NY: Convicted Felon Donald Trump!

[Anti-Trump Truth Socialite JD Vance Enjoying Juror]

Yeah I don't know where he got Tuesday from anyway. They will probably give him a couple of days to surrender himself in NY.

I'd be really surprised if he turned himself in, despite what he says he'd love nothing more than a picture of himself in cuffs, so he can really sell the "martyr" angle.

While you're right that getting arrested on camera would help him sell his claims of martyrdom, I don't know if he can actually accept being arrested. As a technically legal matter, where he's surrenders, is arrested and immediately released, yeah, I can see him (barely) tolerating that as one more step in the legal dance he's spent his life doing.

But actually getting perp walked gets awfully close to facing consequences for his actions - something he never willingly does. I think there's a non-zero chance that he fights the arrest: demanding DeSantis protect him, holing up in Mar-a-lago (like a cult leader in his compound...), or even going on the run to someplace he thinks won't extradite him. (Although short of Russia, Florida is about as safe as he can be... IF DeSantis will protect him.)

DeSantis literally can’t protect him given the DOJ has jurisdiction over the entire country and they would extradite Trump to NY .

Trump demanding people “help” him in ways that are impossible is nothing new. Remember the Pence fiasco on January 6?

The brainworms have indeed gotten to Tenney.

Gotten? When weren’t they there?

When will we know? Is there going to be any prior warning if it's happening tonight?

Redban has 20 posts in this thread since yesterday morning. Nearly a whole page of him coping and seething. Just priceless.

Hopefully the Justice Department pursues the Death Penalty against Trump. If there ever was a good case for the Espionage Act (or just straight up Treason), it's here.

Should delete this mate, we don’t want the feds raiding Atlas.

That’s not even an interpretation. It’s just black letter law.

§ 30.10 Timeliness of prosecutions; periods of limitation.
…
4. In calculating the time limitation applicable to commencement of a
criminal action, the following periods shall not be included:

(a) Any period following the commission of the offense during which
(i) the defendant was continuously outside this state or (ii) the
whereabouts of the defendant were continuously unknown and continuously
unascertainable by the exercise of reasonable diligence. However, in no
event shall the period of limitation be extended by more than five years
beyond the period otherwise applicable under subdivision two.

Most jurisdictions have such a provision for tolling the statute of limitations. What is the Constitutional argument against it that you think SCOTUS would bite at?

Time is linear. If a crime happened on April 14n 2023 and the Statute of Limitations is one year, it expired yesterday. Doesn't matter if said offender wasn't in state everyday for the past year. The universe does not stop because someone left a jurisdiction. All of those states who have such interpretation are wrong and SCOTUS should strike it down. And given the makeup of the current SCOTUS, it's almost certain they will. Even some of liberals may join along.

This isn't legally relevant, but since you're being a smartass anyway: Time actually does not flow at the same rate everywhere in the universe. Two observers moving at different speeds or under different amounts of gravity will experience time at different rates.

With 34 counts, the odds that he is acquitted on all, or that there is a hung jury is nil. The question isn't a conviction, it's how many counts he's convicted on, and then if he suspends his campaign after. At that point, Biden could make a deal with him. If he drops out, pardon. If he remains in the race and tries to deny Biden what is given by God to him, prison.

The amount of wishful thinking in this post is… clinical

He's a troll. The way he vacillates between wildly different beliefs really seems like a person trying out new trolling shticks rather than an actual change of opinion.

Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo says the case against former President Donald Trump "opens the door" for other presidents to be prosecuted in the future on the "flimsiest of charges."

"The very weakness and the flaws in this case open up the door for any DA in the future to sue presidents on the flimsiest of charges. That's the real problem," Yoo said during a Thursday appearance on Fox News Channel. "It's never been a problem, it seems to me, to prosecute a president, but if you're going to prosecute a president it'd have to be for something serious, dangerous to the national interests. All the witnesses and the law ought to be air tight."

"Instead, we've seen this kind of free-wheeling prosecution, where witnesses have been paraded through, who had nothing to do or [were] really irrelevant to the legal charges," he added.

Yoo said it's still unclear exactly "what the legal crimes here are" as it relates to Trump's trial.

I have nothing more to be added here. Yoo is right. What Bragg did and is doing is downright dangerous.

Imagine quoting John ing Yoo as defense for your argument lmao. Somehow I don't think the legal scholar that authored the torture memo is going to be taken seriously by anybody but die-hard neocons and Cheneyites.

The #resist libs truly have the mandate of heaven. I remember all the cringeworthy Mueller sh**t they posted and how many people told them their deranged fantasies of Trump being convicted of crimes would never happen.

Setting aside whether or not it is right, this is still insane if for no other reason than those people were finally right.

Also because a President is a 34x convicted felon.

Holy sh**t.

Nothing burger. Mark my words.

What effect this'll have on the race remains to be seen, but a former President being convicted of a crime for the very first time in American history is, in itself, most certainly not a nothing burger.

He's incapable of doing anything except parroting "nothing burger" whenever something happens. A meteor could destroy Florida and he'd be in the thread saying it's a "nothing burger" and acting smugly superior to anyone who thinks anything ever has any effect on anything.

Now would be a really convenient time for Ron DeSantis to resume his bid for the Presidency. You know, assuming we actually want to beat Joe Biden in November.

It's either convicted felon Trump winning (still a distinct possibility), or nothing. DeSantis is not going to be the nominee.

What an absolute joke of a trial and hack judge. This is probably the most angry I've been for the last few years. I will be donating half of my paycheck to Trump to help him win the most important chapter in his life - the 2024 election. It is going to be up to us, his core supporters from 2015 to deliver him one final win against the deep state who seeks to cripple America and all we stand for.

Why would you donate your paycheck to a billionaire's campaign in the first place?
