The fact that it’s been this long for the matter to come to trial has costs that have already been incurred.
Enough rope I guess and when she jerks his leash his head will pop off. The GOP primaries are months away and the election well over a year, officially nobody is running for anything yet. In Canada elections are 60 days from the call by the party in power, a non-confidence vote, or mandatory date, keeps the money down and we don't have endless election cycles, but can focus on policy and not raising money for the next go round. In America these past few decades it's become election time all the time and the need for money never stops.
Wouldn’t he have to appeal from prison if convicted?
Up to the judge I should think, but these are serious crimes and involve obstruction of justice and he is on release or bail in other jurisdictions. The only factor I care about is him winning the GOP primary before the convention and then going to prison or locked up in jail waiting to go there. I'd like to see the GOP ripped apart over the 14th as Trump goes down with an epic republican loss in 24. I'm certain he is disqualified anyway, but a conviction in DC over J6 would finish any debate over the 14th applying to him. I'd like to see the GOP in the position of having a disqualified candidate on the eve of the election and basically concede the election to Biden as the cell door slams behind Trump's ass.

You mean he isn’t really a billionaire prior to running for president?This one will hurt.
Trump inflated net worth by $2.2 billion, NY attorney general alleges
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) alleged former President Trump inflated his net worth by as much as $2.2 billion, according to court documents filed Wednesday.
The allegation came as part of James’s lawsuit against Trump, the Trump Organization and two of the former president’s children alleging more than a decade of fraud.
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump both currently serve as executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization, playing prominent roles in their father’s business arm. Ivanka Trump was previously included in the lawsuit, but later dismissed from it by a state appeals judge.
James included the new figure in a court filing urging a judge to partially rule against Trump ahead of the scheduled Oct. 2 trial.
She alleged that Trump inflated his net worth by hundreds of millions of dollars between 2011 and 2021. In 2014, James accused Trump of exaggerating his net worth by as much as $2.225 billion.
“While this is just the tip of a much larger iceberg of deception Plaintiff is prepared to expose at trial — which would result in carving off billions more from Mr. Trump’s net worth — it is more than sufficient to permit this Court to rule as a matter of law that each [statement of financial conditions] from 2011 to 2021 was false or misleading,” James wrote.
The lawsuit purports that Trump’s company falsely inflated and deflated the value of its assets to pay lower taxes and improve its insurance coverage. James is seeking $250 million in financial penalties, in addition to barring Trump and his children from serving as officers or directors of New York-registered or licensed corporations.
Attorneys for Trump argued that the “undisputed record” in the case establishes the former president as a “multi-billionaire” presiding over a “wildly successful” international real estate and licensing empire for decades.
“Yet despite these undisputed facts, and despite herself admitting herein President Trump is a successful billionaire even by her own manipulated standards, the NYAG has spent considerable time and taxpayer dollars chasing after President Trump by wading into wholly private, and successfully consummated, commercial agreements — the provisions of which have been fully satisfied — between highly sophisticated parties,” the joint motion reads.
Attached to the motion was a transcript of Trump’s more than six-hour deposition with prosecutors in April.
In the deposition, Trump repeatedly attacked prosecutors, calling the case “ridiculous” and a “disgrace.”
“And it’s a shame that somebody that’s done such a good job, the Convention Center in New York, so many things I did for this City, the job in the West Side of Manhattan, thousands of people employed and now I have to come and justify myself to you,” Trump said.

I think his “rob Peter to stiff Paul” modus is at stall speed. His cash flow problems must be chin-deep at this point. It’s entirely possible that he can’t afford his customary full Attorney Task Group, or even one lawyer prepared for The Shitstorm To Come. I would love to see him reduced to court-appointed representation on his way to Federal housing assistance.You mean he isn’t really a billionaire prior to running for president?
I used to watch those repo guys do just that
It’s not theorizing when there is a concrete conspiracy.I used to watch those repo guys do just that
Something about you had to have the flight logs and mango probably hid them in his ex wife’s grave
Oops now I’m a conspiracy theorist
Voters cast their vote for a slate of electors, not directly for their candidate for prez. If Trump were disqualified before the election, it would be up to the electors to pick the winner.

With Trump's indictments, possible conviction date and the 14th in play it's becoming less worrisome and more entertaining. It sure is interesting and there are a lot of moving pieces, this shit is American history in the making as much as the civil war or WW2 and might end up shaping the country as much as those events.Voters cast their vote for a slate of electors, not directly for their candidate for prez. If Trump were disqualified before the election, it would be up to the electors to pick the winner.
I would love to see the chaos that would cause. But hope that their choice would be moot because Biden won the election outright.
AP EXPLAINS: What happens if a candidate for president dies?
WASHINGTON (AP) — It's a month before Election Day and President Donald Trump is in the hospital, infected with a virus that has killed more than 209,000 Americans.
Better a civil war inside the GOP than in America, I think the weight of his legal problems will bring Trump down and he won't end up winning the nomination and if he does there is the 14th. The problem the GOP has is there is no way to rid themselves of Trump without being attacked, if he loses the nomination, he was cheated by RINOs and it was stolen by those who "sold out", his base might stay home in November. If he wins the nomination and gets turfed when he files the papers in the states, then they are screwed with him in prison by then. Like I said a conviction over J6 in DC this spring will surely evoke the 14th. He will attack his GOP replacement, if they can file in time because Trump will wait until the deadline to file!Voters cast their vote for a slate of electors, not directly for their candidate for prez.

I have noticed on some of the pro Ukraine tweets that I googled do not come up if I quote the user and a section of the post. Never had a problem before the sale. Must be because he had to lay off half the staff.
Grounds for an earlier trial date. Can't have a defendant poisoning the jury pool.
January 2, 2024 it is, then. All the 1/6 Committee documents are online for anybody to see. His lawyers used all the evidence as a reason to delay the trial. I saw some woman affiliated with the Federalist Society repeat the same lie that is easily debunked. Thank you very much.
