They have investigated him before and only came up with stuff his son Hunter did. Turns out you have to commit crimes to get imprisoned.
Trump did. And if he gets imprisoned on July 11th, I guarantee you the American people will stand for it.

Many of us will cheer for it.
He already told Hillary to her face he was going to prosecute her and send her to prison. Then when he was in office he backed down immediately.
Let's not gloss over something important, Trump did try to get Hillary locked up. He had his justice department investigate her and the Clinton foundation both. They couldn't find evidence of crimes, so Hillary remains free.
Where Trump backed down was not going extra-judicial. But let's not let him off the hook, he tried, he's a despot.
He also hadn’t replaced the entire Justice department with MAGA lackeys like he did the Supreme Court and federal court system.
Heres a video of him saying “that plays great before the election. Now we don’t care”
Sorry for the Facebook link!
Yes, but he’s vindictive, and Hillary was more of an obstacle than a threat.
Trump appointed 226 judges in just his first term. The only President in history to have appointed more in one term was Carter with 262. The most appointed in two terms was Reagan with 383. Trump is well over half way there.
With increased likelihood of getting one of his appointed judges, and conservative control of SCOTUS, this is a viable threat.
”I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of America, Joe Biden, and go after the Biden crime family,” Trump said in June at his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence, just hours after being arraigned at a federal courthouse in Miami on charges related to his handling of classified documents after he left the White House.
But Trump credited himself for not going after Clinton, compared to what is now being done to him.
“Some people said I should have done it, but, you know, could have, would have been very easy to do it, but I thought it would be a terrible precedent for our country,” Trump said. “And now, whoever it may be, you’re going to have to view it very much differently. This is a bad, bad road that they’re leading us down to as a country."
There’s no realistic alternative to voting for Biden.
It’s either; make sure Trump loses, or watch the USA and the bulwark of democracy it represents around the world be destroyed.
(Edit: sorry for the rant)
I think most of the ‘low information voters’ (this actually means ‘low intelligence’ but people are afraid to say that) who think Trump is ‘as good or better than the other guy’ are utterly deluded. Their basic lack of intelligence and education has shown this to be the case anyway.
There is absolutely no excuse for voting for Trump unless you are utterly fucked in the head, or so cynical that you think you might make some Pugh money to survive once the US government implodes.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Disclaimer: I’m not American.
I fear too many people falsely believe that voting for Trump will somehow improve the economy for some reason. They believe that the freedoms we will lose and the marginalized groups that will suffer is just a fair trade in exchange for having a slightly easier time being gainfully employed. This won't be the case for anyone that's not a neurotypical straight white christian male but most of them won't realize this until it's too late.
But I never said lock her up
He said "Locker, up"
The thing I hate the most is that apparently we all have to just watch this slow-walk into fascism. We all watched him try to steal an election. We all saw him foment an insurrection. Everyone who has any sense knows full well what the kind of people he surrounds himself with are capable of, and what they want to do to so many people in this country if given a chance.
And yet: almost no one really addresses this head-on and speaks in very clear terms about what the stakes are. Instead, I hear total bullshit like #BidenSoOld and #gEnoCiDejOe <- Do the clowns that keep going on about that seriously not realize that a donnie "presidency" might result in all kinds of blood being spilled within our borders?
Yeah, that's what frustrates me. There are legitimate concerns around Biden as president. However, every single one of those concerns also applies to Trump, as well as a million more much worse concerns
Exactly. Biden's foreign policy - like just about every other politician, with very few exceptions - is going to be problematic on at least several key points. Anyone paying the least bit attention and not smitten by the "Washington consensus" already knows this.
But with Republicans in charge and donnie leading them - in addition to an even worse foreign policy, the domestic policy could be so much worse and this time around, there will be less guardrails, and no guarantee that we have any elections past 2024. It's clear donnie would rather it all burn down than he face even the least bit of consequences for anything he's done.
So, you know, it’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to, and it’s very possible that it’s going to have to happen to them,
Sooo... Biden is going to be found guilty of fraudulently mistepresenting the transactions that time he paid hush money to a porn star?
If this can happen to Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump, then it can happen to anybody who pays hush money to a porn star while running for president!!!
This is what I don't understand about establishment dems playing chicken with our Democracy, their neck is on the line too.
I really don't understand why they think making a show of being Republican Lite is ever going to start working. If someone wants a fascist they're just going to vote for a full-on fascist, not a half-fascist.
If we're gonna speak of possibles, its equally possible that fat orange oligarch wannabe will keel over dead before he can take any kind of political actions
You'd like to believe that, but Rupert Murdoch, that living incarnation of a bloody hemmorhoid, just got married at age 93.
Only the good die young.
