Popular Post Walker88 Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 From the court transcript at his arraignment in front of Magistrate Judge Upadhyaya, the judge warned trump: "It is a crime to try to influence a juror or to threaten or attempt to bribe a witness or any other person who may have information about your case, or to retaliate against anyone for providing information about your case to the prosecution, or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice." The judge added a warning that if trump violated the conditions of release, “You may be held pending trial in this case.” Magistrate: “Do you understand these warnings and consequences, sir?” trump: “yes.” So Friday trump posts this on his ironically named "Truth Social", all in caps: "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!" That is an obvious threat, and most probably a dog whistle to his cult of goobers. The admonition made by the Magistrate Judge "You may be held" could come into play. trump is asking to be jailed pending the trial. (An aside: it's little wonder trump has trouble finding talented lawyers to defend him, both because of his reputation for not paying his bills and also because he is incapable of not shooting himself in the foot. In fact, he shoots himself in the foot, while the foot is in his mouth, and his head is up his fatuga.) 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead the media, and particularly social media actively suppressed most stories damaging to Biden , and withheld those benefiting Trump - that was hardly fair. It's possible trump's miserable handling of Covid, his advice to inject Lysol and stick a UV light up your backside, his withholding of (R) voted aid to Ukraine until Zelenskyy manufactured fake claims against Biden (despite the partisan Senate not voting to charge trump, the American people know trump was guilty), the skyrocketing debt trump was issuing (new debt of $7,800,000,000,000 under him), the abysmal rate of Unemployment (6.8%), the Recession, and trump's endless lying (30,000 while POTUS, per WaPo) and acting like a spoiled child had something to do with him getting crushed by Biden. Maybe AMericans got tired of that sort of 'so much winning'. Looks like he also wasted money and put himself in legal jeopardy by breaking FEC laws when he paid off Stormy so she wouldn't speak of their affair nor would she note---as she did later---"not quite freakishly small, but well below average". trump illegally squelched that before the election, but he still got hammered by Biden. As Stormy's quote tells us, trump also lied during the (R) candidate debate when---after a comment by Marco Rubio noting trump's 'tiny hands and short fingers', and what that might imply, trump said, "And he said if my hands are small, something else must be small, and I guarantee there's no problem there". Stormy says otherwise. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I thought Garland would wait until Feb 2022 to get the ball rolling, a year into the administration. I figured if he did it too soon it would look too banana republic, as around that time Ecuador had an election and the loser was locked up the next day. At this point I think Smith is doing the Jan 6 case as first priority, and let the Florida case run forever. And let the state cases (more of those to come) keep him busy. DT will be over 80 years old when he gets to the orange jumpsuit. Edited August 5, 2023 by bendejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he can't. There's method in his madness. His begging for "All I need is 11870 votes!" to Raffensberger totally wipes the insanity argument off the table. I have the feeling that Trump is using his (remaining) free time to plan some sort of coup-encore. His minions probably are getting busy to help him....behind bars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with Jingthing...Garland might have come - belatedly - to realize that he isn't up for the job as head of DOJ (age/health wise maybe or just lack of cojones). He made amends with the assignment of Smith in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame that on Rudy Giuliani, he obviously mistimed his attempt at creating an October surprise--plant "evidence" that looks incriminating before the election to throw doubt on one candidate but not so long before the election there is time to discredit it. Rudy started the laptop story before there was time for reputable news organizations to investigate and report it. Even the Washington Post wouldn't run with the story without some checks. Too bad Trump didn't have someone to throw the election like FBI Director Comey did in 2016. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no positive stories available 'benefitting' Trump. He's a sex offender, draft-dodging, tax dodging, serial lying, grifter. How do you put a positive spin on that? Of course, even harder now to come up with something. His spray tan seems less ghastly orange? There you go. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
