You would think those on the political right would be enthusiastic supporters of jail being the deterrent for anyone breaking the law.
What about that shaman bloke who "fessed up" ,got a jail sentence ,served his time and repudiated his apology when he got out?
Once a nut case always a nut case?
Does the body politic rot from the head down?
News coming out on Twitter that "Trump employee 4" in the documents case has switched to an independent lawyer from a Trump paid one and has since retracted his original testimony and is now providing testimony that implicates Trump and others re: deleting security camera footage in Mar-A-Lago.
There's history of fascistic groups leveraging liberal democratic systems in order to gain power. It's not a new angle that Trump and co. are running, here, but it's always needed fertile ground of receptive voters, otherwise they'd just be some crazies shouting out in the wind and a harmless joke. Social media has allowed misinformation to run rife and mob mentalities to form and that, along with the austerity arising from the 2008 recession, has been the changes which have laid the ground for Trump and co. to attack the democratic processes of the United States - to undermine confidence in them, to promote cynicism and ignorance. The next thing will be to claim that they don't recognise the courts trying them.
Trump and his cronies had a bash at the edifices of their Republic in 2020 and, though they swayed a bit, they held. These court cases and 2024 will represent the next go around. Lot of sharks in the water who smell blood and will have been refining their methods and tactics to usurp power, and they're not going to go quietly. It may not be pleasant, but these elements will have to be confronted and faced down in order for America to truly move forward.
Mark Meadows going to Federal Court to try and stop his arrest in Georgia next week. He asked Fani Willis for an extension as his case to try and move it to his indictment to Federal jurisdiction is due to be heard on Monday. Fani said, not a chance of moving the date.
MM is claiming he was acting within his role in the WH. Yeah, trying to suppress the Presidential election result
It's worth reading the letter....
We have a flipper...
So there may now be evidence that Trumps legal team and the other defendants conspired to knowingly submit false testimony.
I think there is a word for that.
Just trying to upload the photoshoped photo of Trump on this guy's Twitter page.
Made me laugh :-)
Prison lol!
Does anyone have any theory to why YouTube recently has allowed people to question 2020 election again?
Conspiracy Theories forum tbh imho.
The Georgia case is quite literally a conspiracy theory.
No, it’s a conspiracy indictment.
Agree no chance of prison even though he and his co-accused deserve it.
as for YouTube, scummy clickbaiters be scummy clickbaiting I suppose
Embarrassing
Harvey Silvergate, Eastman's defense lawyer, might have a loose mouth
Seems to imply that his client has been dangled the possibility of a plea bargain in exchange for a suspended sentence. But him and his client seem to be taking the political stance that is extortion so he will not be a govt witness.
Just read an article explaining that the GJ that continue to meet after the MaL indictments were unsealed, was waiting to hear from this witness who had been provided the new, non-Trump funded lawyer. So, Judge Cannon asked Smith to explain why another GJ was meeting, and now has her answer. Time for the MaL case to proceed.
F*ck me, that's quite the thumbnail!
I was wondering what Danny Healy-Rae was doing in the Trump thread for a sec.
Imagine Trump with a suspended sentence hahaha!
The judge told him not to mention the case on Truth Social last week, an hour later he was attacking the grand jury!
He certainly has the demeanor of someone chainsmoking their way through this fiasco
I’m surprised Trump is waiting till Thursday evening to hand himself in Fulton County when he could have done it Wednesday evening before the debate and taken all the attention away from it.
This is to ensure nobody at the debate can seize the thursday news cycle, making the impact of the debate the next day quite feckless.
With co-defendants like these who needs prosecutors
The likes of Shafer and Meadows reasoning for wanting to go to federal court is, well, they are pointing the finger at Trump. These efforts seem doomed to fail though they will make the RICO defense that much harder to mount.
“Mr. Shafer and the other Republican Electors in the 2020 election acted at the direction of the incumbent President and other federal officials,” Shafer’s attorney wrote in a petition seeking to move the Fulton County case to federal court.
To bolster his proposition, Shafer provided new documents that underscore the Trump campaign’s close involvement in efforts to assemble a group of pro-Trump activists on Dec. 14, 2020 to sign documents claiming to be Georgia’s legitimate presidential electors. Those false electors were later used by Trump allies to attempt to foment a conflict on Jan. 6, 2021 and derail the transfer of power to President Joe Biden.
Mugshots incoming!
Looking forward to trumps one, wonder which Maga grifter will try to raise money off it first, probably trump himself.
Also, can’t wait to see Rudys one.
He has given us so many classics...
It’s too early for a jump scare.
Trump will probably try and claim copyright over his mugshot so he can sell merch.
Forget MAGA. Trumps new hats for his followers.
Mysterious disappearance as Trump guys start flipping. 😂
When has the "I was only following orders" defence ever worked??
Don't worry, it'll be less than a week before he's selling official mug-shot t-shirts off his website. They'll be seen as collectors items in the MAGA universe.
