The Clintons have been constantly investigated by the best snoops in the world for 35 years , with no results that would lead to an indictment. What would you suggest they be investigated for this time?

Same as the last two - These are crimes that Trump was involved in. If you don't consider them crimes, would they also be considered acceptable if Trump's opponents committed them?

This applies to both the Left and the Right. Either vote everyone out of office because of their sketchy background or give it a rest.
I didn't focus on Trump. I merely posted an article from Forbes, which is hardly a radical left wing publication.

Would Trump's actions be acceptable if Biden had committed them? Yes or no. It's not a trick question.

Those of us who grew up in the New York metro area are very familiar with the actions of Donald Trump over the course of many years. For every good move he made in one area, perhaps a charitable donation, he'd make 10 moves backwards in his business dealings and personal life. In other words, he was a "real sleaze" most of the time.


If Biden's life had mirrored Trump's at even a 10% rate of both his good and bad deeds, he would have been thrown out of office ages ago.

Biden using his position to hold money to the Ukraine for his son, yeah I would say that’s worse.

There are a lot of people who have committed crimes and been acquitted when they should have been sent to prison, and we all know that. I personally thought O.J. Simpson was guilty as homemade sin, but the jury set him free. The question is, are these acts by Trump crimes, or are they in a class of their own? If you don't see them as crimes, would your opinion be the same if the name attached to the actions was anyone besides Trump - a member of the opposition, for instance?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybe...k#1f2673934f1b
which were the crimes, as purported in the article? then we can discuss.

I think I saw something about losing a case related to some 1986 stock sales.
