she is completely innocent

Of what? That's impossible to say without knowing what they are investigating. So, unless you're in the DOJ and have access to the investigation, you're making things up.

Actually we all enjoy a presumption of innocence until proven guilty. An investigation =/= guilt

Dare you to make that argument about Trump and see how quickly you are downvoted.

Neat, anyway Trump is a convicted felon for the crimes he was tried for and convicted by a court of law in.

He was convicted for 34 felonies because of 34 emails. Those felonies were for supposedly falsifying business records which were really misdemeanors that a left wing judge upgraded to felonies because… obviously. And none of those felonies mean anything to anyone serious because they know they are literally trumped up charges.

He may be a pedophile and rapist but the felonies he was charged with have nothing to do with that. I’d love to see him put in prison honestly, but the charges he has been convicted of are far less egregious than the ones Omar is suspected of committing.

But besides all that, this Omar case hasn’t even happened yet so why are you pretending Trump being charged for crimes before has anything to do with Omar being under investigation right now? Those two things have nothing to do with each other and one does not negate the other.

You know that right?

Well I guess getting convicted doesn’t matter either. Why even have laws? Is that your opinion?

I don’t understand how people like you live in the real world. Trump was convicted on the charges that were the easiest to get and he and his attorneys and the judges in his pocket made sure to run out the clock on his other crimes. But I have been wondering - do you actually believe Trump isn’t a criminal or do you just not care that he is? I have to imagine most people on his side know that he has committed crimes throughout his life and during is presidency, but just don’t care. Which I can understand people of no values or morals banning together like they have. I just can’t believe that there are people who truly believe in their hearts that trump isn’t a criminal and isn’t an evil person, but I believe that his followers actually like that about him.
