I’m guessing you’re a conservative Republican Christian?
if he walks on 91 potential convictions (and counting), we can move from fishing to clown show.
As lopng as the DAs are building solid cases and not committing political vengance....some of the claims in the indictments are generalized based on behavior which then makes it harder to prove an intent or meet the criminal threshold.
For example...the GA phone call.... trumps lawyers can argue anything about what he meant and why he said what he said and that is enough to create reasonable doubt to defeat the criminal charge.
That's being obtuse. But even if we accept your assessment of the phone call in isolation, when combined with the ongoing efforts from the very top to overturn the election results, you have a definable pattern with a very specific objective in mind.
Its not being obtuse it is being realistic about making a case in front of a grand jury or a regular jury to meet the criminal threshold....that is why I hope the DAs are making strong factual arguments with respect to the law and not creating a fact pattern of circumstantial evidence. Politics rarely gets criminalized.
trumps lawyers can fall back on explaining intent of words and free speech...has worked everytime to let politicians off the hook. "Oh I didnt mean that at all..." it sounds flimsy but could defeat criminal threshold of doubt.
remember when maxine waters told protestors ‘get more confrontational’ if no guilty verdict is reached in Derek Chauvin trial...
Imagine no guilty verdict and people stormed the streets and attacked the courts and injured police and court officials...
You think Maxine would be indicted for inciting violence? Of course not. I recall her telling people the next day she didnt mean violence so she got to explain away her comments and that was simple a media issue, not a criminal act.
trump is a fuckhat but the law doesnt put people in jail for being fuckhats with loose cannons for a mouth in politics. Looking at the law objectively is not being obtuse...it is being realistic.
I'm guessing that the DAs know what they're doing. It's a fairly safe bet. So I think they will make strong factual arguments that they will tie together with a pattern of other strong factual arguments.
Since I'm guessing neither one of us is a lawyer (I'm pretty sure I'm not), I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
