One hopes the Justice System holds him accountable

But the Fourth Estate is so important, the Founders thought them such a key part of a just society, they gave them special Rights.
So for Trump to repeated tell us he will testify, and then stay silent in court, and the response of the Press is "Oh that Trump!". Like he's a sit com character and not a threat to the country is beyond irresponsible.

Much outrage about him saying he didn't have sex with Monica. Oh they were personally offended that he would lie to them.

And later, much outrage over Al gore supposedly lying that he invented the internet. Of course, he didn't use the word "invent" and never took credit for anything other than his early support for the internet in congress. But that manufactured lie led to much media outrage.

Democrats aren't even allowed to lie once. We get roasted over the tiniest divergence for perfection. Meanwhile, Donnie is literally the most thoroughly documented liar in history, and the media still laps it up and begs for more.

The bias is obvious and pathetic.
