The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

[rekinhavoc]

I like it but a POTUS can't pardon state convictions, only federal ones.

Use an executive order . Hell Biden does it for everything.

Live updates: Judge gives Trump 'unconditional discharge' to respect presidency

Get updates on the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump in his criminal hush money case in New York.

So Trump committed 34 felonies in order to steal a Presidential election, but it wasn't even worth probation? Anyone that claims to take this seriously is lying to your face.

Just for giggles Trump should pardon himself, commute his sentence , expunge his record whatever he can do to piss off the liberals and media.

He can't pardon state convictions.

 

[norrislakevol]

He can get it overturned on appeal.

You still smell and your maturity level is in question. It would be funny if he could.

"To respect presidency" LOL. This case was politically motivated from day one and extremely weak. It's pathetic he had to win the presidency in order to avoid getting the book thrown at him, but that's our (in)justice system for you.

Sadly, I have seen it happen in local elections in my area too. They drop all charges when the political candidate jumps out of the race, convenient. That is in Tennessee and was with Republican races as well. It is a major problem with our political scene nationally. This crap has been going on for over 30-40 years, at least, if not longer.

Major corruption in our nation being exposed. I love it. Entire corrupt system is coming down. You can call it all "conspiracy theories" and other names for only so long before it gets exposed as truth.

Funny how people miss that concept.

But states can ignore federal laws.

But states can ignore federal laws.

Sometimes. A lot of it has to do with the Constitution. Basically the Federal government, arguably, has taken on a ton of power they were never intended to have and a lot of these items were delegated to the states. The states can ignore those items.

Now if it had something to do with the REAL powers given to the Federal government, like National Defense items, the Federal Government can walk all over the states. Basically, these are the expressed powers called out in the Articles of the Constitution itself.

80% of these Federal Agencies and laws were built under two clauses in the Constitution: Equal Protection and Interstate Commerce clause and are arguably very vague and broad interpretations of those powers. Combine that with the 14th Amendment (which is also read very broadly).

The state can basically saw those clauses are being read too broadly and ignore the law/ruling/order.

Apparently the left does. Anybody with any common sense saw all this for what it was from the get go.
