Trump was just indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election
Former President Donald Trump was indicted for an unprecedented third time on August 1, adding another set of serious federal charges to the mounting legal issues he faces.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wasn't he indicted before ? What happens next ?
He was! He now has three indictments under his belt.
- New York State hush money payments
- Classified Documents Case
- January 6 Insurrection
If you ask me, now we throw a few back tonight and wait for the fourth indictment coming from Georgia this month. 😎
Georgia is interesting in that it's pardon proof
How come?
A president can pardon federal crimes but not state crimes.
Georgia law makes pardons an option only five years after the completion of a sentence. Getting a sentence commuted would require the approval of a state panel.
Oh I see. I assume the govenor can pardon state crimes?
Not in GA
Is he ever going to jail or not ?
You ask me? Donny boy is royally fucked. The documents case is a few steps too far, and even a rich former president of the US will have to sit behind bars for that one. Hey SHOULD be in jail already for that one.
...aight so I'm fucking stupid or something and can't figure out how to link to another user's comment (it's just the chain link icon literally on the comment right? ...but when I click that it directs to a different comment... is this a bug or am I really just stupid?) but I don't want to just steal this guy's work, some I'm linking to his profile instead:
