Maybe, maybe, maybe…
The company that publishes the Enquirer admitted in late 2018 that it helped broker "catch and kill" deals with Daniels and other women, in which it paid the women hush money for their stories, effectively silencing them ahead of the 2016 election. >

Which was a waste of money because his idiot voters wouldn’t have gave a shit either way. >

Not only would they not care, they'd turn these women into the top-searched pornstars of the year. 
That hush money is probably nothing in comparison to the business they lost. >

Well, right behind “chicks with dicks”. >

Yes! >

Ah yes, Individual 1. Never made sense how Michael Cohen went to jail for this scheme but Individual 1 walked away scot-free. >

Same reason Maxwell went to prison for sex trafficking but none of her clients did. >

Kind of, but there's a bit more to it than that.
With the hush money payments the main problem was that a corrupt Attorney General went to great lengths to shut down any investigation, and having prosecuted the main witness who might co-operate it becomes a bit tricky to use their testimony.
With Maxwell and Epstein, part of the problem was the non-prosecution agreement signed by then US Attorney and later Trump Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, which purported to give immunity from Federal prosecution to any of Epstein's co-conspirators pre-2008, in exchange for Epstein pleading guilty to some lesser charges.
But it is probably also a case of them being good at what they did, and not having proof or records of any of their clients. Without an actual client list, and someone to testify to its authenticity, there isn't much to go on. Especially not with sexual offences, which are already very difficult to prosecute. Throw in unknown and/or uncooperative victims (particularly those who were complicit in other crimes), a main witness (Maxwell) who even if cooperative is not likely to be much use before a jury, and it becomes very difficult to pursue any sort of charges. >

Know what happens to the normal folks?  Prison sentences.  Often life long.  And near instantly. >

Not as often as it should for sexual offenders, though.
Organised crime gangs (which I guess Epstein and Maxwell counted as) tend to be pretty good at staying out of trouble as well. >

David Pecker's vault has much more incriminating information on T**** than this.  "Catch and Kill" was standard operating procedure.  It also probably contains much of the dirt on others he uses to make them "bend the knee". >

Between whatever Russia wanted him to have, Peckers vault, Epsteins blackmail cache, and whatever he could get his goons strip out of the three letter agencies, there is a reason no one prosecutes him. >

Trump is closer to criminal charges like I am closer to being a billionaire. And I have 50 bucks in my savings account. >

Oooo look at you with your $50. Stop trying to stunt on us poors. >

You know, we were happy in those days, even though we were poor. >

Please hurry the fuck up >

This was yet another blatant crime that trump got away with for little to no reason. I just dont understand what is stopping these supposedly "independent" prosecutors from doing their job >

I mean, there's a grand jury examining evidence.  Clearly someone's doing their job now, at least. >

Well? We're waiting! >

Closer to almost starting the process of beginning the steps necessary to the creation of a launching point that could mark a new direction for the assembly and organization needed for the genesis of accountability often unrealized for former President Trump. >

A grand jury is examining evidence in the case.    That's a real thing that's happening. >

I didn't realize this probe was still ongoing. >

The distance is halved each time it seems like. >

Hamburgler will be dead before he’s incarcerated. >

Hush little baby….
Wasn’t Trump close to criminal charges 6 years ago? He gets closer by the day! Imagine how close he would be 10 years from now…. >

Nonsense.  This was restsrted once the statute of limitations expired or was near to expiring..
Conveniently. >

In calculus class I learned about the asymptote--a line that always gets closer to another line, but never touches it. >

He’s not. >

Don't care unless he's in cuffs. >


Don't care unless he's in cuffs.

Cared enough to comment, though, huh? >

Tell me when it happens; until then, stop speculating. >

This isn't speculation, this is a grand jury already impaneled and examining the evidence.  Whether it results in charges remains to be seen, but it would be weird if the news didn't report on each stage of the investigation and only popped out a surprise headline when a charge is filed.  
Personally I was under the impression the hush money investigation had fizzled out or had been dropped, so I'm encouraged by the news it's moving forward. >

How many years have we heard, and how many more are we gonna hear, Trump is about to get convicted...any day now? I stand by my original position from years ago that the oligarchy will never prosecute one of their own. >

Nobody believes this, right? >

So any year now? >

I don’t want to hear more stories about being “closer to criminal charges.”  We’ve been close to criminal charges for almost two years.  
If he hasn’t actually been charged, then IDGAF. >

they can slap all the charges on this fucker they want, I still doubt we’ll ever see the day he gets any consequences for what he’s done >

Always closer. Never quite there. >

K. At this point it’s not news unless he’s convicted and on his way to gen pop. Nearly a damn decade of investigations with this fucking guy. >

This is disgusting! If a Democrat had done one of what trump did  they'd been tried covicted and sentenced serving time, this is taking too long , trumps milking this all the way to the Whitehouse, then all his corruption will disappear. >


this is taking too long

By what measurement, and compared to what? >

Paint drying and grass growing. 2 activities with more drama than waiting for trump to go on trial for anything. Him and his can go fuck themselves. >

Kind of like how I'm closer to having sex with Selma Hayek because I was once a teenager by who wanted this but now I am a grown man so it is legal and the potential threat of being labeled a sex offender and prison time is no longer an issue for her. Granted  I don't know her, I am married, she is married, and we will never ever have sex...ever. But technically it is slightly more feasible. >

Trump is not getting arrested. Never. Elites of Washington don't leave their own behind. This is just an fluke engagement created to befool the common man while Washington Elites are cheering one another with steak and single malt. >

"closer to criminal charges" As if!
As if we hadn't been hearing that dog-do for years now! I'm not going to hold my breath.
Mankind is closer to eliminating all disease and achieving world peace. >

I would be so upset if he was shanked and died in prison. >

Not close enough, dammit! Lock this POS up. >

I’ve been hearing stuff like this for six years… the thrill is gone. >

Only 3 years away! >

"Closer" lol >

Bullshit >

omg you guys the walls are closing in >

Everyone says that someone is closer to …yada yada…just a ploy to keep you hoping. >

Trump will never see consequences >

They say the indictment clock is just 9 seconds away from midnight - the closest it has ever been. In 2020 it was just 17 seconds away. >

Until the phrasing is more akin to "he has been charged/sentenced" I am not interested in these articles. I've heard it too many times.
