Well, Ed- guess it is time for me to chime in on this mess, since your claim about the "Media holds no power" is possibly the dumbest thing you have ever said on this board. Seriously. Do you even believe that or are you just trying to troll us? Do you think that having the media write and speak 90+ % negative things about Trump had zero effect? Do you think that the media's unified stance to lie and claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was simply Russian disinformation was not power and had no effect on the election in 2020? Well,, my friend, I am here to tell you that the media holds enormous power, and that was proven by polls that showed between 12 and 17% of Joe Biden voters would likely have changed their vote had they known about the details on the laptop. Now that is POWER!
In the context I was referring they hold no power in that they hold no power to hold him accountable for any illegal or his illegal or immoral activity.
It was a perfect phone call, even with it recorded and Trump said, (paraphrasing ) we will be more than happy to help you but I need a favor THO. (Tho was not a paraphrase and it is a key word in the call). People would say there was no quid pro quo, then they listen to the call and then it became they didn't say the word quid pro quo. With Nixon the Republican party told him pack up and leave. Those are the people with power.
He holds people under his thumb, they will do gymnastics to explain away his behavior. Go read the violence against Jack Smith for doing his job. Name another time a prosector you know who was threatened for doing his job.. Hell the mob never even did that for fear of drawing even more attention.
Think of all the people who have gone to jail on his behalf. I am serious when I say he seems to draw from the Gambino Crime Family union Hall. Weisleberg, Rykers. Stone, Manafort, Bannon, Rick Gates, Flynn to name a few. Rudy? Can he practice law any longer? What about the deep sh!t Navarro, Eastman and Jeffrey Clark are in.
This reminds me of the time Gotti would get charged and beat the charges, because he did say kill he said "whacked". And the outrage when he was finally arrested is very similar to what is going to be seen on Tuesday and moving forward.
Stretch, I wouldnt troll you or the rest of the board. If I would, it would be much more clever than saying the press has no power holding Trump accountable.
Two questions for you...what do you believe is on the laptop that would hurt biden? And who has the laptop and didnt the house investigate this matter and "lose" the informant?
Second, what would Trump have to do and what would you need as proof to say "that is illegal, he should be investigated even by a Biden DOJ, and I have seen enough? Is there anything he could do? Let me give you a scenario...what if he had his war plans documents he held at his home copied by the Saudi's? What as a Trump supporter would make you say...I don't care what Biden or Clinton did, he should be held accountable if the facts support what he was being accused of?
