    Proud to be here with you all on this historic night. Hope it’s RICO and hope Lindsey Graham is included.

    Some of the many things that surprised me:

    • They want to try all 19 at once
    • They want the trial within 6 months

    This may be the most significant indictment, because the president can’t pardon a state crime.

      Worth noting, in Georgia, neither can the Governor. It’s a secret pardon committee who does that, and that’s ONLY after a certain period of time has been served.

      Ol’ Kemp can’t bail Trump out of this one.

        The only play for them at this point would be to somehow remove Willis and replace her with someone that will tank the case on purpose.

          It’s a random selection of judges now. There are 19 judges, and the computer assigns the case at random now that the indictment has been handed in. Worst game of Russian roulette.

            Someone still has to try the case. If they cleaned house at the Fulton da office they could have some sycophant show up to court and literally just tank the entire case.

    What crime hasn’t Donald Trump committed at this point?

    Unfucking believable…hes like destilled crime and a pile of shit wrapped up in lies.

      There are some bullshit laws making helping people illegal, like I think it’s illegal to give food to a homeless person some places. Probably hasn’t done that?

        Probably hasn’t made moonshine. Though, maybe he did and that s why he’s like this. Hard to say.

        That’s a myth, donating food is a protected act so long as its done in good faith.

        “Good Samaritan food donation protection act of 1996”

          Not a myth exactly. The good Samaritan is more about liability right? Well, some towns are designating only certain areas that people can give homeless food, in many senses punishing generosity to the poor.

            Nah, it’s a myth. They just need to be challenged and they’ll be gone soon thereafter since donations are generally considered expression.

                That doesn’t change the fact that it’s legal and you’re simply going to court to prove it as such, plus you’ll be case law which is pretty neat.

                  Not everyone has the money to even get a lawyer.

                  Maybe start thinking about the whole population instead of just the ones who’d think it was “neat” to set precedent.

      Given he’s spent enough of his life flaunting his wealth, I’m guessing he usually gets driven by a chauffeur, and doesn’t drive himself much. I’d totally believe he hadn’t broken any DUI laws, but I wouldn’t put it past him either.

      He hasn’t touched my butthole though I wish he had because apparently he’s just giving away money by not knowing when to shut the fuck up.

        the reports I’m seeing (guardian, for example) are saying 10 people are going to be receiving indictments. we don’t know how many more felonies to tack on to Trumps record-setting list of indictments, just yet.

            the OP is a stack of papers with an easily spoofed cover letter. It’s hardly authoritative on it’s own. I also can’t make out any specific names. we’re waiting for the details to become public. (so far as I know,) until then, it’s all speculation. here is the guardian report that is apparently being updated in real time

            edit: CNN has the indcitment, (though I can’t verify it directly from Fulton County.)

            41 counts of specific charges. My favorite belonging to trump is “impersonating a public official”

        If this were for sale at the book store, I’d buy it. Even as an audio book on Audible… I’d buy it. Narated by Obama? I’d buy it twice!

    As a Brit is is mad seeing all this stuff come out. I know he and Boris got a lot of comparisons, but Boris went down mainly due to his lying about having a party in lockdown which is nothing compared to this.

      Trump isn’t even down. Here’s still by far the favorite to win the Republican primary and be in the presidential race. Despite all of these things he continues to have a rabid following that will easily say all of this is just a setup. Cult 45 isn’t just a moniker, they truly are very cult-like.

      Says a lot about the different cultures too because here in the US a politician lying about having a party during lockdown would be praised by conservatives for sticking up for their “freedoms”

      Oh that’s funny, because what that guy said that one time? If you could find a ham sandwich that led criminal conspiracies in multiple states for multiple un-American ends I would hope you’d indict it too.
