The Trump strategy to get away with crimes

Commit so many infractions that you overwhelm the system. Clog it by filling frivolous appeals.

Go from one scandal to another one by constantly spewing bullshit to keep the media off balance.

The poor DOJ and 1/6 committee keep having to issue more subpoena, talk to more witnesses because Trump and his crew raised the bar to a level that is order of magnitudes worse than Watergate.

Hopefully this will run to an end eventually and Trump will be caught. This strategy has worked all his life so far.

36. My hope is that TFG gets a disease which totally incapacitates him.

I want him to be mentally acute, but unable to speak or move any part of his body. I want him on a ventilator for the rest of his life, being fed through a tube, and unable to get anyone to change the channel the television, which is locked on MSNBC.

Oh, and I want him to be incapable of wiping his own ass.

Then I want him to have the distinction of being the former president who has lived the longest -- maybe to 101 years old.

Is that too much to ask?

6. As if the crimes weren't bad enough, he's tearing the country into pieces

24. No...I don't give his fans that as an out.

Trump is a carnival barking narcissist of the highest order. He is nothing more than an evil W.C. Fields but more clownish and thus more evil.

People who openly support Trump's racist and authoritarian bullshit are 100% to blame for their own actions. I am not going to wait until after the war to call them out as the same people who will gleefully burn down the nation only to try to bury their uniforms and pretend later they were duped or coerced. Nuh-uh...no sale!

Trump is being himself, self-absorbed, moronic and boorish. So too are his loyal peons. They are the one's tearing apart the country because they want to say someone told them it is OK to be open and free bigots and fools.

10. Why it was SO important to get him EARLY. Aides

literally started getting their resumes ready over Comey, anticipating FG's demise. His approval was at it's lowest at end of 2017. When we just blew off impeachment. Brilliant articles presented on 11-15-2017 by Steve Cohen D-TN.

15. What's stopping authorities from focusing on one crime and prosecuting the hell out of it?

16. Good question. What do you think the most slam dunk

Crimes are?

20. His latest crime, violation of the Presidential Records Act, would be a good place to start.

And Fulton County's special grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia would be another.

19. Seriously - does anyone TRULY believe the SlobFather has a STRATEGY about ANYTHING?

I for one doubt he's capable of developing one.

23. To get to Trump we need to do what DOJ did for Watergate,

create a special grand jury. You can't start at the top to convict the top.

Let's look at Mark Meadows, the select committee sent a criminal referral 54 days ago. We have evidence in writing implicating Meadows in the plot to overthrow the election. Bring him before a grand jury, no excuses for executive privilege like we are going through now trying to get a conviction for contempt of Congress.

Let's look at Jeffrey Clark and John Eastman, they go before the select committee and plead the 5th 100 times. Bring them both before a grand jury, stop wasting time with this executive privilege bs. We have documents that Eastman wrote on overturning the election. Clarke wanted DOJ to send out bogus notices of election fraud.

The Watergate grand jury indicted numerous Nixon aides and cabinet members and named Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator only because he was a sitting president.

Executive privilege does not apply when used to hide crimes.

29. Why can't he be indicted for Stormy Daniels campaign finance matter? It's a start.

31. Time for a new legal strategy?

The concept of "omnibus" (as in bills) is accepted practice in lawmaking/legislation.

Given that, why not omnibus lawsuit?

Wrap the entire shit-show up in a massive, single federal suit and file it in DC.

Too much dicking around otherwise, and the OP is spot on.

The dems' strategy for taking down Trump: Throw anything that could even remotely be construed as an offense at Trump, hoping something sticks, and creating the indelible impression of guilt in everyone's minds.

Seriously? Commit all the crimes so as to overwhelm the system?  Reminds me of that Simpsons episode in which a doctor explains to Mr. Burns that he can't get sick, because the diseases can't fit in.

It worked with Russiagate. He committed so many crimes that they couldn't find any.

That's why Mueller looked so confused when testifying.

Trump has been out of office for over a year, yet he's still what all the dummies are obsessing over. Hate and rage are their top two emotions.
