The Washington Post reported today:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Thursday emphatically rebuffed a House Republican demand for documents and testimony related to his office's investigation of former president Donald Trump, saying the request was "an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution."

a Reader Comment under the article:
* If Trump hadn't got it on with a porn star, then none of this would be happening.
If Trump had returned all the documents he had when subpoenaed, the documents case would not be happening.
If Trump didn't call Georgia election officials and ask them to "find" votes, the Georgia election case would not be happening.
If Trump didn't attempt to illegally overturn an election and spearhead an attack on the Capitol, the Jan 6 case would not be happening.
If Trump tried to stop the riot, the Jan 6 case would not be happening.
If Trump did accounting following the rules, NY cases against his business would not be happening.
Do you notice a trend here?

Can't traitor tot go away already?
"traitor tot."
I would never be able to come up with funny and ironic nicknames for people, in that manner.
Donald Trump himself is better at it than anyone.
So then some of his critics try to "fight fire with fire" and do it back to him and his allies.
Michael Cohen, a particularly energized former lawyer for Mr. Trump who now argues against him, came up with the name "Rudy Colludy" for former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. ("Colludy" is for collusion, I suppose.)
I would never think of that, either! - LOL. These guys are poets. Poets Of Sarcasm And Contempt.

Maybe Mr. Trump has writers who make up these names, or maybe he makes them all up himself, I don't know.
I thought, as I typed all this from Wikipedia, it's kind of funny but it wears thin fast. And I also thought how, before 2016 (or rather 2015, I guess) this would have been unthinkable coming from a president or presidential candidate.
