      I think the main aim here is to make sure voters know, though aiming for a trial isn’t a bad move either.

        I dont think you are wrong in the ‘why’ of why they are doing this; also, if a crime has been committed, i’m good with this.

        However, “Trump Bad” as a campaign strategy is losing Democrats this election. If this is part of some longshot campaign approach, its idiotic. Trump led an insurrection against the United States of America. Maybe return to that. Bribing executives is peanuts.

          Being on the take is an important part of communicating what’s going on here — Trump is part of a revolutionary attack by the super-rich to make sure they can keep picking our pockets.

          SCOTUS can say that your constitutionally protected right to privacy doesn’t extend to your health. So yeah, they can say whatever they want now. They have destroyed any semblance of credibility they once had.
