As long as the Pig doesn't have a scapegoat or a fool willing to fall on their sword for him he might catch some heat.

"Federal prosecutors have begun a grand jury investigation into whether classified White House documents that ended up at former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida home were mishandled, according to two people briefed on the matter.

"The intensifying inquiry suggests that the Justice Department is examining the role of Mr. Trump and other officials in his White House in their handling of sensitive materials during the final stages of his administration. . . . . . .

"Charges are rarely brought in investigations into the handling of classified documents. But the Justice Department typically conducts them to determine whether any highly sensitive information may have been exposed so the intelligence community can take measures to protect sources and methods."

It said prosecutors would have to prove Trump willfully broke the law. Smoking guns and bloody knives with fingerprints are no longer considered evidence.

Sorry but I have watched TFG get away with so much shit at this point that I will only get excited when I see him perp walked in a pair of handcuffs.

...................Why?..................To indict a former president is indeed a major step.....

...Indictments mean trials, and trials in court of a former president, would be extremely hard for many to take..

That is my opinion. for what it is worth. ? ....

You’ll fall asleep before you finish it. Species burger, genus nothing.

Look, I’m in the Al Capone school of incarceration. Valentine’s Day massacre or tax evasion. I’m fine with the latter. But when you wake up from the induced nap let me know whether you’re still excited.

As he grows more and more vulgar with each passing day, I wonder which small word, singular sound byte, or headline will be the 'paper thin wafer' his Mr. Creosote eats.

I’ve been disappointed so many times before. TFG has ducked prosecution at least as often as Meyer Lansky.
