    Does anyone think this will only make Trump stronger in the elections?

    He and his supporters will use this as much as possible…Drain the swap and all that

    You seem confused. This is due process to Trump who is a rapist and fraudster, someone who tried to steal an election and ignores any law that gets in his way.

    Or do you think Trump should be able to commit illegal acts and not be held to account?

    Meanwhile in Putins Russia Trump would already have died via an open window, stair fall, heart attack or plane crash. Taje your pick.

    That might be what think you did.

    Having seen your previous
    attempts at defences of Trump that counts for exactly nothing. If you
    cant be bothered reference these old posts aint nobody else going to do
    it for you.

    All I see are simple questions put to you and dodged
    here and now. I expect your previous 'explanations' similarly dont stand
    up to any scrutiny.

    He was found guilty in court on all 34 legal charges. Your claims have no standing or foundation in comparison to that.

    You
    said the trial was unfair. Old posts cannot speak to that given the
    trial hasnt been running that long. You have provided no attempt, no
    evidence to show that the trial was unfair. So your claim is without
    basis and without merit.

    Still you trot out any excuse to defend
    the rapist. All the while pretending you are not a Trump defender and
    fooling no one except yourself in doing so.

    Did Trump do the things he was convicted for?

    Should politicians be able to conduct the campaign like that without consequence?

    You
    seem to be arguing Trump should be allowed to get away with illegal
    conduct because he is Trump. Which would in fact be political thing to
    do.

    Im not going back through my lengthy posts on this topic just to appease you.

    You know well I have already explained why this case was a witch hunt and a kangaroo court.

    Ive said multiple times that I dont want Trump to be the next President, and the reasons why.

    However I want to see fair courts in the US but these cases against Trump are witchhunts, artificially constructed cases by a biased Attorney General whose main campaign promise was to jail trump.

    Does anyone think this will only make Trump stronger in the elections?

    He and his supporters will use this as much as possible…Drain the swap and all that

    Its quite possible.

    Trump will make up reasons - His lawyers looked to have the case thrown out for some reason or other virtually every day of the trial.

    But my guess is that they'll try the "Weinstein defence" where they'll claim that because the Judge said that he'd allow the Prosecution to ask Trump about other cases/crimes that it made it impossible for him to testify in his own defence and as a result impacting the findings.

    It worked for Weinstein I guess.

    She's had grounds for divorce for years. She knows that her husband was with Stormy but maybe Melania wants a second shot at FLOTUS.

    There isn't a single personal attack in the quoted post. The poster is simply challenging your continual nonsense. I cannot remember a single time where you actually added anything constructive to this thread. All you do is drop weird statements that you then can't back up with any sort of rationale and evidence, and get defensive when someone questions you. I don't know why I'm even bothering trying to engage with you. My bad, really.

    The following article was written by Professor Noah Feldman of Harvard and published earlier this year. Click on "Are you a robot?" and the link will appear.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-02-29/the-supreme-court-isn-t-slow-walking-trump-s-jan-6-immunity-case

    Here's a summary of Feldman's article:

    It's inaccurate and unfair to say that SCOTUS is stalling for Trump's benefit.

    Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special prosecutor in the Jan 6th insurrection case on 18 Nov 2022. Smith's team indicted Trump on 1 Aug 2023. The delays might be justified by the goal of restoring the DOJ to an apolitical approach to both investigating and prosecuting.

    The immunity issue deserves serious airing.

    SCOTUS precedent: A sitting president is immune from civil suits for conduct performed within scope of duties while in office.

    Criminal suits are different but the reasons for that need clear articulation. If SCOTUS defers to the DC Circuit, that leaves open the issue of whether an ex-president outside DC could be criminally prosecuted. There's the meaningful question of the real-world, practical effects of allowing such charges. When Bill Clinton was president, judges didn't foresee the way the civil suit taken by Paula Jones against Clinton became part of investigations in the last 2 years of his presidency.

    SCOTUS has to consider the risk that a future president would criminally prosecute a predecessor.

    Summarily affirming the DC Circuit or refusing to hear Trump's case would've fallen short of the normal amount of care and attention afforded by SCOTUS even to cases of minor importance.

    Comparison: Nixon didn't turn over all materials to prosecutor Leon Jaworski.

    Contrast: Trump isn't violating a direct judicial order in the Jan 6th case and so he's exercising his constitutional right to bring an immunity claim to SCOTUS.

    It's not SCOTUS's responsibility to speed up the trial for it to happen before election. The timing was set by the Biden administration's decision not to appoint Jack Smith until long after Jan 6th.

    Have you ever stopped to wonder WHY New Yorkers hate him??

    They've ALWAYS hated him - They hated him when he was a Libertarian and they hated him he was a Democrat.

    Their reasons for hating him have nothing to do with politics.

    They hate him because they KNOW him.

    They know he's a dirty low down crook , they know that he has cheated his way to everything he has ever gotten in his life.

    Bear in mind , the general consensus was that this was the weakest of the multitude of cases against him and he's just been found guilty on all charges.

    Georgia up next I suspect.

    Time will indeed tell.

    The jury were never going to acquit Trump.

    They were selected to do a job and they did it.

    You're characterisation of him is based is off a corrupt justice system and media, who are out to get him.

    You know his defence had their say in jury selection, right? They only had to find one juror who didn't think he was guilty and trump would have got away with it. They couldn't even manage that.

    Larry Hogan a former Governer of Mary land and looking for a nomination for the Senate called for Americans "to respect the verdict and the legal process''. As well former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said ''the jury verdict should be respected''.

    id it time for Nickki Haley to reconsider her support for Trump or ask for the verdict to be respected. You could see support dwindle away over the couple of months
