He ran the first time to enhance his brand and he is running in 2020 to avoid prison.
You folks are so funny with the idea that he will go to prison.
Number one, he will never see the inside of a courtroom. Once he is gone in either 2020 or 2024, the Democrats will forget about him, just like the Republicans forgot about Hillary about 5 seconds after Trump won in 2016. Lots of fierce "we're going after her indictment" talk, but the minute the threat of her becoming POTUS was neutralized (by Trump's victory), she and all accusations against her became irrelevant. So they'll never go after him in an actual court.
Number two, if 20 months of partisan Democrat lawyers digging under every stone, blade of grass and the couch cushions couldn't nail him in the present, there isn't anything that will nail him in the future. They don't have anything to even cover a political prosecution, which means they have even less for an actual criminal prosecution where there are actual standards of evidence, due process, etc.
Trump is not going to jail. Not in 2020, not in 2025, not ever. Get used to the idea.
Russian meddling was known as early as 2015 under the Obama administration.
Nothing was done because Rice told them to "stand down".
Why no outrage then from the Dems ?
Obama did nothing about it because Obama thought Putin was his buddy and didn't think Russia was a threat.
"The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."
What happened today was pure political theater that was designed by the Democrats to hopefully move the move the legitimacy needle for impeachment in their direction. That attempt, btw, was futile.
Mueller provided nothing that was not already in the published report, other than a few opinions, lots of stuttering, and even more "cannot answer" answers.
No "truth" was "revealed" that wasn't already known. It was pure political theater meant to bolster the Dem's drive for impeachment. Period. The end.
Now, all they have is what they had before - Orange Man Bad, want to impeach because he's a big doo-doo head!
That's it.
That is an opinion that does not collate well with what we saw and heard today. Exposed evidence in the report that many did not read or understand until today is not theater.
The truth hurts but it is not time to hide from it.
Has this been charged, prosecuted and/or proven? Nope. Then it never occurred.
You should learn more about the process, really.
He can't be charged at this time as President. 2000 Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) memo that had concluded, "a sitting President is constitutionally immune from indictment and criminal prosecution."
