Trump on Trial

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

I was hoping for the other Miller. Hard to believe he's unscathed.

Maybe there's more to come than what is implied by the first indictment.
There definitely is, I think Smith is trying to create distance between trump and the other indictees to be so it doesn't muck up a trial schedule.

Possibly more for Donald too.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) reacts to Trump's third indictment and says the case needs to be moved out of D.C"

No defence offered. But I'm pretty sure they told DeSantis at Harvard Law that criminal cases are tried in the jurisdiction the crime occurred. Unless there's good reason for a change of venue, which they don't have. But why do you think the Repug's think it's "fair" for one trial to be in a very pro-Trump biased court and not fair if a trial is in a court that may not be favorable to him? A person wanting justice would want the most neutral court they could find.

Trump lawyers have suggested West Virginia because it's more diverse (really).

It's really interesting (and scary) reading responses to Trumps indictment by leaders and news media that support him. I seem to recall that in the past excuses would at least be somewhat believable. Now it's all straight falsehoods or blatant omissions. The indictment is really easy reading. But most supporters won't crack it open. Hence the reason it's so easy for these people to spread falsehoods.
You must be so proud.
Opps.
Several other active GOP senators also voted to confirm Chutkan including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has criticized her over the case. He said on his podcast that she has a “reputation for being far left” and argued that people can anticipate her being “relentlessly hostile” to the former president.

Cruz, in a social media post, sarcastically wrote that a report on Chutkan’s donations to former President Barack Obama’s campaign and victory fund was “comforting.”

The donations in question go back to at least two years before Cruz’ “yea” vote for the judge, Federal Election Commission data reveals.

Other X users mocked the South Carolina Republican over his take on the case....

@mehdirhasan

If they want to move the 1/6 trial out of DC because the judge is allegedly anti-Trump & the jury may be too, then they should also advocate for moving the classified documents trial out of Florida where the judge is pro-Trump & the jury may be too. Or, they should just be quiet.
Can all defendants pick their judges and ‘friendly’ venues?

Asking for the 158,215 people currently in federal prison.

I know they're stupid and all but misrepresenting the charges is not a sustainable defense.

Should be interesting, most if not all the witnesses against trump will be Republicans and the stars will be Mike Pence and Mark Meadows.
Good point though.

It'll be real embarrassing for him on cross examination as the reason he did it was probably pure pandering.

No, he's not "leading in all Polls".

RCP Average 7/7 - 8/1:
Biden (D) 44.9
Trump (R) 44.0
Spread: Biden +0.9

Just realized he refers to his felony indictments as "lawsuits".

Reality check?

He's in for a very rude awakening.

Republican Group Demands 'Consequences' For Trump In Scathing Fox News Ad
The Republican Accountability Project wants Trump to face the music.


... The organization said the video is part of a six-figure ad campaign to run on Fox News nationally, as well as in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin over the next week, including on “Hannity” and “Fox & Friends.”



The Republican Accountability Project has been running videos online and on TV against Trump and some of his biggest enablers in Congress.
