Bringing up Nazis is completely irrelevant and imo belies the weakness of your protestations.
The point is that the #RESISTANCE isn't just a few lunatics on Twitter. It's a huge group of butthurt Hillary Clinton supporters who haven't accepted the election results, the very thing she warned was VERY DANGEROUS to the Republic and which she now indulges in 24/7 and at commencement addresses.

I've detailed here and in person with you dozens of such instances, certainly involving money laundering. Even Seacrest has accepted that. Mueller detailed 10 instances of clear obstruction of justice. Even honest republicans acknowledge that.
You have no idea about money laundering. You're making an assumption because of the size and nature of his business concerns. I would guess you may be right. But the point is these crimes were NEVER raised until he won an election. So obviously this isn't about money laundering at all. It's about negating the will of the people. (And making sure that there will never again be a president coming from outside the traditional "farm system", i.e. career politicians, NOT businessmen).

I and countless others correctly anticipated that the WH would turn into a giant cash register for many around him. (See: Kushner's loans, his & Ivanka reported income of $82-86M last year(?!?), loans, patents, etc., trump's unacounted for $50MM from the Inaugural slush fund, $100MM in golf fees at trump owned clubs where people are paying for connections, trump DC & untold millions paid there for obvious attempts at influence,Tom Price, Elaine Chao, etc..) The parade/protests were inevitable against arguably one of the worst, most divisive actors in American political history. Even when you were running around ridiculously saying the guy WASN'T A POLITICIAN. And wanting "fairness" for him, but never a care for the thousands he defrauded and hurt.
And you were wrong. The presidency has harmed his business rather than helped it. Anyway, this is a phony concern. People like Obama and Clinton never had a job earning more than $200,000 a year in their lives yet here they are, multi-millionaires. You never once worried about them using the presidency to "enrich themselves".

Face it, the guy is an obvious malignant narcissist, a crappy businessman, draft dodger, a known grifter/liar, amoral and as bigoted if not just as racist as the bulk of his early supporters. And he's been a bigger embarrassment as president. This was known to you & I when he first announced his run. And yet you persist with conflating #resistance to only sour grapes over Hillary. Silly.
I agree with some of those characterizations. The draft dodger stuff is silly. Three of the last four presidents have been "draft dodgers" and the other two in ways far more underhanded than Trump. Whatever, I'm sure you're not suddenly pro-Vietnam War just because Donald Trump managed to get out of going to it. It's just disingenuous. Ali was a hero for dodging the draft. Trump is a "piece of shit" for same. Just stop. And I don't think he's been an embarrassment as president, unless you find a roaring economy and minimal unemployment "embarrassing".

I won't even engage in the "fair" election, as I don't believe the word has any residual meaning. Especially where trump and his russian patrons are involved.
Now this again. The Mueller report is everything. Until it isn't. Just silly.

And you have to remember I've been wrongly identified as a criminal defendant in open court twice, twice had a cop pull a gun on me after walking/driving while Black so the fantasized sans evidence by law enforcement part is more than covered in my past. So your warnings about the trump standard being applied has no real world meaning when they've already become common official pattern and practice. Which I've never heard you talk about as vociferously.
Which is exactly why I am so flummoxed by your sudden faith and trust in law enforcement.
