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

Love when secret US law experts pop up

You mean the ones who cut and paste from Uncle Angry Dan's semi-informed Facebook rant and pass it off as their own keen insights into US business law.

For many years this case, involving alleged bookkeeping issues in recording payments to ‘Stormy Daniels’ to buy her silence, had lingered unprosecuted for so long that the charges, low-level misdemeanors, no longer could be brought because time had expired.

But then along came Alvin Bragg, a Left-wing prosecutor who ran for office on the promise that he would do what prior prosecutors had failed to do, to get Donald Trump. The case was politically motivated from the start. To get Trump at all costs to try to stop his presidential campaign.

Yet to get the case to court, Bragg had to turn the charges into felonies, with longer time limits. So he invented a novel and untested legal theory, maligned even by liberal legal commentators, that the bookkeeping issues were to illegally influence an election – his own 2016 winning election.

There is nothing illegal about paying money to buy silence. It happens every day in court cases and business deals, where money is paid for non-disclosure agreements. And there is nothing illegal about politicians hiding their dirty laundry, happens every campaign. The bookkeeping issue was the hook to turn lawful political activity into a crime.

This case born in politics then turned into a circus. The trial judge, whose family had strong political ties to Democrats, issued ruling after ruling hamstringing Trump’s defense. The prosecution was allowed to play hide and seek with its legal theory of criminality, so much so that Trump never really knew what he was defending until the very end.

Then the judge issued jury instructions that seemed to fly in the face of our jurisprudence, by allowing the jury convict on felony charges without unanimous agreement as to what were the specific illegal acts to influence the election.

If you insist on charging a former president and clear front-runner in a presidential election, then you better be sure those charges are clear, concise, and legitimate. This was certainly not the case here. The jury was drawn from one of the most heavily Democrat jurisdictions in the country. So the likelihood of Trump prevailing always was slim.

A politically motivated prosecution by Democrat prosecutors presided over by a politically connected Democrat judge in a politically Democrat jurisdiction against the likely Republican presidential nominee in an election year. It smells rotten because it was rotten. The whole thing stinks.

Plagiarizing The Telegraph, I see. Nice. You could just link to the article and say "read this"

Only if a right wing racist politician does it, the drunken old fool likes to see his own protected.

You are and remain an idiot. This has nothing to do with Right or Left wings, for me it’s ensuring the USA maintains its standing in the World and at the moment every sensible person can see it’s reputation being destroyed by politicised Lawfare. Putin and co must be laughing their socks off by these actions, allowing despots to claim the moral high ground. How could the USA now possibly criticise Putin for his court actions against political opponents. Answers on a postage stamp…….

Pete, is there any crime you think Trump isn't above being prosecuted for?

Slippery slope this. Do democrats not think the next republican president, whoever that may be, is not going to come after them, now a precedents has been set? Feel like the west is just eating itself at the moment.

If said democrat has broke the law, so be it.

It will be interesting when Trump gets re-elected

They would need to "come after" Biden in such a way that generates enough evidence of a crime that it convinces an independent jury. Huffing and puffing about the Hunter Biden laptop on Fox News whilst simultaneously not coming up with any charges for impeachment doesn't point to that being a rich seam to mine for post-Presidential charges.

As an aside, Nana Akua made a right fool of herself on GB News this morning, asking whether this was all politically motiviated and "You never hear about Joe Biden's laptop any more". When her co-host corrected her that it was Hunter's laptop, she said "Yes, but it was found in Joe Biden's garage", to which she had to be corrected again that it had been handed in to a repair shop. These people are paid to "report" on the "news" without being apparently informed about any of it themselves.

Anyway, whatever happens in November, I do expect a retired Biden will have constant Republican attacks over even the most minor transgressions whilst in Office, but what Trump is consistently in legal jeopardy over is the attempted cover ups, not necessarily the activities themselves, so likely it will all be covered under his official acts and nothing will stick.

And if the Republicans do find evidence of a crime and a prosecutor thinks they'd win a trial on it and indicts Biden, good! Nobody is above the law and nobody should be so politically partisan they want to handwave things like that away.

It's amazing. The same lads seem to be expert Epidemiologists and often leading Climatologists too, it's mad that they haven't done better for themselves in life imo

@dylsexicbleu I believe we`ve found a playmate for you.

A lot of them are experts on running football clubs and the laws of finance too.

Posters who have refused to interact with me for months on the subject of Trump suddenly want my attention. Weird.

I remember one of these Financo-political Climatepidemiologists used to clean windows for a living. Now, I'm not trying to besmirch the noble guild of windowcleaners when I say this, but surely there was a better application of those skills

I think he’s an obnoxious idiot who should be nowhere near the Presidency. Having said that neither should Biden. If he’s broken the law then prosecute, but for gods sake do it in a way that at least looks impartial and not Democrat led. Optics are important, justice is supposed to be blind and this just blatantly isn’t imo…….

Perhaps if the GOP didn’t continually nominate a rapist crook then we might be not have the multiple trials?

I mean your implied suggestion that Trump is just an innocent man and it is all just political lawfare strains credulity. Did he just happen to choose a bunch of crooks to pal around with?



I mean are you claiming this just happened without his knowledge ?

How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business

Donald Trump is one of the least charitable billionaires in the world. Eric Trump is far more altruistic. In a clash of values, the president directed hundreds of thousands of dollars from his son's kids-with-cancer foundation into his company coffers.
