Jean Carroll and Summer Zervos. 3. A fraud lawsuit filed by Trump niece Mary Trump. 4. A possible charge of incitement by the DC attorney general for Trump's role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. 5. Two investigations into Trump's attempts to pressure Georgia elected officials to overturn the state's election results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is still a prison and no one wants to be there. Jerry Baumchen Oh yes. (or maybe 'oh no'). Prison is prison. No control over one's own self. Very little dignity. Lots of noise and commotion. Its not a pleasant place. That's one of the reasons I'd love to see Trump in one. I've been in visting rooms in a couple different places (Max & min), and I was always very happy to be able to walk out. My comment about Danbury was a play on Michael J Fox's quote from the movie "American President". I did a quick search for a video of the scene, but came up empty.

I’m pretty sure that any large organisation that is subject to a detailed investigation will be found to have breached some rules. So unless there is something major I don’t think it matters that much. More interesting is how broke or rich Trump is and I hope that is cleared up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
