Imagine setting up this nation defining case and not doing any due diligence on who the prosecution attorneys are going to be. All the legal poo poo was always designed to be shoddy election fodder that'd just go away or implode as soon as the election is over because you don't actually want to punish trump.

Of all the many many crimes he probably (and actually) did while president and before/after, the best you got is a lame rear end sex affair payoff for a couple hundred dollars? Incredible two tiered "justice" system.

it should be impossible to lose that case. you read the statute on conspiracy to commit election fraud and then you play the tape of the phone call where he asks the Secretary of State to find him votes

and yet….

Yeah good thing dems didn't try to impeach him for this ridiculously flagrant election interference or prosecute him in any way. Just a big ol radio silence on the even more perfect phone call he made using heavily implied mafia tactics of demanding the secretary of state find the exact amount of votes he needed to win the state.

Lmao I got a week probe for posting in the dnd trunp legal thread that c*ons intentionally spiked the impeachment to go home early for the valentines weekend after they hosed around for a month doing nothing. I was being 'bad faith argumentative' and lying about what really happened.

I mean unironically yes. There is jurisprudence that hush money payments performed as campaign expenses are perfectly legal, see John Edward's cheating on his dying cancer wife and didn't see consequences because he smartly used campaign money.

I don't know how Edwards disclosed it, but I guess Trump not disclosing it was illegal. Again, it doesn't matter functionally as he isn't beholden to a donation limit to his own campaign, and payments can be masked through LLCs or any number of other means.

even with trump specifically, there's better examples of campaign finance violations. but they likely get too close to the grift for everyone else, and set a bad precedent to enforce.

This is how I feel about all of these stupid election interference cases. There's so many crimes but they hand picked a couple dumb ones like you said, to avoid anyone looking hard at what the uniparty themselves are guilty of. So loving wild that trump was right all this time about deep state election witch interference hunts, but for the not quite right reasons. Just looking to get their headlines and talking points for the election then quietly dismiss everything in December when nobody cares anymore.


Still think he should go to prison for the rest of his life for leading the funniest coup attempt in modern history though.

I think the wildest scenario would be biden getting a razor thin W, but there is obvious election fraud by democrat to get him over the Bernie weekend line as Republicans can't figure out how to actually reconcile genuine election theft after letting the crazies take off with it for the past 4 years. Meanwhile all the legacy media is doing wall to wall cover to gaslight, just like they are doing now with the Palestinian genocide.

Going back to the system of loser becomes the court jester would probably do gangbusters now that democrat don't even put in the effort to maintain the 2 party fiction.

It would arguably be the only enticing way to get me to vote blue this year. Just to see trump squirm in the vp seat, being smothered by the rotting corpse of biden.

The Georgia case seems to have real teeth and would probably have enough evidence to get a conviction.

But it's being prosecuted by a grandstanding nutcase. Not even because of the Trump trial, but what she did in the Atlanta Public School cheating case should have been permanently disqualifying for her.

yeah as far as wildest scenarios youve got:

* Biden wins electoral college, but not popular vote. then dies making Harris president as the Republican revolt goes into full swing

* It goes to the house and they pick anyone, doesn't matter who really

* Trump wins and the scotus cases go such that he's forced to be president from prison somehow. like they have to build a special combo-prison/mini-white house or legally declare the white house a prison or something.

Can't imagine why you'd set your most realistic shot at "Get Trump" with a terrible and incompetent DA that you appear to have done 0 background research on. It sure would be unfortunate to have this unceremoniously swept under the rug next year and the purity of the office is maintained.

The reason 'Hamilton' works is because there is no distance between that story that happened 200-some-odd years ago and now, because it looks like America now. It helps create a connection that wouldn't have been there if it was 20 white guys on stage.
