The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

My personal take on this is that this could be a great thing if there is really any true justice in America. If old arrogant ass Trump is guilty of a crime and they nail his ass for it, then if there is true non biased justice and no one is truly above the law, then this should set the precedent where we can expect approximately 93% to 95% of all politicians and lobbyists in Washington to be prosecuted and booted out of office. Since the American voting populace is too damn stupid to vote them all out, maybe now we can just convict them all of their daily crimes and be rid of their corrupt asses. Take down Trump and then start taking them all down one by one, could be a wonderful thing.

All that being said, anybody with an IQ above that of a English cucumber that is paying attention knows that this is a political hit job and nothing else. What could be great is just another huge **** up by politically motivated scumbags and just another embarrassment for the country. What a shat show the government and justice system of this nation has become.

It’s fair in the sense that this is the system we’ve all agreed to and the one that would be applied to any of us. A lot of the crying is disingenuous because most of the people crying are perfectly happy relying on the results of our system as it exists, until it applies to one of their political proxies.

It’s not fair in the sense that we’ve criminalized a lot of behavior with a lot of laws containing some really broad definitions and the grand jury process is just one side clearing a really low bar without any testing of their theory or evidence.

I guess we’ll see what New York judges do with it, but it seems like a weak case.

Jimmy Swaggart and Tammy Faye are jealous.

I'm shocked Trump has tried the "I can heal the sick" angle. His missing out on millions.

The key witness against him was allowed to testify anonymously, I've never heard of that being allowed.



Guilty verdict for pro-Trump troll who tried to trick voters out of casting Hillary Clinton ballots in 2016

Unbelievable, and we thought this kind of speech suppression only happened in places like Russia, N Korea, and China. Gonna be interesting when one party forces action against the other party for stuff said during campaigns. Maybe time to revisit Hiliarly, Steele, and the gang.

IMO this prosecution and conviction is a much bigger story and abuse of power than the indictment of Trump.

Can a sitting U.S. president face criminal charges?
Click to expand...

If a sitting president could be indicted, it opens the door to "political assassination" - a prosecutor anywhere could file suit. Could the president then conduct his duties while fighting charges, would the 25th Amendment be used to claim him incapable of serving? That would be an extremely dangerous precedent. Congress has the power to impeach if warranted, and the bar is set higher than a criminal prosecutor in Podunk, Wherever. Seems like the best course is leave the impeachment process in place and criminal prosecution for ex presidents when absolutely warranted, and this case isn't that. If it is, then it's definitely time to strip congress of its slush fund and let members of congress in on the new fun and games. Of course, the other part would appear to be can there be hush money without extortion; seems like extortion is illegal and a payoff not, so that could be really interesting. Why would you pay someone to be quiet if they didn't threaten you.

Actually it was Biden fundraising on “Curing Cancer” leading up to the 2020 election.

To be fair, Trump said the same. He just got way more scrutiny for it.

1 The grand jury would have never voted if Bragg hadn’t presented them the case, which he had previously declined twice to do until it got politically expedient. Just like he refused to drop the charges against the bodega worker.

2nd- IDK where you think you get off referring to me “as you folks“ You don’t know jack about me. I certainly have no love for Trump which can be divined from about 200 posts I’ve made in this forum. I take zero pleasure in Trump being indicted as a political stunt. I take zero pleasure in the idea of Trump using the spectacle of the trial to distract from all of the other sins he’s committed and gin up his base. I take zero pleasure in the media using this as a distraction from about 8 other things, most especially the IRS showing up at a Congressional witnesses home on the day of his testimony.

Anything else?

This is just opening the door for the Biden indictment. If you think that the republicans are going to just forget about this when they are in the whitehouse again, you better look out. I see a payback coming.

No wonder Kensucky is so mediocre. Assistant head coach just makes small talk and loud noises instead of actually coaching. Never change, Kensucky
