Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

I don't want to live in a country where Trump could be held accountable

Are we really the kind of county that allows 'evidence' to go before a 'grand jury' then lets that grand jury 'vote to indict' a former president?

Judging from this thread, satire like this is too realistic I'm not sure Trump supporters would realise.

Oh loooooooooooooooool. He's finally SAID IT

What if he's president before the conclusion of the trial?

If Trump is a sitting president before the trial is concluded he will probably put pressure on his Department of Justice to stop the prosecution.

At the current moment the judge slated to take the trial is one he appointed and who already issued ridiculously favorable rulings for him although she was heavily criticized for by a higher court when those were over overturned on appeal.

No love for Barr, think his summarization of the Mueller report was grossly biased and designed to torpedo the report, but Trump himself claimed they parted amicably and Barr said he resigned.

I would imagine there will be enormous pressure to have a trial ASAP. The Feds filed in a court that is known for moving swiftly. Figure Trump will stand trial for the documents case before he is tried in Manhattan next March.

Then we get to find out whether or not we can get twelve people to convict. The indictment makes it quite clear he's guilty. Doesn't mean a jury will see it that way.

Not sure it will be swift, lots of hoops to jump through for the evidence alone. Trump will also want to stonewall as much as possible.

The Southern District in Florida is known for being sticklers about the 'speedy trial' provision in the Sixth Amendment. I would imagine that Trump's attorneys will try and gum up the works with every procedural trick in the book. I also would be surprised if the judge puts up with much nonsense on that front.

I look at it this way - the judge won't want to get reversed on appeal, but everyone in that building will also want the circus out of it ASAP.

Or just pardon himself. There's nothing that says he can't do it.
