I see an area I might have been in error.  In fact the House voted to impeach for lying in court (perjury) but the senate voted not guilty.  They voted 50-50 guilty of obstruction of justice.

 

So I'm trying to figure out who forced him to accept a fine of $25,000 and suspension of his law license plus barred from practicing in front of the SCOTUS?  If not congress who had the power to levy those punishments?

 

 

Bill Clinton received a 5 year suspension of his Arkansas law license plus a fine of $25,000.  Under threat of being forbidden to practice before SCOTUS, he resigned.

The powers lie in the Arkansas Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Hope that answers your question.

Under an odd quirk of New York state law, a person found guilty of a felony or many felonies as in the case of the president elect, can't technically be an actual CONVICTED felon until sentencing.

Many have assumed he had dodge that bullet.
He has not.

The sentencing is scheduled for January 10.

His inauguration is January 20.

Ipso facto -- convicted felon president.

So he can add that to his honors such as first president ever impeached TWICE.

 

 Still POTUS and won everything, and your person NOTHING despite your crazy posts about unity etc. You are irrelevant, and no one cares about the made-up convictions. Suck it up and try shutting up for a change?

The funny thing I find about your POV is that you pose as fair and objective while your bias is totally obvious.

I always prefer when people don't play such transparent games.

 You always prefer? Your arrogance is astounding! The thing about you woke lefties is that you are so sanctimonious. 

[Jingthing]

So it's done now.

Trump's Hail Mary pass to his SCOTUS good buddies failed.

Now he WILL enter the presidency as the very first CONVICTED FELON president.

Congratulations, maga.

Will they use his mug shot as the official photo for government offices and airports?

Thanks to the left destroying democracy with these hilarious witch hunts I think the Trumps are going to be a Shinawat style political dynasty. I mean, which sane voter says Oh boy we need more Venezuela style lawfare against political opponents we cant beat in an election?!

 

Im guessing DJT 2024-2028, Don jr 2028-2036 then Baron 2036-2044. Maybe by then the lawfarist have understood how they messed up real real bad and get another chance?

You are lacking a fundamental understanding of impeachment.

 

There was a big unintended error in what you quoted from me.

It said with conviction. I corrected that to say WITHOUT conviction. 

Of course conviction brings removel from office but ZERO criminal penalties. 

Then why was he impeached after he left office, it all they could do is remove him from office? Spite.

 

And he was only impeached once as President, the second time he was a private citizen. 

[uncletiger]

I would just like to say:

 

1) Now that this is finally over, Trump will appeal and it will all be thrown out, so in the end nothing was accomplished.

2) How awesome is it that now America now gets a president with "street cred"?

 

I find it amusing anyone thinks this means anything. Trump will still be your president. It is just one more event that will lead to the censure of the extremely corrupt judge Juan Merchan, and the exposure of all the corruption and criminal activity within the SDNY court system.

 

History will record Trump as being politically persecuted by a faction of criminal globalist elites.

Clinton was impeached in the house.

Clinton was not convicted in the senate.

So he's a president that was impeached one time.

Trump is a president who has been impeached two times.

And he was convicted of neither. I would not be surprised that, when all this shakes out, that Trump is exonerated of both and they are removed from the history books.

"So it's done now."  So is the election, and in a few days the inauguration will also be done.  Get over it, already!

As you just said, trump will appeal. So it means a lot to trump, your opinion notwithstanding.

 

I would have preferred a more substantial sentence. But imo this was not worth prison. A fine would have been nice, but i think he can now only appeal the verdict, not the sentence.

The majority didn't vote for him. He won the election but not by the landslide claimed

He won right? Poor lefty. 

 

In any event, you can bask in the glory of Trump finally being a convicted felon for a few months until the conviction is overturned.
