Stormy Daniels: Trump invited to testify before grand jury
Chomper Higgot replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Not quite that simple. If the GJ passes down a decision to indict the prosecution then need to formally indict. It would however be extremely unusual for them not to do so. Thereafter a judge summons Trump before the court (This is an arrest regardless of how Trump turns up at court and regardless of whether he is cuffed). The judge will set a trial date and bail conditions. The judge will also order the prosecution to present all the evidence they have for and against Trump to his legal team. Trump is not accused of a violent crime and hence will certainly be given bail, with conditions attached. House arrest and surrender of passports is the most likely outcome. The attached conditions will include standard terms regarding intimidation of witnesses and what Trump may or may not disclose in the evidence the Court will ordered transferred to his legal team. Examples might be naming and doxing witnesses against him, threats overt or implied, against witnesses, prosecutors, the court, judge or anyone involved with the case. If Trump breaks those Bail terms then he may be rearrested and jailed. The question is of course, can Trump stop running his mouth? -
Stormy Daniels: Trump invited to testify before grand jury

Trump is the target of the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury is a constitutionally mandated procedure to review evidence before indictments for ‘capital or infamous crimes’, in this case crimes that, if conviction is achieved will result in imprisonment. The Grand Jury is not a trial, but better described as an ‘inquest’ to examine if indictment is warranted. For this reason it is the evidence and testimony of witnesses in favor of prosecution that are presented to the Grand Jury. The ‘target’, in this case Trump gets to defend themselves at trial if the Grand Jury recommends indictment. However, under New York statutes, targets of Grand Juries are permitted themselves to address the Grand Jury, they are not compelled to do so but must be offered the opportunity to do so. Hence the invite with the ‘Mae West letter’. Trump will almost certainly decline the invite as anything he says before the Grand Jury is evidence admissible at trial. Trump is now in real peril of indictment, if he’s managed to find a lawyer who’s willing to give him the advice he needs, as opposed to the advice he wants to hear, then Trump will be zipping his mouth. Place your bets. -

Do stop with this deflection of assumptions on who the migrants are or why they are coming. The subject under discussion is the censoring of Gary Lineker for speaking up against the language used by Government in reference to migrants. -

You might want to research how it was that singling out a minority group escalated into crimes against humanity and how the question came to be asked ‘Why didn’t anyone speak up against this before it was too late?’. -

If you can’t back up an assertion of Gary Lineker being a socialist you should not make the assertion. That’s how honest, good faith debate works. -

No body has proven he evaded taxes. Perhaps we should have a thread on that. -

“ So what he has done appears to be clear tax evasion” I think you mean ‘allegedly. Snd what does this allegation have to do with the topic under discussion? -

Your claim that Lineker is a true socialist. I’ve asked you if he has ever made a statement that he’s a socialist and if so do you have a link. Has he, do you have a link or are you engaging in a baseless ad hominem? -
