Wait. A decade ago? Really? And you don’t think if he broke the law something wouldn’t have happened by now?

Really?
There is far more public evidence of the accusations against Clinton than those made against Trump.
But let’s start with due process and presumption of innocence. Clinton is innocent until proven guilty. But there’s lots of public evidence

You just asked for sources that Trump got financing from Russia and/or that he wanted to build a property in Moscow. I gave that to you.
Do you have any sources that say he got rid of all his Russian connections before he began running for President?

He didn’t get campaign financing a decade ago.
Why should he have gotten rid of them?

Conflict of interests, perhaps?
And I take that as a no, you don’t have any sources saying that the Trump Organization got rid of their Russian and other non-US financial entanglements.

Trump is the president, not his organization.
Why is his decade old business dealings a conflict of interest?
Why should his company divest of its international business ventures? When did that become illegal?
I know for some, Trump is held to a different standard (Putin helped him steal the election), be that issue was put to rest in November 2016.
If he broke the law, the IRS would report it.
He hasn’t, and you or I seeing his tax returns doesn’t change that

There is very little that has been made public against Trump. We will have to wait for investigating authorities to conclude their work and report out. . The public accusations against Clinton are not from competent authorities but political enemies; while there may be more accusations, there is no evidence for what you asserted.

You are right, Trump is held to different standards. Unlike other candidates, his supporters are okay with him not publishing even the first page of his tax returns. They are okay with him not even putting his companies into a bind trust, much less selling them. They seem to think he is such a super person that he can hold down two full time jobs that require at least 40 hours+ for normal people and still spend weekends playing golf.
Different standards for different people.
BTW, please forgive me for not prostrating myself before the alter of the President. Haven’t done it for the past too many years, ain’t gonna start now. I have both simultaneously criticized and praised past presidents, have done both with Trump, and God willing, will do the same with several more.

That’s because there’s nothing there. It would have been leaked by now. There would have been a “deep throat” by now.
Far more than there is against Trump.
You’re right. It didn’t matter. Clinton released hers and that didn’t matter either. Why? Because tax returns don’t matter to an overwhelming majority of voters. See you can find out how many people accessed her tax returns online to see what was on it.
No more so than progressives did Obama. I certainly don’t. The whole reason I support the 2nd is because I don’t think there are any super people in government.

That’s because the investigation is ongoing and leaks have been few and far between.
We will just have to wait. But Comey’s book is slated to appear in mid April, so Mueller may very well be wrapped up by then.

That would be a blessing.
The wrap up phrase, not Comey’s book.
Why would I expect you to? I don’t. As I said, the reason I favor very limited central government, and a strong defense of individual rights is because people with power are by nature dangerous.
This is one of the reasons I find the current progressive call for gun”control “ so strange, as many of them also think Trump is such a fascist monster.
”Trump is a fascist. Let’s take the guns from citizens so Trump has all the guns.”
Makes no sense to me.

And the gun control advocates often have bodyguards.
It is ruling class elitism. Charlie Rangel expressed it best. After saying he didn’t think law abiding citizens in his district should carry, he was asked about his armed security, he said: “Well, that’s a little different. I think we deserve — I think we need to be protected down here,”
Elitist arrogance

We shall see. The Trump campaign is under Federal investigation. Robert Mueller already has Manefort nailed to the wall. Seems like it took more than tax audits to catch him.
Trump’s refusal to enforce the sanctions against Russia has no excuse. Trying to muddy the waters by throwing out baseless accusations about others in the hopes of distracting from this fact is a tacit admission that there is no defense for his failure to do his job as POTUS.
Trump is Putin’s lap dog. No doubt about that.

Manefort’s charges have nothing to do with the campaign.
He doesn’t need one.
The entire probe is baseless.
And that’s proven by…
NOTHING.
