    Well I never said he was the only one that does it. He is one of many that are part of the social elite who rip off blue collar workers because he can...

    Because of his father’s comments! That’s what makes this funny.

    Because he's a politician. If you are going to be a public servant, I ought to know about people he has ripped off.

    ~ In that case you have a very long list of politicians to learn about. Insider trading would be a good place to start . :blushes:

    So why can’t anyone answer my question as to why this man even was called in? He didn’t even work for this administration outside of the campaign and cheering on the sidelines.

    You're blaming me for you giving faulty feedback.

    But that's what you do every single time we interact. It would be strange if you were honest

    Other politicians aren't on my ballot. Trump is. How can you drain the swamp when you are part of it?

    ~ The same reason Trump campaign was "investigated " for a conspiracy based on false information - bully tactics to intimidate and discourage the unwanted candidate. It's why Muller used a SWAT team to serve arrest warrants on non violent suspects who previously volunteered to surrender.
    "We the people" actually do not have a government - the government has us .

    ~ Trump is the only politician on your ballot ?
    OK ... :confuse:

    Advice. And not just if you're guilty as General Flynn proved, in today's politically charged justice system innocent people can be persecuted just for their political beliefs.

    Yes they are but I would actually say to everyone if under investigation keep repeating the phrase "I am innocent and I want my lawyer, I will be happy to talk you once they're here". If you say nothing at all that is extremely suspicious.

    agree with you but.....

    is that what the cops say, or do cops not even ask other cops out of respect

    if cops were your friends, they would do the same for you

    You can't communicate with regards to your argument that's why you do this or something like this every single time you and I enter into the discussion I wonder how many other people you do it with.

    I love how the temporary inability to read props up just when you're getting called out.
    I'm sorry I only speak English.

    It is the Trump organization that is being investigated, not related to the Trump administration while president. I'm pretty sure Trump Jr. is an integral part of Trump organization (business). In fact, much or all of what they are investigating happened before Trump Sr. ran for president.

    The police are your friends but they must separate the wolves from the sheep. Most of the big screw ups and miscarriages of justice over the years is because there is political/press/public pressure on an investigation.

    Remember; "I am innocent, I want my lawyer and I'll talk to you then".

    if cops were your friend, they would stop bad cops from being bad to people, and treat the bad cop like any other criminal

    I would refine that a bit. Carry a lawyer's card on you. If asked a question, just hand them your ID and that card. Saying just one slurred word with alcohol on your breath gives the officer two facts he wouldn't otherwise have.
