Trump on Trial

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Mehdi Hasan Names What ‘Must Be Killing’ Trump About His Legal Battles
The MSNBC host spots a "huge irony" in some of the legal actions involving the former president.


MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan called out Donald Trump’s “long history of racism” going back well before he entered politics ― and pointed out how the former president has been “particularly vicious and bigoted” toward Black women.

“So there is a huge irony to the fact that at the center of his many legal troubles right now are three strong Black women,” he said.

He named Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who indicted Trump and 18 others for alleged interference in the election in Georgia; U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the federal election interference case; and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has a civil case against Trump going to trial in the autumn.

Hasan said:
It’s never not a good time to thank Black women in America for their services to the republic, for stepping up again and again to save American democracy through their sacrifices, their strength, their activism, their votes. But this month in particular we should thank Black women for doing what a bunch of white guys have failed to do for years: hold Donald Trump ― hold a former president ― accountable for his alleged criming.
“And the fact that they’re the ones doing it must be killing Trump,” he concluded.

See his full segment below:

If he were a garden-variety billionaire, he'd write a check for $200,000, knowing he'd get it back when he shows up for court. But that garden variety billionaire doesn't have a PAC to pay the bondsman. PAC gives the bondsman $20,000 non-refundable, bondsman guarantees the rest and voila! Trump has no personal risk or exposure whether or not he shows up for court. Sleazebag.
If he skips does that mean that Dog the Bounty Hunter goes after the PAC rather than P01135809?
:lol: No, Dog would dog the bond jumper into the ground since he is the one on whom the bond was set. The PAC is pretty much a stander-by with money.

Away?

https://hartmannreport.com/p/saturday-r ... dium=email

"In the same week that Donald Trump “joked” on his Nazi-infested social media site about flying to Russia to live with Putin under a “gold dome,” we learned that he transferred ownership of Mar-a-Lardo to his son, Don Jr. via a corporation that Junior solely owns. Given that Florida has a homestead exemption to bankruptcy, this isn’t because he’s thinking the trials may wipe him out: he still gets to keep his “home” even if he ends up destitute and his debts are eliminated by a court. But if he flees justice, hopping on his plane for, say, Saudi Arabia (like Idi Amin did back when I was working in Uganda in 1979/1980), his property could be subject to seizure by a court. Another weird thing that may suggest he’s a flight risk was his bail, which the Georgia court set at $200,000. When you post a cash bond, you get it all back when your case is finally adjudicated (whether you’re sent to jail or freed). But if you’re thinking of skipping out (or can’t afford the entire bond amount — the most common reason people use bail bondsmen), you have the option of paying a bail bondsman 10% of the total bond, a fee that is not refunded to you, and the bondsman then puts up the entire $200,000 from his own money that he will lose if you successfully skip town. Trump’s a notorious cheapskate and could easily have written a check for the $200K, but if he leaves the country to avoid justice he’d lose the entire thing: by using a bail bondsman, he only loses $20K. And, sure enough, Trump paid $20K to a Georgia bail bondsman to cover his bail. I realize this is all skating close to conspiracy theory territory, but it’s a pattern prosecutors have seen over and over in years past among other career criminals. And nobody has yet taken away Trump’s passport…"
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

That's a weird lapse. Do they want him to leave? If he skipped would he then claim to be a government in exile?
Trump dismissive as New York attorney general accuses him of inflating his net worth by $2 billion

Donald Trump defended his real estate empire and his presidency in a face-to-face clash with the New York attorney general suing him for fraud, testifying at a closed-door grilling in April that his company is flush with cash — and claiming he saved “millions of lives” by deterring nuclear war when he was president.
:wtf:
Trump, in testimony made public Wednesday, said it was a “terrible thing” that Attorney General Letitia James was suing him over claims he made on annual financial statements about his net worth and the value of his skyscrapers, golf courses and other assets.
GoLetitiaGo!
... James sued Trump last September, alleging he inflated the value of assets like his Mar-a-Lago estate for at least a decade. Her lawsuit seeks $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump doing business in New York.
Bleed him dry, kick him out of NY.
... “I think you would have nuclear holocaust if I didn’t deal with North Korea,” Trump testified. “I think you would have a nuclear war, if I weren’t elected. And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth.”

Thanks. Sounds like it would have to be settled by the courts, and only then if the Fulton County Sheriff chooses to push it. It's funny that the P01135809 campaign is claiming that it has exclusive ownership of a pic it didn't take or pay for. They will lie about everything, absolutely everything.

Judge rules Trump in 2019 defamed writer who has already won a sex abuse and libel suit against him

Four months after a jury found that Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that still more of the ex-president’s comments about her were libelous. The decision means that an upcoming second civil trial will concern only how much more he has to pay her....

Witness in Trump documents case reached deal with prosecutors, ex-attorney says

A key witness in the case accusing former U.S. President Donald Trump of mishandling classified documents after leaving office has entered into a deal with prosecutors to provide testimony, his former attorney said in a Wednesday court filing.

The deal was reached after U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office threatened to prosecute the witness, who is the head of information technology at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Florida resort, for lying to a grand jury, the attorney, Stanley Woodward, said in the filing....
