"Trump sentencing updates: Trump sentenced to unconditional discharge as 'only lawful sentence' to protect presidency


President-elect Trump was found guilty in May of falsifying business records.



President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced Friday morning in his New York hush money case after a jury in May convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.

The Democrats' lawfare actually helped to get Trump elected. Talk about an "own goal". It will be even more amusing when the conviction is overturned.

We all know about Trump's "discharge." Please tell us more...

Its because Garland slow-rolled investigations.
The opposite of lawfare.

No, you fucking idiot, it's because the charges were utter bullshit. The whole thinking world knows this, that's why your bitch lost.

 

[Luckyone]

A conviction struck down by an appellate court would prove that Trump was the victim of Democrat lawfare.

He was still found guilty by a jury of his peers and of breaking existing laws, which by the way has a history of 7 people in the past be9ng found guilty of breaking those laws.

In that respect, there is no erasing of that being possible.

Do research. You will find that I am right

Yup, you managed to get a kangaroo court to convict an honest man.

How banana republic of you.

If the conviction is overturned, he's not convicted of anything.

Well, he'll take office in 10 days.

Unconditional discharge? Sounds like that sentence should come with a supply of ointment or something!

 

[Orangecat]

If I was Trump. I would find an actual lawyer that can keep his fat ass out of prison after he leaves office.

If you were Trump, you wouldn't be such a blithering idiot.

Then let me put it this way. Trump needs a miracle for his conviction to be overturned.

Here is an article that explains the legalities involved and how close to impossible it is to get the conviction overturned:

What would be the legal basis of a Supreme Court decision tossing out Trump’s conviction?​

So let’s walk through what the law actually says about when a prosecutor or judge can be removed from a case because of unconstitutional bias.

For prosecutors, the leading case is United States v. Armstrong (1996). Armstrong did hold that the Constitution places some limits on “selective prosecution,” such as if a criminal defendant were targeted because of their race or religion. Because the First Amendment typically prohibits “viewpoint discrimination,” it follows that a politician could not be targeted because of their political beliefs.

As a practical matter, however, Armstrong laid out a legal standard that is almost impossible for anyone challenging an allegedly selective prosecution to overcome. “Our cases delineating the necessary elements to prove a claim of selective prosecution have taken great pains to explain that the standard is a demanding one.” To prevail, Trump would have to show that “similarly situated individuals” who do not share his political views “were not prosecuted.”

Selective prosecution claims are so hard to win that several scholars have argued that no court has ruled in favor of a party claiming they were impermissibly prosecuted because of their race since Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886).

The above addresses the one thing that Trump is fighting (the judge and the prosecution were biased against Trump) but the article also addresses all the other legal issues involved that make it close to impossible to overturn. In the case above, Trump has one huge problem which is the fact that 7 (or 9) other people were previously prosecuted in New York for the same issues and were found guilty and this happened before Trump was tried. As such, that Trump was specifically picked and prosecuted because of bias, goes out the window.

No, he doesn't. My gosh but you are a clueless buffoon.

 

[dudmuck]

No, you fucking idiot, it's because the charges were utter bullshit. The whole thinking world knows this, that's why your bitch lost.

the reason we have grand juries is to prevent that exact sort of thing. Indictments mean there is evidence, and trials hold the evidence to an even higher standard.

I couldn't care less if it gets overturned. You whiny cvnts will impotently bleat about it, regardless.

No stupid, the SC just said it needs to work its way up the chain.

Only idiots let Vox tell them what to think, idiot.

 

[BluesLegend]

The American People thwarted the judge's plans by electing Trump.

Damn straight. We told the judge and the entire corrupt Dem party to go F themselves.

 

[Lakhota]

Well, he'll take office in 10 days.

Mandela was also a convicted felon ..

Mandela went to prison

Trump didn’t even get a slap on the wrist

 

[westwall]

Mandela went to prison

Yeah, Trump was able to defeat your lawfare.

Sucks to be you.

 

[skews13]

They just want to say "convicted felon" on the 20th.

The entire world will be saying just that.

What a national embarrassment.

Will be getting my copy of the newspaper that will have it on the front page.

You turds are going to be really famous. On the front pge, and in the section on criminals.
