Lol lmao. Nay, roflmao. Lol.

So all of his finances are locked up, he owes half a billion dollars in various civil damages and he can’t get a loan or do business in New York.

What the gently caress does he even try to do now? He can kick up a fuss, maybe get some stochastic terrorism going, but he’s got all the criminal cases coming down the pike, with lawyers he needs to pay. He’s (nominally) got a campaign to run.

Dude is fuuuuuuuuuucked.

And yet there are at least 70 million people who will vote for him

What's even the end goal of the Trump side? If Willis is kicked off, wouldn't she just be replaced by whoever the #2 prosecutor is and no big deal? Or is Trump trying to argue the entire office is tainted.

If willis were disqualified it would disqualify her whole office and force the prosecution to be handled by the state AG, which would likely delay things for the foreseeable future. Another case that was similarly bumped like a year ago still doesn't officially have a new prosecutor appointed.

That said after today that ain't happening unless this judge is a Maga chud sufficient to have killed the case anyway like Cannon.

Wait, why would Willis getting DQ for being improperly horny also apply to the whole office?

Agreed.

While obviously having a guilty conviction right before the election AND the trials taking place and taking up all the oxygen is better than postponing a verdict, I think people are underestimating how bad of a position this is for Trump. A candidate under four indictments with trials taking place during election season is very, very, very bad for the candidate even if that candidate is Trump.

The problem is that Trump voters live in an alternate reality where an indicted Trump is actually cool and good

If Trump has a heart attack or something and dies during a civil appeal, is he back to legally "not guilty" like in a criminal case? Would the government still start selling off assets for Caroll and NYS to collect?

Oh, me, too. My point is that the right-wing evangelicals have latched onto Trump as chosen of God, even though he very obviously hasn't paid any attention to the Bible. He's not a Christian by their standards, but that's okay because...

List of properties that will/may be seized.

Blatant speculation but if the properties are seized I wonder what the odds are that they find MORE classified documents that I could see Trump leaving around because he forgot about them.

Does Trump really only have 3 buildings in NYC anymore? I dont know why i expected him to have way more

He's not even immune to the consequences. He still has to deal with them. People are acting like this is a reduction in the judgement, and not the bond to allow a stay on the judgement while appeals (which are not going to take particularly long) go through. Yeah it sucks that he might be able to pay the bond and thus not lose everything he owns instantly, but that means he's out even more money when he loses on appeal.

Its not the amount reduced, its that he was granted this waiver in the first place because

Hieronymous Alloy posted:

Exactly. There's no legal reason cited in the opinion for giving trump this waiver, because nobody else ever gets such a waiver, regardless of how annoying their conviction might be for them.

I was so mad that I had to front a bunch of my spouse's schooling the same week that stock released, due to issues with her loan. Easiest cash on the face of God's green earth buying the pump and shorting the dump.

In other news they have six jurors picked. The foreperson apparently gets his media diet from nyt, daily mail and sometimes fox and MSNBC.

You know, a totally reasonable and not at all sketch media diet.

cant wait until someone admits they get their news from forums.somethingawful.com

Honestly Trump's lawyer is doing a fantastic job of getting Trump thrown in the pokey but I doubt the judge would do that as he knows Trump will fundraise off it and likely use it in appeal to say the judge was unfairly harsh.

Can the appeal judge say any other Joe Schnoe dependent would have been thrown in jail a million times by now

I watched a plea once where a dude got charged with jury tampering

He had been on trial for like armed robbery and got a mistrial that nobdy understood because it seemed pretty open and shut

Turns out, during a lunch break during trial, defendant went down the street to the diner and just bumped into one of the jurors, offered to pay him off, juror took the money

Whole thing was captured on the diners' surveillance camera literally every bill being counted out clear as day

Funny part is the sentence for jury tampering was just ten years and he was facing 25 for the armed robbery anyway, so, not a bad risk really. He ended up pleading to both but didn't get any more time net than he would've on just the robbery. Sentenced concurrently.

How much does it take to bribe a juror, asking for a friend
