Rand Paul tweets NY DA ‘should be put in jail’

Its the middle ages mindset where it was considered treason to speak bad about the king (who was above the law)

 

Which I exercised.

 

Well, the court disagrees with you, otherwise they wouldn't even have seated a grand jury.

 

So what exactly does Cohen have to do with the case?

 

I'm not here to catch you up on what is going on.

He's not being prosecuted for campaign finance violations. You need to inform yourself.

 

They can't do squat. Congress has zero power when it comes to locally elected DAs. This is nothing but the bleating of Trump's steeple in the GOP, aimed at an audience of one.

This is how House Republicans plan to proceed while they hold the majority: nothing for we the people, as they have no platform other than to investigate, intimidate, and "go after" Trump's enemies, using our tax dollars to do so.

 

A GJ doesn't prove the validity of charges.

 

Wasn't he Trump's personal lawyer/fixer?

 

Look

 

It does recommend prosecution based on the existence of evidence.

 

Man, for claiming to refuse to waste your time, you sure seem to do that.

 

Probable cause is not proof.

 

Correct. You are correct, and also note I never claimed it was, so your statement seems to be a bit of a strawman.

 

IF you actually read your O/P source, you'd admit that Rand Paul has a point when he said, "A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power."

 

I would not admit that, because that would be a lie. Rand Paul has no point other than to, apparently successfully, rile up the little MAGABrownshirts.

 

You spoke of evidence presented to a GJ being indicative of a crime having been committed.

 

It's all in Cohen's plea deal about paying Stormy and Karen McDougal.

snip:

"COHEN caused and made the payments described herein in order to influence the 2016 presidential election. In so doing, he coordinated with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments. As a result of the payments solicited and made by COHEN, neither Woman-1 nor Woman-2 spoke to the press prior to the election."

I don’t understand how charges that don’t exist yet, can be found criminal or unconstitutional before you even know what they are.
Is it that any charges against trump can only be criminal and unconstitutional?

 

I think the point is that not enough is even known, pre-indictment, to even judge the merits of what is to be done, let alone the facts that are known to DA that are not publicly known... so Rand Paul is just being a crazy hack as usual.

 

That's a point worth considering. Never ending questions are not - especially when a person has access to a search engine by which they can use to further a discussion.

 

Rand Paul has no point other than to, apparently successfully, rile up the little MAGABrownshirts.

I suppose you would call esteemed legal expert, Jonathan Turley, a liar too?

Oh look, Tfm, Rand Paul agrees with Turley.

Rand Paul on Twitter: ".@JonathanTurley on the NY DA’s political prosecution of Trump: “Well, there's a host of legal principles designed to keep this from happening— that you're taking something that has a statute of limitations of two years and trying to bring it back to life seven years later.”" / Twitter

It's crystal clear that the above crap is being promoted by extremists from the anti-Trump brigade.

 

If Bragg does indict Trump the question Bragg will need to answer is why he waited until after Trump declared his candidacy for president. His decision could very well fall under election interference. This is what Rand believes it is and that is a crime. It’s ironic that Bragg might indict Trump for election interference.

 

If Trump is indicted, this sets a dangerous precedent for our country----prosecuting political opponents for gain.

 

The evidence is clear (video interviews where he admits his #1 priority is to get Trump) that this is a political hit job, designed to influence the election 2024. He may get an indictment, but what he really wants is that mug shot. That alone could have an influence on the election.

 

Yeah, a precedent that even MAGA folks are subject to the law.
