What I witnessed though was well beyond just being annoyed. They were completely certain. Like a fanatical religious believer who is convinced only they know the truth. But it was all just fantasy, which I knew was untrue, as I had seen things live.

Interesting commentary on Trump's upcoming arrest, one I largely agree with, if the Democrats just left it alone he would whither away.

It's not a crime to pay off someone, rich and powerful people do it all the time. They will have to prove that this is related to campaign finance which doesn't even come under state law but federal law.

The person who should be investigated over campaign finance is Hilary and no doubt if the Republicans get back in they will go after her and so the carousel goes round and round.

One more point

No-one should be above the law. Indeed, those in high office need to be held to a higher standard than those who aren't.

It isn't our job to look at the charge and case objectively. Firstly, because we don't know what they are, but secondly because that's the job of a judge and jury.

Trump must be prosecuted wherever sufficient evidence to do exists. Not only because he deserves it, for his shameful behaviour, but as a warning to others that no-one can expect to escape.

So I don't buy the "political motivation" conspiracy theory. This is the law, slowly grinding its way towards justice.

If any other politician, Hilary included, has done anything deserving of prosecution, then let it happen. In truth there has already been ample opportunity to so, so the probability must be that there isn't the evidence.

The only thing that has ever been "deranged" in the sorry saga that is the Trump story, is the way that some still believe in him.

You can now add to that this idea that just because Trump managed to become POTUS that is enough to shield him from prosecution. If indeed he will be prosecuted. Something we just don't know yet. If it does come to a Court then he will have every chance to establish his innocence, something an innocent man would welcome.

Despite appearances and Republican bs, it being a political act makes no sense at all.

Such a prosecution hands attention and sympathy to Trump and politically is an own goal.

This is simply due process working its own slow way to a conclusion, whatever that may be.

His approach to how his department administer the law is a sideshow. It's still the law.

On the way this is portrayed by Trump and some Republicans it has a huge bearing. They are the ones playing the political cards.

In Court it will have no bearing at all.

It's not at all a waste of resources to have a huge team of investigators constantly trying to find something illegal about Trump.
If I were robbed in New York, or burgled, or my car stolen, I wouldn't at all be angry with the District Attorney or wider police administration for wasting time, resources and money on this.
I mean get stabbed by all means, get shot, but don't pay off some p*** star. The world's most heinous crime. Throw the book at him - although that's presumably cruel and unusual.
Whatever next? Unpaid parking fine from 1975 - someone get the CIA and FBI in to assist.
