I have friends that support/ed Trump, they are good enough friends that we can mess with each other about opposing views and still remain friends. I recently started asking them to set aside the FOX news rhetorical positions and tell me what they really think. My query is about setting aside collusion, it's pretty clear that even if Russia was involved in tampering with the e******n the right says so what, it didn't affect the e******n so who cares?
So,
let's say (why are we saying that?) Trump has dirty hands on selling his condos as a means of money laundering.
Let's say the evidence clearly points to any combination of tax fraud (I know, how can you prove he intended to file fraudulent claims?), he could have made a mistake. How was he supposed to know that the reason condos were being purchased at inflated prices and sold at losses? (What evidence of tax fraud?)
So the question is, and be honest not rhetorically RW obtuse,
Admit that you have to know that Trump played loose with Russians and money laundering (How do I know and why would I admit what I don't know?). That said you don't care, you are damn glad Hillary wasn't elected because she was far worse. So if you can admit that common sense will tell you that Trump played loose with the law and knew he was working with Russians to launder money on a large scale, this honest admission leads us to other realities...(You're losing me fast
).
If he was guilty of money laundering, and Mueller has documents and evidence proving it, he deserves to go to jail. Nobody including the president can be allowed to get away with breaking the law.
Another big denial right now is whether Trump and his family members tried to make loans happen that might not have had Trump not been president. The right is giving Trump a free pass on deals, either loans, purchases of property at inflated rates, deals and permits on hotels, etc.
The question being, do you really think it is okay for Trump or family to use positions of government power to make countries feel like they should approve hotels and even provide the funding for them, is that okay? Answer that honestly and then look at whether that has been happening or not.
So far the right responds to anything and everything with the automatic answer that this is all f**e news made up by the left. Well, when the evidence is there, those involved with Trump start pleading guilty to their own charges of money laundering and long term involvements with Russia and Russian money, do you have the ability to see that when those around a person are involved it is very likely that the others in the circle are doing the same things.
The stage has been set very arduously to discount everything Mueller comes up with. You need to keep in mind that Trump was being investigated by the FBI long before he decided to run for e******n. Yes, we had an idea, and apparently the right didn't pay attention. If evidence is proven to show that Trump did anything that he can be charged with, he does not get a retroactive free pass for crimes.
More to the point, if he is impeached based on clear evidence, the right has no business objecting and trying to keep a criminal in office. Trump ran on the idea of cleaning the swamp, and any criminal needs to be removed including Trump. His lesser crimes than what Hillary did are no better.
