I can believe that’s what the judge wants, but he may realize that would be foolish. Bank it? It’s possible but by no means certain. One way to look at it is, why would he want to keep making Trump stronger?
Just thought I’d throw this out there, because I haven’t heard it brought up much since the verdict was announced. We still have the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity pending. It’s possible that the New York ruling could be at least partially reversed by that ruling. I don’t think it’s likely, but it is possible. The decision is expected to be announced some time this month.
He can debate him from jail.
They had best be VERY careful in wishing for CW II!
And if you are like me, you don’t have absolute faith in Hostin’s accuracy.
The View is not exactly confidence inspiring. Verify everything.
This is all true, but my point is how botched up is a system that can produce this sort of result.
Lawfare, by its very nature, is corrupt. The prosecutor brought a case that was crap, and the judge presided over a show trial.
I doubt an appeal to the First Department in Manhatttan will succeed. I think the apppeal to the NY Court of Appeals has a reasonable chance of succeeding after the election. If I were New York I would not want to find out what Scotus would say.
Judges are Kings. They make laws from their throne whenever they choose to do so.
Corrupt judges do corrupt things.
They are funded by the legislature. The legislature is reelected at an astounding rate. They are the best legislators money can buy. The executive branch does not enforce laws when corruption is evident to all who are not blind. It is not the system (i.e. the Common Law system as opposed to the Civil Code system) that is at fault. It is having, tolerating, and even rewarding corrupt people in the system. With the way the government, all three branches, functions, I have little hope that the swamp gets drained. I hope I'm wrong.
I meant you can bank the rat Judge wants to remove Trump from the election.
Agree.
Are you defending hilLIARy???
Its now or never they will implement a scorched earth policy
That’s a solid ….. NO F**KING WAY
Pointing out the unjust, justice system.
Manafort went to prison because he didn’t/couldn’t info to get Pres Trump. The activities they went him for, we’re done working with Podesta’s. Who were doing the same things he was doing. Podesta’s were allowed to backdate documents and amend taxes.
See my reply to that here
Point taken!
Yes it was (essentially) the same thing.
She classified payments for creating the Russia collusion hoax as ‘legal expense’, the same thing they accused Trump of doing.
The matter of who can legally prosecute such a thing has never been a concern for democrats, and is not relevant to my point.
