Every one of these criminals belongs in prison. Peter Navarro deserves this. I’m guessing Trump will be locked up early to mid next year.

Truly sad and scary times for America. And of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. Allowing Texas to round up anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant is so unAmerican, at least the America we were taught about in school. Of course we have a long long history of roudning up and lynching at will persons of color so we should not be surprised at the ok for Texas to again do this, but saddened and hopefully angered enough to worker harder to get Biden and other Democrats elected. How do the legal immigrants feel about Trump calling persons of their nationality animals , not even people. I am horrified and disgusted, but again we have a history of this, and in fact persons of color who were slaves were in fact basically counted at livestock for tax purposes. Let's all work a little harder than we thought we could to make sure American does better.

As far as I'm concerned as a former intelligence asset/analyst, I hope the White House refuses to allow those courtesy briefings. He's a positive security risk. And there's no telling who would be in line to benefit from those briefings.

NO-ONE with his debts could even hope to be granted a security clearance.

It just keeps getting more and more bizarre that people continue to support him, despite his issues. That takes some world class level of delusion there.

As for him getting money, every dime that comes to him should immediately be scrutinized for it's source. And the motive for the "donation" should be investigated as well. It's past time to crack this egg and not worry about where the yolk runs, of who it gets on.

Trump has already been convicted of the crime of rape!! Why can't the United States of America protect its most secret briefings from being given to Trump, a convicted criminal??

Based on everything that has happened since 2016, I believe that Trump and the GOP, with the help of Putin, may have committed some crimes to get him elected. Putin had everything to gain when Hilary Clinton did not become President. She would not have put up with his bullshit. It is just odd that she won the popular vote, but Trump somehow got to be President. Ever since then, he and the GOP seem to be sleeping with the enemy, as well as the major dictators of today. The numerous criminal acts that were committed with impunity tells me that he knows his way around the legal system to get away with just about anything. He is following in his hero's footsteps. I just don't understand why our justice system has allowed things to get this far out of control. The guy says at a rally that if he doesn't win the election there's going to be a bloodbath in this country, and no one seems alarmed enough to say you're disqualified. If the justice system has so many loopholes for someone with immense wealth, some laws need to change, and NOW!

If trump (not capitalized on purpose) were ever to be allowed to sit in on any White House briefing wouldn’t it be incredible if the gave him completely wrong information to see where it ends up?! Set up a sting operation! Then they’d have definitive “proof” of his traitorous actions and he could be held in solitary confinement for the rest of his life; in which case I’d hope he’d live to 200!

I still cant believe this is real life. 🤦‍♀️ People in our society are making this happen. Our friends, family, neighbors...they continue to support the unsupportable. What happened to them that they would doom us all?

A common theme among these criminals who once held a position in the White House or 45's campaigns is that they all express anger at having to suffer consequences for breaking the law. The idea of no one is above the law must be a very foreign concept to all of them. It's sickening.

Good grief! The security vulnerabilities that bringing a person like Paul Manafort into the Trump fold are daunting. Will Manafort's contacts be used as a back-door effort to sell national secrets in order to get money that Trump needs in light of his huge judgement against his business? Scary stuff to consider.

The immorality of Republicans with their continued silence and SCOTUS is painful to witness. I might not be alive to see it but I’m content knowing they will not prevail forever.

“ Yet another Trump insider has reported to prison. Meanwhile, a former Trump campaign chief who previously spent time behind bars may soon be helping the former president raise money for his current campaign. It’s another day of disbelief in Republican politics.”

Actually Mr. Rather, it’s a good day when criminals are held accountable. What was and continues to be disbelief are republicans willingness to defend the indefensible Trump. Also the Citizen Trump is actually the apparent republican presidential nominee. Actually not beyond belief, simply sickening.

Sounding more and more like the opposite, from the Big House to the White House.

He has no business receiving intelligence reports. He is a threat to our National Security!

Intelligence briefings!? I is beyond my comprehension how someone that is under indictment for sharing top secret information should be allowed any access to new intelligence.
