    That would be my guess. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

    I most definitely care about election interference and election result impact. Doesn't look that's coming. Campaign finance crimes eh... the entire campaign finance system is a problem and corrupt imo so special investigations for that don't do much for me. Not after all the hoopla of the last 2 years. But like I said, I seem to be the only one happy that Russians/Hackers didn't destroy our democracy. System is flawed but secure despite who won. That's the most important thing for me. If Mueller found/finds that then I'd call for a special election and/or speaker to take over until after new election. Very happy that it seems likely we won't have to deal with that. You?

    It would be good for the little guy to see someone like trump get treated like many others have been given the whole book treatment.

    I agree. For the sake of justice, he deserves jail time. I just don't have that much faith.

    Great article summarizing the sentencing documents by Natasha Bertrand of the Atlantic:

    Yeah that's the really sad part they like to claim that justice is blind not when it comes to the rich.

    You'd think the leader of the free world could order some intern flunkie to write a custom app for Twitter with an integrated spellchecker. Probably thousands of incel programmers living in their mom's basement would do it for him gratis, if he'd only ask.

    Typically republican view of law and order... didn't break the law, but even if he did, you can make it look like he broke any law and blow it out of proportion...

    Please, quit embarrassing yourself. Saying who gives a **** isn't establishing false equivalency.

    I'm shocked so many are hoping that our Democratic process was/is compromised.

    I think people are challenging your position, because it is quite dumb.

    Really, only analogies are sufficient here.

    "I am ignoring this person's murder charge, because I didn't care about this other person's parking ticket. They both broke the law."

    Its really just a laughable statement.

    So still no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. I guess Mueller has to find something so it looks like it will be in the category of "any crimes discovered during the investigation". If Trump actually did something he should answer for it.

    Actually, there has been plenty of evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

    Edwards was really a campaign finance violation because he used campaign donations to pay that woman off
