I just hope that if Trump goes to jail, someone in the prison administration pairs him up with Michael Avenatti as his cell bunkmate. That will be TRUE justice.
Another one to add to the list of investigations, this time involving the Truth Social SPAC:
"In April 2021, Trump’s representatives had a videoconference with Patrick Orlando, Digital World’s chief executive. A month later, Digital World advised the federal government in securities filings that it had *not* identified or had discussions with any potential merger targets."
"In October, Trump Media & Technology Group merged with Digital World, which provided $293 million in funding it raised in its IPO on September 8, 2021, mostly from big investors who pitched in as much as $30 million apiece. The series of events drew the attention of the SEC, which opened an investigation in December 2021, presumably out of a concern that Trump and Digital World might have secretly planned the merger before going public and failed to disclose their communications to the SEC. According to reporting by the New York Times, the average time for public blank check companies to find a target to merge with and complete a deal is 17 months. Digital World did it within a month of going public. The SEC probe has delayed the Trump Media-Digital World merger indefinitely."
...
"In June 2022, it was revealed that a federal grand jury—which issued subpoenas to Digital World board members—is also involved. Last week, the Guardian reported that federal prosecutors have expanded their criminal investigation to examine two loans totaling $8 million that were wired to Trump Media through the Caribbean from entities connected to an ally of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin."
...
"Will Wilkerson, a former Trump Media executive who was fired from his post, reportedly filed a whistleblower complaint with the SEC alleging that the Trump Media-Digital World merger was rife with 'fraudulent misrepresentations . . . in violation of federal securities laws.' Also according to Wilkerson, in the spring of 2022, Trump Media’s then-chief financial officer, Phillip Juhan, considered returning the $8 million cash infusion but decided not to because, with only $12 million total in its accounts at the time, the company was already financially vulnerable."[1]
I'm trying to think of a financial crime that DWAC/Truth Social hasn't already marked down on their Bingo card.

First things first. I'm so glad your medical outlook is positive and wish you the best.
I know you believe Donald Trump has committed criminal actions. It would not surprise me if that turned out to be true. I believe the same about 75% of those engaged in politics. I cannot think of a single crime the evil doers might have committed that can be prosecuted with much hope of conviction. My opinion is that Joe Biden and his cronies are guilty of more serious crimes than the Trump crowd but they could never be convicted in the venues where the trials would take place. Biased DOJ officials and local DAs have a real advantage in selecting the venue, mainly DC and other large, democrat controlled urban areas.

What are your thoughts on Barry Loudermilk and his committee to investigate the Jan 6 committee?
Be nice if you were as interested in the Biden's Empire of malfeasance. But, no - you lefties are always oblivious to the truth. Shame.
