You know what gets me about you and all the other Trump apologists on this site is not one of you have actually condemned Trump for bedding a porn star whilst married to a woman who just gave birth to his son, paid off that porn star to keep her quiet during the presidential election (as well as numerous others including a Playboy Bunny) and tried to hide the payments through 'legal fees'. Is your identity politics so strong or your love of this man so deep that you can just ignore this type of behaviour? For gods sake this man has been conning and stiffing people all his life, to include his OWN charity. Do you just ignore this or is your own standards so low that you see this as perfectly acceptable behavour?

Can't you see that this and his other, very obvious character flaws make him unfit to even hold public office never mind the presidency? Honestly I'm really interested in just what is it about this guy that makes you suspend reality and ignore integrity, honesty and severe character flaws? Do you not think a POTUS should have integrity, honesty and standards?  Do you honestly believe he is emotionally qualified to become the next POTUS?     

 

What you say is done everyday in America and elsewhere and it is not a crime. Trump has said many times over that he did not do this. So lets let the courts prove otherwise in which case it is between Trump and he's family not the courts.

Why would a New York Jury be any different. You've already made your views known that he is being railroaded. It's not your decision to convict him or exonerate him. The facts are the facts. Without any substance the facts fall short. Up to the jury which will not be all democrats...

It’s a cousin of the ‘Fake News’ mantra.

 

There is only one ‘Truth’ and that truth is decided by the ‘Trump’.

 

Everything else, no matter what the source, is not the truth.

Don't they have solitary confinement in the States?

Even a possible guilty verdict does not mean necessarily any jail time as ex-President Trump's Secret Service protection-for-life will have a lot to say about it.

Don't understand the connection between jail time and secret service protection for life. Please share.

You say so but in New York???

Too bad. Trump can’t seek out juries using specific barometers that would be more preferable to him.

Y'all are Trump silly if you think there's a snowball's chance in hell for a conviction, let alone any jail time.  At his age, he could be dead before the appeal process is done ????

 

New York grand jury only requires 12 of 16 jurors to agree there is a case to be made.

 

Good luck finding 12 people to convict in criminal court.  IF it makes it to trial.

 

DISTRACTION

Why do you think that an actual criminal case is a distraction?. I mean would it make any difference if he had not been a former president and was just Donald Trump the business man being prosecuted for the crimes he was indicted on.  Remember he was not indicted because he was the former president or for the fact he is running for the presidency.  He is being prosecuted for crimes he is charged with.

“Falsifying business records in the first degree” doesn’t sound very dramatic, it is however a felony and of concern to the Defendant, it is a felony that is very easily proven with documents and records.

 

Or in this case 34 counts of “Falsifying business records in the first degree”
 

 

you do realize hillary did this also with the russian report she organized and the way she paid for it with campaign funds in the same district(claimed as lawyer fees), it is already being reported so will be interesting to see of bragg will do the same with her, also the statute of limitations for this is 2 years so a bit past it. While this is only for some of the 34 counts the others are federal and not state and the federal side is saying there is nothing to see, very big clutch at straws and will open the gates for republicans doing the same thing to democrats now in retaliation. This was a very stupid move, should have left it for the other charges around the country but bragg wants to be re elected and was following his bosses  orders, will turn into a big mistake on the dems side

Like you say, ‘very big clutch at straws’.

Really the next big event here -- well before any, if any, jury trial --  is 08AUG23 when the Trump defense gets to submit motions including almost certainly a motion to have the whole case thrown out.

People like the fact that he is a racist.

DOJ didn't bother for 2 yrs ...

As stated, (I'm not following), but if correct, misdemeanors at best, and DA is charging as felony.  Unless there's a huge paper trail, with his name/signature on it, along with guessing a few of his star witnesses are convicted felons & admitted liars.

 

Yea ... good luck.

 

Only takes 1 person for a hung jury, besides long appeal's process.

Nothing but political, and nothing but a DISTRACTION, which is basically everything now of days.

They have been working on this case the whole time as they wanted to make sure they had solid evidence to prove his crimes. More indictments for his other crimes to follow.

True, but why would that have any influence on the outcome of a jury trial deciding on his guilt or innocence and/or the length of his sentence (as was implied in the post starting this particular part of the discussion)?

Because if there ever was a conviction with prison time, the Secret Service would be in charge. I never suggested the Secret Service would have any impact on the outcome.
