If you have been following Conservative media recently on the subject of the Donald Trump/Stormy Daniels trial in New York City, you have probably heard numerous commentators express the opinion that, even though Alvin Bragg’s case against President Donald Trump is largely falling apart, the fact that he is being tried by a highly biased jury, he will be convicted nonetheless. I can only say that if you are a Democrat you should be crossing your fingers that this does not happen. Let me explain why….
It’s very clear that the initial Democrat strategy to take down Trump was to engage in a shock and awe lawfare campaign by utilizing Democrat state and federal prosecutors to file so many criminal charges against the former president that the GOP would have no choice but to abandon him. Their miscalculation however, was confusing the weak-kneed Republican ruling class with the hardcore conservative base that had long ago realized that the deep state would do anything to maintain power—the voters consequently embraced Trump, despite the multiple charges, and handed him the party’s nomination.
Now, if Alvin Bragg had charged Trump with a single felony count of [blah, blah, blah] and a jury had convicted him, the judge in the case could have sentenced Trump to probation and a substantial fine, perhaps even requiring him not to leave the state or at least having him check-in in-person with his probation officer on a regular basis, which would have allowed Democrats to significantly impede the Trump campaign. Additionally, it would allow the Democrats to run advertisements claiming that Donald Trump was a “convicted felon.”
But because TDS is real and the concept of “nuance” is completely lost on liberals, they instead charged ahead like a bull in a china shop with 34 felony indictments

Consider, if Trump is convicted of 34 felonies, offering a lenient sentence such as probation would be prima facie evidence that the case were overcharged, especially if the judge postponed sentencing pending appeal. Find me another person convicted of 34 felonies in a single trial anywhere in the U.S. who wasn’t immediately remanded to prison and…well, find that person first and we’ll discuss it further.
These judges and prosecutors better start to think what can happen to them. The worm is turning!!
It’s just a big funny game to them. But in a country of 320 million people, there’s going to be someone who doesn’t think it’s quite as funny. I am
The new left always, without fail, overplays its hand.
They seem incapable of learning from this.
Is there any chance at all that if President Trump is convicted in this sham trial, that the sham judge will postpone sentencing pending the outcome of appeals? All appeals? Is that typically done and under what circumstances are sentences postponed, pending exhaustion of appeals?
Not an attorney...
It is their hubris.
No. The appeal will come after he is sentenced.
The vast indoctrination machine does not teach critical thinking; it teaches extreme anger and dramatic performative response. Subtlety is lost on them because they teach people to be stupid, and the narrative can only be presented to the stupid in the most simplistic terms
I am not sure no matter how he rules he’s not in a lot of danger. So for example he dismissed the entire case for some reason. Do you know how many hard-core leftists would be after this judge? There was a democrat/communist guy who went to the supreme court justices house (Kavenaugh?) with a knife and a rope to kill him.
I just know I would stand far away and cringe every time he starts his car.
Nasty times feel so close.
Think about the word “lawfare”. It’s a play on the word warfare. The Democrats giggle and think it’s fun doing lawfare. In such a big country, it’s a near certainty that there’s somebody else who will take it into another theater of operations. There is nothing so dangerous as an obviously corrupt judicial system. Because when people cannot get relief, they will seek other avenues. It’s been repeated hundreds of times around the world.
Correct. When people think the system is against them or will not help them, they will take matters into their own hands. Ivermectin comes to mind.
The judge is going to insist on completing the court case, and then he’s going to insist that that Trump be found guilty. Then he’s democrats will be able to say that Trump was convicted in a court of law, which is what they’ve been after for many years against Trump. Nothing but guilty will be allowed, even in this sham case.
I wonder, if Bragg is removed or significantly damaged by his anti-Trump actions in the classified documents trial, what effect will that have on the credibility of prosecutors in the other cases?
Exactly. And there is nothing more dangerous than creating the mass impression that the judicial system is completely rigged in favor of one political party. A perception of fairness is why people take rulings against them begrudgingly and accept them.
Take that away, and you have Venezuela or Colombia.
There are enough loose canons ...
I don't know, it seems to me that they usually get what they want no matter how bad for the country/world.
When Trump is elected, I want to see him establish an Office of Revenge. They (the targets) know who they are..
If lawfare doesn’t work, they will kill him. Or at least try.
That’s pretty evident. About the time all this “Trump will be jailed for contempt nonsense,” Democrats in the House were trying to push through legislation that would deny him SS protection if put in jail.
“These judges and prosecutors better start to think what can happen to them. The worm is turning!!”
I think even the deep state is finally realizing that the left went too far and they want to extricate themselves from all this crap prior to the election.
Indeed...they really do live in a bubble and think that this is all funny. They believe this is all clever too.
It’s neither and only displays what ugly human beings they really are, without them even realizing it.
They don’t understand how seriously some people will take it.
