The law says 'a jury of his peers', but admittedly the court needed some extra latitude in that regard.

 

I mean, how many other morbidly obese, mendacious, narcoleptic, serial philandering, racist, Narcissistic, twice impeached, convicted sex offenders, convicted bank and insurance fraudsters, convicted charity fraudsters facing 91 felony indictments are out there?

Brilliant summerisation of the filthy grifter.

Maybe the Judge will have Trump come to the bench and settle the argument?

Will the judge dismiss it for lack of evidence in that case?

Very silly comment.

 

Have you ever heard of Whitewater, the $37 million Repub 'investigation' into a tiny RE deal that resulted in a stained blue dress?

 

How about the 11 straight hours Hillary endured discussing another Repub expensive wild goose chase referred to as Benghazi?

 

As for Hunter, is he a govt official? Did he try to sell his name to developments in India and the UAE as Uday and Qusay Don, Jr and Eric did?

 

Did any Biden or Clinton go to the Russian Embassy in DC a month before the inauguration of their namesake to "open a secret direct channel to putin", as Jared did?

 

Did Hunter get $1.2 billion from Qatar to refinance a white elephant in NYC (666 5th Ave) while serving as a Senior Adviser to the President, as Jared did? And why did the sanctions imposed on Qatar 'suddenly' get removed days after the refinancing?

 

Did Hunter get 37 trademarks approved in China while serving as a Senior Adviser to the President, as Ivanka did?

 

I must have missed the DoJ going after Jared, Don, Jr, Eric and Ivanka for their influence peddling.

 

ONLY trump tried to overturn an election. ONLY trump stole highly classified documents (vs the personal notes with some classified info removed by Pence, Biden and Reagan) and then lied about returning them. ONLY trump tried to pressure a State official to commit voter and election fraud. ONLY trump called his goobers to DC to "fight like hell" and "march to the Capitol". Al Gore, who had a legitimate reason to question the SC's decision re Florida, did not do what trump did.

 

trump absolutely 100% deserves all the indictments coming his way, and if he truly was innocent, he would want to clear his name as quickly as possible, rather than delay in the longshot hope he wins re-election and can pardon himself for a few of his alleged crimes.

It's called a subpoena:

 

He’s the first person ever to testify at a criminal trial of a former U.S. president, and David Pecker is doing so under subpoena, with his lawyer in the courtroom.

Or maybe as in Jimmy Durante's famous line:

 

 “Everybody wants to get into the act!”

Meanwhile in court.

 

Pecker testifies to his part in ‘catch and kill’ on Trump’s behalf while Trump’s lawyer humiliated himself.

 

The hearing on Trump’s flaunting the partial gag order didn’t go well, the ruling has yet to come.

There are many many more beyond pecker involved in the variety of charges....trumper after trumper has come forth from jan 6 on to share what they saw and heard....very easy to say..."i don't recall" but few did....bottom line is the same old tired line of a dem witch hunt that has been the cult motto  for years is simply yet another lie spun to try and protect dear leader.

subponea or not their testimony has the potential to fry donnie and the dunces as most of it is backed by extensive documentation as well as audio and video and much of it compliments of donnie and his big flapping mouth...

 

As stated before to call it a witch hunt is yet another lie to convince trumpers that everybody is picking on donnie boy and he has done nothing wrong.  If he is innocent then by all means drop the disrupt delay deny and get on with the trials so he can once and for all show what fools those of us who think he is a crook a criminal and a conman truly are.

A DA promising to convict a perp doesn't make the perp innocent.

And his promise doesn’t make a person guilty.

That's why there's a trial. 

 

With more to come.

 

How about Trump's attorneys defending Trump for his violations of the gag order? Do you think they provided a good defense?

Influencing or attempting to influence an election is not a crime. 

"Catch and kill", whereby an "exclusive" is paid for and the story never run, is not a crime.  

Reimbursing your lawyer payments for an NDA and calling it legal expenses is not a crime. 

 

And of course, it's just a coincidence that Matthew Colangelo, that served in the Obama Administration and who was one of Merrick Garland’s top guys in the Biden DOJ ended up as the lead prosecutor on the case.

 

Nothing to see here....

if you do not want to be charged with crimes then it might be a good idea not to commit crimes and leave massive piles of evidence behind....whether magas like it or not it is the job of doj fbi and ag to investigate and gather evidence when crimes are alleged and then present that evidence to a grand jury of regular citizens who then determine whether the evidence warrants indictments.....that is what has happened.  I doubt trump will be bankrupted as he seems to have a lot of delusional fools willing to keep sending him $$ to pay the army of lawyers who are trying to defend the indefensible.

Sad. That's not at all how it works with political persecution. "Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime," Lavrentiy Beria famously said. What wasn't a crime, becomes a crime (with law enacted retroactively if necessary) or is simply alleged to be possibly a crime that'll have to be defended at ruinous cost, possibly (even probably) before biased jurors. Ruination of a career may be threatened:

 

Jay Bratt, the special counsel’s lead prosecutor, allegedly threatened Trump staff member Walt Nauta’s attorney, Stanley Woodward, with sabotaging his judicial nomination to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia if he could not get Nauta to turn on Trump, according to a newly unsealed motion originally filed in June 2023.

     --https://thefederalist.com/2024/04/24/here-are-the-3-most-shocking-discoveries-just-unsealed-in-trump-classified-docs-case/

 

Indictments, to which our more feminine members cling religiously, don't mean a lot, as a good prosecutor can get a ham sandwich indicted. No defense is presented.

 

I'll leave it at that, because you're too naive for this discussion, and it's the usual waste of time attempting to educate.

The political persecution in this case has moved into a criminal trial.

 

Political persecution can refer to political repression, which is when a state entity controls a citizenry by force for political reasons. This can include:

Fear tactics like torture, extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and political imprisonment

Restricting civil liberties like freedom of movement, association, speech, and assembly

Internet censorship

Unfair administrative hurdles for registering demonstrations

Ban on political parties

Restricting access to information

Tracking the political opposition

Acts of violence

Yup, that's some of what the Biden admin, cronies, and thugs are continuing to try to do, and more, with additional subtleties to add in. And no, I'm not going to get into one your bickering loops, as you'll end in silence only to try a different one. It's a religion. 🙂

Trump still might beat the rap in the NY case, or be found guilty of misdemeanors, if that's a possibility.

 

Also, the Georgia case is complicated, and he's up against a county DA, not the Feds.

 

In the Federal cases, he's dead meat, if they happen.

A little campaigning during his trial.  The real working people of NYC supported him.

 

He could win New York despite the corruption of the “elites “.

 

You won’t see this on CNN or MSNBC.
