Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case
The report, which said the special counsel’s office stood “fully behind” the merits of the prosecution, amounted to an extraordinary rebuke of the president-elect.
“But for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” the report said.
You had 4 FUCKING YEARS to do this! This doesn’t even qualify for too little too late. You did nothing for 4 years but stuck your head up your collective asses and now you make claims that he should have been convicted and sentenced? Complicit traitors.
You're mixing special counsel with the AG. Jack Smith did his job, it was Garland who waited 2 years before starting the case and eventually assigning him.
And Qannon was certainly amenable to Trump's request to push back basically every date involved in the case.
And we have had almost 250 years to make sure we have laws that prevent criminals like trump from becoming president, but that didn't happen either.
If by "we", you mean the best politicians and judges that money can buy.
The so-called guardrails against undue interference are all from a time where everyone expected politicians to always act and argue in good faith and where corporations as we know them today didn't exist.
It's not for fun that every single other constitution still in effect is newer. Other countries have continued to renew their laws to better suit changing circumstances like the Founders intended for the US to do.
If you make a "no felons can be president" then you give state and local DAs the power to destroy someone's election chances. That's a dangerous proposition and I don't support it, because you know Texas would start fucking with every decent future left-wing candidate.
On the other hand, if you're suggesting that he should be behind bars already, and therefore ineligible for president on account of "he's locked the fuck up right now", I agree.
Who do you mean by who, you fuckin` fruit cake? Did you fookin charge him in U.S. court? Eh, silverbuttons?
They were really going to do it too! Until they did nothing instead
Those meddling boomers... Darn them!!1!1!
At which point do we call a spade a spade and declare the DOJ and the prosecutors to be accomplices for their roles in protecting an obviously guilty grifter at the expense of justice and the common good?
We can call them whatever we want, but nothing is going to happen to any of them.
Sure, but just being honest about it in stead of making up a ton of bullshit excuses would still be preferable to the pretzel logic of the media and the Blue No Matter Who apparatchiks.
We did long ago. All of the prosecution for four years ago should have started 3.9 years ago, and it didn't, and that was an active choice by DOJ leadership and Joe Biden.
(And screw them for doing that.)
Such a shame they waited so long to start the trial and gave Trump every opportunity to delay. But surely Trump would have gone to prison if Harris won. Despite all the other things Democrats did not do to get him in jail, that would have been the thing. You know, four years is just such a short period of time for a trial. Everyone know you need exactly 4.5 years.
Isn’t it super cool how that STILL WOULDNT HAVE MATTERED
What will happen now after Trump term? Can't they take up the case again?
I don't think there will be an 'after Trump term' unless he passes while in office. Dictators don't usually leave office.
He said he shouldn't have left in 2020. He figured if he had stay they couldn't have physically remove him. He is going try it this time.
Yes, if trump ever leaves office alive or doesn’t get an instant pardon from the next guy.
Those are two very big ifs
He also decided he could pardon himself last time, so there's that.
The supreme court would likely get more extreme. I don't think hes getting in trouble with a 7-2, 8-1, or 9-0 supreme court.
“Oh yeah, he definitely would’ve been convicted.” “Then why wasn’t he?” “We’ll see, what had happened was…”
Clown country
Are the Yankees still mad at the Cowboys?
admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial never meant shit
Trump was kind of pardoned by the manipulated population.
