Jury HAS reached a verdict. 11 hours, 43 minutes.
Developing.
Analysis is saying the jury using the word “verdict” indicates this is not a hung jury.
Jury has asked for more time to fill out paperwork, which makes sense, 34 counts x 12 jurors, 408 line items?
Judge has now called for the jury.
Detail on each count here, 3 basic categories:
https://www.npr.org/2024/05/30/g-s1-1848/trump-hush-money-trial-34-counts

Sentencing
Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. He was found liable in that case for $83.3 million.
There had been multiple cases in multiple states to remove Trump from the ballot, citing ineligibility under the 14th amendment.
The Supreme Court ruled on March 4th that states do not have the ability to determine eligibility in Federal elections.
Man… As the verdicts rolled in, I could genuinely feel my stress fading. This fucker has finally, finally been forced to experience a negative repercussion for his actions, and I can’t wait to see him experience more.
No he hasn’t.
He wasn’t even remanded to custody.
He hasn’t been sentenced.
If the sentences are punitive monetary fines, then his “consequences” are nothing more than he’s ever had to deal with. He’ll just keep doing what he’s always been doing and raid the Republican money chest to pay his expenses.
He will never see a real punishment so let’s hope for practical benefits like losing votes from low-information idiots and draining Repub coffers.
July is gonna be interesting when all you doubters walk back your claims. The judge is hyper aware of the contempt x10, the fact Cohen did time in prison for the other side of this thing, the attacks on the judge’s daughter and family, staff, intimidation of jurors and witnesses…
Don’t take it from me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0fYRCjdMsE&t=146s
July is gonna be interesting when all you doubters walk back your claims.
Do you not recognize how eager we all are for that to be true? Please, show up in July and blow a raspberry at me because I was wrong to believe Trump will die of old age, having never seen the inside of a jail cell, living a 1% lifestyle. I would love nothing more.
It has now been brought to my attention that you can take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles song and instead sing:
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felonTrump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felon
Trump is a convicted felon
Put him in a jail cell
Justice Power!
I’m currently watching the Trump presser the day after, and he’s straight up violating his gag order, spending awhile talking about Cohen, basically saying “I can’t talk about him, but his name rhymes with Mohen, they call him a fixer, and …” The whole thing is nuts but just thought that was a bit special.
I think once the trial is completed, the gag order isn’t in play.
The whole point of the gag order was to keep him from intimidating witnesses and jurors, well all that is done now.
I’m sure the judge will take it into consideration for sentencing though!
The trial isn’t over though; He still needs to be sentenced. He has been found guilty, yes. But the courts haven’t actually decided on an acceptable punishment. That’s what will happen on the 11th.
Yep, and I’m sure blatantly violating the gag order (assuming it works like for a normal person) will lead to harsher sentencing. In that case, I hope he violates it further.
A trial is incomplete until sentencing I thought? I’ve seen no paperwork dismissing the gag. But idk.
New York does not fuck around.
E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump - GUILTY
The People of the State of New York and Attorney General Letitia James v. Donald J. Trump - GUILTY
The People of the State of New York and District Attorney Alvin Bragg v. Donald J. Trump - GUILTY
Three up, three down.
Now get the fuck outta here.
So, it’s Biden’s fault, it’s the DA’s fault, it’s the corrupt judge’s fault. Everyone but you Donny.
Classic malignant narcissist.
To be clear: “no bail” means “Donald Trump is allowed to remain at liberty without bail” and not “He must stay in jail until sentencing”
Yep. But eh, he’s not a flight risk, and he’s not accused of a violent crime.
…That said, he could be remanded to jail instantly if anything changes.
I’d generally say that somebody who has a private jet, overseas bank accounts, and who pals around with foreign dictators is a flight risk, but that’s me.
Honestly, I’d settle for him fucking off and disappearing if it means we never have to hear about him ever again.
Unfortunately, we’ve still got to make sure he loses the election to make that happen.
The dude has 24/7 secret service protection. They aren’t going to not know where he is.
He’s got a sympathetic security detail. I have reason to believe that they won’t just let him go if that’s what he wants to do.
This is a psychic blumpkin. I am metaphysically shitting and orgasming at the same time. I feel so cleansed.
I know a lot of us are cynical and don’t have high expectations for sentencing, but…
Right now, Trump’s feeling pretty shitty. He has no idea how the sentencing will go. No guarantees he won’t be forced to suffer. This is consume him for weeks at the least.
When he goes to sleep tonight, all he’ll be thinking about is ‘I could go to prison’.
You see, I don’t think people like him ever feel shitty. He feels as a victim, a martyr of sorts, people like this can and will twist anything in their heads so that it proves their grandeur, their importance.
This guy goes to sleep every night thinking how great he is, and how the world is just jealous and that’s why some stupid judge was out to get him.
My dad is a pathological narcissist and behaves exactly like that.
… good?
I would bet $1000 that nothing meaningful happens to that slick old bastard.
There are two justice systems in this country, and Trump is in the one that’s so rich that he doesn’t face the same kind of meaningful consequences that we do.
I wouldn’t take that bet but we have to acknowledge that this is progress. If you’d told me a year ago trump would be convicted on 34 felonies before June I’d have laughed at you.
The arc of history is long but it does bend towards justice. We are witnessing that bend now after decades of frustration. Enjoy this win at least a little bit.
So was Martha Stewart. 5 months in prison, 2 years probation.
It was very frustrating that just like what happened with “fake news” which was originally used to describe false news articles generated usually to help Trump, the same thing happened with the concept of a two-tier justice system. Originally describing how wealthy people like Trump don’t get the same justice that poor people do, now Republicans are trying to use it to describe Republicans getting charged for things Democrats wouldn’t be.
Now will CNN introduce him as 45th president of the United States and convicted felon Donald j trump? Can we get a GoFundMe to make it happen?
Pardon my ignorance, but I’ve seen that “title” all over -is it common to call convicted felons as such, as a title of sorts, before their name ?
It is when they are an individual of notoriety of any kind being discussed in the media… it is just another adjective to add to their list of accolades.
Ok thanks
Just saying i hope they grant him he same level of class and decorum he’s afforded others before him.
Donald J Trump, 45th President of the United States, convicted felon, khaleesi of the great grass sea, first of his name.
Appeal ad infinitum incoming. This stain wouldn’t see any repercussions until after the election, and only if he loses. I hope I’m proven wrong. Still waiting on the 400+80m to hit his pocket.
Come on “federal ‘pound me in the ass’ prison!”
Let justice be served!
State charges.
What’s the over-under on him fleeing to Russia or Saudi Arabia and living out his days in exile?
The Republicans lining up to cry false tears and lick convicted felon Trump’s felonious taint are even more disgusting than usual.
Anyone else a little bit surprised that justice just happened, even if on a relatively minor scale compared to all the things he has done?
yea totally. It’s a good feeling
