Verdict reached in Trump hush money trial
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
But this case wasn't about voluntary sex with a porn star.
I think for a Class E felony like this, first time offenders normally don't get jail time
I knew Loomer was a bit of a nutjob, but does she not know how Treason is defined in the US?
News to me, bud. All the immigrants I know disrupted their lives and families to come here and search for something better and they care about Canada as much as anyone.
Quite the expert. Why don't you give us the stats and analysis?
Biden administration would love to turn off the tap, but the GOP won't vote for that because they want to use the border as an election issue.
Tell me that you don't understand the news without actually saying "I don't understand my own news programming".
By the books would mean he could go to jail for contempt, of course.
But I doubt he will get prison time.
If he does, it won't happen until after the election anyway, since I suspect the sentence will be held off pending appeals.
This is true,
Trump and the GOP have made their contempt for democracy clear for years now.
I remain hopeful that it can be saved, but it is far from a sure thing.
What rules have they changed, Eddie?
Probation is the range and the judge won't go outside the range. It would make Turnipman a martyr and would set up an easy appeal.
You don't understand anything about law, do you?
They're not changing the rules. It's just that Trump makes such an easy target to beat up on in court. It's so hard to resist.
Her whole career - like MTG - is about ranting nonsense to the Base. Why would she know how Treason is defined or even give a fuck?!
Isn't that usually dealt with by challenging the jury with actual evidence of bias before the trial, counsellor?
I don't recall the Trump legal team actually doing that. Hmmm.........
It's a state offence trial, genius.
It doesn't get to the USSC. It goes as far as the New York State Court of Appeal.
Another brilliant theory you gotta let go, huh?
Who really knows?? This loony and totally bias Judge Merchan, could sentence Trump to 10 years in jail, for all we know......LMAO
Trump's defence filed all these motions, before trial, and Merchan ignored all of them!! Trump's defence tried to get Merchan to recuse himself from the case, and he wouldn't recuse himself!!
I believe they did.
They filed for a change of venue and I am sure they challenged a number of jurors for cause and won at least a few of those.
I think there is a way to try and get it to SCOTUS.
I would like to hear how he thinks it would get there.
If there is a constitutional infringement, it can go there. But there appear to be no constitutional issues involved at all.
Which proves that the system worked for them.
It's hard to change venue from Manhattan. Change of venue usually occurs with stuff like a small town scam that affected every family and where no objective juror can be found. The most notorious change of venue case locally was the Demeter murder trial which was moved from Brampton to London because the Demeters were the local big shots of the time in Brampton and the community was polarized about the case.
Manhattan is so large and cosmopolitan that no single accused could impact the community in that way.
I am guessing that what Trump wanted to do is move it to some retirement community in the Adirondacks with a 90% GOP voting population.
Except it would. Maybe not as much as the GOP argued it wanted, but a whole lot.
So it's not Biden's fault. It's Trump's. Every Guatemalan that crosses the Rio Grande does so courtesy of Pumpkinface.
I agree 100%. My experience with immigrants is that they are harder working and more appreciative of Canada than most Canadians…especially the entitled white losers who were born here and blame immigrants for their own shitty choices in life.
