AMEN!! Trumps DESERVES to be President again after getting ROYALLY SCREWED!
At least in this case. Smith still hasn't shown his hand in the January 6th case which will be tried in the DC circuit.
“”but they sure have that lawfare thing mastered.””
This is what you get when the ruling class is nothing but professional career lawyer politicians.
“The RATS are great at judge shopping.”
And judge bribing. And judge threatening. I wonder how many horse’s heads have been delivered that we’ll never know about.
Geraghty missed the most important legal reason for the DOJ’s indicting Trump in FL—it had no other legal option, as required be Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution, which states:
“The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment;
shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State
where the said Crimes shall have been committed[.]”
“DJT has the right to waive a speedy trial, and that would move it until after the election.”
Wrong move. He would have no control over the actual date and they’d make shock sure it was right ‘before’ the election.
He needs to get this over with quickly so the public perception damage can be healed or lessened.
“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the indictment of rival Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump saying there had been double standards in issuing charges.
“DeSantis also promised to fire FBI chief Christopher Wray as one of his first acts as President if elected - while suggesting that if Trump had been charged with crimes - then Hillary Clinton should have also faced charges.
‘With me, you know, you’ll have a new FBI Director on day one. We’ll clean out all these agencies on day one. We’re going to have a major overhaul.”
Central you are pedding BS as usual. You have zero credibility and are embarrasing yourself.
Give it up.
Florida statutes 934.03-934.09 say for a person to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication when all of the parties to the communication have given prior consent to such interception. (e) It is unlawful to intercept any wire, oral, or electronic communication for the purpose of committing any criminal act.
The supposed recording was illegal and should not be admitted into evidence.
At least 12 Miami federal grand jurors just indicted Trump on every charge presented to it by a Hard Left fanatic prosecutor.
We do not know what percentage the grand jury vote was, but we can be absolutely certain that the Department of Justice believed that a Miami grand jury would indict on every charge presented to it.
In the 2020 election, Trump lost Miami-Dade County by 7.3%.
My prediction - the best Miami outcome Conservatives can hope for is a hung jury on all charges.
Trump is not charged with state crimes.
All the charges are federal.
They are going to indict him in Washington DC as well which is obvious overkill.
This is an all out attack on conservative Americans that is not an exaggeration these charges are ridiculous from top to bottom even if he were guilty they are of no consequence and never would have been brought in any other case.
You’ve gotta give Rat Party Headquarters credit...they’re clearly utterly depraved and amoral...but they sure have that lawfare thing mastered.

It’s clearly a political prosecution...in a long line of political prosecutions. Donald Trump can easily use this to his advantage as our legal (and political) system is looking Third-World to all but the most partisan hacks.
“Trump is not charged with state crimes. All the charges are federal.”
Doesn’t matter. The evidence they’re using was obtained illegally unless the person recording had a warrant. Now perhaps the corrupt prosecution will backdate a document and claim that person was deputized in a criminal investigation and was working undercover. But Florida is a two-party consent state. That means the recording was illegal and cannot be used as evidence.
My point is that the critical evidence of a supposed recording, which is probably made up based on the witness they’ve turned, is not even legal in the first place.
They basically turned a witness with a plea deal saying that unless they have his full cooperation he’s going to prison. So they flipped him and got him to provide his recollection of a conversation which is probably faulty. Then they claim to have a recording and provide a transcript of a nonexistent recording.
I highly doubt the recording even exists. But if it does, it would have required a warrant in order to be legally admissible. The exception might be that it supposedly corroborates sworn testimony, but a judge would usually toss it. It certainly does not meet the high bar of unimpeachable evidence for the bombastic accusations being made against a former president whom the people have trusted with all of the government’s secrets.
I certainly hope he’s right. But Mark Levin was less optimistic when he noted that it takes a simple majority (17) to indict.
Biden is cranking up the pressure on the DOJ to take Trump out asap he knows indictments on him are nearing on his family syndicate business he has to make sure a democrat gets elected it’s the only thing that save him and family from prison.
More money floating around D.C. than in Vegas now making the election rigging look like a craps game.
His body man foolishly talked to the FBI and denied knowing anything about the boxes moving even though it would have been on video that he moved boxes. They are suggesting in the indictment Trump told him to lie about the boxes but don’t outright say it. That’s the “conspiracy” to keep a Trump lawyer in the dark about more boxes in the residence.
Does it suggest criminal intent? It’s hard to find. Trump clearly cares about the documents and is slowly going through the boxes himself in the residence. He didn’t want his lawyers digging through them. They are suggesting he played his lawyers without any explanation as to why. He asked for legal advice. Nothing was destroyed. He didn’t sell secrets to China or whoever.
My concern is you almost have to feel he must be guilty to make some of the leaps they are asking. It doesn’t help they misconstrued a statute in two of the charges. There’s some overreach here but I am not saying he did nothing wrong because I need more facts about what rights he possessed over documents taken with him.
It’s disappointing this seems more politically motivated than about protecting the United States. Isn’t that the point of starting off the document by listing candidate Trump’s campaign promises? We just need to feel certain Trump, leading candidate to oppose the sitting Democrat president, is being treated fairly which has a high burden given the history of russia hoax, etc.
You are assuming that Trump did not know he was being recorded. Since the purpose of the meeting was to interview him for a book that was being written about Mark Meadows, I have no doubt that he knew he was being recorded. Trump has been interviewed for enough articles and books to know that it is standard practice to record them (no one takes shorthand anymore). In fact, I am pretty confident that the tape itself will have an acknowledgment by Trump that he knows he is being recorded, as protection for the writer so he didn’t get sued later.
DeTurdBag followers are the embarassment.
