The rest of the Republican current and former office holders will fall into one of the following groups:
BTTT
Much like the claim that the 2020 election was the purest ever, these lawfare charges are totally bogus.
Half of America knows that the Deep State needs to be kicked to the curb.
The criminal justice system in America has run amok. It’s long past time to reign it in to constitutional norms, and provide new rights of appeal to the accused to end vexatious criminal prosecutions.
This will be as big to Dems as the abortion bills.
They will need to get each and every elected Republican official on the record as to what they think about what happened to Trump after the case is settled.
There will be some who will go full-Trump-supporter, and many of these might surprise us. Calculations will be made, and those who think that Trump will eventually prevail will want to be on his side when the dust settles.
That this case could even begin to get this far is the death of the country.
The basis for it is the very definition of a “trumped up” phony charge, to use the obvious pun. And that is precisely why the Founders went to great lengths to prevent such things in the Constitution. This one is close to a Bill of Attainder, but not quite.
That petty officers could engage in such a frontal assault on the Federal Executive - and Trump is definitely one of a small group of people who have stood at the top of that - is an insult to the system that smacks of the tactics of the English Crown. It should not stand.
Certainly, such a strained reasoning to arrive at a “crime” when the current occupant of the White Hut has casually admitted to major felonies associated with the Espionage Act but not been prosecuted is a shocking in its hypocrisy and hubris.
The trial should be ended before it starts, and the participants rebuked and prevented from using state power ever again.
Anything they say.do.Try...is a lie and made up to get him out of their global dream.. While they give Joe and Hunter a huge pass over criminal acts.
If God has not dealt with them before Trump is back.. They all will be fired in 2025.
When I was a schoolboy, I remember the story of President Andrew Johnson, and I was horrified by the way he was ill-used by the politicians, even impeaching him for political reasons. I thought it could never happen again, that we were too advanced. I was wrong.
“ I fully expect DeSantis to do that.”
Would you kindly state just one example of DeSantis defending Trump on anything
It might make Chip Roy happy.
If York is correct, Trump will be easily acquitted.
Republican cowards say nothing.
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.
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?
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.
“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
Manhattan?
Guilty verdict has already been decided.
