I find it interesting that even CNN’s senior legal analyst thinks the whole thing is a farce and politically motivated.

But he speaks for a mainstream media source?! So that surely means you can’t rely on a word he says. Or does that only change when it is something you agree with?
None of which seems to have changed the public perception, which was my point. I'm not interested in defending Trump but that isn't a particularly strong point anyway. Trump running this year isn't something that appeared out of the blue, it's been an obvious possibility since 2020.
That's technically true but not really a complete or accurate summary of what's happened. The special counsel report earlier this year found evidence Biden was guilty of some things but concluded it wasn't worth prosecuting him, at least partly because of his age and forgetfulness. Hunter Biden is due to go on trial later in the year. None of that sounds like a waste of time to me.
Election interference at its best. Blinken got rewarded for his dirty work with the Secretary of State position. They knew this would be bad for Biden, so they signed a BS letter, that the infamous laptop was fake. Now we know it was election interference. But their Dems and thats ok.

The former president’s rambling tirade at Trump Tower contained a number of questionable assertions. It and other bullshit ridden tirades by Trump and his sycophants have been debunked and derided completely lacking any verifiable evidence.

Must say the ‘not being allowed to testify’ part did make me laugh. That would have been the decision of his defence team, which they’ll have made, fully in the knowledge that the man can’t help but lie whenever he opens his mouth, so perjury would have come into play. They weren’t (rightly) willing to risk that. His own people. Yet he still might be the president. It’s quite mind blowing.
It’s an Alice in Wonderland world where all evidence is proof of conspiracy and no evidence is proof that the truth is being hidden
It’s genius, you can’t argue against it,if you do it just proves that you’re either part of the conspiracy or naive and taken in by it
Ironic considering a federal judge has described Trump as … "a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries"
Trump sure likes to look and sound like he wants to destroy democracy, are they being complacent?
He accuses all US institutions of corruption, stated that the election process was corrupt and that he actually won, tried to undermine that process, supports an attack on the Capitol, says he wants to extend the number of terms a president (he) can serve and now calls the jury trial that convicted him corrupt
I can’t really see anything that justifies “nasty piece of work” clearly inappropriate joke, stupid to do this on social media, worthy of criticism and she should have apologised unreservedly, but yellow card more than red
Suggested update in red, and would add he's attempting to claim presidents of the United States should have full immunity from prosecution.
In the build up to beating Hilary, Trump said any candidate facing Federal charges should be banned from standing
Nope. Robert Hur the Republican who produced that report was caught lying like a little child. He is "caught" in transcripts APPLAUDING Biden's memory - it's just more smoke and mirrors - a lame excuse - after ANOTHER failed attempt from the Trumpist vegetable patch. They found nothing, nada.
"Hunter Biden is due to go on trial later in the year. None of that sounds like a waste of time to me", they just say this stuff, something happening, impending without any substance. The case is more likely that Hunter Biden will take Fox News to the cleaners.
Usually they are extremely anti-trump. In this case they are also saying that they think the case is politically motivated.
Hence it’s worth commenting. When even the insanely left-wing biased CNN can see it. Maybe you should evaluate your thinking too.
See, this is why I can’t take your views seriously. The hypocrisy and corruption here is beyond obvious; yet you make silly jokes about it. You’re a complete hypocrite.
No. I wouldn’t. I have repeatedly and consistently said that if Trump has done something truly illegal then I hope he is punished. Same with Biden. He is not fit to be president but I would not want him to be a political prisoner without just cause. I don’t want to see tribal banana republic politics played out in the West. It simply shouldn’t be happening.
What has happened is they have targeted him and turned a misdemeanour into a crime. That isn’t justice. It’s corruption.
Most of you on this thread hate the wealthy - that’s the real reason that you hate Trump and the Tories so vicariously. The envy/jealousy reveals itself quite a lot.
These charges 100% wouldn’t have happened if trump wasn’t running for president.
