Trump’s chilling warning of what will happen after his indictment


Recommended Posts

Posted

 

Former president Donald Trump has roundly rejected any investigations involving him, his campaign or business empire as a hoax, a fraud or a politically motivated hit job against him or his agenda.

In January, his company was fined $1.6m after two of its entities were convicted of 17 felonies, marking the first time that the former president and his empire – bolstered by a “culture of fraud and deception,” according to prosecutors – faced criminal consequences after he spent decades trying to avoid them.

 

Now at the centre of separate investigations from the US Department of Justice and from prosecutors in his hometown of New York and in Georgia, a state he lost to Joe Biden but where he pressed election officials to overturn the results, the leading 2024 Republican candidate for president has suggested that his supporters could respond to his election loss or potentially imminent indictments with violence.

In the UK he would have been made a Lord and given a seat on the board of several major banks.

That's really unfair BM2.  Lady Mone was already a lady (apparently) and now she's had to do a runner with all that lovely loot.

Must be another liberal opinion piece from the IUK.

He never called for violence!

“the leading 2024 Republican candidate for president has suggested that his supporters could respond to his election loss or potentially imminent indictments with violence”.

Here is another reporting from the same news company!

that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes.  

It doesn’t matter.

 

NY is prepared to deal with Trumpist violence.

Using the dog whistle: "Show them your strength", "Take back our country". He doesn't need to be explicit; they understand.

Do the terms "Show them your strength " and "Take back your Country" mean to use violence ?

   (I cannot see anywhere in the story where it says "Show them your strength" , but I have promised myself NOT to get into yet another discussion about what Trump has said and what he meant by his words  )

It sure seemed to on January 6, 2021.

You must have been saving up beer for the last seven years waiting for him to be jailed .

   Even when he was running for POTUS there were suggestions that he would be jailed , as there were all through his Presidency and then it was as soon as he left office he would be jailed . 

   This has been going on for at least seven years now and he hasnt yet been found guilty and jailed of any offence 

Got some news for you. According to Justice Dept. Policy, a sitting President can't be prosecuted for a crime while in office. So those first 4 years don't count. Second, since then, Trump's teams of lawyers have done their best to delay proceedings against him. This has, on occasion, earned them severe reproaches from judges. Most of their attempts ultimately fail, but it does eat up a lot of time.

And while he hasn't yet been found guilty, the business he headed, the Trump Organization, was indicted on 17 criminal counts and was found guilty only of 17 of them.

He did not specifically ask his supporters to use violence as that would open him to a charge of incitement, but he did use language very similar to Jan 6

"Protest - take our country back"

The indictment he is facing relates to the payment to Stormy Daniels and campaign finance - which may seem minor but could be a criminal offence, a little like Al Capone being taken down for tax evasion.

This is one of multiple possible indictments and may be the most minor one even with felony charges.

There is the hope that his incitement of civil war can be seen by judges in cases as fair grounds to imprison and muzzle him, as would happen with any other TERRORIST. 

Has Trump done another own goal?

Really ?

He was acquitted of all charges 

 

 

Donald Trump has been acquitted of a single impeachment charge that he incited a mob to storm the US Capitol. So what did the president say prior to the violence?

Neither impeachment nor trial in the Senate are criminal processes. And one crucial way they differ is that the juries are not vetted and selected from a larger pool  to warrant their impartiality.
