US Politics: Bike tricks

[GrootVoet]

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.

If I where Nancy I would keep quite, inside trading is also a felony.

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

It will likely be unsealed very soon, perhaps today or early next week. Anyhow the legal case looks seriously weak...remember both federal prosecutors and the finance campaign watchdog declined to prosecute.

It’s not unusual. Probably to be unsealed when in custody/time of arrest.

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.

Both sides participate in jury selection from the random pool of jurors selected for duty.

He should have pardoned himself except now someone has grabbed him by his yeti pubes.

Nope.

I know that, the problem is that Trump can raise a very good defence that NYC is a hostile jury pool.

.
Trump has great respect for this grand jury though.

Who doesn't with balanced people like this on it..

Non of the Republicans are serious enough to prosecute her.

 

[quovadis]

Nope.

Time will tell

Good luck with that

Still trying to find something to charge him with

Thats Georgia not NY.

 

[Kieppie]

Thats Georgia not NY.

Yeah and?
Just imagine what they have in the NY one.

Curious how far a partisan jury can tip the scales in cases where the preponderance of evidence show innocence, never mind reasonable doubt.
We have Stormy with her written signed testimony that the alleged affair never happened, then she claimed her signature was forged, then her lawyer said no it's true, then eventually said she felt forced to lie due to the money. Extremely trustworthy woman this.
Then we have Cohen who in an unsealed letter specifically state that it wasn't Trump that paid any money.
There is a reason lawyers say this case is extremely weak...

Add to this whole shebang the statute of limitations and you get a right mess.
Watching this unfold will be very entertaining

My only gripe, beside wasting time & money, is that this will distract the sheeple from actual news events.

 

[quovadis]

Yeah and?

They’re different states and very different demographics.

 

[Kieppie]

They’re different states and very different demographics.

Yes and? So you're saying the NY grand jury will be more or less hostile?

 

[quovadis]

I’m saying they’re different to your inference.

 

[Kieppie]

I’m saying they’re different to your inference.

Yes they are obviously difference to the actual people on the GA one, NY may be even worse.
It goes back to your original comment about "having respect for the Grand Jury".
It seems Trump was premature in his statement praising them.
