Tacopina: If Trump Were Not Running for Presidency ‘He Would Not Have Been Indicted’
Breitbart ^ | 2 Apr 2023 | PAM KEY

Posted on 04/02/2023 10:11:22 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Trump attorney Joe Tacopina said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if former President Donald Trump were not running for 2024, he would not be facing an indictment in Manhattan.

Anchor Dana Bash said, “I’m going to speak to Michael Cohen’s attorney next. He says that there is actual evidence that your client, the former president, participated in falsifying business records. Have you seen any such evidence?”

Tacopina said, “Yeah. I know there’s no such evidence. I mean, look, Michael Cohen’s lawyers spitting Michael Cohen’s side. Michael Cohen is a pathological convicted liar.”

He added, “We are going to take the indictment, evaluate all our legal options and pursue everyone most vigorously. This is a case of political persecution. Had he not been running for office right now for the office of the presidency, which, by the way, the polls have shown since this has been announced, his numbers have gone up significantly. Had he not been running for presidency, he would not have been indicted.”

I don’t agree. I think if Trump quietly retired they would have moved on.

They want him to run, they want him to be the nominee because they have shown he is beatable. Twice.

He didn’t learn from his mistakes and so here we are: forced between supporting an unfairly targeted Trump (and by extension US) and saving America (and the opposition Party). Trump will be OK, convicted or not. We need to look at the bigger picture.

Hi.

I appreciate your opinion.

You do know the NYC DA, the January 6 inquisition and other legal matters followed the president before he announced again,right?

No matter, this indictment, along with the DoJ document fiasco will get traction if the slob Bragg fails.

All of this legal warfare is to influence a coming presidential election. Which is illegal if we weren’t a banana republic.

Imho.

“And if he was not indicted... he would not be so popular at the moment. Exactly what the DS, the Dems, Alvin all wanted - for the primary.”

LOL. You think the Dems want Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee?

They want him dead. If they can’t kill him, they don’t want him in the race. It is because they fear he may win that they are trying to manufacture a legal basis to keep him off the ballot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I don’t even remotely agree with you. Reading some of your posts, its clear you are clueless and a never Trumper.

You think Trump “lost” because of mean tweets...for shits sakes.

You simply do not get it. They would/will continue to go after Trump because he isn’t one of them. He is an outsider...not a member of the club and he can’t be bought. They are setting an example for ANY future outsider to heed.

“THIS is what we will do to you if you aren’t a member of the club”

Rush nailed this years before he died. He said they would continue to go after Trump, even out of office and once again, he was spot on.
