P.s. As I said on Monday, he's NOT getting arrested, period. Some of you Liberals really love the yellow colored kool-aid! :):):):)
Brilliant. So the only person saying that he was going to be arrested is the conman himself, Republicans are the most upset about it and yet it's the Libs in your eyes.
As soon as he takes office again, he can immediately pardon himself of whatever.
You're just incapable of understanding American federalism.
No, that's on the state trying to enforce Federal election law.
Do you know how it actually works? No? Well I'll tell you. Violations go before a high committee of half Democrats and half Republicans. Only a majority can find someone guilty of a violation.
What would happen with NY is the higher courts would throw it out, like are you the FEC, nope

He's being investigated for violation of state laws in NY and GA. Both of those investigations go being campaign finance. Also, the FEC handles civil, and not criminal, violations of election laws.
You really are the most consistently misinformed poster on here.
Much like the difficulty in taking down the mob, the reason that Trump is walking free today is because nobody around him talks. We all see the criming taking place but the threshold to gain conviction in a court of law is so high that you need witnesses. Think about how many times Trump has attempted to exert executive privilege and Attorney Client Privilege. His goal is consistent. Delay, obstruct, delay, run out the clock, appeal, delay. (and run for office so you can claim everything is political).
So the fact that Trump's own lawyer in the stolen documents case must turn over his communication motes and testify about his conversations with Trump is a breakthrough. And the only way that was done is if it was proven that their conversation involved planning and committing crimes. And the speed at which the judge wanted action and any appeals was unprecedented. Indicated there might be a serious national security thread involving this case. Evidently Trump lied to him (big surprise right?) and that gave him legal liability and now he is perfectly willing to sing like a songbird instead of going down for Trump.
Does the lawyer know that there are still classified documents in the wild? Did Trump give them to other 3rd parties? This is really bad for the Orange traitor. The porn star payoff is the least of his troubles. Almost a side show for the media compared to the seriousness of what Jack Smith is investigating.
Think about what it takes to be a member of and believer of the modern day GOP. One of the M*AGA leaders of the party is calling for the DOJ to arrest and jail a Manhattan Prosecutor for daring to hold Trump accountable for breaking laws. This is happening simultaneously while another M*AGA leader chairs a Congressional committee investigating the wrongfulness of weaponization of the government. Meanwhile the leaders of the GOP that stood on stages across the country and demanded "lock her up" against a political candidate are on Fox News fully triggered and crying about the wrongfulness of Trump being indicted because he is a candidate in an election 1.5 years away.

Frustrated, non-lawyer reply to your first sentence:
1) But mob bosses DO sometimes (oftentimes?) get convicted. Trump, still nothing.
2) I presume that when mob bosses ARE stupid enough to say clearly incriminating things on taped phone calls, they stand a good chance of paying a price. But Donny said, "Find me 11K votes" roughly 2 years ago on a taped phone call, and GA is still thinking about it. Infuriating.
And again, the rest of the world - who have been hearing us preach about "The Rule of Law" forever - are rightly laughing at us.

The potential state charges would be state tax violations following from federal election law.
I have to give Kudos to those that said this pending arrest this week was BS. The DA confirmed in his letter that his arrest was a false Narrative put forth by Trump. I guess I forgot how immorally insidious Trump and his BS peddlers are in trying to spin narratives and get ahead of whatever is coming with methods like this.
We live in a surreal time to think a former President of the US would lead a team of sychopants and Psyops guys like Bannon, Flynn, Stone, Habberman and and unnamed others out gaslighting the country in a manner that would make Putin blush.

The GA case and the document case are much bigger issues for Trump from a legal liability and a possible charge sticking through to conviction and he knows this.
Thus he wants a parade in handcuffs so he can play the victim in this case and claim the same...which his nut case followers will eat up...with the other cases for which he has much more legal jeopardy.
It's the same bullspit he's been pulling since he learned from his father who pulled some of the same stuff way back when although not to the PR level Donald has been able to.

yeah trump wants to be indicted in NY and he wants riots - if the NY case is as weak as it seems, and if his people smash things up and fight the cops as usual after indictment then GA and the Feds might think twice about indicting him for more serious crimes.
the country needs to stop tap dancing around what exactly Trump is trying to do here. Today, he is calling a Black man investigation him an "animal". Implying that request for Peace are unreasonable. Claiming the country if "ruined" if something isn't done. Claiming absurdity that Police in NY (that love him) would dare take action against him. (do their job)
He is stoking violence in the same subtle manner of every other crackpot dictator before him. He is a stain on this country.

But hey, don't despair! SLIGHTLY over half of America can see this....I think !!

The crackpot dictators were the ones persecuting their rivals on bogus charges for power.
The case is garbage and everyone knows it but the TDS crowd that doesn't care about anything but getting the scary orange man.
Alvin Bragg himself has a more criminal association with campaign finance than Trump does.

Impressive, no ??
we need the GOP to stand up and say 'DJT is not an acceptable candidate," The parties used to have courage to do that. McConnell and Romney are trying. But the morans want Trump so we'll all get Trump at least as the GOP nominee. Gonna suck.

You nominated Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
Let's not pretend the Democrats aren't nominating trash candidates too.
