A New York judge ruled Thursday that Donald Trump will stand trial in March on charges related to the Stormy Daniels coverup. Assuming the case goes forward as scheduled, Trump will be the first former president ever to be criminally tried. It will also be the first criminal case to slot in place among the complicated judicial calendar Trump is facing in this election year, and it means Trump will almost certainly face a jury before Election Day. In three other jurisdictions—Georgia state court and federal courts in Florida, and Washington, D.C.—Trump has been indicted on charges related to the 2020 elections and his retention of classified documents, but the timetable for those cases remains unclear.
I think it's way more likely that he gets sentenced to house arrest, which he could serve at Mar a Lago. The other option is to have Secret Service agents following him around inside a prison trying to protect him from the other inmates (and possibly the guards), and I don't think either the prisons or the Secret Service want to deal with that.
Actually they could throw him in a maximum security prison and condem him to solitary confinement (for his own protection you know) and that would negate the need for the Secret Service
"Yeah, he's a convicted felon, but we can't put him in jail because that would inconvenience the Secret Service."
Nope. Sorry it's a burden for them, but they can figure it out. Make a prison out of the brig on an abandoned military base in the middle of nowhere with him as the only prisoner. It worked for Rudolph Hess.
If he gets jail time for a state case he can't pardon himself. It'd be interesting how the state would handle it. Would they let him defer his prison sentence until after his term?
None at all. As a last resort they'll (successfully) make a incompetency plea, which is true. The man isn't competent enough to tie his shoes without adult supervision.
The most likely situation is barred from running for President while he continues to spew lies and vitriol from the sidelines. We also can’t ignore the possibility of his progeny running for office thanks to the dynastic view these scumbag wealthy types tend to take of their money and power.
Particularly enjoyable is no more of this jet-setting on campaign bullshit in lieu of sitting in a series of dreary courtrooms for the rest of his days
Yep. The entire gov has decided that decisions made by the president "related to nat sec" can never be prosecuted. On one hand it makes sense on the other hand it opens the door to literal genocide.
Some religious types are pointing-out a page on www.BenjaminLCorey.com which identifies that Trump's matching the anti-christ/biblical-abomination of the End Time rather well..
However, until he is made illegal to be ruler of the US, there is one of those items ( from Daniel ) that hasn't come-true yet.
According to that page, iirc, Daniel states that ~ he is not even legal to be king ~ or something like that, and that hasn't happened, so therefore there is still 1 mismatch between the Christian biblical prophecies-set & the evidence. ( the Jewish set doesn't include any of the New Testament stuff, hence it is the Christian set which is more-completely predicting/accusing ).
I'm only pointing this out.
I didn't believe until just-recently, that authority in the US would have the spine to make it illegal for him to be ruler, but now it looks like 1 or more of the .. 91 criminal charges, is it .. may stick, so now I'm having to accept that that ancient scientifically-testable-prediction-set may actually hit all its points, this year.
