But if he would have made this a campaign expense he could have been prosecuted for that?
It's not really a concern of mine...
This is the first time a former president has been convicted of a felony. If it was an obvious or understandable crime....it would be clearly explained in a dozen or so articles.
It amounts to Trump not filling out paperwork correctly and nobody really cares except those who have been desperate for this day to come since 2016.
If you accept the low ball number....about 1/5th of his 2016 campaign was his own money. Hillary Clinton? 0$ of her own money. Campaign finance laws are for folks like her....where there are strict rules about how you can spend other people's money contributed to your campaign. If he just said "
I reallocated a million dollars of my own money to pay a prostitute to shut her trap"....would this even be a crime?
The real news that should be on everyone's mind is that....if you're on the left....your preferred news outlet has been lying to your face. The right wing media hasn't been selectively editing....they haven't been cherry picking footage....they've been pointing out that Biden's brain doesn't work for years. I used to think Robert Hur was exaggerating to cover for Biden....he said Biden's brain is so far gone that despite having plenty of evidence to convict, a jury isn't likely to because he's too incompetent to be held accountable.
Think about that....they're running a candidate too mentally impaired to be held accountable for crimes he definitely committed. He definitely took classified documents he wasn't allowed to take. He knew he took them, as they were important to him personally and his time as VP, and he wanted to share them with his biographer. He then shared these docs with his biographer (a man with no security clearance) which is something that the biographer admitted.
We can't hold him accountable....because his brain is mush. MSNBC, CNN, NYT, HuffPo, WaPo....all of these outlets have known his brain is mush for years now. For every 10 minutes of Biden footage they use, they have another 50-80 minutes they don't use. They've been covering for Biden for years. Afghanistan? Blame someone else. The border? Not his fault. Inflation? Not a problem if you're a multi millionaire. Human trafficking, terrorists, fentanyl? Don't worry about it. Homelessness? I suggest you get a Guatemalan passport, sneak across the border, ask for asylum, go to NYC or Chicago where you'll be given a check, a roof over your head, and 3 meals a day.
All that stuff nobody voted for like teaching children gender theory and which race is to blame for everything and which races are hopeless? Don't complain about it to your local public school or you risk a little visit from the feds.
This is what it looks like when there's no leadership and no accountability. They want Joe to win because then the party continues for 4 years...and people like this get appointed so everyone can pat themselves on the back.
This guy (I don't care what his pronouns are) got a top appointment because he checked a lot of gay boxes....and he also stole people's luggage from the airport because he's a kleptomaniac. Is he doing time for literal theft? No. Trump however, filled out a form wrong...and we're supposed to care. Does Biden know who Sam Brixton is? I doubt it. Did Biden appoint him? Only on paper. The vast majority of his appointments are box checking exercises and far left activists. I doubt he knows who he appointed to the SCOTUS.
This administration has done so poorly....that despite having the majority of the media covering for them and talking about UFOs every time a big mistake was made....Trump appears to be more likely to win the election. Trump.....who the media portrayed as something between a harbinger of WW3 and a white supremacist that's politically to the right of Hitler for the last 7 years....is quite literally getting record breaking support from demographic groups that Republicans historically weren't able to convince 1 in 10 voters to support them.
No president has had harsher criticism from the press than Trump. No president has had more support from the press than Biden. The one upside to this whole debacle is the fact that the public isn't simply believing the mainstream news anymore. The "threat to democracy" exists....but it's not who the press claims. It's the unholy union of big tech, big pharma, big banks, big media and the Democratic Party. I typically don't care who wins an election....but the best thing that could possibly happen is Trump winning in November, clearing the DOJ, DHS, FBI, and multiple parts of the CIA. He should replace them with people loyal to the job, and go after every bureaucrat and official he can find any dirt on....
No waiting till they're up for reelection....just move ASAP on everyone dirty. This corruption needs to stop.
