"The brief due Thursday (9/26) – which is expected to exceed 200 pages, including exhibits, and is meant to convince courts Trump should be prosecuted for alleged obstruction and conspiracy criminal activity — is a rare avenue for evidence to be aired in court before a trial.
Chutkan of the DC District Court, in a six-page opinion, said she would allow such an outsized briefing because the Supreme Court, in its recent decision to give Trump’s actions while president immunity from prosecution, has directed her as the trial judge to look closely at facts in the case to decide if some allegations could move forward to trial."
If you follow court cases, this kind of time is normal. The other actions are not nothingburgers, not at all.
Take the Sarah Palin email hack. Happened in Sept 2008, they zero in on him almost immediately, and he’s charged in Oct. The trial doesn’t even happen until April 2010, and then sentenced that November. That was a relatively straightforward case against a nobody.
Or Kevin Mitnick, who was arrested for computer hacking in Feb 1995, charged in 1998, and pleads guilty in 1999.
If Trump doesn’t win the election, he’s fucked. Only death will keep him out of jail. If he wins, it’s still quite possible Merchan sentences him to jail (on state charges that quite clearly have nothing where he can claim immunity), and then things will be a little too interesting. What happens when a state sentences someone who is the President-elect? I’m a curious person by nature, but lets leave that question unanswered if we can avoid it.
He’ll just leave the country.
I wonder where he would go?
Russia or Saudi Arabia. My guess would be Russia since that’s the best place to get Russian prostitutes to pee on you. Although I’m sure Saudi Arabia can provide that, too.
Fun little-known fact: Saudi Arabia provided political asylum for the rest of his miserable, syphilitic life to fucking Idi Amin after he was ousted from Uganda.
Donald will choose whichever location has the sex workers most resembling Ivanka.
Eh, I’ll accept that outcome if it means he never comes back.
Wouldn’t that leave J.D. as the president? Not a better outcome. Maybe even slightly worse.
JD would last two weeks before a staffer found him sobbing under his desk.
