SDNY will have some info for you in due course. It's hard to keep all with all of the investigations.

Anyone paying any attention has seen lots and lots of evidence of trump being colossally bent. He has, just as one relatively small example, a reputation for not paying contractors going back decades.

Whatever Mueller comes up with will be in addition to a lifetime of dodgy behaviour.
Is he any different to the politicians of the past though?
Yes, on another level I suspect. And... the lying, Of course, all politicians take liberties sometimes, but this clown has told over 8,000 documented lies in 2 years.

8,000!
He's in it for himself just like those before him but at least he has ruffled the feathers of the political elite. Did you believe Clintons speech about never touching Molinsky?

it's been 2 years! surely the best intelligence service in the world would have found something by now?



The total lack of any real action against Trump makes me think they have nothing, I may be wrong but with some many people pointing so many fingers and yet we have not seen a single piece of actual evidence. During his first year as President, it was hard to find a news story that didn't use the word impeached, yet another year has passed and we still haven't seen a charge.

I did believe it at the time, and was appalled it was a lie, and remain so.

ONGOING INVESTIGATION. Why is this so hard for you to understand!?

Did you see Hilary on The One Show? Calling out their friend Weinstein on the allegations of abuse of power! Bill is just as bad yet she never mentioned it?! Trump ran a clever campaign judging the mood of a lot of voters who are sick to the teeth of career politicians out to line their own pockets,

The same happened with Brexit and it is starting to spread over the whole world. The working people are sick to death of the establishment, MSM and the political elite just out for themselves and big business. Interesting times lay ahead.

I didn't see the One show, I am in the states until June.

Yes, it is amazing trump managed to win, but I feel very strongly that he is not the answer to whatever the question is.

I don't think any of us could argue against there being interesting times ahead!

It was on quite a while ago, she sat there vilifying Weinstein yet her husband is just as bad. I like the fact that Trump has got the political elite and the MSM on the back foot. The world needs a massive political change, the current system is failing too many people.

As you're in Chicago, I will ask this.

Do you think his career is over? Also, what is the expected judicial punishment?
They’ve cancelled him from the show he was on (Empire), so yes, his career is already over.

Regards judicial punishment; filing a false police report is a Class 4 felony. Smollett could face prison time of one to three years if convicted and be forced to pay for the cost of the police investigation.

Thanks for attempting to bring things back on topic. Last I read Empire was sticking by him, didn't realise they'd binned him. Silly boy.

As for our hard of thinking interloper, please just ignore him, he's clearly trolling with the name change. Silly boy.

Do you think Trump is not all those things?

No but he has ruffled alot of feathers and has had alot of the msn running for him because he's an easy story which means easy money. Especially when you lean a certain way.

If anyone was scrutinised as closely as he has been it would bring things up. Unfortunately, even with nothing coming his way from the Mueller investigation it won't stop those with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I just hope he doesn't win in 2020 so all the whinging doesn't go on for an extra 4 years

Trump has the same level of scrutiny as any other Prez, but he never gave up his tax forms though, which bucks the trend.

He's spent the entirety of his presidency with an eye on the main chance; supplicants are block booking rooms in his hotels, deals to line the pockets of his daughter with the chinese, Kushner panhandling whoever he can arrange meetings with because he's a hopelessly st property developer, whatever the inducement is from the Saudis for him to look the other way over the murder of a journalist, the Moscow tower deal, the graft has never stopped. Each of these things are corrupt enough on their own, once measured against the emoluments act it will probably be easier to work out what if anything he's done that isn't a breach and count that as a mitigating factor.
