As a tactic, this is the kind of stuff that elected Trump.
Now, this is going to be overturned. When it is, does a really nice case for violating Trump's civil rights exist? I've read some think it does...

Secondly, is there a civil case in here, somewhere?

He gets sentenced in NY (5-4 SCOTUS) and Jack Smith can release his report. (As he should, it’s the law. Remember Hur’s report?)
I guess this will officially make him a convicted felon.

You mean the one that said the dried up, grifting, child molester was too senile to take to court despite his crimes? That report?

The one the said over and over there was insufficient evidence to pursue him and then he threw in that comment so he’d be a magat hero instead of a magat goat.
But the point is the Biden DoJ released it.

That’s the rub. Trump’s won’t show there was insufficient evidence to pursue him. Just not enough time, especially after scotus hit the ‘start over’ button in July.

IOW, you're willing to accept Hur's comment that there's insufficent evidence, but you won't accept the Hur's comment that, at the time the geezer was not quite as brain-addled as he is now.

I mentioned the Hur report. Despite knowing exactly what I was referring to you pretended to ask a clarifying question while your real intention was to frame it differently with some commentary. I did the same.

ETA: Word is that his "sentence" will be --- nothing. He will have the title, much to many people's delight, of "convicted felon,"
Does that change anything, other than bragging rights?
It further legitimizes the saying “anyone can be the President” by demonstrating that even a sentenced convicted felon can.

No, you used the Hur report's conclusions selectively.
"Not enough evidence to prosecute with reasonable chance of conviction"
Good Robert
"Senile old man."
MAGAT fodder.

I pointed out the real reason he didn’t pursue. But imagine what a goat (not GOAT) he’d be in maga world had he left it at that.

Heard some lawyers discussing todays "sentencing."
One comment was that it was "OK. You're done. Go live your life."
A more interesting one was a comment on the behavior of Merchan. In New York, court proceedings are not generally (if at all) televised. Merchan was explicit about not permitting any recording, audio or video, during this trial.
Yet, this morning, he wanted to have his comments aired.
Why?
Why did he break NY court tradition for this one event? Was it to demonize Trump? Was it for some self-aggranidizing motive? Regardless, it was highly unusual.

In any case, I don’t ever recall the legacy of either Ghandi or Mandela ever being too well received by the pseudo-conservative carnival barking faction on any incarnation of TNCR. Please correct me if I am mistaken in this regard.

The felony conviction is predicated on a federal crime, which he was never convicted of - alleged election interference. In fact, Merchan instructed the jury that they could select any of three alleged (but not charged in the trial) felonies. They didn't even have to agree on which one of three.
Interesting legal question, if he can't pardon himself on state offenses, if he pardons himself of any federal charges, do the state charges become moot?
