Trump must be the first president ever, anywhere to be persecuted by the government that he heads.
How about that for ineptitude?
what "massive " event if any is he citing. I know of none. he just makes it up as he goes along
And this is the yuugest most beautiful perjury.

Also too
Trump attorney did not want him to sign the financial disclosure. So they knew he was lying.
Weak
Sauce
Donny.
So weak.
The Obama campaign was late in reporting some donations. Fairly typical thing, no bad intent, Obama not involved, huge difference in the situations.
I read yesterday Trump was yelling at Giuliani that none of this would be happening if Giuliani had accepted the attorney general position instead of holding out for secretary of state. It’s clear enough why he gets zero personal loyalty.
There’s an interesting what-if scenario. It’s hard to imagine Goofy Giulani being the successful White Nationalist Warrior that little Jeffrey has been.
Jeffy is to blame
Trump cannot handle the truth
Head will explode now
I’m processing all of this incredible breaking news by haiku.
“He had a different attorney general,"
I forget, what president nominated and what Senate confirmed Sessions despite his perjured testimony?
It’s ALWAYS somebody else’s fault in TrumpLandia.
Because if Gouhliani was there he would have ignored it. He doesn’t seem to understand that not everyone commits crimes; to him you can only be caught or not caught. He doesn’t understand that good people don’t commit crimes. So if Obama was never charged that can only mean that he wasn’t investigated.
How can he say something so transparently stupid
If I didn’t know better I’d say he’s getting his legal advice from an idiot like Giuliani…
Oh wait…
Trump’s guide to life:
He would have got the support of the Tran community
We run into many of these moments when we need to be able to open a door and have Anderson Cooper come out and say “That’s the argument of a 5-year-old.”
I may have to steal that. For a friend…
Not a problem…just ask Jared what one does when one is caught omitting serious financial liabilities from the disclosure form – he’s a pro at it. Penalties are for losers!
i guess the “what if” defense plays well with the fox crowd…
Obama’s 2012 campaign made paperwork mistakes on 1800 out of millions of donations. Federal agencies that primarily enforce a reporting regime rather than an inspection regime (and most federal agencies, including the ones charged with public safety like the FAA and NSRC do that) take reporting violations seriously because they depend on fear of being caught by a post-disaster audit to make sure people do the work they’re supposed to do.
Trump, on the other hand, is named as ordering the making of an illegal corporate donation, i.e. a donation that was illegal, not a failure to report it. And that can get you up to five years if it involves more than 25K.
52 U.S.C. s. 30109(d)(1)(A)(i).
The number of people in the media who don’t get that this isn’t just some trivial paperwork violation is amazing me. Amanda Marcotte, for one, is (in her own words) Eeyoreing around about this because she, like Trump, has the impression that this is just some trivial reporting error subject to administrative sanction.
But it’s not. It’s an actual intentional and willful commission of a felony by doing a thing expressly forbidden.
And, more amazingly still, Trump’s new admission that it was his money that was paid to the women in question puts him in jeopardy of structuring and money laundering counts because he ran it through a front company, had the front company advance it and then structured the payments to conceal the payment.
