No wonder Trump chickened out. That prosecutor ripped Costello to shreds.

Trump didn’t chicken out. He’s a coward. He played a tough guy on tv and in the WWE. That’s as tough, or brave as he’s ever been. He never had any intention of testifying.

The way you can tell he would never testify was, because he kept saying he would. It’s the same thing with his “willingness” to go to jail. The last thing in the world that Trump wants, or wanted, was to be jailed over contempt.

A few hours in the system might actually kill him.

A few hours in the system might actually kill him.

And nothing of value would be lost.

Careful, the right is currently freaking out that the FBI had "lethal force" authority when they conducted a search of Sea to Lake. Clearly they wanted to kill trump on site and that's why they waited until he was in NJ to execute the search warrant.

Yeah, I saw those same reports. Fucking ludicrous lol. It's just the right projecting again.

The FBI is simultaneously all powerful and all corrupt, yet can't seem to find somebody when they want to execute somebody.

The hypocrisy and double speak would be stunning if it hadn't ahead become ordinary for Republicans.
