Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

Every human has bias, no such thing as a neutral judge or jury in this particular case, as everyone in the country is emotional involved.

When making a statement it helps to have the actual facts and state them, and you don't and haven't. A common trait of trump supporters.

The displays of stupidity and breaks from reality from trump supporters on social media since the indictments is really something to behold, even after all the examples they provided since before 2016.

Some are just waiting on some of their ilk to commit some form of violence as was seen after the raid on MAL so they can try to blame Biden.

Says more about you than judges. Plenty of professionals are more than able to set aside bias and look at facts. Even when those facts go against their feelings.

Just because Trump is unable to separate his emotions from decisions doesn't mean no-one can.

If you really believe what you say then the entire legal system falls as clearly every judge is making decisions based in boas rather than the law.

But all of this is irrelevant. Trump has admitted himself that he had the docs, he knew they were classified and he tried to lie about it. He tried to hide them for his own gain.

What do you think should happen to a person that wilfully put the security of their country, and their allies, at risk for their own selfish reasons?

Again, name a far left judge

Allegedly not, apart from the three participants. As for the US participant [being able to] keep quiet on the content before retiring permanently, that's the 64 million dollar question. He does have family.

Part of the argument made by some people here against Trump facing trial in a US court is bias. I understand that US law has members of juries being challenged by both lawyers and the trial judge to prevent people of bias from sitting as jurypersons. What I'm unsure of is whether the same law applies to people chosen as prospective jurors to sit on a Grand Jury in a Federal District Court district and whether the lawyers include members of the defendants legal team. The jurors in both ordinary jury service and Grand Jury service are drawn from the very same pool of prospective jurors.

I'd imagine that as a retired former US president is the person named in the case they are hearing to decide if there are sufficient grounds in what they have heard for prosecution by way of trial of the same former president that a great degree of care is taken in the grand jury selection by lawyers and judge to prevent bias. Do defence team lawyers have the right to challenge prospective Grand Jury members?

If I'm reading this correctly, Trumps lawyers are not permitted to represent him in court because they haven't applied to practice in Florida?

I'd be entirely sceptical that Trump declassified them or even attempted to do so. The declassification system is a bureaucratic system of logging, stamping and classifying. Does anybody imagine that Trump would have the patience to declassify even only a tiny portion of the huge amount of documents removed from Mar-a-Lardo? No, that indolent buffoon wouldn't even approach anything that looked like work, hence his fantasy of waving has hands over all those boxes and declaring them ''declassified''.

BornTobyWilde had several posts up about bias against Trump in respect to the DOJ bringing charges against a former president as being politically motivated and being the first time a former president is to be tried before a jury in federal court.

I wanted to find out if the GJ members were chosen and made liable to challenge the same way an ordinary jury is, to cast aside any complaints of a biased jury being emplaced in deciding there was sufficient in the illegal possession of classified documents issue for the DOJ to prefer actual charges against Trump.

What is happening is setting a precedent in US criminal law. I don't know if it will end up before the USSC yet with Trump attempting to railroad that fine body into doing him a favour.

From what's been printed, it seems Don expects to be going home after the end of todays proceedings as it may be simply a remand on own recognizance, especially if Eileen cannon is the judge on the bench. He has called for his supporters to show up at the courthouse in Florida. That may be the fly in the ointment for him, however much he wants an audience for when he walks into and out of the courthouse today besides those at his rallies in Miami.

Kari Lake, one of his supporters and the unsuccessful Republican gubernatorial candidate in Arizona pointedly said over the weekend that if prosecutors “want to get to president Trump,” they’re ”going to have to go through me, and 75 million Americans just like me. And most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA”.

You can bet your house on the fact that he's considered it

Imagine the **** that would hit the fan if all the Trumps defected to Russia? 😂😂😂

More like Saudi Arabia
