Trump. The convicted felon

So I'm caught up on what Merrick Garland, I think. Apparently he is refusing to turn over any communications between his office and Willis's/Bragg's office. 

I wonder if he can be considered a "kindly old man who means well"?

Serious question, not poking back...

When Bill Clinton paid off his affair woman should he have also got a jail sentence (suspended), probation, and drug testing?

***** Yes, if he used campaign funds to pay for it *****

Also, when Hilary Clinton was found to have done the exact same thing (campaign finance fraud) to fund the Steele Dossier, should she have got a jail sentence (suspended), probation, and drug testing other than the $8000 fine she paid?

****** she reached an agreement to no wrong doing. If they would have chosen to go to trial and she was fount guilty, absolutely I would have agreed to what ever was allowed by law as a penalty*******

If Trump wasn’t such a raging dick, people probably not have pursued such measures. I do not want former Presidents to go to jail for such petty shit.  If found guilty of the Jan 6 or Georgia crap, I believe there would be no other choice but prison. 

I think the best thing the Governor to do politically is to commute it before Trump sucks out an appeal in the next decade. He will prolly be dead before a this is done wi

So a lot of people watch Biden's reaction here as a malicious smile.

I disagree, completely. I don't think Biden heard the question very well, and therefore had no idea what the reporter was talking about about.

When The Young Turks are acknowledging that this was a sham/trumped up charges…you know the dems have a problem.

Florida case getting iffy also.  

Former Attorney General Ed Meese, who served under former President Reagan, filed an amicus brief in the case, in which he argues that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Smith as special counsel – a private citizen at the time – is in violation of the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. 

"Not clothed in the authority of the federal government, Smith is a modern example of the naked emperor," the brief states. 

"Improperly appointed, he has no more authority to represent the United States in this Court than Bryce Harper, Taylor Swift, or Jeff Bezos," they argued. 

Meese argues that the "illegality" of Smith’s appointment is "sufficient to sink Smith’s petition, and the Court should deny review."

I don't do tiktok, is there a YouTube version?

This vid has a trial lawyer and a prosecutor laying out the big problems of this trial, which includes leaving items out of the indictment that popped up during the trial. Doesn't look good.

What does the "Trump got railroaded" crowd think of Hunter's conviction?  He was also found guilty in an overwhelmingly Blue state by a Trump appointed judge.  Seems like the Deep State missed on this one.

He committed a crime.  Don't like the law.  He should not go to jail.  He is not running for POTUS.  He will be pardoned by his dad after the election.

I think you should be able to own a gun even if you drink, smoke marijuana, use crack or even smoke cigarettes. They are all considered mind altering drugs, yeah?

Yeah, it's a crime, which is rather ... stupid, imo. I agree with this post.

Edit:

The judge should schedule sentencing for July 12th.

I also have sympathy for Hunter.  He was not the favored son.  He was his dads bagman.  Probably more than physical attraction when he fucked his dead brothers wife.

Seems the attempted smarm missed on this one.

It's not smarm.  We've spent two weeks listening to arguments of how Trump was railroaded due to a perfect political storm.  Okay.  So how about this?  It seems like the dems/libs who, according to the MAGA crowd are powerful and sophisticated enough to get a former president convicted to BS crimes, failed here. 

*sigh*

Hunter Biden is not running for any office. Therefore he has no political opponents who have skin in that particular game. 

What was missing in Hunter Biden's indictment that popped up in court and he was convicted on it?

How long was Hunter Biden's "crime" out of statute before he was charged?

Are these Maga-only questions? Are these political questions? Should the Dems be the only ones who should pose these questions? 

Would you feel better if nobody asked any questions at all?

I will say that Hunter Biden had numerous govt sectors and 99% of the media go out of their way to lie, censor and ban people's voices to protect him and by extension Joe Biden. You couldn't even link somebody the article in DMs. Hell, even Joe Biden lied about the laptop story.

Was the same done for Trump?

No? Why not?

I’ve heard how Trump is persecuted since 2016.  I’ve heard how Hunter is persecuted to get to his dad since 2020.  I guess both sides got their wish and curse simultaneously.   A Mexican standoff.

Not to mention they waiting for the statute of limitations on what was the biggest issues in the case. They also tried to give him immunity from everything but thank goodness the judge stopped that.

Biden is saying he will not pardon his son but we all know he will once the election is over. So what will liberals say when he goes back on his word. Also pretty funny he was at a anti gun rally after his son was charged with a gun crime

I wouldn't care if Biden pardoned his son. It would be different if Hunter was a violent murderer, for sure.

What I care about is all the govt agencies and their Spooks doing whatever they could do to protect him.

Answers none of my questions.
