Topic	Anyways, is Trump finally finished?

Equally, his chance of being convicted are probably close to 0%. There's been rumblings that the GOP in the Senate might actually find their moral compass and vote to convict if it gets bad enough, but I'll believe hell freezing over first. So basically, it's the same thing everyone has predicted all along. I think the complete opposite. Actually... I know so. He will NOT be impeached. GOP is too corrupt to impeach him. BUT... the DA of NY is foaming at the mouth to get their hands on Trump. Where it stands now... the best case scenario for Trump is to get re-elected. If so, and the senate stays in GOP control, he would have effectively gotten away with his crimes due to the SOL. Any deviation to what I just described is a problem for Trump. Especially if he doesnt get re-elected. As of today, Giuliani has a significantly high chance of getting arrested. And MAYBE even Barr. I think it's BS that the 5 year statute of limitations I keep seeing would have its "clock" continue to "tick" while he's president of the U.S. and effectively impossible to try in court. This particular instance has never been tested in court (b/c...how crazy is it to have a criminal in the White House, using his job status to shield him from legal consequences?), but in similar situations where a criminal evaded detection/apprehension during the SOL phase, judges have ruled that time effectively "suspended" the "clock." I would hope the same would apply to Trump, though if it took till after his 2nd term to prosecute him, he wouldn't go to jail until like 90 years old, so it'd still be a hollow victory for the rule of law... <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:928047471] in Anyways, i...
