Trump hit with criminal charges in New York, a first for a US ex-president -New York Times

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Well, when Republicans quit committing crimes, maybe they won't be prosecuted.

I knew from your first bloviating post you were going to be one of my favorites. Didn’t take long.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

I don't agree. This is the first charge of more to come. All will be televised, and the nitty gritty details of his corruption will be seen by all. I'm looking forward to his many trials. Pass the popcorn!

Corruption,you mean like the fake Russia conspiracy theory,you mean like the secrets biden sold to China that corruption? No he hit the nail on the head,all this does is seal up the nomination for him,your too dense to understand trump was begging for this knowing this only backfires against them same as the Russia hoax backfired on them.

What line?

I am not exactly sure of the charges yet, but his attorney and CFO are already in jail, so yea, I am sure he is completely innocent.

 

[JimH52]

You think he's a criminal because he might run for election against Biden and horrors, he might actually win!! That, of course, is what Democrats mean by "criminal" these days.

Nope....Cohen went to jail for carrying out the crimes that trump ordered in 2015. Why shouldnt trump be held accountable? He is not King.

Is France a banana republic?

France: In 2018, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was indicted on charges of corruption and influence peddling. He is accused of accepting millions of euros in illegal campaign funding from the regime of late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Is Italy a banana republic?

Italy: In 2011, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was indicted on charges of paying an underage prostitute and abuse of power. He was ultimately acquitted of the charges, but he has faced several other legal challenges throughout his career.

Is Israel a banana republic?

Israel: In 2019, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. He is accused of accepting gifts from wealthy businessmen and offering political favors in exchange for positive news coverage.

Is Iceland a banana republic?

Iceland: In 2016, Iceland's Prime Minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson resigned after the Panama Papers revealed that he and his wife had set up a company in an offshore tax haven. He was later indicted for tax evasion.

Is Spain a banana republic?

Spain: In 2018, Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was ousted in a no-confidence vote following a corruption scandal involving his Popular Party. Several members of his party were indicted on charges of embezzlement, fraud, and money laundering.

In other words, indicting a Prime Minister or President among the first world countries, AKA 'western developed nations',
of which the US is a member, is NOT unusual.

You see, these countries believe in the concept that 'no one is above the law' and if we do not, then rule of law is dead, and if rule of law is dead, then we become a third world country.

Do the crime, do the time. Goes for everyone, including the president.

I will accept the premise that if we are going to indict a President, it shouldn't be for a chickenshit charge, like the Hush Money payment. The 1/6 charges, that should be what Garland should go after, in my view.

Banana Republics execute their Dictators

Trump is being tried in accordance with our Constitution

Actually all of the above are crimes plus I'm sure, a lot more he hasn't been charged with yet.

Agree or Disagree: Prosecuting Trump in Manhattan would be “an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump"? Agree- DEM: 46% IND: 55% GOP: 77% All Voters: 59%

Rasmussen....ROTFLMAO! Paywall and...bogus..as usual.

What was their sample...964 white dudes on the upper east side?

 

[Rambunctious]

Yay!

Say that again... the dems just lost 2024....

 

[White 6]

Lol. You think he is going to need to testify?

Not fuckin’ likely.

There is no way, he will testify. He doesn't have the self-discipline and he knows it. I cannot imagine a lawyer dumb enough to go along with it, except for Rudy or Sidney, and he won't be using them again, as that turned out very bad for him.

Cohen went to prison for this so called trivial affair

Shouldn’t the guy who ordered it face the same penalty?

 

[Stann]

Which is it? Dems think he won't win and so charged him or the Dems think he will win and so charged him?

Take your time. You guys can't have it both ways.

Our laws are finally working in regards to trump. He usually gets around them.

@GovRonDeSantis


The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.

Our system of justice is based upon evidence, and no one is above the law.

Those factors clearly have some folks very upset.

Trump does not need to testify

The moron just can’t keep his mouth shut. His rants, tweets and speeches will be used against him

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Freaking finally.

You gottem now Dumbleweed! This is the big one! The evidence is overwhelming! All your dreams are about to come true! They really really are! There’s no way the dems would lift your hopes so high again and smash them to pieces again!

Cohen and all Trump's associates and friends went to jail because of the rotten Democrats. They took all them out then went after Trump. There IS no country more crooked and corrupt than the USA because of these Democrats.

Cohen went to prison for cheating on his income tax. Not anything with Trump.

 

[White 6]

Trump's Army needs a couple days to activate and assemble. There's going to be more armed patriots in New York City than King George had.

BS. They aren't locking him up. It is just an arraignment and they could break him out of jail against a prepared defense anyway.
