[@beckydoesit9331]

10 million is hardly enough to be considered "dark money". Ten million? Who cares? Ten million is nothing to Trump. Love how MSNDC doesn't mention anyone else on the other side of the aisle like Bob Melendez, Democrat out of NJ, 2:41, but all they care about is a measly 10 million from some weird deal with Egypt that Trump was allegedly in on. Again, who cares? Come back when it's 10 billion. And in the meantime how about some reporting on Bob Menendez? Wake Up, MSNDC!

[@SianaGearz]

Because most crimes of this type are not actually that important and would just keep the judicial system occupied with no pay-off, after all it's usually inconsequential and the amounts involved are usually 3 orders of magnitude lower. And that if it was important, which in this case it should have been, the prosecution should have moved with some pace on that, they certainly had all opportunity. The fundamental problem here is not the statute of limitations, but prosecution being corrupt.

It is total BS that the statute of limitations has run out on campaign Finance. How do you launder 200 lb of $100 bills, 10 million without involving organized crime?

[@SuddenReal]

That's the beauty of Trump's system. He just SAYS how much money he has, but offers no proof of actually having that much money. Which means, people just assume he has that much money. If you don't believe me, remember that people (including courts) have been trying to get an accurate estimate of his net worth for ages, but haven't been able to, because it's always been inflated by all sorts of real estate tricks. All of his worth is only on paper, so that ten million comes from that. It's basically the opposite of money laundering. While dirty money is cash you have but isn't on the books, Trump's money is on the books but he doesn't have the cash.

[@thetabest]

That is organized crime

[@franklinchinquee8762]

This just goes against accepted common law doctrines. Statute of limitation should only begin when the crime is discovered, enough time to marshall the evidence. If it was surreptitiously thrown out due to bias & criminality, the clock stops until a resurrection of the case. This bogus miscarriage of justice allows the 1% & monied to escape criminality.

Why would the statue of limitation still apply here after an active effort was made to cover this up and prevent the investigation on behalf of the defendant. Also, if the citizens are the victims of this crime and we are just now hearing about it, shouldn’t it matter when we actually discovered the crime had been committed. What role may things such as equitable tolling or discovery play in determining when charges can no longer be filed against somebody. Statute of limitations should be completely different when the crime was committed by politicians or cops. The people who create or enforce the laws have increased ability to evade detection or punishment for breaking those laws. They really need a law on the books pausing the statute of limitation from starting until after a politician leaves office. Can’t we just put this crooked sociopath in prison so we can end this terribly embarrassing chapter of American history?

Please stop with TFG. You can’t paint everyone in our government as corrupt. If they were, we wouldn’t know about this stuff. Call out the corrupt people by name. Not TFG! There are many honorable people working for us. They simply aren’t the people with the power. We need to dump the Democrats and Republicans and elect mostly independent politicians who pledge to be honest. Then immediately remove them if they lie or cheat and prosecute any criminal activity no matter who it is.
