A sitting President can’t be prosecuted, this is essentially beyond question. It would be on hold.
A sitting President can’t be prosecuted, this is essentially beyond question. It would be on hold.Yeah, RICO is the massive sledgehammer, but this complex of a case I highly doubt it gets to trial before the 2024 election (and then the Supreme Court gets to decide if a state can continue to try/convict/jail a sitting president if Trump wins the election...)
It's funny, you lot split from us partly because you didn't want a royal family then you went and gave your leaders the same powers!A sitting President can’t be prosecuted, this is essentially beyond question. It would be on hold.
whatever that needs to be done I'm sick of seeing his name in the press.He knows how to use social media on his phone. Need to cut that off. I need his ass bored at home and without a megaphone to the outside world. No attention from his fans, no rallies, no golf, no business meetings, no nothing. Just sit at home, watch TV, and eat hamburgers all day until his sad, miserable life ends in a poof and not a bang.
It is not at all settled - the federal DoJ has an old policy that it should not pursue criminal charges against a sitting president based on an interpretation of immunity. But it has never been ruled on by the Supreme Court. Also, the DoJ policy only applies to federal criminal matters, is by no means directly binding on state criminal courts.A sitting President can’t be prosecuted, this is essentially beyond question. It would be on hold.
Typically, as I understand it, US Supreme Court can only review state cases to the extent they are related to federal law or constitutional law - the GA supreme court has final authority over interpretation of all Georgia law matters. (Note Georgia has their own version of RICO on the state books, so not relying on federal RICO statutes).True or false
SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over the GA DOJ?
I don’t know. Not a lawyer. Another theory of deplorable actions in GA. Republicans ask the GA Supreme Court to intervene.
Seems he also took notes.In 1985 Juliani took down the 5 families.
I'm just gonna leave that there.
Presidential pardon powers don't apply to state charges. He'd have to get a Georgia pardon board to pardon him.Trump "could get off" using delays, or with a co-conspiring future president like DeSantis, or by pardoning himself if reelected. However, and I still say this again, for people to just imagine the country with Donald Trump as president? Knowing all we know now, I can see no way a country ran by a Donald Trump would be functional. It just would never work.
Yeah, sure... Trump could run and get elected and could pardon himself, but what happens then? What happens after THAT? Seriously folks... does ANYINE actually believe it would be business as usual? The nation would have a felon as sitting president, a convicted felon representing the United States to the world. A felon meeting with world leaders and giving speeches at world events. Now seriously folks.... can you imagine that as doable? As acceptable? As tolerable ????
Despite everything and despite the possible outcome(s), Donald Trump is toast. The sooner Donald realizes THAT, the sooner maga realized THAT, the better for everyone.
Donald Trump will never be president, period. We've far beyond that point. Bottom line... it simply would never work. Never could someone like Trump be accepted as a president.
Delusional behavior isn't gonna make the impossible into a reality. It's over for Donald Trump, it's all over. Over, over, over... Trump had best cut a deal with all the DA's, forget about this presidential nonsense that is never gonna happen, and possibly... "possibly" save his ass from further procession.
Donald, wake-up. Donald, it's over. Get this through your thick head you freakin psycho maniac. Have a little self respect.
In Georgia, pardons are administered not by the governor but by an appointed state board that in the past has limited pardons to offenders who have already done their time.
All in all, Georgia is the last place in America where Donald Trump should want to face the music for his misdeeds.
They got no jurisdiction over a womb either but you see how that went.True or false

God - more ‘Trump will get away with it’ fam fiction.I just don't know. I just don't feel comfortable believing the system will work or I should say the system will be allowed to work as democracy designed and intended. This is an important case against Trump, possibly the most important of them all because so many are involved, but the other side... the Trump side... that "organized" side referred to in the indictment are still alive and well. They still have the ability to derail everything and I believe they will come first opportunity.
This reminds me of the night when Richard Nixon tried to have his AG fire his special prosecutor. Nixon's then AG refused and resigned. Then, the next in line in the AG office also refused to fire the special prosecutor. Then finally it was Robert Bork that did fire the special prosecutor and this was called The Saturday Night Massacre.
I believe we will have another Saturday Night Massacre come October. It probably will not come on a Saturday nor at night, but it's coming.
The day or night in October when that new GA law goes into effect giving the GA governor the ability to fire the DA, the DA running the Trump indictment. And thus, ending the indictment, all aspects of the indictment, all 41 counts of the indictment.
This will be our Saturday Night Massacre. Equal to Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre. A massacre that lead to the impeachment of Richard Nixon thus forced his resignation. However, this time will be different. This time there will be no resignations nor concerns nor voices crying out for justice because the voices in the GA legislation have already spoken and those voices fully support and encourage the massacre.
I wish our state would rat out on the maga replubicans.
Lin Wood rated them all out?
Who was that Rapper that immediately caved and was ratting out everyone? This needs a meme.
Lin Wood rated them all out?
That is a federal DOJ rule. GA is free to proceed.A sitting President can’t be prosecuted, this is essentially beyond question. It would be on hold.
Someone photoshop the Lin dudes face on this
One of the reasons the GA case is so strong is they created a tough RICO law for their state. Not sure if this would be easier to try in Michigan.I’ve heard that Trump’s attorneys will possibly try to get the Georgia case moved from Fulton County to Federal Court as they can possibly get it moved to a district with a more favorable jury (also…so Trump can pardon himself of ALL charges if elected.) But isn’t that also a greater risk? Wouldn’t that expose him to charges from Michigan or other states??
