So … What Happens If Trump Is Convicted in His Hush-Money Case?

Is Trump planning to take revenge?

Trump has long teased that he will weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies if wins back the White House, and Rolling Stone reported last year that his team has already trained its crosshairs on Bragg. Their sights have continued to focus on the Manhattan district attorney as the case has progressed.

“Mark my word: Alvin Bragg, [prosecutor] Matthew Colangelo, and many others will face criminal prosecution,” Mike Davis, a lawyer and Trump ally, posted to X, formerly Twitter, in early May. (Members of Trump’s inner sanctum have frequently discussed Davis as a top contender for senior roles, including at the Justice Department, in a possible second Trump administration.)

Well leftist beotitches, I guess they never heard the saying,"what comes around goes around".

[GeorgiaDawg32]

It’s ok when they do it...for everyone else, not so much..

[chuckee]

Gee, I wonder what the common strain is here

Colorado Trump thrown off the ballot by 4 Dem majority judges and Dem AG prosecutor
Maine Trump thrown off the ballot by Dem Election Commissioner
DC Trump indicted and to be tried for insurrection before Dem judge with Dem AG prosecutor
Georgia Trump indicted for election interference by Dem Prosecutor
NY Trump indicted for business record fraud by Dem Prosecutor before Dem Asst Prosecutor Judge

Revenge is a waste of time, and it looks personal.

Systemic reform is where we ought to focus, and it has to be quick. Time is short.

The blind and sanctemonius, pure psychological projection is stunning to behold.

[Bshaw]

I for one think Merchan & daughter, Bragg, Willis, Wade, Colangelo, Weissmann, Strzok, Page, Comey, Clinton, the Russian Dossier operations team, Barr and all involved in the brushing of the massive 2020 election fraud under the rug will be arrested, confined and prosecuted into poverty and a cell.

All will occur after a massive purge at the FBI, Main DOJ and myriad other alphabet agencies.

In this, Trump’s success will be his revenge.

As the late great Rush used to say, in a war the enemy sets the terms of engagement. It’s a little like the apocryphal scene from “The Ten Commandments” when Ramesses declares he’s going to have all the firstborn slaughtered, and Moses realizes that it means all the Egyptian firstborn are going to die in what becomes Pesach. The left has decided, not only how they are going to treat us, but how they are about to be treated, not only by us but by a higher power.

[MattMusson]

What will happen? A fraction of the weaponization the Left used to crap on Conservatives will bounce back on the original senders.

[Bshaw]

“Revenge is a waste of time, and it looks personal.”

When a bully punches you in the face, you might try to talk to them about it after your black eye heals. That may well work.

If you stomp their di$k in the dirt, you’ll never have to have that conversation.

Too many hand-wringers on our side of the aisle is the problem.

Gonna see my smiling face on the cover of the Rolling Stone



I read this rag once in a while when I was in college but then, as now they were so politically clueless. Some things never change.🤦‍♂️

[fightin kentuckian]

If convicted, Trump will immediately go to jail. This is their only chance and they will NOT hesitate. He may be there for long enough to post bail for an appeal but he will in deed spend at least one nite in jail as a convicted felon.

[fruser1]

I bet guys in prison would actually wind up liking Trump.

If locked up, he should form an impromptu army, stage a break out and start the real insurrection.

Democrats don’t care about elections (unless they win), why should we?

[jerod]

The problem... He didn’t do any of that the first time he got elected. If Trump had cleaned the swamp, this nonsense would not be going on. Lets hope he does it this time.

[central_va]

I’m Spartacus kind of thing.

[Badboo]

The exact same thing if he is not convicted - Trump will not have a second term. Freepers need to get a grip and let go of their unicorn.

The problem is that the Justice Department (like all parts of the Executive Branch) is infested with leftists who will not only not do Trump's bidding, they will actively work against his orders.

People refer to the Deep State - this is literally the Deep State. Unelected, entrenched bureaucrats in the three-letter departments of the Executive Branch who are going to do what they please, regardless of what any Republican president may want.

They just happen to coincide this time............. 🙄

[No name given]

I hope so.

[Verginius Rufus]

Democrats have to do all these things to protect democracy, because no one else will. How would democracy survive if it was just left to the uninformed masses to protect it?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Nope: The powers that be have all the power. Trump will be convicted, jailed, and killed in Jail (or hang himself). When this is done His family will be arrested, even Barron. The Media will cheer and the Ladies of the view dance as their audience cheer. Then they will seek to destroy Trump’s memory for fifty years—like they did to Hoover under FDR. The Media will make all who “brought Down” Trump as heroes like Woodward and Bernstein who took out Nixon. No revolt because WW III will be upon us and the nation will rally to the colors to defeat evil Hitler-Putin’s plan to rule the world.
A rich man will buy Mir-a-lago and tear it down, same with Trump Tower in a cheering New York. Any who put up statues to Trump will have angry “students” tear it down. When we win WW III a new woke world will be formed to bring Russia, now defeated, into the “Modern World.” No, If Trump is convicted its just the start of a chain of events that will ensure a Democrat century of misrule until the treasury runs dry and the money is worthless.
