I don't care who any of you voted for. And since I don't have any influence over Mueller or Barr, all I want to know is what to expect from the next round of probes.

I make those sorts of decisions on a daily basis, though obviously not of this scale or political importance.
It's really quite simple. Ethically, my job is to prosecute only if I believe there is probable cause to support the assertion that a crime took place. I personally add a "can I realistically prove it?" threshold to that. I write a memo either way. If I decline to prosecute, I explain my reasoning for doing so - lack of evidence, lack of confidence in a favorable outcome (i.e. the evidence meets technical requirements, but facts signal a low probability of success), potentially successful defenses, suppression issues, not in the public interest, etc.
What I do not get to do is punt and say "I'm not saying he's guilty, but I'm also not saying he's innocent" and make no decision. I either prosecute if the evidence supports it or I don't. I'm not here to exonerate. I'm here to make an appropriate prosecution decision.

None of those companies ever filed for bankruptcy. All of those companies are publicly owned and the stock is traded on some recognized and regulated exchange. None of Trump's companies were ever listed on any stock exchange, all privately owned.
Trump doesn't want his taxes released because everyone would see what a fraud he actually is. His net worth is probably pretty small when you look at what he owns and what the banks own. We'll all know soon enough what Trump's finances look like when the banks and the IRS turn over their records.
I have a feeling that Trump supporters won't care tho. All in a days work deceiving the public. More fuel for CNN and the dems to roast Trump with.

or simply scroll up 5 posts to see the explanation of this seemingly odd behavior by conservatives, expressed quite succinctly by Bart Carter. Hell, I don't much like the guy and only begrudgingly "trust" him. The man reportedly spent Christmas at Soros' home a few years back.
