MODERATORS
"They let him get away with anything."
"Ok he's under investigation but they'll let him slide."
"Ok, he's been charged, but they'll never convict him."
The Trump organization is already criminally convicted of fraud and Weiselberg already spent time at Rikers Island.
Trump has already been found liable for rape and defamation, and another case for that act is going to add to his millions in damages that he will have to pay.
His business in New York is already a dead man walking. He's going to have to liquidate nearly everything to pay off the damages that the Judge will decide from this trial in December, if not earlier, depending on witnesses the defense calls.
There are likely going to be criminal fraud charges brought for the same actions and intent being uncovered in this case.
In March, the Federal criminal case begins for election interference and obstruction. Those charges will put him in prison before the '24 election. After that, Fulton Co. GA and Federal docs case will go forward and he will get more convictions and more time.
We all want the wheels of justice to turn faster on blatant fucks like this, but that's not how the system works.
Trump is going to die in prison if he doesn't off himself first.
I don't believe most of this to be realistic but I appreciate your optimism. Meanwhile Trump is leading in polling in many swing states because apparently inflation is way worse than fascism.
I don't care what you "believe." You don't understand the justice system. This isn't a critique, it's a fact.
I also don't give the slightest shit about polling. Polls have been consistently incorrect for the last decade, and are incessantly spun to create controversy.
It's not a fact. You're predicting events of the future that haven't yet happened. I don't care what you know about the legal system, you absolutely cannot call it fact.
You are not a supreme being with the power of knowing or influencing the future. That's just nonsense.
Also I hope you're right.
