Popular Post Scott Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 A grand jury in Manhattan has voted to indict Donald Trump, according to three sources familiar with the matter – the first time in American history that a current or former president will face criminal charges. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating the former president in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election. The decision is sure to send shockwaves across the country, pushing the American political system – which has never seen one of its ex-leaders confronted with criminal charges, let alone while running again for president – into uncharted waters. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/30/politics/donald-trump-indictment/index.html 3 2 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encouraging his supporters to duff up and pour bleach on a poor black actor out for a Subway? Claiming the biden laptop was real? Anything else? I'm sure when Venezuela started locking up opposition politicians that the party in power and their fans were cheering. Sad to see the US going down that route, but since all the fake news about Trump and all the silly hoaxes of course it has to end like this - apart from he will be found not guilty as the charges are political BS borne through irrational hatred of the man that gave the world 4 years of peace and prosperity. 2 4 6 1 4 3 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's straight from Trumps lawyers, in the NYT I linked to. Quote Trump’s lawyers handling his federal investigations have privately said that the New York indictment will be test case of public opinion as criminal charges become a reality. They are watching closely for any backlash against Mr. Bragg that could affect the federal special counsel, Jack Smith. Since you seem to follow Trump I'm pretty sure you know what Jack Smith was put in charge of. Edited March 30, 2023 by eisfeld 5 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 Now the "entertainment" begins. This will be keeping CCN in business for a while anyway. Assuming the case even gets to court, just trying to find an unbiased juror will be a major problem, and a biased jury is an appeal guarantee right there. However, win or lose this is IMO the Dems dream case as voters will probably be unlikely to vote for a man that is facing a court case, and it may not go to court for years, if the American "justice" system is anything to go by. Job done for the Dems. 3 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gecko123 Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 I wonder how many of Trump's supporters claiming they would still vote for Trump even if he was convicted of a felony also oppose giving convicted felons the right to vote. The hypocrisy of the supposed "law and order" party is breathtaking. Anyone who thinks this is going to help him in the polls needs to have their medication adjusted. 6 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the judge will limit the trial to and that's what the jury will be instructed on. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the anti Trumpers on here were to be on the jury, they'd vote to convict even if there was no poof at all IMO. Doesn't matter what the judge instructs jury on, in the jury room they are the deciders. If they weren't, don't need juries. I'm sure that if any Trump supporters were on the jury they'd be voting not guilty whatever the proof. Problem for the lawyers is that there is probably no American that has no opinion on Trump. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You overestimate the American public. A lot of people are not particularly political and don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. People that have a bias are not permitted on the jury. You can bet your bottom dollar they will check carefully, including social media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the case will be held in New York, so even less chance of that, IMO. I can see any conviction being set aside on appeal for being unsafe. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 I think overall this is a sad situation. I would love to see Trump in jail, but please for a real crime and not because he supposedly lied about a payment to a hooker. He should have been prosecuted a long time ago for treason. He should have been in jail for obstruction of justice. There are so many real bad things this guy did that it is amazing that he is not in jail. If he goes down basically because he f@$#%# that woman, then I understand why people are upset. Jail him for something real! There are more than enough real reasons. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are IMO plenty of former presidents that should have been in jail- Nixon for a start, but it's not been the American way to do so, till now. I doubt the Dems care what he's eliminated from standing for, just as long as he can't, which, IMO is what it's always been about. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get around to the important stuff. This will run for years, certainly long enough to prevent him from trying to hijack the next election as he tried to the last. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
