[BluesLegend]

Just admit it Dems, your so called case against Trump is shit just like your Fake News Russian collusion BS. Democrats strong history of LYING and making shit up and double standards pretty much render Dems illegitimate.

Show us where he did. There is ZERO evidence presented.

Evidence was presented, to the Grand Jury.

We are at the indictment/arraignment phase of the process. Public release of the evidence is done at trial.

Ya go with that.

Texts, emails, files, shell company corporate documents, phone records, travel documents, testimony by Pecker and Weisselberg (sp?), invoices, canceled checks, hell even audio recordings of Trump.

[OKTexas]

The court will decide what is next step in process

ROFLMAO

who do you think posted it?

Yet contrary to corporate media narratives, Trump did not create the image and says he did not see a preview of the photo before he posted a link to the article.

Donald Trump Did Not Generate 'Baseball Bat' Photo with Alvin Bragg - Says Did Not See Link Preview for Article Shared on Truth Social

Former President Donald Trump has taken serious heat since late last week, when he shared an article on his Truth Social account that included an image of him holding a baseball bat next to a picture of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

He didn't demean the court, he didn't plan protests, he didn't campaign off of it for mega donations,....

Nope. The grand jury wouldn't accept the known liars testimony, that is why Cohen had to supply the documentation to them.

And Lanny Davis, Cohen's lawyer said Cohen supplied one document after another, and Lanny also said the EVIDENCE and documentation is rock solid.

He explains what he believes the crimes are,in depth...

And explains how Bragg should handle it....in his legal opinion.


COMMENTARY
By Andrew P. Napolitano - - Wednesday, March 29, 2023
OPINION:
After processing what he heard on cable television, former President Donald Trump publicly announced two weeks ago that on Tuesday, March 21, he would be arrested by the New York Police Department. That day came and went with no arrest.
Mr. Trump is the subject of four criminal investigations: one by the Manhattan district attorney for campaign finance fraud; one by the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney for conspiracy to subvert an election; and two by the feds, one for conspiracy to subvert a congressional function on Jan. 6, 2021, and the other for retention of national defense secrets at his Florida home and obstruction of justice by hiding the secrets.

The case currently getting media attention is the one in Manhattan. It is also getting Mr. Trump’s attention, as he has threatened and predicted “death and destruction” if he is indicted. Along with that prediction, he posted photos that depicted himself about to strike Alvin Bragg, the New York district attorney, with a baseball bat.

The photo juxtaposition was appalling and ought to strike terror in his Manhattan lawyers, as it will form a credible basis for the New York prosecutor, at the time of arraignment, to ask for Mr. Trump’s immediate incarceration. It is standard to ask for no bail when the defendant has threatened the prosecution with bodily harm and has the present apparent ability to carry out the threat.

While Mr. Trump is protected 24/7 by the Secret Service from harm, the agents do not protect others from harm by him. If he is indicted in Manhattan, his lawyers will unhappily confront all this. They may also confront an indictment for threatening a public official with violence.

=========

Thus, Mr. Bragg will charge that when Michael Cohen, then Mr. Trump’s lawyer, used his own money to pay a woman to remain silent about a sexual liaison she claims she had with Mr. Trump, one that he denies, that payment was made to protect Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign against Hillary Clinton in October 2016.

If Mr. Trump had reimbursed Cohen out of his own funds on which he paid income taxes, and recorded that reimbursement as a personal campaign contribution, there would have been no crime. But by using corporate funds to reimburse Cohen and falsely recording the payments to Cohen as legal fees — ordinary corporate expenses, on which no income taxes were paid — Mr. Trump ran afoul of New York law and federal law. Then, the misdemeanor becomes a felony.

====================

Mr. Bragg looked at the evidence and research amassed against Mr. Trump by his predecessor and, for reasons not made public, decided to put the criminal investigation of Mr. Trump on the back burner. Then, after he interrogated Cohen, he and his team — the Manhattan DA is a former federal prosecutor in the same office that prosecuted Cohen and declined to prosecute Mr. Trump — concluded that Cohen is sufficiently credible, particularly when buttressed by Cohen’s files and the records of the Trump Organization, to testify against Mr. Trump.

=============

While most of the thousands of federal and state criminal laws have no moral place in America, as they either criminalize harmless behavior or intrude upon the exercise of natural rights, so long as these laws are enforced against others — and they are — they should be enforced wherever the evidence sufficiently points to guilt, without fear or favor.

Should Mr. Trump get a pass? Only if the district attorney thinks the case is weak, not because Mr. Trump is a former president.

In the sagacious words of the former Judge Napolitano, one can discern a nugget of truth; verily, I have scoured the depths of his argument and found it to be without blemish or flaw.

Cheers,
Rumpole

Criminals, being who and what they are, often are implicated by criminal associates. This is not uncommon in criminal trials.

What will implicate Trump will not be a liar's words, but the liars documents proving he is not lying.

And why did Cohen lie when he did lie? At the time, he was a fervent Trump acolyte, and he lied to protect his mentor and client, Donald Trump.

Cheers,
Rumpole

The NY County Trump indictment is still a fabulous nothing burger. What a moronic and disgraceful partisan political persecution. Absolutely indefensible.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is the real situation. Democrats have been lying about Trump since he first announced his candidacy.

The lies have come in a literal tsunami, a Niagra of one lie after another. Fabricated story tumbling upon fabricated charge folded in upon fabricated indictment. Each one getting less and less tethered to reality. What is happening is what always happens with congenital liars. People just stop believing them. In everything, not just Trump. Of course this isn't just the kid down the block lying his way through high school. This is before the world. Not one leader will believe the United States, we have become a paraih nation.

We must believe them now.
