Poll says "Majority of Americans Think Trump Investigations are Fair…Three in Four Say Trump Did Something Wrong"

@Axtremus

They’re half right. Trump did things wrong but the Manhattan DA isn’t in the right here.

[George K]

Indicted today.

[George K]

It's a felony indictment.

[LuFins Dad]

Mr. Trump will be the first former president to face criminal charges.

But he won’t be the last, now that this Pandora’s box has been opened.

[jon-nyc]

And a shit case.

WTF is taking Georgia so long?

[Copper]

Yes, a convicted felon can run for president.

Ms. Kohrs might have created a few problems in that one.

[jon-nyc]

@LuFins-Dad Only perceptions. She wasn’t a juror or anything. Case still has to be tried.

And to think, poor Tucker already had a show planned, guests lined up, etc.

[jon-nyc]

Has the former President issued any, uh, statements?

[George K]

Hallelujah!

Did Bragg just reelect Donald Trump?

Nobody should be above the law. Is it a good case? I have no idea as I wasn't sitting on the grand jury. Apparently they thought so.

If a current. past, or future president breaks the law, charge them like any other citizen, and let a grand jury decide if there is reason to take it to trial.

I for one, welcome the opening of "Pandora's box" for all government employees, elected, or appointed. All of them. Even and especially, congress critters, senators, the FBI, CIA, DHS, IRS etc.

We did away with the concept of "The King" a long time ago. The president, sitting or former, should not be above the law. Period.

Let's rewrite the law for the presidential pardon too. It should be limited and need to be vetted by a independent council.

I absolutely 100% support the recent passage of the bill to take the war powers back from the executive. Giving them to the executive was blatantly unconstitutional.

Too much damn power in the hands on one individual.

A much welcomed, and long overdue reinstatement of the American government ideal.

I think that'll take a Constitutional amendment. THat's a big deal, and, though your thoughts are good, this is very, very unlikely.

From the RWEC:

"No doubt Trump will get a political bump in the short term, but what if the case is still going on when the primary season begins? Will Republican primary voters really want to nominate a candidate who is in the midst of a criminal proceeding that theoretically could send him to jail? "

@George-K

There’s a reasonable chance he’ll be fighting criminal indictments in two states and the US by the end of the year.

They told us if Trump was elected we’d be a banana republic. Looks like they were right.

[jon-nyc]

This case is weak but GA and DoJ not at all. AFAIK
