Predictably...

now will the Republican Party cut bait and go with Nikki Haley?

The political theater ALONE is tiresome, detrimental, and distracting from what our politicians should be doing...

I can't think of a Senator, Congressperson, Governor, or Mayor where I'd need to see them serve 10 years. 

The 7-year itch rule applies... after getting screwed by the same person for 6-7 years you are usually ready for a little variety.

The Capitol riots resulted in serious injuries and deaths and behind the mobilisation was Donald Trump himself. The act looked like an attempted coup or a terror attack. He should have received a very lengthy sentence back then.

Not to beat a long dead horse, but staying "on target" in a political discussion is how you prevent repugnant garbage discussions.  You defined a parameter... stick to it.

And incidentally, ANY PRESIDENT you could think of could be charged with many varied crimes... and while they sometimes are... it's mostly by foreign interests (with some noteable exceptions.)

Cohen paid Stormy for signing an NDA, 130K. Trump paid back Cohen the 130K in 12 installments.

Then Trump who just paid his lawyer, ledgered it in accounting as legal fees. 12 Times.

Cohen had invoiced Trump to pay him legal fees 10 times.

12 plus 12 plus 10

34

Now compare that to Hillary paying legal fees to her lawyer for creating the Steele Dossier.



Yes, this is a political witch hunt.

Respectfully they didn't because they couldn't guarantee they could make it stick. 

Getting a conviction in New York was much easier but time will tell if it derails Trump's campaign. REALITY.
