What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

I know he has the spine of a jellyfish, and the Republicans in general have become a demented cabal of cowards and liars, but his brown-nosing is at another level. It doesn't even feel genuine. It's like he does it because he's blackmailed.

You'd have to wonder what the Trumpanzee's have on him. It isn't the gay thing, no-one cares about that. It's either something very illegal or something very funny, either way it would probably be enough to end conservatives voting for him.

My guess (and this is purely wild speculation and in no way a truth) is that he was discovered in a compromising position with a very large, black tranny receiving what can be best described as a "piledriver".

Classless as always Nancy.

Trump doesnt have to prove his innocence, the prosecution have to prove his guilt, and they wont be able to.

To borrow a quote from the left this case is a Nothing Burger.

I didnt hear Nancy calling for the prosecution of insider traders or former Presidential war criminals or indeed Epsteins clients.

Thats now how courts work and you know it.

Alot of case that go to trial are not won by the prosecution, this is merely a PR stunt.

Except Cohen was prosecuted for the same battery of crimes already.

And that is how grand juries work. Prosecutors present their best case, absent cross or counter. It has to be voted on by a grand jury and even then they don’t bring many cases to indictment. Here they brought a staggering 34 counts and you haven’t even seen the charges or documents yet. But we have seen Cohen go to jail as explained by his activities with Individual One, aka. Donald J Trump.

The idea of the right to a trial to prove innocence isn't about the defendant having to prove that they are innocent. The idea is that an innocent person frequently welcomes a trial, especially if there has been a lot of publicity around them being accused of a crime, so that they can prove in a court of law that they are not guilty. Which is why "everyone has the right to a trial to prove their innocence" is a common turn of phrase, at least in the US.

One can't honestly support TFG and look themselves in the mirror when they accuse someone else for being 'classless.'

And this:

Even this:

Actually, I think we know who doesn't know how courts work here. The worst thing an attorney can do, is waste a judge's time. Years of careful investigation resulting in 34 indictments isn't a PR stunt, no matter how much your handlers on Fox would like you to believe that.

Sadly, I knew someone in politics who turned out to be a dirty actor and was indicted on 20 counts. This was in Hudson county, NJ, a notoriously corrupt county. Well, despite his protestations that it was just a political stunt to get him out of office, he served 4 years in prison (note: Felons go to prison, not Jail in the US, which is much worse, both far worse than in Ireland. Jail's only for up to 1 year.)

And his life was ruined - pension gone, now living on social security, from being a 'big shot' to just another elderly in Florida.

Thats how Grand Juries work which you obviously have no clue about, for a grand jury to indict on 1 count let alone 34 takes a hell of a lot of evidence. And as many have pointed out Cohen has already been convicted for literally the exact same crimes.

And who could forget this Bonespurs classic?

If they've waited all this time to build the case against him, I would be surprised if it wasn't a very strong one.

His Mugshot on a T-Shirt will be a nice little earner I'd say.

There is an election next year, thats the main reason for Bragg acting now.

If the charges relate to violating campaign finance law then they are going to be very very difficult to prove in court.

A settlement payment of a nuisance claim is not a federal campaign expense and a state DA has no authority to prosecute a federal campaign finance violation in any event.

The settlement was ultimately paid out of Trump's personal funds and had nothing to do with the campaign since the one-night stand occurred 10 years before the campaign.

The previous case against John Edwards failed and that was a much stronger case.

Edwards campaign donors paid up to $1 million to Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, while she was working for Edwards during his Presidential campaign.

On the other hand Stormy Daniels had no connection to Trumps Presidential campaign of any kind and the encounter didn't happen during the campaign itself. Trump paid the 130k in personal funds though Cohen.

There really isnt a case here.

'cause they're all on the Soros payroll, duh.

Oh is that what it said in the indictment you haven’t seen yet

Donald will throw who ever he needs to under the bus to save his own orange skin.

I wonder will he be offered a plea deal?
