In reply to the discussion: Just a guess.Trumps recent tirade against Smith may be a sign he knows the hammer may come down soon [View all]FoxNewsSucks
(11,384 posts)have a long history of getting away with shit. A lot. Whether it's one, a combination, or all three of those qualifiers, accountability is often nowhere to be found. MF45 didn't just recently start committing crimes yet he has never faced meaningful consequence. In fact, the only real exception to that pattern that comes to mind is Bernie Madoff. And that's only because he stole from other rich people. Had he merely stolen from poor people, workers and everyday investors, he probably could have gotten away with it too.
Second, I've repeatedly stated in cases like prosecuting MF45 and his ilk, I'll believe it when the cell doors slam shut on them. And I damn well will celebrate justice being meted out to them. That has nothing to do with celebrating DoJ victories.
Third, MF45 is always bellowing, blubbering and whining. For years now, every time he was extra-cranky, there are those who race to proclaim THIS IS IT!!!!! TRUMP GOING DOWN!!!!!! HE GOT BAD NEWS!!!!!!! HE WON'T SURVIVE THIS!!!!!!! and then in a day or two, nothing having happened, go on to the next topic seemingly forgetting. Until, of course, the next extra-cranky tirade.
Fourth - every time someone posts here about any of the first three, a predictable few come along insisting that since we have no insider knowledge that we have no right to speculate. Actually, another pattern would be that these scolds seem oblivious to the fact that they ALSO have NO insider knowledge that would support the assumptions to which they insist we conform.
