In theory at least, the orange moron should be just as vunerable as Capone when it comes to lying to the IRS. That (lying to the tax collector), is not even slightly comparable to0 lying to your local banker, and it matters not in the slightest, who or what might be insuring your local banker. BTW. despite its name the FDIC is not an "insurer", it's a regulator. Or if you want to call it an insurer, you need to remember, it's NOT the bank that's being insured,it's the bank's d4epositors.

That's only one of the five-plus strains of case being brought. hoarding classified documents, interfering in elections, refusing to stop an insurrection attempt, rape and tax evasion aren't all chump change.

First off this is a civil suit so the law does not matter as much. Second, if the bank is FDIC insured there are definitely laws against lying. To the tune of up to three years in prison and $1,000,000 fine. It's rarely enforced but is on the books. Now with Trump it may very well been well past the statue of limitations since he lied to get a loan from a FDIC insured bank as I expect Russian banks are not insured in that way. On the other hand you can ask old Al Capone and his buddies what the IRS thought of being lied to...

That fiction came up time and time again over the sub-prime mortgage crisis, and NOBODY was ever prosecuted, not the borrowers nor the lenders.

Most of this is equivalent to prosecuting him for being an all-around asshole of a human being. He may be 100% guilty, but there just ain't no law against being an asshole!!

You're mixing your munsters with your addamses

Inquiring minds want to know if the Secret Service is presently in (forgive me) secret negotiations with DoJ on the particulars of Trump's upcoming pretrial confinement.

Yeah and I can see Melania playing Morticia Munster.

Only 21st century Morticia has a "Hot-girl-girl-action" pictorial."

If she is wouldn't that make Barron...Eddie Munster?

Perhaps not coincidentally to how J6C is preceeding possible DoJ criminal indictment(s), no?

There are so many legal threats to Trump I really don't regard which one lands first matter. Nor that maybe not all of them ultimately land.

Most important is that he is held to account, successfully or not.

Does anyone outside of TrumpWorld think he'll beat all of these cases? And why do you think Trump wouldn't be held without bail?

Begging Pardon, My Lord, but wouldn't it give him exactly what he needed to surmount Joe's 11,799 vote win?

C'mon man. It's all a little too obvious to be "potentially".

Somehow, I believe the obstacles would be significant.

. . . or maybe flee to Russia like Edward Snowden.
