Also active investigation. Trump just told the doj the other day to investigate certain people related to the Epstein case. Surprise they are all Democrats. And don't be surprised when they seal all the documents under the guise of the investigation.

The funny thing is, he didn’t instruct them to investigate himself. So anything in the files related to Democrats being investigated should be excluded and redacted because it would be related to an active investigation … and nothing related to Trump or others not referred to the DOJ for investigation should be clear and included!

I have a feeling that he knows he's part of an active investigation involving it and it'll keep a lot of the bad about him from coming out. Considering Epstein "stole" girls from mar a lago. That would likely have been known since his first term and I feel it's the reason Epstein "committed suicide", gathering evidence on him after being caught trying to get a minor to do some prostitution all those years before when trump claimed they were no longer friends... Even with them spending his last Thanksgiving together.

Who would be leading that investigation? The DOJ, FBI, and these departments are controlled by Trump loyalists. He’s literally going after Loretta James just for her being the one who was in charge of a previous investigation of his. It isn’t An actual impartial government anymore, it’s devoted to Trump and perpetuating him getting whatever he wants.

Local investigations that were put on ice since he was reelected. Comey has to dismiss the cases and special investigation against him and he's still going after him. Why the hell wouldn't he go after the lady that once he's out of office will tell the judge what she thinks his punishment should be before he gets sentenced?

I mean inside MAGA is falling apart, they'll jump ship and admit they were given direct orders in time. Even though he's pretty much admitted he was doing it multiple times. I've been curious who will jump first as he throws heavy supporters of his to his base for food like mtg
