Rainbows I'm sorry you have nothing better to do than to go digging stuff up on a message board.

Violation of campaign finance laws is a crime.

Though, perjury is worse and that seemed to be ignored for a different Prez.

Talking precedence moreso than whatabouting.

Well, well, well.. This isn't very good news for the leader of the Trump Cult:

Meadows, other top Trump aides ordered to testify in Jan. 6 probe as judge rejects claims of executive privilege

A federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump's claims of executive privilege and has ordered Mark Meadows and other former top aides to testify before a federal grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the election leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

...In a sealed order last week, Judge Beryl Howell rejected Trump's claim of executive privilege for Meadows and a number of others, including Trump's former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, his former national security adviser Robert O'Brien, former top aide Stephen Miller, and former deputy chief of staff and social media director Dan Scavino, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Former Trump aides Nick Luna and John McEntee, along with former top DHS official Ken Cuccinelli
, were also included in the order, the sources said.

Pretty classic numbers play. Doesn't take all that much Law & Order watching to see the strategy here.

Its bad news. Not for Trump supporters. But for the country in general. Legally targeting political opponents is a horrible precedent to set

"Targeting"? The world had ringside seats to his illegal behavior. It's just investigating clearly committed crimes. Frankly, it should be criminally negligent not to investigate them.

I mean - this charge in particular is pretty weak. Not necessarily legally, but campaign finance violation... meh.

But the idea that we shouldn't charge someone with crimes because they're politicians, as a whole, is nuts.

Trump must be at peace having been indicted by a grand jury he thinks so much of:
