Does Trump ever do any jail time? (1 Viewer)

[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"?

If that's true, the case is going to turn into a shirtshow. She will do anything to protect Trump.

That story isn't entirely accurate. She was never a special master. She assigned one.

Good! She gets another chance to put her integrity on display. Her last chance was publicly smacked down by the appellate court in what should have been an embarrassing ruling by her peers. This will be a jury trial and her actions during that trial will be further limited to actual precedent and actual law.

Joyce Vance says there’s a robust mechanism that the DOJ can use to ask her to recuse if she should by chance get the permanent assignment. She says the 11th Circuit will never allow its credibility to be challenged by leaving her on the case.



The good news is that the 11th is a “rocket docket”, where cases move quickly.

(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump acknowledged on tape in a 2021 meeting that he had retained “secret” military information that he had not declassified, according to a transcript of the audio recording obtained by CNN.

“As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t,” Trump says, according to the transcript.

CNN obtained the transcript of a portion of the meeting where Trump is discussing a classified Pentagon document about attacking Iran. In the audio recording, which CNN previously reported was obtained by prosecutors, Trump says that he did not declassify the document he’s referencing, according to the transcript…….

Yep, definitely something I was concerned about. Getting the right judge is going to matter in these cases.

BREAKING
Two of Donald Trump's lawyers resign
Things are moving fast, we have just seen a statement from two of Donald Trump's lawyers, saying they have resigned as legal council.

Jim Trusty and John Rowley announced their decision to quit.

"This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the 6 January investigation," the pair said in a statement.

They both said it was "an honour" to spend the last year defending Trump, but due to the case being filed in Miami, Trusty and Rowley feel it is a "logical moment" to step aside.

The statement came not long after Trump's own annnouncement on Truth Social.

Read they found out Trump was going to fire them so they decided to beat him to it. I’m sure Trump is looking for someone to blame. Although, if they were telling Trump he was safe maybe they deserved to be fired.

Another delay tactic!!! He will try to delay his Tues hearing and when that fails, he will try to hire a new defense team to draw out the process even further. We've ALL OF THIS from him before.

I've wanted to fly a "hang the forker" flag for a while now with a silhouette of an already hanged Trump which would be easily identifiable because of the hair.

But I live in Pensacola, Florida, so probably ill advised to ever go through with it.
