Very good you did not include the word Republic as in banana republics. We are just a banana if Biden is allowed to prosecute his opponent in next election.
It was nice knowing you USA which operated as constitutional Republic since George Washington was president.
I left Hot Air four years ago and will never go back.
Trump held a fundraiser for Rudy and the others.
Not a single actual “crime” anywhere in this article.
Didn’t I see them pushing this story a month or two ago?
Repeating it isn’t going to make it come true.
Trump is spending plenty of money on his own court issues. Why would anyone think he should pay for anyone else’s
For those believers in the judicial system, let me share an insight known well to experienced judges and lawyers. A criminal case can be rigged for conviction in ways that are hard to overturn on appeal. A determined and unethical prosecution with a compliant judge can constrain the defense, fashion a superficially strong case, and pack the jury with members inclined to convict.
Small unspoken signs of favor and disfavor by a judge can also easily prejudice even a fair and neutral jury. All it takes is for the judge to look interested and have a slight smile when the prosecution puts on their case, but then to lean back and frown when the defense puts witnesses on and speaks. In an intimidating environment with a challenging task, even honest jurors tend to look to the judge for signs of how they should assess the case before them. Good judges know this and are utterly neutral and unreadable in court room manner.
Since none of that normally appears on the record, defense attorneys have to challenge the judge and put the signs of prejudice on the record. Most attorneys would rather chew off their thumbs than do that because they know that even an eventual favorable ruling on appeal will risk wide dislike of them by other judges.
I hope some investigative reporter starts digging into his harem. He was known in DC to hire young pretty girls as his assistants. He could be their father or even their grandfather, which creeps me out.
That's only when a Republican is doing the questioning. If THEY do it, it's "democracy", and perfectly legal.
It’s better than nothing but a few hundred thousand compared to 10s of motion legal fees is not much
In Rudy’s case it’s Trump that owes him money
I prefer mine stage 3.
Sing about what? No crime was committed.
Trump is holding fundraisers at his New Jersey club for Rudy.
That’s great but Trump owes Giuliani several million dollars over his work after the 2020 election and so far reports are Trump is refusing to pay him
Mark Meadows ... another dis-appointment
If he pays him now, it would look like witness tampering. The fundraisers are dinners for the donor class. I’m sure they’ll raise a substantial sum of money.
politico is most likely a mockingbird led production. That means it hates Trump most of the time and than pretends to be fair and balanced some of the time. Don’t trust a thing they do.
Trump said flipping ought to be illegal. i don’t know about that but any flipped testimony should be thrown out of court.
Unless Rudy flips on Trump, he wouldn’t be a witness and I don’t how it would be considered tampering.
Trump is paying the legal bills of some of the other defendants, what I can’t figure why is Rudy one of the exceptions.
