Donald Trump says he'll be arrested on Tuesday. Halfway home to my goal of Trump and Hillary both being imprisoned, BUT.....

rojo · 2023-03-18T10:36:57-04:00

I've always thought it was embarrassing that the two people nominated for president in 2016 were Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton and joked it would be great to see both end up in prison.Well Trump is saying he'll be arrested on Tuesday for paying Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about their affair. Now, while my disgust for Trump and Hilary stemmed from my belief that that the Presidency should be reserved for the best of the best and we have 300 million to choose from,and I was choosing these two would be at the bottomof the list, but I'm not a fan of this Trump arrest.When electing people, we should hold the candidates to a very high standard. But we should not be prosecuting them for stuff they wouldn't be prosecuted for as normal citizens. That ends up turning the US into a kangaroo court wher the parties just jail the other side once they gain power.The logic for calling Trump's payment to Stormy a felony election law crime is a stretch.[quote]Reason Mag wrote:It looks like Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, intends to pursue criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. But the charges he seems to have in mind, based on a 2016 hush payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, are so iffy that they reinforce Trump's reflexive complaint that he is, as always, the victim of a long-running Democratic "witch hunt." Daniels claims she had a sexual affair with Trump in 2006, when he was married to his current wife, former First Lady Melania Trump. Although Trump denies the affair, he arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels in the fall of 2016 to keep her story out of the press. There is nothing inherently illegal about that payment. But Michael Cohen, the Trump lawyer who paid off Daniels and was reimbursed by Trump, pleaded guilty in 2018 to violating federal law by making an excessive campaign contribution. The theory underlying that charge was that Cohen "contributed" the hush money at Trump's behest for the "principal purpose of influencing [the] election," as opposed to avoiding personal embarrassment for Trump or sparing Melania Trump's feelings. As former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley Smith noted at the time, that interpretation was open to question. "The best interpretation of the law is that it simply is not a campaign expense to pay blackmail for things that happened years before one's candidacy—and thus nothing Cohen (or, in this case, Trump, too) did is a campaign finance crime," Smith wrote in a 2018 Reason essay. "But at a minimum, it is unclear whether paying blackmail to a mistress is 'for the purpose of influencing an election,' and so must be paid with campaign funds, or a 'personal use,' and so prohibited from being paid with campaign funds."[/quote] If you are going to go out of your way to charge Trump, then certainly Hilary needs to be arrrested for her emails. The head of the FBI basicallys aid what she did was a crime, he just didn't think it was one that warranted prosecution as she didn't do it intentionally.https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/07/hillary-clinton-email-scandal-2/https://reason.com/2023/03/10/transforming-stormy-daniels-hush-payment-into-a-felony-would-reinforce-trumps-witch-hunt-complaint/PS. I guess counter argument would be we need to hold our candidates to even higher standards? I guess that would be ok if we then applied that to everyone, not just the candidates we most dislike. So if you do Trump, you also need to do Hillary.

Nothing happening today.
NYT:
The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence about Trump’s hush-money payment to a porn star will not meet today after all, suggesting that any indictment would come tomorrow at the earliest.

Of course, as I already told you multiple times

Bill's $850,000 payout to Paula Jones went to the way side and he used your money while he was President. Oh wait, that's different, eh?

Trump is NOT getting arrested anymore than Hillary or Biden. You libs can't just live your life, you're obsessed and won't let go.

2024..time to clean house.

Trump is not going to be indicted. Too funny. You libs lost out again!

metaphor.

First of many charges against your boy, probably the weakest.

The optics alone are devastating as referenced in the association with his base on the Religious Right.

Even if he survives all this, he's a liability to say the least.

But hey, would you please tell us one more time how is it that "the libs lost again?"

Best I can tell from your regular Trump appreciation posts, he probably meant, “Trump’s balls will be hanging in your face and you’ll be smiling ear-to-ear.” (…and then write him another check)

Best guess.

The liberals backed down. They knew that Trump supporters would fight back. So they backed off their fake charges like the cowards they are.

The entire care hinges on Michael Cohen's word. Michael Cohen is a convicted liar. No non-politically motivated DA would try to prosecute this case in a million years. Particularly a DA who's known for reducing violent felonies to misdemeanors.

Trump ended Obama's fake War on Terror. Trump saved America from the liberal, subversive military complex.
