Does Trump ever do any jail time? (5 Viewers)

[Optimus Prime]

Everything I've seen and heard says that the split second Donald Trump is no longer president there will be flood of charges waiting for him

And if he resigns and Pence pardons him there are a ton of state charges as an understudy waiting in the wings if the fed charges can't perform

What do you think the likelihood of there being a jail sentence?

In every movie and TV show I've ever seen, in every political thriller I've ever read about a criminal and corrupt president there is ALWAYS some version of;

"We can't do that to the country",

"A trial would tear the country apart",

"For the nation to heal we need to move on" etc.

Would life imitate art?

Even with the charges, even with the proof the charges are true will the powers that be decide, "we can't do that to the country"?

Least shocking news ever. Trump is practically begging his thugs to do this stuff.

The GOP is now basically the mafia.

What happened to "Thou shall not bear false witness." - so If they say they dont remember and they do then they actually break one of the 10th commandments

They just ripped off their masks totally. No more pretense to follow Jesus is possible.

Well..Jim Jordan has made it clear how far he is willing to go to protect Trump. After Bragg sent a response to Jordan’s committee stating, in effect, “This is a state matter, so stay out of it.” Jordan and Comer sent him a response. This response stated, directly, that if Bragg did not cooperate with them, they would blatantly violate the 10th amendment. They would draft legislation to prevent any state or local officials from prosecuting a former president.

The letter says that the judiciary committee “must now consider whether to draft legislation that would, if enacted, insulate current and former presidents from such improper state and local prosecutions.”

States rights, lol. This is just transparently desperate, imo. What a weak small man.

Most of the States Rights arguments have been for bad reasons. You could start with the Civil War…

Unconstitutional

Jordan knows nothing about his actual job. I have read that in all his time in the House, he has never authored a piece of legislation. He’s a joke.

also, I like this take:

Jordan is a looney tunes hack and fraud. He's on the same level as MTG.

They love making empty threats. Those loons know that law would never pass Congress, much less get signed into law.

Even if it did pass in Congress, it should get ruled unconstitutional. But then, who knows with this iteration of SCOTUS.

Or more importantly, would be patently unconstitutional. There’s no basis in federal authority for such a law.
