Charge Trump with crimes? What about the Bush's?

[Raynine]

Donald Trump has been charged with crimes against the state. That's interesting because there is no evidence that Trump committed any crimes other than getting elected president in 2016. But history shows the George HW Bush dispatched an emissary to Iraq in 1988 and essentially caused not just the Gulf War but laid the groundwork for the Arab spring that followed. Bush was not charged with any crimes against the state. In fact, his son, George W. Bush invaded Iraq as a pretense to punish Saddam Hussein by falsley claiming Hussein had Weapons of mass destruction and implying that Hussein was behind the attack of the World Trade Center which Hussein had no connection with.

In 1988 Bush the elder sent April Glaspie, ambassador to Iraq, to meet with Sadam Hussein during a dispute betwee Iraq and Kuwait over oil side-drilling. Gaspie told Hussein that the US has no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts which was interpreted by Hussein as a green light to invade Kuwait which he promptly did. Many deaths occurred because of that incident yet Bush was not charged with anything. You don't have to be genius to figure out that both Bush's played a significant role in causing the Arab attack on New York in 2001.

But Trump is universily hated for making locker room statements about women and becoming rich for putting up buildings in New York. No one died because Trump talked bad about women or built a building but plenty died because of the Bush's.

No need to worry about history; nothing to see here folks, move along.

You see why I have a problem with that?

WikiLeaks, April Glaspie, and Saddam Hussein

I'm generally not inclined to take issue with my FP colleagues, but David Kenner's recent posting on the WikiLeaks release of a cable recounting Saddam…

No evidence? Yet strangely he was convicted of 34 felonies.

But sure...charge Bush too if you want.

Retard it's not a crime to win elections and evidence of Trump's crimes were reviewed by grand juries who handed down indictment reccomendations.

When Trump refused to return classified and top secret government documents, and brazenly obstructed investigation of it, he OBVIOUSLY commited crimes.

You mean except for the evidence presented to grand juries on which they based their recommendations for indictments?

Can you name a law that forbids a POTUS from conducting foreign policy as they see fit?

What law did HW Bush violate?

And btw, Trump first impeachment was about him extorting Ukrainian president for a public investigation of Biden and even such corrupt conduct of foreign policy didn't result in criminal charges.

I have no doubt that every president since, and including Reagan, could have easily been charged with crimes if we did not give our leaders a free pass

It is about belief. We all know that power is the emasculation of others. All sides have them. Law Enforcement, Judges and employees associated with them, clerk of county court and so on. If you have had your rights abused, you have a point. Scripture says thou shalt not kill. It is thou shalt not murder. You can kill those who abuse you. murder is different. Also Sins of the father means you can kill their families also. Of course, if you try to do that, you may end of dead or in jail for the rest of your life. If amends are made than people can move on. Otherwise, it festers over years, decades, centuries, millennium and longer. We here of colonizers and stolen lands from Progs all the time. Of course, if the progs who spew it have DNA in them from the accuse colonizers they go in a different direction. Technically, colonizers are in Central and South America and the Islands in the Western Hemisphere. The Unted States of course gets the colonizer treatment.

The Bush's were "government swamp presidents" just like Clinton and Obama, Trump is not. That's what he is really being charged with.
