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

[JoeB131]

Are you not spiking it yourself?
It is just yet another example of the kind of ugly, immature and vengeful politics we have in America. You don't go after a for President with off the wall charges from years past.
Hillary Clinton, in the same state mind you, did a no contest deal for misusing campaign funds and it didn't even make on page 22 of the NYT.

Hillary's campaign did a no-contest deal, not Hillary personally.

This is a gotcha political game being played by a prosecutor doing it only to get attention.

Yes,, Trump is someone who has pissed a lot of people off, that's why he's going down.

Yep. The rumors have it, multiple felonies, including falsifying records, and obstruction. But the indictment is under seal, so it's speculation.

 

[excalibur]

No, its kind of what Stacey Abrams did when she convinced MLB to cancel the Atlanta all star game to put pressure on them. Or what Ringo Starr did when he was offended that North Carolina refused to allow dudes to use the state's ladies rooms.

And didn't Bruce Springsteen and his band do the same over NC?

And how much will the Messiah raise from His faithful from this fiasco?

 

[AMart]

Payments to a porn star wouldn't be illegal. Claiming them as a legitimate legal expense and using them as a tax deduction would be.

Like Hillary claiming 10 million as legal fees through Perkins?

 

[Faun]

Really? so what happens Next?

He turns himself in... gets fingerprinted, a mug shot taken... then goes back home to Mar-a-Raided while his attorneys work on a motion to dismiss.

 

[johngaltshrugged]

I asked a simple question. If there is a crime here (and neither one of us knows for sure) but if there is, should the person get a free pass simply because they are a politician?

They shouldn't be prosecuted for something the ruling party has/would get away with.
Especially when the statute of limitations has expired & the other party has denied it.

This is at most a process crime or campaign finance violation that is routinely settled without ever a charge filed.

The regular people are seeing through this shit & it won't be popular with Main Street
It is a prosecution in search of a crime & we know it.

I doubt they’d charge him with a flimsy case.

Yeah, those two impeachments were rock solid.

LOL

 

[Blaster]

I was 90% sure of voting for Trump before the indictment but now I am 100% sure I will.

 

[Concerned American]

Claiming them as a legitimate legal expense and using them as a tax deduction would be.

Linkie?

 

[BluesLegend]

Corrupt NY votes to indict a POTUS, interesting.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I doubt they’d charge him with a flimsy case. He better not hire the lawyers he’s been hiring.

Hahahahaha. Yeah they would never do that.

Mrs. Blazzing Fraud, how do you know Judge Kavanaugh spiked the punch that night?

Blazzing Fraud: I saw him standing next to the punch bowl with a red cup.

Hilarious!

 

[john doe 101]

A great day for real Americans.

 

[Faun]

Nothing says we're totally not a banana republic quite like indicting the leader of the opposition...

Bad move

No, an actual banana republic wouldn't indict the leader of the opposition of he or she appears to have committed a crime.

 

[Polishprince]

And didn't Bruce Springsteen and his band do the same over NC?

I think you're right.

There is certainly sufficient precedents for a boycott.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I have no idea what they have charged him with. Neither do you. I'm fairly sure cheating on your taxes has a longer than 2 year limitation though.

Two years. The federal statute is longer but the cheating must be used to cover up a separate crime. So that's not applicable either.

Could be the entire indictment is being used to deflect from the trans killer.

 

[1srelluc]

Sources say?

 

[pknopp]

Like Hillary claiming 10 million as legal fees through Perkins?

I believe Hillary should have been charged with many things. I'm not sure the Trump administrations failure there means all should fail.
