    From what I've seen, it would not surprise me (in the least) if most (maybe even all) of the charges against Trump are dropped.
    There are some very tricky legal issues involving jurisdiction (and interpretation of a murky phrase in the NY Criminal Code).

    Trump's legal team has a lot to work with...

    I can hide in plain sight and some will insist I'm not there in front of them. :)

    Try following the thread. I hope that isn't too much to ask for.

    Proof and evidence are two different things. It is evidence, but not proof.

    When did he campaign on doing so? We've been asking for pages now and page after page after page you guys flail and drown trying to find even one link.

    When? I look forward to the next failed attempt to provide any evidence of any kind.

    If you don't know the facts of the case, then what is your point in criticising those that can figure it out from what is known?

    We know about the sealed indictment because the indictment was issued but we don't know what it charges, the very definition of a sealed indictment.




    The only thing I can infer from that is that you think the documents found at Mar-a-Lago don't really exist or were planted. That is not even worthy of a repsonse.



    Exculpatory evidence: is evidence, such as a statement, tending to excuse, justify, or absolve the alleged fault or guilt of a defendant.

    Showing the defendant walking around in no way "excuses, justifies or absolves" them of the crime for which they were convicted.

    That would be like claiming that a video of Ted Bundy playing with puppies of the victim after killing her would be exculpatory evidence in his murder trial.

    I looked and couldn't find the contents of the indictment.
    Can you provide a link for what you are claiming?

    and that is why, ultimately, this questionable (at best) case will just undermine the rest of the investigations

    Is CNN good enough?

    New Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg pledges to focus on Trump investigations


    New YorkCNN —
    The next Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg Jr., says he plans to personally focus on the high-profile probe into former President Donald Trump’s business practices and may expand the investigative team while keeping at least one senior prosecutor on the case.

    Claiming "you can figure it out" is a FAR cry from actually knowing what it is about.

    Let me clue you in. A LOT of people on this board keep saying they've figured something out and then turn out to be completely wrong.

    I have looked. I've found absolutely nothing to suggest that Alvin Bragg campaigned on prosecuting the Orange Dingleberry. It's bullshit.

    Yes, during an interview he said that he would continue taking on one of the cases that he inherited. We've already covered that a half dozen times now. No, that's not the same thing as "campaigning on taking down Trump." Hell, he slowed down that same investigation. Think.

    All they can do is claim to have a seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecret link that they don't want to share with us that "proves" it.

    That was AFTER he was elected, and he made no promises. So, wrong again.

    Rich privilege. It effects most million and billionaires. Having said that, these silly charges against Trump are over things most rich politicians have done and are still doing. Such irony.

    Well, a lot of DAs operate on that standard. Shouldn't you be criticizing them?
