Unfortunately this


Agree with the sentiment that it’s unfortunate. Suspect though that Merchan is being super cautious about not providing grounds for overturning a conviction on appeal should Trump be convicted.

He's a looser who's time is finally up. Just like he could have be richer had he just invested his daddy's money instead of all his FAILED business adventures, he could have gotten away with all his crimes had he not run for President. Dude flew to close to the sun and finally got burned. Sadly, he's burned down most of our institutions along with him.

I’m betting on a hung jury but he’s charged with 34 felony counts, of course if guilty he could do some prison time.

Oh he’ll be found guilty. White collar crimes don’t serve time. Fine (which he will never pay), probation, loss of voting rights (oh the irony) and forever a convicted felon.

Awww. Maybe he should have thought about that before he did his hush money nonsense.

Oh Lord.

I learned this from watching Perry Mason, back in... I can't remember how many decades!

Any idiot who's watched a courtroom drama knows the prosecution goes last!!

If he is jailed, it will be for a very short period of time (months), and will likely not happen until his appeals are exhausted - after the elections.


Is this true? NY prosecutors chime in here, please.

I thought when you are convicted and sentenced for a crime, you start your sentence immediately.

If you win your appeal, then you are released.

Is this not how it works in NYS?

100% of the country knows that Trump is a criminal a dozen times over. No one really believes Trump is being railroaded.

The 40% who support Trump support him BECAUSE he is a criminal and the groups they align with have pandered and bribed their way into the patronage network. Republicans have no use for an honorable President. It’s what they fear more than anything.


You think 40% (or whatever) of Americans are beneath contempt? Maybe they are also trying to vote for the best answer for their country. The arrogance is astonishing!


They know that Trump is a corrupt idiot wannabe fascist and they support him because he is their corrupt idiot wannabe fascist. Listen to them. They are deplorable in a dozen ways and are very proud of it.

Agreed. The arrogance (and general ignorance) of the 40% who support him is indeed astonishing. He’s obviously not the best answer for anything. He just wants to be President to grift and because people clap for him.

Mandela? You can’t be talking about Nelson Mandela, as that makes no sense and is an utterly perverse suggestion.

Trump compared to Mandela,? Hardly.


Both males.

Beyond that, not sure there is a single thing in common.
