He’s charged with falsifying business records to cover up a crime.

An unspecified crime. Has that even been revealed in testimony or evidence?

Would any crime do? Murder? Robbing a bank? Jaywalking?

Doesn't matter. It's a political trial. Stefanik has even filed a complaint that the judge was hand-picked.

They don't care about the application of the law, they only care about a conviction. Even knowing that multiple grounds exist for that conviction to be overturned, from a goofy bootstrapping of state law into federal law, selective prosecution, inability to obtain a fair trial, the denial of expert witnesses for the defense, the introduction of non-bearing salacious testimony, the weird jury instructions...It all points to a political show trial.

Americans can only hope that this current season of lawfare backfires spectacularly. Nothing breeds avoidance in American politics as knowing your tactics will get you savaged at the ballot box.

They have reached a verdict.

Beat me to it. The Jury requested 20 minutes thirty minutes ago. Merchan is back on the bench. Should be any minute.

[George K]

Guilty on 34 counts.

[LuFins Dad]

Unfrigging believable.

Told ya. It's a political trial.

They shredded the law, fixed the trial and pissed on the Constitution.

Payback is hell and the stupid-ass Demonrat zealots have opened a door best left shut.

It's now open season on ex-Presidents.

And some of you dumb bastards are worried about Trump being a fascist dictator?

Bwhahahahahaha!

Oh, my giddy aunt!

[George K]

Trump gave a little speech. He was unusually quiet, and looked very tired.

[Copper]

There is a bright side.

Clinton and Obama will be going to jail.

Dont worry guys, it’s not over until the Fat Guy goes to Sing Sing.

[George K]

What are the odds that this will be reversed on appeal?

[LuFins Dad]

Still a NY Appellate Court, no? What makes you think it would be any better?

[Copper]

When do the mostly peaceful riots start?

[jon-nyc]

After sentencing I imagine.

Do we know when that is?

July 11. Two weeks after the 1st debate, and before the RNC convention.

I need another AR, a dozen P-mags, a case of SS109 and a case of 7.62x39 FMJ.
