Trump Invokes The 5th At Tish James’ Office, But Wait What.….

Donald Trump attended New York Attorney General Letisha James’ Manhattan offices and did what any coward with something to hide would do under the circumstances, invoke the 5th.
Admittedly, invoking the 5th amendment right to remain silent is provided for in the US constitution. Additionally, it [does not] infer that the person invoking their 5th amendment right to remain silent is guilty of a crime, far from it.
The 5th amendment to the constitution was designed to protect the innocent from self-incrimination.

Nevertheless, some are more guilty than others and have more to hide. So taking the fifth for those individuals takes on a different meaning. I cannot open my mouth because I will be found out, caught like a fish on a hook, even though I repeatedly said only the guilty take the 5th..
While debating Hillary Clinton in 2016, Donald Trump declared that Clinton’s staff took the 5th because they were guilty.
He blasted the 5th amendment repeatedly, declaring that only the Mafia (Mob) takes the 5th. But don’t take it from me; hear it from the creep’s own trap.
Anyway!!! Democrats are hopelessly horrible at messaging. Lacking in grasping opportunities. Lacking in recognizing openings. Lacking in cohesion. Lacking in the ability to seize opportunities. Lacking in recognizing that the other party is playing chess while it plays checkers. Who will mobilize the masses of the American people who do not subscribe to Fascism? Most of the voters in 2020 voted for the Democrats, yet no one knows who or what the Democrats are. Even the Democratic president and Senators talk about the Democrats must do this, must do that. If they are not the Democrats, who is? Now, do you understand why the Republicans keep getting their way despite being a minority party?

On the other hand, the minority party sticks to their guns, figuratively and literally.
Remember when Barack Obama was demonized for saying they cling to Bibles and guns? No, how about when Hillary said they were deplorable?
No?
You really need to pay attention; politics affects every aspect of your life.
The Fascist Republicans invoked more than the 5th; they purchased most of the over 400 million guns in the hands of citizens of the United States and are now calling for civil war.
But what about law and order? Weren’t they supposed to be the law-and-order party? What happened? Oh, I see they are only for law and order when it pertains to everyone else, not to them.
Got it!
The Republican party and its Racist, Xenophobic, Islamaphobic, Homophobic, and Transphobic leaders and supporters all understand the mission; they act and speak as a monolith.
Every one of his supporters understands the assignment. They know that, like most of them, Donald Trump is an absolute dunce; nevertheless, he has the ability to mobilize the masses and win a general election. This effectively places white supremacy squarely in the white house, appropriately named, and in every federal agency, including the federal judiciary.

LOOK AT THE PROPAGANDIST LANGUAGE HE USES, LANGUAGE DESIGNED TO DELIBERATELY INCITE; ON THIS, HE IS A GENIUS.

After the FBI raid on his estate in Florida, here is what he said. I doubt seriously that he has the ability to put this statement together. Still, the bellicosity and the ability to use words to incite and propagate alternative facts seem like, at the very least, he dictated it.
I corrected some of the punctuation and highlighted the areas that I ask you to consider in red. I did not alter or change the text. He is a master manipulator, the likes of whom we have not seen in our lifetime. He is extremely dangerous to Democracy and the principles of Democracy that have guided the world order after the second world war ended in 1945.

HIS STATEMENT

These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.

The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more; it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!

Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E‑mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture and other items from the White House.

I stood up to America’s bureaucratic corruption. I restored power to the people and truly delivered for our Country like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories and see my dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop me and the Republican Party once more. The lawlessness, political persecution and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped.)

Might I remind you as you assimilate what he said and consider the highlighted parts of his statement that you process it against the background that Donald Trump broke a number of laws as president, from the emoluments clause to inciting a mob to attack and overthrow the constituted order of the United States to remain in power after he lost the 2020 presidential elections.
No president in our lifetime has come remotely close to being this lawless. The support that Senate, House, and other Republicans give to this really dangerous threat to American democracy highlights the grave danger of ever allowing this political party and Donald Trump political power ever again.
