That there is some behind the scenes work being done by DOJ.

I’ve said for years now, HE WILL NEVER BE CHARGED FOR SO MUCH AS JAYWALKING.

Accept it, that’s how America rolls.

I still have some hope.

He is blatantly dirty as fuck, especially those cooked-up overrated and underrated real estate valuations. That is billions in fraudulent illegally represented false valuations, when taken as a total. It is pure tax and bank fraud.

and I was one of them. I knew it. We knew it. Vance signaled early on where he stands and he didn't hide it.

Any charges would have made it awkward for them to attend those cocktail parties together.

Slide for a long time and this shows it. He was never going to indict tfg because he's probably been paid off a long time ago. Glad he's retiring and getting out of the way so we can have a chance at some justice. And I hope Vance is investigated for all his covering up for these criminals.

and this memo/letter certainly indicates he'd protect The Don.

Or are we just angry at an innocent man?

The longer Trump goes unindicted, the more it looks like he's done nothing.

Why have they not charged him if he is evading taxes?
