you talking about john cain? 

 

let me ask you 1 thing, if Trump had served in Nam, would you show him honor and respect now? i very much doubt it, do you show Michael Flynn respect?

 

 


Veterans very rightly get respect for their service.

 

What they don’t get is a life time free pass to commit crimes.

 

Convicted Felon Trump skipped military service but couldn’t resist a career in criminality.

 

I don’t think Flynn is out of the woods yet.

Good movie!  Biden could play the part to a T after someone raided the freezer and took his ice cream in the White House pantry.

A jury's deliberations is only a function of the evidence allowed in Court and the pretrial rulings as to how the charges can be presented, and then instructions to the jury as presented by the judge.

 

Or in a nutshell might be presented by the defense in an appeal:

 

Garbage in -- Garbage out.

Alvin Bragg and his colleagues did a very professional job in this case. I didn't expect a guilty on all 34 counts. But who am I.

Considering their handling of the case so far, and the professionalism of the judge, I don't give an appeal much chance.

All of a sudden after over 800 years Trial by jury loses its luster.

Though the crime of falsifying business records is nominally a misdemeanor, the Manhattan district attorney’s office almost always charges it as a felony. Still, the Trump case stands apart. The (NY)Times could identify only two other felony cases in Manhattan over the past decade in which defendants were indicted on charges of falsifying business records but no other crime.

Yeah. The dodgy right wing media has a huge responsibility for misinformation being spread. Too bad maga cult members are too lazy, or afraid, to fact check

Not even lazy or afraid. They simply just don't care whether It's true or not.

This is the case at issue. And many of the appeal issues occured even before there was a trial and a jury,

Trial by combat is what those wannabe Maga tough guys want. Fact is that they are just whiners and snowflakes who can't handle any bad news of their dear leader.

Fine with me. Messing with a presidential election for your own advantage seems serious enough to me to dig up the appropriate laws, even if used rarely.

I'd rather see Trump behind for his role in the Jan6 insurrection and his theft of classified documents, but Garland efficiently ran those cases into the ditch.

Well I don't see that you are the one it needs to be fine with. Judge Merchan's argument pre-trial as to what is OK, is. And there are enough left leaning legal scholars that say there are problems there as well
