How does the hush money payment an attempt to interfere with an election. 

 

The payment to Stormy Daniels was made to prevent her from telling her story just before the 2016 election. Trump did not want voters to know about his liaison with her when they were voting.

 

His actions were classic election interference.

So much for Law and Order.

 

If the legal system is inconvenient, it can be dispensed with, at least for rich white men.

 

For poor black men, a knee on the throat is okay, if they are accused of selling cigarettes illegally, or passing a counterfeit $20 bill.

Sounds like Thailand!

The Trump fans want to make America more like Thailand, where the wealthy can often escape the consequences of their actions.

 

Because Trump fans think they will be wealthy one day.

Not surprised. This legal warfare is beyond boring. Roll on November so the American people can decide, not politically biased judges. 

 

What proof do you have that the judge is politically biased, and therefore corrupt and not fit to uphold the law? This judge or any other involved in Trump's many 'misjudgments' that have resulted in him facing numerous charges?

In this case a citizen Grand Jury decided there was enough evidence to warrant a trial. Next will be a citizen Trial Jury deciding guilt or innocence ... not a judge.

Of course.

 

And the judge will decide what is admissible, guide the jury, the defense, the prosecution etc.

 

To suggest the judge has no influence on the outcome is for the birds. 

 

We saw that in the Fani Willys case. He was basically acting as her subordinate. He was her beeatch.

As an non-American observer, who is definitely not a fan of Donald Trump, I wonder if any of you guys are worried at what appears to be a connived effort by the US justice system to prevent him from standing for election on November 5 ?

You've missed the point. It's the American legal system enforcing laws. Luckily. And nothing to do with an election. Even Trump appointed judges are issuing the indictments and voting no on objections brought by the liar Trump.

Quick search and found this. Recent federal appeals court that ruled against Trump's effort to claim presidential immunity from civil lawsuits against him for his alleged role in Jan 6 insurrection had among the 3 judges; Judge Gregory Katsas who was Trump appointed.

No point in providing information to @Skipalongcassidy, he only accepts stuff given to him by his internet friends.

 

Don't forget that Judge Aileen was appointed by Trump and often rules against him.

Now quit your gaslighting or at the very least quit using your gaslighting as the basis for calling other people liars.

 

You keep posting links to other people claiming Trump is saying he is about the law, but neither Trump nor his lawyers have made that claim. 

 

That's all you can do, isn't it? You can't actually formulate an argument, and you can't actually read anything and find something that supports your claims, all you can do is google up headlines and post links. 

 

Please just provide an in-context quote of Trump or Trump's layer in court claiming he is above the law, or admit you are lying. 

 

Gaslighting, that's hilarious.

Judge in Trump hush money case rejects attempt to delay trial with immunity defense

 

This is a cognitive issue on your part. You see, claiming immunity = claiming you are above the law.

 

Yeah, I know it's a hard concept for you to wrap your head around, but everyone else understands it. You might even understand it today, but you will forget it tomorrow, and we will play Groundhog Day.

So he cared about voters, but not his wife, his family, his business or reputation, correct?

 

And how is Stormy election interference? I think one could argue it would influence the election, but I don't see how it could interfere with the election. I'm guessing you don't know and that you are (as is typical) just regurgitation something someone else said. 

 

The trials on the other hand, clearly both influence and interfere with the election, but that's okay as long as it helps Biden, yes?

So, he never said it, That's what I thought, and everyone claiming he said it was ether misinformed of just lying, thank you. 

 

And claiming the President of the United States has immunity is not the same as one claiming they are above the law.

It is when the former President is claiming an immunity that doesn’t exist.

No you don't, because he never said it, but it does not matter to you because you care nothing of the Truth. 

 

Does acting like he is above the law count?

He sleeps so much in court now, he probably thinks it's his home, and soon enough he'll be storing stolen classified documents there.

trump broke the law and this trial is to show to him and the world that he is not above the law!

I will not make my response too long because you may not understand,your post show you are lacking critical thinking.

Some other leftist made the claim, and they should support the claim. but they can't, just like you can't. Of course, he'll be round to call me stupid and whatnot, but he (like you) will not be supporting his claim.
