If Trump goes to trial, what do you think will happen if the judge is a left judge? Also, in a jury trial, they could be left as well. Fair trial?

[sage2021]

Since the elections are less than 90 days from now, what will happen if Trump gets a fast and speedy trial - and he's in court during that time and is unable to announce his run for the 2024 President because he's tangled up in a court case?

[Avicenna]

Everyone, regardless of political persuasion, should be aghast at the corruption and criminality displayed by the federal government in how it has persecuted Trump. This is not how you settle or express policy differences.

A defendant is innocent until proven guilty, so he would not legally be prevented from declaring his candidacy.

[Surely]

I think that a left handed judge will be the only one that would be allowed to preside over any trials of Trump! As long as these kangaroo court politicians are in the majority.

Even Judge Judy would be better. She wouldn’t be putting up with the hearsay evidence that these up and coming reality show actors are saying!

[OlderAndWiser]

Even if he is in trial, Trump could announce his intentions to try to make the trial look even more like a Banana Republic proceeding.

[exitseven]

Their end game is to convict Trump of a felony which will make him ineligible to run for office. They did not find anything in his house and it turns out that before Trump left office he declassified everything that he took to Florida. He wants the public to see everything so it makes Biden and his handlers look like fools.

[sage2021]

@exitseven I hear what you're saying, but my mistrust of people leaves me uneasy about this whole thing. I say this because when President Trump moved out of the White House, he didn't personally pack the boxes that went to Mar-a-Lago with him. Who knows if people didn't plant incriminating evidence in those boxes? How do we know the FBI didn't set him up with planting papers when they raided his home? After all, the FBI cannot be trusted and that's a fact! I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I mean, if the left pulled off unlawfully stealing the Presidential election, what more can they pull off? They are snake's in the grass 🐍

[IAteTwoFullHams]

Well, two things:

1. We won't get a trial within ninety days. The justice system simply doesn't move that fast.

2. Being in court, or even being in prison, would not interfere with Trump's ability to declare his candidacy for President.

[888theGreat]

I think they will falsify evidence , get a liberal judge biased against Trump and a all Black Jury and probably convict him of something and Supreme Court will throw it out.

The judge that allowed search of home hated Trump and has said he disliked Trump before he became a judge

[Sixgunsound]

The justice’s politics don’t matter. Presidents have immunity from prosecution for acts in office. This whole farce of a shit show is just a distraction to waste the time of the gullible.

[DCooper]

There's no such thing as a fair trial in DC.

[sage2021]

@DCooper if I am correct, the truck Al has to in the county where the crime was committed. So, would that be Washington DC or Mar-a-Lago?

[sage2021]

@DCooper
Correction** truck AI was supposed read "trial"
Stupid smart phone 🥴

[Anonymous]

Maybe he should stop breaking the law? Then he wouldn’t have to worry about trials and prison. Just saying.

[sage2021]

Anonymous No, sorry, that's not the answer.

[Opinion Owner]

Sure it is. Criminals always cry they’re being persecuted rather than accept responsibility. If there was nothing illegal found at his residence, he’d have nothing to worry about. It really is that simple.

[Avicenna]

So you have no problem with the FBI raiding your residence, since you have nothing to hide, right?

[Opinion Owner]

No one wants to be inconvenienced but I have nothing to hide. If they show up with a search warrant, I’ll not only let them in, I’ll serve coffee and cake while they look. I have nothing to worry about. Trump on the other hand……

[Avicenna]

So you have no problem with law enforcement going on a fishing expedition in your residence? Are you aware what the requirements are for a federal search warrant?

You couldn't possibly know whether Trump is actually guilty of anything. And it's not like federal law enforcement never lies or breaks laws, you know.

[Opinion Owner]

This wasn’t a fishing expedition though now was it? He obviously had classified and top secret documents in his possession pursuant to the probable cause established for the search warrant. The warrant was valid. In fact, the FBI tried for months to negotiate the return of these documents out of courtesy to an ex-president. It was only when they got no cooperation that they obtained a search warrant. Trump forced their hand. He shouldn’t be in possession of any of these documents. They belong to the people by federal law and not the president. They belong in the National Archives. His only saving grace here might be if he can show he declassified the sensitive materiel before leaving office. Since there’s a formal process for doing that, it should be easy to determine. Rather than crying about it because you like him, maybe keep an open mind. In the end, this could end up like the Hillary Clinton investigation where they cannot determine criminal intent. Regardless of the criminal outcome, classified and top secret information cannot remain unsecured in cardboard boxes at a golf resort no more than they could on a private server.

[Avicenna]

You are in absolutely no position to tell someone to keep an open mind, especially since you clearly don't have one yourself.

The warrant covered ALL documents from Trump's entire time in office. That is obviously an overly broad fishing expedition, which isn't legal. And what was the probable cause and reason for the warrant request?

You incorrectly stated that "the FBI was negotiating with Trump for months" over the documents and that Trump was not cooperating. That is not correct. The National Archives had been in communication with Trump, who had been cooperative. In fact, the site had been visited in June by DOJ employees who had looked around the room the documents were stored in, looked in the boxes themselves, and took some documents with them.

Why do you assume the documents were unsecured? Are you sure they were?

You admit that the documents may have been declassified after claiming he "obviously had classified documents", which is totally contradictory. Are you claiming that no former President is allowed to keep any declassified/unclassified documents, e. g., for their presidential library?

The Constitution guarantees rights regardless of whether someone is liked or not, and everyone should support ensuring these rights are not violated. You may call that "crying", but the violations of people's rights by the government is no laughing matter and occurs much too frequently.

So tell me, what would be the probable cause for searching your residence, since you have made it clear you wouldn't mind it being searched by the FBI?

[Agagagagaga]

@Avicenna Dude don’t bother. You’re talking with one of those “Trump bad” people. She probably also thinks Jussie Smollet is a victim and that Rittenhouse killed black people.

[Slingblade1126]

Before the FBI invades your home, they must PROVE to a judge that ALL other legal avenues have been exausted or there is an immediate likelihood evidence will be destroyed. We know ALL legal avenues weren't even close to being exhausted. As far as an immediate danger of evidence being destroyed? We now know the warrant was signed an the fifth but wasn't executed until the eighth. I actually worked FBI, we do work weekends! I have no problem with Trump being investigated but what occurred Monday, crossed a line.

[Opinion Owner]

@Slingblade1126 Ok I’ll bite. When he failed to turn over all the documents in June with a subpoena and the DOJ was being stonewalled by his attorneys afterwards, what was their next step other than a search warrant? Ask nicely?

[Avicenna]

DOJ employees visited the site in June and took documents with them. That meant there was full cooperation.

Where is the evidence that Trump's attorneys "stonewalled" anyone?

[Slingblade1126]

Jesus Christ! On June 3, investigators were given ALL subpoenaed documents. No other documents in Trump's possession were under subpoena at that time.

[Opinion Owner]

@Avicenna Oh I don’t know. The fact that Trump’s attorney’s sent a letter to the DOJ saying that all classified documents had been turned over, yet a search warrant proved that was a lie? Does that imply cooperation to you?

[sage2021]

@Opinion Owner you are a nobody, that's why you're saying all of this. Since you're a nobody there's no need to raid your house. You are No President Trump that's for sure. Just someone on a website that no one cares about.

[sage2021]

@Avicenna this person is just trying to get you rattled. Don't pay any attention to her? - she's getting off on getting you Rattled. Watch out for this type in the future and skip over them. Don't acknowledge them and all. Idiots!

[Avicenna]

Opinion Owner, you have already acknowledged that it's possible that the documents taken from Mar a Lago had actually been declassified. Since that is the case, why do you falsely claim that the "search warrant proved that's a lie"? Are you saying you're a liar?

To show you why you shouldn't just parrot the government 's claims, Trump issued a memo on Jan. 19, 2021 that declassified all documents related to the illegal FBI spying on his 2016 campaign. Were these documents the ones that the FBI was actually after?

[StevieNix]

You're dealing with an anon coward.

[Avicenna]

@StevieNix: Of course. And since the FBI is an arm of the Democratic Party, it’s much more likely they were looking for documents to help the Jan. 6 Kangaroo Committee and the other Democrat criminals targeting Trump. Trump has also sued Hillary over her Russia Hoax, which the FBI was involved in, so it’s very likely they were looking for documents related to that as well.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sounds to me like he already announced it a couple weeks ago. He said he can't wait to get back in charge of the country.

[mr4435669]

Donald Trump must be found innocent, even if he is actually guilty, because he is the only one who can kill progressivism.

[RealMarek]

If it’s a DC jury he’ll get a show trial. The Supreme Court might have to intervene.

[driven159]

He will stall going to trial he will be dead by the time it will go to trial he doesn't look well at all without his makeup

[Fuentes]

He can he's innocent they have to prove him guilty his lawyers do the work & he can still announce anything.

[007kingifrit]

there would be a civil war
