You know Jesus had the same problem but hey that's another story.

Jesus had tax problems?? Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

PS. Anyone comparing Jesus to defendant trump has most likely got some underlying mental health issues.

Strong? LOL.

That will be decided by the jury, not Mr Bragg.

What's the point of your post? Mr. Bragg is expressing an expert opinion. That the jury will decide on defendant trump's guilt is something we all know.

If all you have are diversions then better not post....IMHO, of course.

Trumps wins in defamation cases also confirm that the justice system is not biased against Trump, contrary to what he and his supporters are claiming.

So true, and the silence from the MAGA boys is soooo predictable.????

When Mr Trump walks away from these charges I'm sure his parking tickets will be investigated as well.

 

I'm sure Trump is guilty of many, many illegal dealings through out his life. Each and everyone of us I'm sure is guilty of fudging numbers in some way to gain an edge, have out income a bit smaller, our deductions a bit inflated. Now, I'm sure Mr Trump has been using the system all his life and they get him on 130K hush money, oh the irony.

You mean like how they got Al Capone on tax evasion instead of multiple murders, racketeering, kidnapping etc?

Might be ironic to you but it sure is beautiful and couldn't happen to a worse person.

Let me fix that for you:

Alan Morton Dershowitz is an American lawyer and former law professor known for his work in U.S. constitutional law and American criminal law rabid trump apologist.

For Trump, indictment in Stormy Daniels case is just the tip of the iceberg

"While Tuesday’s arraignment of former President Donald Trump will be the first time a former U.S. president has been charged with criminal offenses, it likely won’t be the last. By summer’s end, Trump could be charged in no fewer than four separate criminal investigations.

In fact, while Trump’s indictment stemming from his $130,000 hush money payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels represents a legal threat to the former president, the others may carry a greater risk of serious consequences, including a possible prison sentence."

They are:

1. Georgia election interference

2. Jan. 6 investigation

3. Classified documents at Mar-a-Lago

Are they Democrat experts? So Soros is clean? This must be a first!

I could ask you for credible links to prove Soro's 'uncleanliness' but we both know that would be a waste of time......

Trump makes last-ditch change to legal team to sideline 'loudmouth' lawyer ahead of arraignment

"Donald Trump has shaken up his legal team with less than 24 hours to go before his arraignment in New York on criminal charges, amid reported concerns over his former lead attorney who appeared to publicly disagree with the former president in TV interviews."

If I may repeat Michael Cohen's advice to all trump attorneys; "RUN!"

Poll: Majority of Americans approve of Trump indictment

"Sixty percent of Americans approve of the indictment of former President Donald Trump...."

"Independents largely line up in support of the indictment – 62% approve of it and 38% disapprove. "

What kind of country has a criminal think that he can get pardoned from his crime if he wins an election ????????????

The kind that has a PM that has already pardoned himself and his henchmen for any past or future crimes.

Sure, but who (other than 1 person) could give such an order?

 

Sure Thaksin has dedicated followers. But plentyof them are wise enought to want to follow the laws of Thailand including 'nobody is above the law'.

 

There's also haters and many of these folks would vermently not accept an order to change/adjust/cancel his convictions and sentences, and would very possibly raise some very serious protests.

 

As mentioned IMHO "All this is really thaksin vote buying 2023."

 

 

"Sure, but who (other than 1 person) could give such an order?"

That's clearly something we cannot discuss.

"Sure Thaksin has dedicated followers. But plentyof them are wise enought to want to follow the laws of Thailand including 'nobody is above the law'."

If your guy/gal/party has time and again won elections only to be squeezed out by illegal means why would you worry about that? I certainly wouldn't.

"There's also haters and many of these folks would vermently not accept an order to change/adjust/cancel his convictions and sentences, and would very possibly raise some very serious protests."

No doubt.

"As mentioned IMHO "All this is really thaksin vote buying 2023.""

We shall see. If Thaksin does return it's clear that you're wrong and that this is something much more substantial.

3. Do you really think anybody will issue an order that he can come back without going to jail from the airport etc?

 

All this is really thaksin vote buying 2023. 

 

I don't know what orders have been given. All I know is that Thaksin will not return unless some sort of deal has been made.

I am waiting now to see who is going to argue that PT should be banned as a party and removed because a convicted criminal is electioneering for them.

 

Thaksin saying this is just a way for him to gin up support from those that remember the good old days

The problem that they are going to face, though is the threat or promise of his return is going to give some of the other parties the necessary fuel to add to their fire.  Remember he was ousted by protest and a coup.  

 

There are still a lot of people that think he was/is guilty and do not remember the Thaksin days as the good ole days.

 

Well, we shall see if that's correct unless the old elite succeed in squeezing Paetongtarn out first. No doubt they will try their very best.

"Pheu Thai in its previous incarnations has won every election since 2001, but its governments have been unseated through judicial rulings or military coups."

I would be cautions, the guy is most likely welcomed back because he certainly made concessions with the thai elite.

 

Exactly. If Thaksin returns it's because deals have been made, deals that have been sanctioned by invisible hands and no amount of squealing from the rabid anti-thaksinistas will change that.
