I stand by the idea that until we know what facts/applicable laws Bragg is using it's very hard to know how solid the case is.Breakdown and analysis of the charges (by criminal defense lawyer, Bruce Rivers) and how things will likely unfold in the trial. Summation, Bragg has an easy case to prove vs Trump.
Hmm, this judge should recuse because of donating basically a lunch at McDonalds to Biden...Under the circumstances I'm inclined to agree.
If it were just about any other case, I would say the amounts are so small that one would have to be joking in requesting or suggesting a recusal
Pretty sure the expert analysis on both Trump impeachments was ‘he is obviously guilty but won’t be convicted’ so not sure what the issue is there.I love you guys but have zero interest in any commentary or "expert" analysis on a trial that aint even started yet.
We've had the same circus every time and its always pointless and 99 percent of their "expert analysis" is fucking wrong.
Remember OJ? Remember Donalds first impeachment? Remember Donalds second impeachment?
The experts were just trying to get attention. And maybe collect a paycheck.
Even worse is you know the idiot woman daytime talkshows are getting into this shit too, and I bet a million dollars it sounds like hens clucking.
He appears to hold his tongue during depositions.
Trump pleaded the fifth more than 400 times in fraud deposition, video shows
Former president repeatedly invoked constitutional right against self-incrimination in New York footage from late last summerwww.theguardian.com
I'd venture to guess he'll hold his tongue at actual trial too.
Fuck that.Judge in this case donated small amounts to democrats/Biden.
Judge should recuse himself. Sitting judges should not be making political donations, no matter the amount. This process needs to be squeaky clean.
If we want to complain over judicial ethics with someone like Clarence Thomas, who is much worse, everything on our end needs to be on the up and up.
I'd be surprised if it came out that Trump wasn't doing something questionable. People that think they're important often think the rules don't apply to them, and no one think's they're more important than Trump does.I stand by the idea that until we know what facts/applicable laws Bragg is using it's very hard to know how solid the case is.
What I have noticed though is there seems to be a sharp disagreement between people who have practiced law in New York who seem to largely think this is a straightforward case to prove and people who have not practiced in New York who think it's shaky. Then again this Bruce Rivers guy is from Minnesota so who knows.
I think the main issue here is they would happily pocket the delay for finding a new judge and then would immediately come up with something wrong about the new judge.Fuck that.
If under normal circumstances a trivial donation of 15 dollars is a non issue then the Judge should not recuse himself.
There is no need and all this bullshit about appearance is pointless.
Apply the standard and move the fuck on.
Playing this nonsense of " We must be the noble ones who must go beyond the standard and be pure as the driven snow" is a waste of time and the reasons why GOP bastards love this shit. Democrats sacrifice there own for appearance. Republicans simply double down.
What's next? "Judge voted Democrat therefore bias must be present therefore he should recuse himself?"
Well I mean we know Trump was a party to massive tax fraud in the past and it went unpunished. I somehow doubt the lesson he took from that was to keep his nose clean going forward.I'd be surprised if it came out that Trump wasn't doing something questionable. People that think they're important often think the rules don't apply to them, and no one think's they're more important than Trump does.
But yet the TX judge that overruled the FDA on the abortion drug is perfectly fine when he was a well known anti abortion activist. Again rules for thee, not for me.Fuck that.

Where are you getting that from? Where did you get the idea that jury selection has taken place?So it appears at least one of the jury in the upcoming Trump trial will vote not guilty because they believe it's selective prosecution of Trump. Even in the more conservative Staten Island. Which is not new in the thread of course. Not that I want a not guilty verdict but just trying to be practical.
And now millions of Americans will read articles like the one below of the LA Times 1996 article about Chinagate where the Clinton campaign was found guilty of taking illegal campaign contributions. They got fined by the FEC but no criminal charges against Bill Clinton or anyone else. Edit: Which could add millions more people who think it's just selective prosecution against Trump.

Politics: The FEC levies a record $719,000 in fines against DNC and other groups for arranging illegal contributions from foreign sources.www.latimes.com
And for general reference about Chinagate is the Wiki on it:

It sounded strangely like a huevos rancheros postWhere are you getting that from? Where did you get the idea that jury selection has taken place?

No. She's just playing the long game.Melania is the ultimate stepford wife.
Waiting for Donnie to kick off seems like a poor strategy. Donnie leaves a handful of magic beans for the kiddos and she's stuck owing $400 million to the Russian mob.No. She's just playing the long game.
"sir....."The courthouse staff had tears of joy and apologized for not arraigning him sooner.
