Trump has been convicted. Here's what happens next
CNBC (Business News) ^ | 30 May 2024 | Kevin Breuninger

Posted on 05/30/2024 3:04:54 PM PDT by zeestephen

The charges against Trump are Class E felonies, the least serious category under New York law...Experts tend to think it is highly unlikely that Trump will face any jail time as a result of the hush money verdict...Due to the immense and complex challenges of incarcerating a former president, the judge might instead opt for a sentence of house arrest...The U.S. Constitution...does not bar felons from holding its highest office.

So Trump wasn’t convicted for trying to hush pay Daniels? He was convicted for lying about it after the fact?

Okay, I expected this result but I’m still livid about it. Trump campaign will get dollars from me, my vote, and I will boycott everything in or from New York that I reasonably can. Not addressed is the appeal process which should be expedited since it potentially affects the entire nation. Congress also needs to look into how to prevent the “Bad Apple” from ruining the entire nation.

yeah, if they can’t stand the heat, they should have gotten themselves off this jury and it would’ve been easy to do that. They weren’t intimidated at all, they were willing railroaders.

Alan Dershowitz and Harmit Dillon both said that appealing in NY state will be impossible for Trump to win and the Supreme Court appeal is years off IF they take the case. All of it will occur long after the election. Sentencing is in July a few days before the Republican convention. All according to plan.

Trump has had good success in the NY state courts. He will be at large pending his appeal regardless of Merchan's sentence. It would be even more embarassing if they continue this charade after he becomes President-elect. If NY's top court let's this stand, and appeal can be taken to SCOTUS. If they decline jurisdiction then, Trump will file a habeas corpus case in U.S. District Court somewhere and then it goes up the federal appellate courts that way. Congress can also act to deny state court's jurisdiction over federal election law, etc.

Wishful thinking if you think they won’t jail the man. Don’t think for a minute that little hobgoblin weasel judge wouldn’t order him flogged and guillotined if he had the authority to do it, much less jail him.

He is getting more free campaign time with this than he could ever have bought.

A lot of people made up their minds today and campaigns will have little impact especially since the rats have (coincidentally) announced they will anoint pudding head ahead of the convention.

The choice has never become more stark.

We're not as beat as you think. I was at J6 with hundreds of thousands of other patriots. We'll go again. When the straw that breaks the camel's back is piled on, we'll be ready. Maybe even a bit anxious for it.

“Sentencing is on July 11, four days before the GOP convention “

Set and match. All appeals start in NY. Years if ever before it gets to SC. DeSantis should have stayed in the wings to be the revenge candidate.

Sounds great and nothing is impossible with God but He cannot bless a nation with the innocent blood of so many millions of babies on its hands. We are also the world’s number 1 importer of child sex slaves, producers of child porn and users of illicit drugs. I fear It is going to get unimaginably worse than anyone thinks. Satan is in the driver’s seat but just for a for a time. Pray for fidelity in the midst of intensifying persecution.

The straw that broke the camels back was the stolen election, we rose up and we were put on notice with threats of nuclear weapons and F15s. That should have been the straw that broke the camels back.

They all had a choice to recuse themselves, citing threats as a reason not to serve on the jury.

Re: "When you find an article from a credible source I may read it."

CNBC is the #3 most visited English language business news website in the world.

Why would a consequential Conservative NOT want to know what they are thinking?
