A justified verdict. Kudos to the judge for not caving into political pressure. Embezzling money from the EU, especially when you are anti-EU, to help finance one's own political ambitions, is sinister and a violation of public trust.

 

What did Jasmine Crockett say about MTG? Bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body? Equally applicable here. A bitter conniving vaping racist viper who won't be missed any more than her father. Good riddance.

Thanks. I could not agree more. And like what we see too much playing in the USA, the more fascist-minded and the more crooked they are, those French (and elsewhere) politicians like to parade as "patriots". It's revolting.

Please keep up. There were no crimes, which is why they had to ressurect a decade old expired misdemeanor and link it to an unnamed crime to make it 34 felonies. Nobody believed a word of it. J6'ers are about to get reparations. The "stolen" classified docs were all returned with a big Sorry Sir.

The global left's warfare will be judged harshly by future historians. It marks the point developed nations regressed into 3rd world holes due to the left's irrational hatred.

Ah, the fantasy world of a MAGA cult member!

 

Your "nobody" believed a word of it merely refers to cult members, who lack the brains to understand. Such is the curse of inferior genes.

 

Your messiah is not infallible. He stole highly classified documents. It was no inadvertent; it was on purpose. Why does a guy running a wedding planner facility need TS, SCI, Codeword, SAP, HCS and other docs? When asked to return them, why did he lie and keep so many that the FBI had to search his facility to get them back?

 

Why did he call his goobers to DC for 6 January, saying "It'll be WILD!", when on that day the only activity was a pro forma certification of a free and fair election he lost badly? Why did he tell his goobers to march to the Capitol, saying "fight" 34 times in his bizarre rant, and "peacefully" just once? Is he just too stupid to understand crowd mentality, which seems to be your excuse?

 

And why do people who beat and bear sprayed police, shat on the floor of the Capitol, and set up gallows to hang the Vice President deserve "reparations"?

 

MAGAs are sick fascist scum, one and all. Every last one of those terrorists should have been Babbitized. Traitors to democracy and American ideals. It is MAGAs who suffer a "syndrome" and have irrational hatred of everything better people than a MAGA could ever be fought to defend for 250 years.

A perfect and true answer to all MAGAS and YAGODAS.

None of them see, or do not want to see, how their 'POTUS' is ruining the USA and the reputation of their state. From a country that enjoyed a high reputation to a state that is no longer trusted, on which one can no longer rely. And all this in a few weeks. And the MAGA idiots are proud of it. The rude awakening is still coming, but probably too late. Hopefully, however, they will not deport the Orange to the homeland of his ancestors, but send him to a loony bin, where he has long belonged.

Still butt hurt that Harris didn't win then.

 

If you want to bring up loonies, just look in the mirror.

Yes, when applied to real criminals, not ones fitted up to remove them as political contenders.

It doesn't depend on one politician though, so expect more fake accusations of wrong doing against the Rally.

I'm not MAGA, and never wore a silly MAGA hat. I just disliked HRC and Biden and Harris more than I dislike Trump. I also like Trump's domestic policies against illegals, DEI, MMCC and woke.

He’s far from Maga than you think!

But he dislikes the left as their efforts to control mass migration has been a

big travesty, in western civilized countries.

Her lack of contrition, refusal to take any responsibility for her actions, trafficking in conspiracy theories, and attacks on the judiciary may fit the "victim" narrative of the far-right but it won't resonate with France's left or middle of the road voters. In addition, Trump, with his stance on Ukraine, NATO, tariffs on European goods, attempts to annex Greenland and take over the Gaza strip, and allowing Elon Musk to meddle in European politics, is probably more despised on the European continent than any American president in recent memory.

Yes I am sure we can agree on that.

Just saying you (not you specifically) are confused without saying what you are confused about seems to be a frivolous exercise indulged in by some of the many negative posters on the site who have nothing better to do.

A plethora of evidence of a crime in this case.

Excellent, another case expert. The last one who said it was a set up couldn't answer me, maybe you can?

So which part of the embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds evidence do you disagree with? How was it decided up front? Did everyone agree to falsify the evidence in court?

Tell me please, which specific piece of evidence you disagree with.

The court of appeal has said they will hear the case in 2026 with a verdict expected summer 2026. 

So she may be able to participate in the 2027 presidential election.

If she hadn't embezzled money over several years then there would be nothing to ban her for. Ever considered that?

Ever considered looking at other offences of corruption in France to juxtapose with the treatment of Le Pen. The offences differ in detail, but they are broadly similar in nature — all involve misuse of public funds or negligence in public office:

 

<> Marine Le Pen: Convicted in 2025 for embezzling EU funds by using them to pay party staff in France rather than for EU parliamentary work. Result: 4-year sentence (2 suspended), €100,000 fine, 5-year ban from office 

 

<> Christine Lagarde: Found guilty in 2016 of negligence over a €400m payout to a businessman while finance minister. No fine, no ban, no sentence imposed.

 

<> Jacques Chirac: Convicted in 2011 of embezzlement and abuse of public trust — creating fake jobs while mayor of Paris. Received a 2-year suspended sentence, no political ban.

 

Proportionality …. hmmmm, arguably, Le Pen’s case involves a smaller financial scale than Lagarde’s or Chirac’s — yet she received the harshest penalty in terms of political consequences. That raises valid concerns about consistency and timing, especially with an election on the horizon; and we worry about the ominous signs of a two their justice system in the UK.
