Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
Quote:
Former US President Donald Trump has said he expects to be arrested on federal charges in relation to the deadly Capitol riot which took place on January 6, 2021, when his supporters tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump said he received a letter from the US Justice Department telling him that he is the target of the long-running criminal investigation. Yesterday, Tuesday, July 17, he wrote on social media that Special Counsel Jack Smith - the prosecutor leading the federal investigation - had informed him on Sunday, July 16.

Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
Very sad that it came to this, but relieved to see justice progress here.

Donald Trump indicted over attempt to overturn 2020 election
Trump was charged with four criminal counts including conspiracy to defraud the US, to obstruct an official proceeding and to threaten individual rights, according to an indictment filed in federal court in Washington DC on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice’s indictment stems from a probe led by special counsel Jack Smith into alleged meddling in the results of the 2020 election and attempts to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. The probe has focused on the actions of Trump, as well as his allies and supporters, in the lead up to the January 6 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

If it was (just about) anyone else you'd think they were a bust flush however Trump has a knack of turning any circumstances to his advantage. America is in a bigger mess than us and that's saying something.

Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
I hear you but the yanks need to send a message to any future presidents that criminal despots cannot get away with blatant crime even at the highest level. Plus it will make any future patronising down-talk they have about other leaders abusing their position very hard to take seriously if he gets away with it or isn’t punished appropriately.

Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
I think it's odd how quickly people just got over the fact that in the most powerful and famous democracy in the world, we had the loser refusing to accept it and their supporters storming government buildings. Scenes we would associate with failing democracies in much smaller nations.

I also still find it incredible that Trump still enjoys such strong support. What he did was not far off on a coup but there he is travelling round the world and still polling high.

If the politicised US courts are anything to go by , that's unlikely.
If you're rich and powerful enough you can escape justice there. If you're poor and black though, they'll execute you, little evidence required.

Vast swathes of the population there are "religiously" entrenched in their approval of him. Trumps famous old comment about shooting someone and still being popular is probably spot on.

Innocent until proven guilty. So you support a Putin style lock up of your opponents, because he’s high up in the polls. Why didn’t they (Pathetic Biden Administration) indict him two years ago at the time?
Trump didn’t storm the Capitol building and he’s on video at the time telling everyone to go home & respect law & order.
The Biden Administration is the most corrupt ever, & most useless, homelessness up tenfold, migrants sleeping on street corners, some absolute shit holes, mostly in Democrat run States. But Trump man bad & derangement syndrome strikes again.

Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
No Mick I support the locking up of criminals.
If Biden can be proven to have committed a crime then yes he needs locking up too.
But I’m pretty certain that won’t happen. For all his faults he’s not the career criminal Trump is.

I am guessing they’re going to focus on the rally he had before hand, if he ceded the warnings, the phone calls to governors in places like Georgia and if he delayed deploying the national guard.

Oh yeah if Biden has committed crimes then he needs to be investigated as well. Presidents are not above the law and that includes Trump.

Re: Trump Organization Found Guilty Of Tax Fraud At Trial
If he if found guilty and gets prison time he'll be pardoned by the next president anyway. If that happens then not sure how that'll go down.
