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

Except when the lawyers produce proof that they told him it was all bogus.

Rudy said something like "we have theories, we just don't have the evidence".

If you said you relied on that as "legal advice", you're f**ked!

A huge portion? Sure you just mean 'A portion', the portion is certainly not huge.

Not to mention the numerous phone calls where Trump was on the phone with election officials, testimony from the likes of Meadows and Pence which will likely explicitly demonstrate that Trump was directing traffic, and the simple fact that Trump hired his lawyers for the exact purpose of what they're now being charged with (he just thought they'd get away with it).

Saw a legal commentator on the CBS stream last night point out that while there is a defence of taking your counsel's advice and it being wrong, that doesn't apply in this case, particularly as his counsel are co-conspirators in the same case.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how deep they are in the cult; sacrifice themselves at the altar of Trump to protect him in the hopes he becomes President again and pardons them, or will seeing him throwing them under the bus make any of them decide to try save their own skin and turn on him?

Only downside of all this going on right now, is the late night chat shows in America are off air as this goes down. They’d be having a ball with this which trump wouldn’t like at all.

It doesnt matter what I believe, all that should matter is that the man is innocent until proven guilty and he should get a fair trial.

Jack Smith has been proven to be an overzealous and poor prosecutor.

The Robert McDonnell case was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in a unanimous 8-0 decision. The Court declared “there is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that. But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the Government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute.”. The High Court also rebuked Smith and warned that “the uncontrolled power of criminal prosecutors is a threat to our separation of powers.”

Jack Smith lost the John Edwards case.

He is a prosecutor known for taking laws and pushing the boundaries as far as he can, often contorting laws, and often going behind attorney client privilege.

Smiths as special counsel is extremely biased, the whole purpose of a special counsel is to appoint an external lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking.

This is not the case here, Smith is not impartial, he isnt an outsider.

A biased judge and a biased jury is also guaranteed in DC.

Its another Kangaroo court.

Yes, but you can bet your behind that all the pro-Trump tweeters/bloggers etc. are pushing the Robert McDonnell/John Edwards line today.

You can also bet your behind that none of them had heard of either of those two cases until it became necessary to cast doubt on Smith as a prosecutor.

No parody could ever come close to the reality of this.

The sheer stupidity of the people who vote for this man never ceases to amaze and is an utter indictment of American (lack of) education

Yeh, yeh...but half of America is going to vote for him this time around. 🤣

If you think I didnt know who John Edwards is before Jack Smith was appointed then you are 100% incorrect.
