What happens to Georgia and NY cases against Trump now?

What do these courts and prosecutors do now?

No one knows. This is a first. A sitting President will be facing a state court judge who might order him to prison. Fascinating.
That judge/prosecutor would get murdered. Either drop it or a plea. There’s too many crazies out there

I will add that the ny shit is just stupid but GA is what made me believe he tried to cheat the election. Not okay. Sounds like that prosecutor’s office is a clown show tho. Lost all credibility. Just drop it or plea down
 
Can they suspend the cases and hold the statute of limitations?
Eh have to look up GA for tolling. If Rico it’s X years from the last predicate act. Can file dismiss refile and toll if again permissible by statute. No idea if that D is a sitting president. My GUESS is that can’t toll until 2029. Figuring all that out is like algebra
@Aloha Hoosier im smarter than you. By a significant margin btw

AG James still seems dead set on getting Trump sentenced to time in Sing Sing and emptying his wallet.
She gets to argue the appellant issues still. Hard to believe any judge worth his salt would go along now.

So Trump should be pardoned while he goes on his revenge tour? Nice
Not only were these prosecutions politically motivated, they almost certainly backfired on the people behind them.

They were a misguided idea from the start. That’s not to say all of them lacked merit (well, NY’s did…that was absurd).

But just from an optics standpoint…especially considering that one of their major themes was that Trump would use the power of the presidency to prosecute his enemies.

Well, that came out of left field. I know math isn't your thing, but the odds are that it is almost certain that my IQ is higher than yours. LOL!
 
Let the crimes go unpunished. What happened to law and order Republicans? Apparently, there aren't many of us left.
Well they have to drop them now because you can’t prosecute a sitting president but it doesn’t matter now, anyway.

They lost the election.

All these cases were nothing but an attempt to influence the election. That’s all they ever were.

And it’s obvious that people saw through it. Those not afflicted with TDS, that is.

The first case shouldn't have happened. The federal cases were legitimate, and I think he's guilty. You should have read the indictments. However, they won't happen now. His deliberate mishandling of highly classified documents alone is unforgivable for me, but now he'll have access again because it goes with the job.

Well tit for tat. Biden had classifieds before he was president (2017)but since he was in office by the time those came to light he didn’t get charged. This BS is a witch hunt. Has been and will be.

Are you saying you don't think these prosecutions were politically motivated?

Can you honestly say that, had it been somebody else, these prosecutions would've happened? Even the classified documents case, really. And I do think it had merit.

But the DOJ kind of codlocked themselves on that by not going after Hillary Clinton for mishandling of classified material.

Hillary Clinton did too. And this was known about prior to the 2016 election. Many, many people voted for her regardless.

Look, the DoJ has to be consistent in these things. They can try to create distinctions why one gets charged and another doesn't. But they're always going to end up pissing off half the people when they do that.

That is what makes his "law and order pubs" comment so Ironic. And Not republican to start with. The cat done ripped the bag apart and is running away. Who could have thunk it?

I don't know how many times I've explained the huge differences between the cases. They're not slightly different, they're massively different. Make no mistake, I was all for charging and prosecuting HRC under the gross negligence standard of the law, and be fine with prosecuting Biden (can't do until out of office, by the way) and Pence under that same standard. Trump's crime is DELIBERATE, not negligence, and they also have him for conspiracy to obstruct and obstruction of justice. These are not close to being the same as the other cases.

I've explained this and wasted my time several times doing it. Those with Trump Devotion Syndrome refuse to acknowledge the huge differences. If I'm Biden I preemptively pardon Trump and close it up. Still have the Georgia case which is very much similar to the federal election interference case. Don't know if they close that one out, but Biden can't pardon Trump in that one. I'm moving on and not wasting anymore time explaining anything to those that refuse to see.

Well, first, I don't see all that much distinction in the difference.

Second, the fact of the matter is that (whatever you wanted) Hillary Clinton wasn't prosecuted. It's the DoJ that has to make these decisions. What we think about their decisions is of no consequence.

Anyway, the decision(s) to go after Trump legally in order to pressure him politically were really misguided, they let him play the role of victim (Luntz had the goods on this...his numbers ticked up when they were in the news), and almost certainly wouldn't have been done had it been somebody else.

Given all that, it shouldn't be all that surprising that they're going to be going away (one way or another) now that he's been elected again.
 
You certainly aren't a law-and-order Republican. Anyone defending Trump or any of the J6 criminals can't be.
These things the Dems are holding onto are precisely why they lost. The middle ain’t playing. Keep it up and you’ll get Vance for 8 years with a stacked congress and courts. The public has moved on. I saw the arguments and all the info.

No offense, Aloha, but after Tuesday I think it’s fair to ask, do you even have the right to speak for republicans anymore?

You talked endlessly about needing to excise the cancer that is Trumpism from the party and no one listened. Look what happened.

Maybe, just maybe, it’s like a lot of us have been saying for four years now, that is bad as Trump is(and he’s awful), the alternative is worse.

I think it’s emphatically clear that a whole hell of a lot of people feel like we do.

I wouldn't go that far. One thing people do after an election is point to the outcome, cite their priors, and say "See, I told you so!"

While I do think the "lawfare" campaign was a tactical error by the Dems, I can't honestly sit here and say it was decisive. The big issues were the economy (which is the lingering effects of inflation -- that wasn't all Biden's fault, but get blamed on him anyway) and immigration.

It’s a pointless exercise here, I’ll just say in the Navy HRC’s punishment would be loss of clearance and probably separation at Non-Judicial Punishment. Trump would undoubtedly go to Courts Martial and given prison time. That’s the difference in how serious the cases are. He’ll get off with nothing and that does not sit right with me. It’s not justice.

I have the right to speak for myself and as a Republican.

I personally think immigration was HUGE. People don’t like being flooded with migrants and being called racist if they say anything.
