If York is correct, Trump will be easily acquitted.

I don’t disagree with you, but what “new rights of appeal” would you propose?

I would propose something closer to summary judgement in a civil case than the usual motion to dismiss. That could be appealable before a trial is held. Appellate courts tend to dislike that kind of right, but when an individual is confronted with the power of the state, it is needed.

If this goes the wrong way and the red states take no action and it devolves to the populace to intervene, the 50 million illegals in country now will be soooo f’n sorry they ever left their home country shitholes which will look like paradise compared to what will be happening in the streets of America. It can and will happen here despite naysayers who believe the false leftwing meme we are all sheeple led sleepily to slaughter. Let the left continue to believe their own fairy tales. History is replete with people caught en masse with their pants down.

Right now, Bragg is the army the anti-Trump coalition has, and on Monday, they go to war.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Oh we are shaking in our bootz at these kangaroo courtz!!

Bragg does not know what war is.

Bragg's war will be a premature redaculation.

I bet the jurors will be characters........all Trump needs is one hold out for acquittal, and the odds are good.

It’s amazing to me the Republicans are such cowards. They stood by with their thumbs up their butts watching as these evil RATs destroyed Donald Trump and our country. At 77, this will be my last vote for President and it will be for Trump. I’m not voting for anyone else. To hell with them.

Good morning I hope you’re right about the Trump acquittal. He’s become much more than just a candidate for president to me over the years. The contrast of Biden not even in debating but in what Biden has done as a criminal is day and night since he was elected or supposedly elected. I’ve been saying, hang him by the neck to the death in a public square he deserves no less. Including others, the rest of his cabal

Like most analyses, this one leaves out a he two biggest weaknesses. First, the crime isn’t making false entries in a checkbook. It’s making those entries with the intent to defraud another or the government. Question: Who was defrauded? Bragg says that Trump’s books potentially could mislead state taxing authorities if they did an audit, but that argument fails bc regardless as to how the payments were characterized in the check ledgers, Trump gained no tax advantage. Bottom line: Would one really expect the ledger to read “payment for blackmail by porn star”. Trump’s motive was to hide the payment from his employees and the public, not to defraud.
Second, if you read the indictment, the crime of making a false entry did not occur until the year 2017. So how was Trump committing the crime with intent to commit a felony? Bragg argument is that he did it to conceal a campaign finance violation, but Trump had already won the election. And conceal it from who? His employees? State tax collectors?

Would you kindly state just one example of DeSantis defending Trump on anything

DeSantis comes to Trump’s defense after FBI search

DeSantis Goes on CNN to . . . Defend Trump

DeSantis Can’t Stop Defending His Biggest 2024 Rival"

DeSantis Defends Trump From Possible Jan. 6 Indictment

Now, why don't you just sit in the corner and let the real conservatives have a conversation?

Alan Dershowitz said last night on Newsmax in his 60 years of practicing law, he has never seen a weaker, more politically charged case than this one. The whole thing is a mockery of American jurisprudence.

Two of those are the same example from before DeSantis turned on Trump running against him at the behest of billionaire thugs

The other is behind a paywall and seems to be the same story and this one is DeSantis insulting Trump:

“The DeSantis campaign, courtesy of their online DeSantis War Room account, tweeted that the Trump team is “lying once again and purposely taking @RonDeSantis out of context.”

It does not paint DeSantis as the repentant Trump supporter. Definitely not a conservative as claimed

DeSantis supporters are invariably snarky though with their false claims.

“For the man behind the case, the elected Democratic district attorney of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, the trial is more than a trial. It’s a campaign promise kept.”

This is ultimately angry blacks “getting whitey”. There is no other scenario that remotely works. You elect these people thinking it’s “the right thing” and this sh!t starts. Every. Damn. Time.

You mean desantis say things in support of Trump, like he does the J6 people?

And are you going to be celebrating that Trump’s going to trial, and that it could expose Trump in such a bad light that he’ll lose the general election?

Democratic district attorney of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, the trial is more than a trial. It’s a campaign promise kept.

No matter how illegal it has to be it’s a democrat operation so it’s all okay.

Media approved

After Bragg indicted Trump DeSantis tweeted

“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society. We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation,” DeSantis tweeted.

“Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter? The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all,”
