US Politics: Bike tricks

It's all politically motivated. The Democrats know they have to do something before the next elections.

If it were politically motivated it's the dumbest option. Georgia is the one with real meat.

What's that catchy slogan they loved chanting?

That's a bit dramatic. He just needs to appear in court where he will be found innocent.

Guess it is reason enough for libtards to celebrate.

If he takes the 5th it won't be in his favour. If he doesn't he'll probably perjure himself. Will be interesting to see. If it's televised on the up side he'll have great ratings. The best. Ever.

Trump indicted, first US president to face criminal charges

New York grand jury on Thursday indicted Donald Trump over hush money payments made to a porn star during his 2016 campaign, making him the first former US president to face criminal charges.

The historic indictment of the 76-year-old Republican -- who denies all wrongdoing in connection with the payments made ahead of the election that sent him to the White House -- is certain to upend the current presidential race in which Trump hopes to regain office.

And it will forever mark the legacy of the former leader, who survived two impeachments and kept prosecutors at bay over everything from the US Capitol riot to missing classified files -- only to land in court over a sex scandal involving Stormy Daniels, a 44-year-old adult movie actress.

Trump's lawyer Susan Necheles told AFP she expects he will be arraigned on Tuesday next week.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office confirmed that it had contacted Trump's lawyers Thursday evening to "coordinate his surrender" in New York -- with the felony charges against him to be revealed at that

"Political persecution and election interference", is how Trump scoffed at the indictment.

The purpose of a trial is to prove guilt, not innocence. Or are we going to have a lengthy debate on how the presumption of innocence doesn’t apply to Trump.

Trump has great respect for this grand jury though.

Grand Juries are rubber stamps famalam.

They only hear the state’s version of the case.

Yes, that's why there's a trial after. Not sure why people don't get that it's an additional hurdle when comapred to other country's systems which don't require that step at all. Trump was given the opportunity to testify in front of the very same jury and declined.

Nope, indicted/charged - not found guilty. Sheesh.

Testifying at a grand jury is literally retarded for anyone because it is one sided.

She's a real idiot isn't she? How can she get something that is fundamental to the rule of law so wrong? An indictment does not prove guilt one way or another.

Nancy Pelosi said that the purpose of a trial is for Trump to prove his innocence.

Is this how you think the Us justice system is meant to work.

Because this is not about the law.

Hahahaha whoosh. Read the tweet I was responding to.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office confirmed the indictment on Thursday and said it was coordinating with Trump's attorneys for his surrender. Details of the charge or charges remain under seal, but the grand jury has been conducting an investigation related to a payment that Trump's lawyer made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

Why are the details of the charges under seal? Surely the case is absolutely rock solid and withstand public scrutiny?

 

[konfab]

All that being said, how are they going to do jury selection for a US president?

It would be entirely reasonable for the jury to find him guilty because they don’t want him to be president. Not because of the facts or the law. And the same goes for the opposite, if the jury wanted him to be president, they wouldn’t give a toss about the facts or the law.

Testifying at a grand jury is literally retarded for anyone because it is one sided.

And yet the opportunity to present exculpatory evidence was not taken.
