    Did read - don't agree - fact checked source - extreme right wing - suspected bias reaffirmed.

    Although you claim I post left - I do try to make it as near middle as humanly possible - and often post a right article on same subject to show balance ... just because you don't like the media is saying doesn't mean it's fake news.

    A quote coined by Trump to dismiss anything he didn't like - even if proven undoubtedly to be true - and only used by Trump supporters

    Or to quote Trump's personal lawyer - The truth isn't the truth - Huh?

    Fact ( def'n) - a thing that is known or proved to be true.

    Michael Avenatti, Daniels’ lawyer:
    “Remember when they were saying, during the 1980s, that John Gotti was the ‘The Teflon Don’ and was ‘untouchable’. That was always true, right up until the very moment it wasn’t …”

    Trump's in trouble, he's gone a little quiet since the convictions.

    Yes I do... Nothing about the"witch hunt" now... because it's not, and it's closing in.

    neutral and non-biased will do (as I've said to you before)

    Before anyone grizzles about how long Mueller is taking - remember the Nixon investigation took 26 months - and look how that turned out:

    Interesting article on "where to next" ... appears Trump can't be prosecuted while still in office, and impeachment would be required first

    I can't read that article as I've reached my limit of free articles. That happens to me on a number of newspapers.

    And an impeachment is unlikely to get anywhere, as I've said before, in relation to outcomes from the Mueller enquiry
    If he has committed a crime however, he could be charged when he leaves office.

    And as has been said, he probably can't be charged while in office, and an impeachment is unlikely to succeed.

    If one were to throw the book at him, one would have to be sure that it's not one of the books he's read. It would be far too light to cause any damage whatsoever.

    I suspect he hasn't read that. He would have gone off the rails on Twitter if he had.

    He hasn't said much
    Trump avoids mention of Cohen, Manafort at West Virginia rally

    Except the familiar "witch hunt" comment.

    There's been nothing on Twitter since the news came out.

    In which case he would get charged in 2024. Easy.

    This is a real danger, Trump knows he has to stay in office 2020 to avoid charges, he'll do whatever it takes, including corrupting the democratic process:

    Will Trump Ever Leave Office (Even If He Loses in 2020)?
