I don't know why this would be a surprise. The legal argument for moving his case to the Federal courts is that he was functioning as an executive branch official -- which means (by definition) that he was answering to the President at the time.
The answer is NO.
To hell with the Trump haters at Hot Air. May they be totally deflated and swept into the dustbin of history. A pox on their organization.
“Many of the other co-defendants are complaining that Trump isn’t helping with legal bills”
Oh, so he isn’t setting himself up for another azz rape charge based on his “paying co-defendants to not testify against him”?
Childish analysis.
there is nothing illegal about alternative electors
raffenberger has already said that Trump did not ask him to do anything illegal
would paying co-defendant legal bills be considered witness tampering?
Probably, nearly every other former Trump appoint he has turn on him.
I left Hot Air four years ago and will never go back.
Not a single actual “crime” anywhere in this article.
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.
Sing about what? No crime was committed.
Mark Meadows ... another dis-appointment
Trump said flipping ought to be illegal. i don’t know about that but any flipped testimony should be thrown out of court.
Any that “Flip” against our PDJT, The GOAT will really want to leave the country.
Their careers and public lives Wil be over, For them and their families.
Examples:
Michael Cohen
Krispy Kreme Christie
Mike Pence
If Trump did nothing wrong then there’s nothing to flip on. Trump can be an ass and has been but that’s also a requirement in today’s politics but that’s not a crime.
there is nothing to “flip”, the entire case is based on that phone call which was recorded.
When all of these lawyers were indicted I predicted that they would plead to misdemeanors, take a year suspension of their licenses and testify for the prosecution.
These lawyers need to keep their licenses to keep eating. They will not risk disbarment for anyone.
