It implies that you should STFU

[Dr. Strangelove]

Bottom line after today is that this is a weak case based on facts that have long been established. There isn't even another in-person hearing until December 4th. If Trump's going to be indicted in any of the other bigger investigations, it's almost certainly going to happen before then. Especially Atlanta.

What are you trying to say?

I just find it ironic that Trump has been indicted on charges that could land him in prison for 134 years ... and yet after the hearing he hopped on his Boeing 767 and flew back to Florida.

Those who thought he might be perp walked to a car and out to Rikers Island must be horribly disappointed.

I was also wondering, .. what if Trump is found guilty and sentenced to prison? As a former President, he's entitled to Secret Service protection for the rest of his life. Would Secret Service agents be incarcerated with him?

Can anyone figure out what is happening in this picture?

Democrat obliterated the Wisconsin Republican Supreme Court choice tonight. Will result in a liberal majority court. All thanks to the Dobbs decision.

So Obama's got SS protection for about 4 more years. Interesting.

The Bragg indictment is what you'd expect it to be. Hot fucking garbage.

Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen in monthly installments during 2017 for the $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels right before the 2016 election for her silence about an alleged affair. That, in reality, is a single transaction: Trump paying back a debt to Cohen. Yet, because Trump paid in installments and each installment includes an invoice from Cohen, a bookkeeping entry by the Trump Organization, and a payment to Cohen by check, Bragg not only charges each monthly installment separately; he subdivides the installments into installments (as if the invoice, book entry, and check were independent criminal events). Voilà, one transaction becomes 34 felonies!

And...

Here, the indictment fails to say what the crime is. Bragg says he is charging Trump with felony falsification of records, under Section 175.10 of New York’s penal code. To establish that offense, Bragg must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump caused a false entry to be made in his business records, and did so with an intent to defraud that specifically included trying to “commit another crime or aid or conceal the commission” of that other crime.

Nowhere in the indictment does the grand jury specify what other crime Trump fraudulently endeavored to commit or conceal by falsifying his records. That is an inexcusable failure of notice. The indictment fails to alert Trump of what laws he has violated, much less how he violated them. If any prosecutor were ever daft enough in the future to accuse Trump of falsifying records to conceal, say, a federal campaign-finance crime, Bragg’s indictment would be useless for double-jeopardy purposes because it doesn’t specify what criminal jeopardy Trump is in.

We needn’t speculate why Bragg is being so coy about this. He doesn’t have another crime. At his press conference, be blathered about federal campaign-finance law, but he knows he lacks jurisdiction to enforce federal law. He further mumbled something about state election laws, but those — as you might imagine — apply to elections for state office, not the presidency. And the DA’s stream of consciousness about Trump’s intent to defraud tax authorities is belied by the fact that he does not accuse Trump of evading taxes — despite having already prosecuted the Trump organization for tax evasion, a case that neither named Trump as a defendant nor cited the hush-money scheme as a source of tax crimes.

So, this bullshit, at the end of the day, just props up DJT and also sort of taints the other cases.

Great stuff from the Progs....again.

Just read through that as well. How soon can Trump's lawyers file a motion to dismiss?

[iam416]

As soon as they like. Whether the judge rules on it in a timely fashion is another story.

[Hannibal]

So, this bullshit,

So?
