    I’ll breathe a sigh of relief once he’s in jail. Before then, he’s a criminal walking around with no justice. How many times is he going to get away with the law?

      Exactly seen this basic title for Trump for years. Why “incert crime here” will doom Trump yet nothing happens to him.

      Plus it’s Georgia. What are the chances there isn’t one Fox-addict on the jury?

        I mean, the jury selection selection process is supposed to weed out anyone who is obviously biased in any direction.

        Also—and I realize this undermines my first point—Fulton County is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the country.

          I hope this doesn’t make me regret opposing Milton County.

      Oh how I’d love to see him in jail, but I just can’t see this happening to a former US president. I’d imagine house arrest at a maximum, unfortunately.

        It’s a bit nuts how untouchable we have made this position be. I read that even George Washington noticed it out and tried to reign it in. Maybe if there was a way to get rid of presidents based on no confidence or something it wouldn’t have morphed into what it is now.

    Question - I saw someone leaked the charges. could this impact the trial at all? like, could he claim it was improper and therefore get the whole thing thrown out?
    I am honestly asking because I am not good at understanding the law lol

      He can, and will, claim all sorts of shit.

      But no - the courts wouldn’t just “throw everything out” over that.

      I’m not a lawyer so take this with a big grain of salt, but the charges get read at the beginning of the trial so it’s not much of a spoiler. It’s hard to imagine this would have an appreciable impact.
