    So, who is it commenting on here and using their experience to comment? Thai people?

    Possibly one of the very minority of foreigners. Let me explain.   If the majority of customers are Thai, then that must mean the minority are "others" whom I suspect have experience in eating McD's in several other countries, hence their comments and ability to make comparisons.- get it ?

    He added that the “3Ps” do not need to win a majority in the lower House at the next election as they can count on support from the 250 senators appointed by their post-coup junta.

     

    Until these unelected people are removed, Thailand will always be going backwards.

    It's sad really.

    All 250 Senators are appointed by the Royal Thai Military. Whomever controls the military thus control the Senators. If the 3P's are out of favour with whomever controls the military, than they will not get Senatorial support.

    He could, but there are a couple of problems.

     

    Firstly he would have to get selected by the Republican Party as their candidate.

     

    Secondly the moment he announces a run all his campaign finances are subject to scrutiny under Election law.

     

    I doubt he wants that.

     

    Finally there is the problem of Trump’s Final line of defense.

     

    I’ll make a punt here, when Trump is finally cornered by criminal prosecution he’ll claim unfitness to stand trial.

     

    Trump will not be a candidate in 2024, stick a fork in him, he’s done.

     

     

    Thanks for that

    The DoJ does not decide if there is sufficient evidence to move forward with a prosecution.

     

    The DoJ makes a determination that there is sufficient evidence to bring a prosecution, and then (following the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution) places the evidence before a Grand Jury.

     

    It is the Grand Jury that decides if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute.

     

    Grand Juries sit in camera, their deliberations are secret and even the fact there is a Grand Jury empaneled is not declared.

     

    It is also usual for the DoJ to assemble all charges against an individual, we might expect the DoJ to be particularly thorough in the case of charges against a former President.

     

    Despoiled the deliberations of Grand Juries being held in camera we do often learn from witnesses called before Grand Juries of their existence, especially if a witness(es) goes to court to challenge a subpoena.

     

    We also know that several members of Trump’s high level administration have recently been subject to search warrants, seizures and subpoenas, the DoJ issues subpoenas to ‘witnesses’ to the activities of the ‘target’, hence it is very reasonable to assume that Trump is the target.

     

    This recent raid related to theft and the laws of espionage.


    From observation of arrests , searches and court filings we know the DoJ is investigating the events of J6.

    We know the DoJ is investigating attempts to rig individual State election results.

    We know the DoJ is investigation ‘slates of fake electors (who helpfully signed their names on fake election returns).

     

    So to answer your question we would need to know how long all of this will take, and of course we can have no real idea.

     

    What we can be certain of is it’s all in progress.

     

    Justice is coming.

    Thanks for the clarification as being non American I would not know the system in detail.  So it could take a long time for a prosecution.  These are long shots I know but bear with me pls.   If Trump has not been convicted then he can stand as the Republican representative at the next presidential election ? Is that Nov 2024 ?. Any prosecution may well take longer than two years perhaps ? Let's say by fair means or foul he actually got elected. Would that then mean he could not even be prosecuted as he would then be the President ? 

  5. So based upon what is known, not speculated about or dreamed off by certain members, if it turns out that there were some documents Trump should not have had in his possession and the DoJ considers that there is sufficient evidence to move forward with an intended prosecution, how long would the more learned colleagues on this forum suggest it would take to reach the first judicial hearing ?
