The Trump Crime Family is making the Sicilian Mafia look like amateurs.

This crook had better hope to be dead by the time his term ends. Imagine a Dem administration and a DOJ going after the former POTUS and his crime family, getting back hundreds of millions in fines and disgorgement of profits. No way a SCOTUS will stand by with a 'get out of jail free' card for such brazen criminality, which clearly was NOT part of the president's normal duties while in office. Time will prove that the criminal acts are not shielded...

What a terrific platform for POTUS candidate AOC and her running mate USMC General James Mattis (Ret) in 2028.

"We will go after every single criminal from the previous junta and recoup the lost billions of dollars they pillaged from the US economy, completely dismantle DHS and ICE-- first by Executive Order on 20 Jan 2029 -- then by legislative action, stop all murderous aid to genocidal Israel, and introduce a plan to bring universal healthcare to all Americans, as enjoyed by our neighbors in Mexico and Canada."
