The records case is legit because aTrump is charged under a statute that directly pertains to the way he handled the records.
He's not charged with anything related to the Records Act. He's charged with 31 violations of the Espionage Act (the Top Secret documents, because he had over 100 classified documents in total), conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements to investigators. As I said this is the case I think is most important and looks like almost a slam dunk conviction.
Right. He is charged under a statute that pertains to his conduct. The judge tossed the PRA defense yesterday. But she might still instruct about it because it could play a role in scienter.
Don’t agree. He was within the system the whole time. Yeah, his arguments were frivolous or worse, but that must not be a crime.
Overturn, or challenge so it could have more time to be reviewed?
Read the indictment. The sore loser wasn’t charged for challenging. I don’t know why the hard core Trumpsters don’t read those indictments. They could possibly put forward a defense that doesn’t sound totally ridiculous.
Correct, he wasn’t charged for challenging because challenging an election, even a frivolous challenge, must never be a crime if we expect democracy to survive. But I think it is clear these charges are all about his challenge.
He wasn’t strengthening our democracy by trying to overturn the outcome of a fair and legitimate election. He was doing the opposite. He’s continuing to do it by claiming once again the only way he’ll lose is if they cheat. Also by saying the members of the J6 committee should be prosecuted, that journalists he doesn’t like should be jailed and that he’d have his DOJ go after political opponents and others. None of that strengthens American Democracy, it undermines it.
you think censoring speech from left influence and politicizing federal agencies is good for democracy?
He could never do that. He’s blindly devoted to the man and won’t think he’s guilty even if convicted and in prison.
I guess we just hafta disagree. I think Trump’s bluster about all the government ills he sees or believes is good for democracy. The real threat to democracy would be trying to silence him. In many parts of the world, people go to gulags or prisons for saying that stuff, like they are trying to do with Trump.
Countries where the Presidents bluster about rigged elections and try to change the outcome are called third world countries. I don't want us to be one of those.
Or use those records to write a book that got an $8 million advance, based on those documents that he stole when he was a Senator.
Every book written by a person that had access to classified information about his time in government or service, President to enlisted person, is reviewed and vetted to insure it doesn't contain classified information. Try again.
Those Biden favorability numbers: woof. Did they only poll McMurty?Republican primary voters have made the mistake of nominating this guy and he definitely won't win if he has any convictions:
she tossed the PRA-based MTD.
lol sure it is. They have hundreds of people in there every weekend. Seriously? Oh and you actually believe Trump lost money while in office? My goodness , the lack of logic in Trump supporters is astonishing
It's irrelevant.
A judges decisions are subjective. It takes a lot of factorsd to fall in place to reach the conclusion of bias. Cannon is one of the few federal judges to make the conclusion an absolute certainty.
Not irrelevant to blinkered leftists. Every ruling they don’t like is political.
"absolute certainty" **sigh**
Kind of like every crime Trump has committed is being prosecuted because it’s political? Like that?
Could be worse. Her offspring could be raising millions of dollars for the Republican Party.
