I highly doubt Cohen ran every single detail of his dealings by Trump first. Trump could literally have told him to do what you need to make the issue go away, and let Cohen handle everything from there. ****, since Cohen is a serial liar, Cohen could have (gasp) even lied to Trump! Is that.... possible? That a serial liar could.... lie?
Regardless oif of all that, you still need physical evidence, of which the prosecution has none. Only the testimony of known liar and thief and some tapes that literally say nothing but vague information.
This is what the Obama camp is saying/thinking.
I’m not reading through 23 pages of this thread but here’s my two cents on all this:
I simply don’t buy into the notion that Trump did anything *illegal* following the 2020 election. I think he acted *poorly* and can’t believe so many refuse to accept that, but I think he was careful enough to not commit a crime. As such, I find those two cases to be dumb.
I believe Trump knew about, and probably was at least passively involved in the Stormy Daniels payment. Maybe he gets off anyway, but I don’t believe for a second that he didn’t know. That all said, campaign finance law violations are all ****ing over the place, and usually people just aren’t quite this dumb about it. Trump is just really good at saying a bunch of quiet parts out loud and surrounding himself with idiots who do the same.
The documents thing is pretty overblown, but he probably broke the law. I wouldn’t have chosen to fight this in court if I were the DOJ.
The discourse around these cases is absolutely ****ing bananas. I don't see how can dismiss them as illegal witch hunts, but I also can’t see how people can think Trump should face prison time or be taken off ballots for anything presented. Which is basically how everything has been for the past 9 ****ing years at this point. I can’t wait until Trump and Biden finally just ****ing croak and we can hopefully at least move on to terrible people who are not senile old men.
I’m sure the courts can figure that out better than chopcountry.com
Indeed. I see his actions in a more malign light than you do. But I think the legal system is capable of rendering justice even in these politically charged cases.
If he gets acquitted in the various cases, I won't be going around complaining about the unfairness of the judges/juries involved.
I know it’s quite odd given how many online legal experts there seem to be these days, but I won’t pretend one way or another if the legal theory is sound. I’m sure the courts can figure that out better than chopcountry.com
I would agree with you that these charges seem politically motivated. Whether he broke the law or not (again not my field of expertise), none of these seem to warrant prison time nor keep Trump off the ballot. On that basis alone, I think this is going to hurt (D), especially since Biden doesn’t exactly come across as a Boy Scout.
I look forward to an election where the focus isn’t which candidate should be in prison for the longest. Maybe 2028.
And it's not a conspiracy theory to believe that areas that are 85%+ blue are not areas where a conservative can always get a fair trial.
Its also not a conspiracy to see everything these monsters have done to Trump since 2015 and assume its still happening.
But when you look at the pipe burst as an innocent event you'll have blinders for the rest of the nonsense.
