Of Course They'll Put Trump in Jail
PJ Media ^ | 2 Jun, 2024 | VICTORIA TAFT

Posted on 06/03/2024 5:38:46 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Why wouldn't Judge Juan Merchan finish the job and add to the left's glee in calling Donald Trump a "convicted felon" by sentencing him to jail? That fact that Trump's sentencing is on July 11, mere days before the Republican National Convention, would not impede a judge who, according to Trump attorney Alina Habba, covered his mouth to laugh during his sentencing. It would be no impediment to the hand-picked jurist who allowed prosecutors to hide the underlying "crime" for the entire trial, hide witnesses, and overrule the majority of the defense objections in this goat rodeo.

What would stop him from jailing Trump?

The case has horrified believers in the rule of law, without which you cannot have a civil society. It has horrified people who barely paid attention to the trial but gave this judge the benefit of the doubt. Tens of millions of Americans know that this trumped-up case means prosecutors wouldn't hesitate to do the same to them.

Nobody is above the law, but Donald Trump is under it, as has been stated a lot recently with good reason.

Obama's former Svengali, David Axelrod, told HBO's Bill Maher that he didn't think it was a wise idea to put Trump in jail because "it would be worrisome for our country" and "MAGA nation would go nuts."

"I think there is something about jailing a former president, especially on something like this [and] worrisome for our country," he gamely said. "And I would really be shocked if this judge gave him a prison sentence for this." We'll wait for Axelrod's look of surprise when Trump is sentenced to jail.

the GOP stands around with their hands in their pockets like boy scouts unwilling to admit the Dems have declared WAR on the GOP.

War?

Did the Harlem Gobetrotters "declare war" on the Washington Generals?

This a plausible scenario. We may be watching the American experiment being killed off before our very eyes.

There is no way they will jail a President. Trump will win either way. The SCOTUS will step in long before that happens.

My initial response to that remark was “They can’t do that” but given this whole travesty and persecution of President Trump - why not?

Please stop bringing logic into this sensational event.

You are spoiling the mood.

They don't step in unless requested, and as of now they haven't been requested as my rights as a voter are impacted.

We’ll wait for Axelrod’s [ feigned ] look of surprise when Trump is sentenced to jail.

I wouldn’t be shocked. They’re just chomping at the bit to give him prison, just listen to the lefties. They can’t contain themselves. On top, they’d LOVE for Trump supporters to go wild. They’ll quickly label ‘treason’ on everyone and be happy to see executions.

...all while blind to the fact that THEY are the ones engaged in driving a banana republic, running kangaroo courts, and throwing political opponents in prison. Then say it’s to ‘protect democracy’ while destroying it. Then the marxists take over.

At some point the SHTF.

In the last 2 days there was a post that a leak said: the ‘judge’ would sentence DJT to one (1) year in prison at Rikers Island. Essentially a life sentence, as he will not emerge alive.

If a minor State court can try a Federal case, then they can certainly take away DJT’s federal SS protection.

Convicted class E felon charge no big deal.

Charged with 34 Federal counts of something (which was never actually defined), plus a tax charge which was never adjudicated.

Never happen as we are not France. We roll over and go back to sleep - only if the noise is loud enough.

Sentencing Trump to jail will trigger an immediate constitutional right to a petition for writ of habeas corpus in a federal district court.

False imprisonment is directly addressed by this constitutional right.

The left’s zeal for eliminating Trump is really its zeal for eliminating White/male/Christians, and Jews

If they do, it probably will be the first time in his life Justice Roberts has ever been in a jail cell because he’ll have to go there to administer the oath of office to Trump47.

After which, the Trumpster will pardon himself and walk out the door a free man (with vengeance on his mind).
