I think the Trump Derangement Syndrome that pervades this thread requires being ignorant of the fact that this is actually the weakest case against Trump for him to be indicted on. Which may only ultimately strengthen his later defenses of being the victim of a political witch-hunt. The DA would need to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the sole reason Trump allegedly paid "hush" money to Stormy Daniels was on the basis of protecting his 2016 presidential campaign. That would require throwing out all considerations of protecting his celebrity status, business image, family, etc. That is the only way possible to categorize said hush money specifically as an illegal campaign contribution. Without that, there is no case. Which is exactly what the Justice Department failed to prove against Democratic Presidential Candidate John Edwards in 2012, as cited in the below article. It doesn't require any "hypocrisy", "virtue signaling", "mental gymnastics", "brainwashing", or "conspiracy" theories to see these are not air-"tight charges". |
Is this like the whole "Lock her up" where people who support Trump use such terms like "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to blindly not read any particular post or even understand the context of what is being discussed.
So I will just address my statement which has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the GOP party in general. It doesn't matter if it Trump, Regan or some fictional character in the future, as a party, its not in the party best interest to allow a GOP president to go to jail for whatever reason, unless that person can be made a maryter.
You do know there are 3 cases against Trump, the one you listed is probably the least of them since its about using campaign money that he did not report to pay someone to keep their mouth shut. If anything it, would be some fine so no one is looking at that case as something that would put him in jail. Its like the whole federal documents case, it was Trump who pretty much put himself in this legal pradicament and it appears people like you are more willing to ignore his own stupidiy and gloss over it then accept that he is in the situation he is in from bad decisions. Now whether there is enough evidence to put in him jail is a totally different subject which we are not close to discussing because we don't know enough yet.
Even your whole speculation post doesn't mean jack until we actually see charges
