    Who's bypassing due process? Trump's owns word convict himself according to his own standards.

    If your testimony could exonerate yourself, why would you not testify? Since this isn't a witchhunt your statement is simply a deflection.

    Why would he change his mind? He's pure as snow. If it's all legit, he's got nothing to worry about.

    Well, Biden was opposed to abortion before he was for it. He was opposed to stacking the SC, before he started a committee to look into it. People can, and do, change their minds. But hell! Let's charge Trump with the crime of doing so. That's the ticket!

    Trump would therefore be part of the 0.0001% of innocent people who plead the 5th.

    Perhaps it doesn't exist with you. Don't be so self centered. If you can't argue maybe it's because you have a poor point. Blaming everybody else because you failed is not very mature.
    Perhaps you should question what you believe to be fact. Or maybe there is this vast conspiracy out to get you.

    When has ones testimony ever exonerated themself? If Trump says anything other than 'You got me! I did it!', folks like you will just assume he's lying anyway. He has zero incentive to cooperate. Pleading the 5th is the smart move.

    Really? Interesting. Do you agree with his statement saying only the mob uses the 5th and did you think at that point his beef should be with the Constitution or now when he's changed his position on the 5th or do you like playing on both sides of the net to serve your purpose like Trump.

    It’s such a sad pathetic ideology. I can see why they think everyone’s out to get them

    (shrug) I'll sleep like a baby knowing you can do nothing more than deflect and ignore. I don't believe pointing out your willingness to not accept when you have been proven wrong on a point is "petty". I accept your defeat.

    The only thing that has changed in Trump's mind is that he thought he was innocent. Now he knows he is guilty and invoked the 5th to save himself embarrassment.

    The common theme that runs through all of the Loser's various legal travails is desperate attempts to hide what is being relentlessly exposed.

    I only made a statement. I didn't present any point because I believe what I said makes it clear there is no point when the ones who take the opposite view don't have facts that can back their arguments. Your post is an example of what I'm talking about.
    Why should I question what I believe to be fact? I believe it was a free and fair election. If you don't, there is no proof to back your belief. I believe Covid and the restrictions put on the public were necessary. Science backs me up with that. The world backs me up on that.
    Given just these examples, if you belive my facts are wrong, maybe you should consider that you are the one believing in conspiracies.

    Of course I would think he's lying. His lies are well documented. If a truth came out of his mouth, it would be an exception.

    Kind of like investigating promising big illegal things over and over and over and over. The amount of money the left has spent to pin, something anything on him is crazy stupid. It's lead to the FBI losing all credibility, including embarrassing agents showing pure bias and an uncanny ability to taylor a wacko case to get wiretaps and everything else. It's lead to fbi agents getting fired, an FBI went to jail for falsifying evidence to obtain a wire and they got a couple of guys sentenced to lying to fbi agents about nothing to do with Russia. Now we've had a state attorney told to stand down by a judge for unlawfully trying to create another bogus case, now this civil case, another one in Manhattan by a DA that RAN ON FINDING A CRIME ON TRUMP. Now we're down to an FBI show raid over Presidential documents. I don't think the left understands the perception of this with nonpartisans, your making Trump a f'ing martyr, how dumb can your leaders be.

    Thats why he has no reason to bear witness against himself, and one reason why pleading the 5th is not indication of guilt. You think he's guilty no matter what he says ...so why say anything at all?

    well yeah I wouldn't think you would make any kind of point you just kind about how you fail to make points and blamed other people for being irrational because of your inability to do something.

    That's blaming others for your shortcomings and not taking your responsibility for them.
    to make sure and verify something is a fact without just having to believe it is.

    Evidences always better than faith.
    see this is why you should question your beliefs. If you just insisting don't really know it's not knowledge.
    I don't care how you justify your little beliefs it's not enough for me because I question.

    If science in fact really back you up you wouldn't have a hard time convincing people. I'm not starts this last conspiracy of people to try and deny reality and that's not very realistic and how is it?
    I'm not the one believing that an entire portion of people aren't brainwashed into believing something that can't possibly be true so I'm considered it I actually do that a lot. Quite a few people find themselves in predicaments where they believe something or somebody because of what they said or did. I'm wise enough to know that nobody is really immune to that. That's why I questioned my beliefs I want to make sure they're right. I don't need to insist on them or cope by saying highview point is popular and more people agree with me don't suffer from that existential angst. One individual person can be right while at the same time 7.5 million others are wrong.

    Truth isn't democracy.

    Maybe you should persuasion instead of just demanding everyone agree with you or if writing them off as conspiracy theorists. That is a rather common coping mechanism.

    Well, I am surprised. DJT actually listened to his lawyers for once.

    Ty Cobb, is now a regular contributor to CNN.

    He says Trump is the worst client he's had in his career.
