I don't believe for one second that he'll see the inside of a jail cell. I just want his empire in ruins and him to never hold office again. I want him to be a pariah.

If he is given a prison sentence, they'll likely send him somewhere like Leavenworth.

He's the one who told his family he brought a gun into the capitol and threatened to shoot his them if they turned him in. His son did it any way.

I'd be satisfied with rest of his life house arrest, and no internet allowed

They should let him stay on Truth Social but shadow ban him so he keeps posting but doesn't understand why no one is liking him >.>

That's messed up...

I like it!

I'm sure it makes me a bad/vengeful person to seek retribution as a form of justice against Trump.

On the other hand though, fascist white nationalists can suck my wide balls.

Hes absolutely going to fake an illness on or before Monday to try to postpone it.

That would be interesting if he can bring himself to try that. He's such a raging narcissist and constantly boasting about how perfect, strong and great that he is I can't see him faking an illness because it would make him look weak to be sick.

I could have sworn Trump was a germophobe and didn't like shaking hands with people.

It's a lie so he can avoid touching "the lessers".

Personally, I think once the dust has settled and he loses in November, that some time will pass and he'll have an "aneurysm" or a "heart attack".

He literally stole classified secrets from the United States government, and it is highly probable that he sold them to foreign entities too, namely Saudis and Russians, who were both at Fart-A-Lotgo while the documents were there.

If you think the US government is just going to let that slide, I have some oceanfront property in Kansas to sell you.

more stalling tactics really need to throw his ass in jail

Can't remember if it was here or where I saw/heard it, but someone saying "Innocent people don't want to stall trials." is so fucking perfect for how much of a criminal douche canoe this massive **** is.

He needs to go through the trial first. That way, precedent is set.

If Trump dies, all of the court cases against him are dropped.

Honestly, that's almost a worse punishment for him.

Jail time (in the eyes of the MAGAts) turns him into a martyr. But being broke, irrelevant, and his health just slowly withering away as he screams at his enemies on a dying social media platform? That's just pathetic lol.

Reminder that the FBI is a right wing organization. Remember what they did to MLK. And they gave zero fucks when Jan 6th was being planned in the open and MAGAs were making T-shirts in advance.

It's because it's currently under a Dem admin. Biden literally even left Trump's head of the FBI as head of the FBI, however because they're projectors who use the FBI and DOJ for their own personal pet projects and criminal activity, then surely it's the same for Dems.

https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/04/11/lt-gov-burt-jones-being-investigated-by-state-prosecutor/

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is being investigated by a state prosecutor for his role as a fake elector in an alleged attempt to overturn Georgias 2020 presidential election.
Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia, is leading the investigation, his office announced Thursday morning.

Jones was one of 16 Republicans who acted as alleged fake electors for former President Donald Trump in Georgia. But a judge disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from building a case against him, citing a conflict of interest because she had held a fundraiser for one of his opponents vying for the seat.

The case was turned over to the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia in 2022, and until Thursday morning, it had yet to assign a special prosecutor.

No. He has to go to jail. There have to be real and tangible consequences for his actions.

I wish so, too. But they'll never put a former president behind bars.

Not ever.

They very well might with this one. That's how bad he screwed up

I cant wait to see Trump complain about being in court for weeks, every day court is in session. Mandatory.

Can't wait to see him try and campaign from the Witness testimonial box.

The stupid part is he's undermined the perception of integrity in the entire federal and judicial offices with his flagrantly false rhetoric. He doesn't even have to spend any money to campaign anymore. Anything that Biden tries to do will not change any opinions about Donald Trump because they'll see him as a martyr being persecuted by a corrupt state. He's the Jesus of Absurdia.

Would this be a 3rd prison sentence for Allen Weisselberg? Or is someone else gonna be the fall guy?

So, the trial is every weekday except for Wednesdays. Haha. Trump has to be there on jury selection too. Too bad.

Since we can't read anything else in tweets here, I have to ask. Who is this person that you've linked to, is there any actual news confirming this, what are the charges, and is there any further context given?

Welp, prepare for daily motions for why Trump shouldn't have to be there. "Our client can't stay in peak golfing condition, unless we allow him to leave for his afternoon Tee time"

I believe he's one of those independent media types. He normally provides more context than this, and I can't find anything confirming it at the moment.

Kind of amusing that a case revolving around an affair with a porn star he tried to keep quiet won't be held on "hump day".

He refused to admit he had COVID until he literally had to be rushed to the hospital for experimental treatments to not die, lol. This dude isn't gonna call in sick for jury selection.

I half expect him to show up with a walker to try and milk sympathy.

I'm aware of the hypocrisy that would show but if Trump didn't have double standards he wouldn't have any standards.

So that's a conflict of interest, but being the judge for the case of a guy who made you a judge isn't?

If Democratic judges must recuse themselves from cases involving Republicans because they'll allegedly be biased against them, then logically speaking, the inverse must also be true. Republican judges must recuse themselves because they're be biased for the defendant.

And, again, logically the opposite is must be true too. Democratic judges can't oversee cases involving Democrats because they'll favor them and Republican judges can't because they'll be out to get them.

So, by their reasoning, a Republican or Democratic politician may only be tried by a registered Independent judge. That's how asinine their reasoning is.
