"I think I asked this a while back. But now there's THAT tape that basically fucks him. Thoughts? Predictions?" I think it is very unlikely he will be jailed. It's his first offence of this nature, he is a 77 year old man, he claims he had the right to take them and SCOTUS is packed with lickspittle Republicans. He has also been preparing his followers for his martyrdom for months. Considering the casual way he displayed secret information to a journalist he is clearly intellectually and emotionally incapable of keeping a secret so for me the best course of action is to legally ban him from ever handling Secret information again. However that will not stop him becoming President again, when he will issue a blanked pardon on all his own federal charges and the whole circus will start again. I doubt the founding fathers ever thought, as they drafted the Constitution in 1778 following the brutal war of independence, that there would be a time the American people would be stupid enough to elect a President who cannot keep the very secrets who keep them safe. | |||

"Depends what he knows about other people. He might'fall' out a window." That is my theory, I think he will be dead soon | |||

"Depends what he knows about other people. He might'fall' out a window. That is my theory, I think he will be dead soon " No, they should keep him around forever if only for his great entertainment value. Going back to sensible American politics would be ever so boring.  | |||

He ain’t getting in age consideration if he isn’t showing any contriction or remorse Nope… they take that shit seriously, for example, a junior who did basically the same thing (taking stuff home) got 4 years in Iowa 2 weeks ago… If found guilty of the most serious felony the minimum federal advisory is 17.5 years… but there is a caveat in that where no single offence should get more than 10 years…. If the judge is being easy that is where the off ramp is rather than lining up offences to get him the higher sentence! Being given probation if he is found guilty of 30 odd offences would cause uproar | |||

"It's starting to feel like Trump's at risk of actually going to jail." If he gets found guilty.. if the judge gives him what should be the federal minimum, trump will appeal! If the judge were to give him probation there is zero doubt the DOJ would appeal! That why the 10 year caveat may be the off ramp…. If he’s good then 15% off for good behaviour.. he is out in 8-9 years! The most interesting thing is if he is found guilty, the judge is going to have to do a full write up of how she got to the sentence she is imposing, so the justification may well be as fascinating… There is zero chance he gets probation because there are not going to be enough mitigation to get there without it looking like he isn’t being treated like anyone else would… And because this woman has already been slapped down by her seniors on another case concerning trump and it almost seeing like she gave deference to him… if she doesn’t play this with the straightest bat ever there are going to be questions asked! | |||

"0% chance he ends up in jail" I'm betting on house arrest with his secret service detail doubling up as prison guards. And the only boxes he's allowed are from KFC, McDonald's and Domino's Pizza. To keep him happy they tell him the promotional leaflets they put in the boxes are top secret. | |||

And if it is Judge Aileen Cannon she will probably direct an innocent verdict and award costs to Trump. | |||

"Is that how US presidential pardons work? Does the offender have to admit their guilt before they can be freed?" No, they just have to be a Republican. | |||

"Not too long ago Trump had the World at peace, No he will not go to Jail." Erm. The world and especially the US was in turmoil. But then since then, he appears to have broken the law. If found guilty, he may go to jail. | |||

"He may end up with even more federal charges by the end of the week… this time in relation to obstruction of change of power and the January 6th insurrection This one is interesting because because Michigan have filed state charges against those involved in the fake electors scheme, Georgia were looking at doing the same which is the one trump got caught up in with the phone call to find the votes… and apparently they have spoken to Wisconsin,Arizona,New Mexico,Nevada and Pennsylvania officials with regard to fake electors schemes in those states as well!

On research: I trust the word of such experts over anything I can personally dig up from a less trustworthy source. This is the same reason I'd trust my doctor instead of some random link on the web. I really don't see why you think any of this in an attempt at misinformation or dodging anything from me. V odd. | |||

"If convicted it would just cause more political Division and Destruction. Guess we shall see. Interesting times ahead. Political division and destruction created by whom? And that’s the point…. I hate that argument because you are then saying someone is above the law, and that they should get away with it because it’s inconvenient! You don't think it will not cause even more division and unrest? It will polarize people even more. Like or hate the argument it's already happening. The division is here the worse I have ever seen it. Like I said interesting times ahead. Like it or not. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it. Alot of people are not going to accept a conviction. " It may well cause division. So what? Fear of any1 is not a reason to not apply the law. You either have rule of law or you don't. | |||

"So more developments in the document case Superseding inditements filed yesterday that gives more information The document where in the meeting trump claimed they were housing plans to other people…. They were in fact Iranian attack plans!! Also now charge with obstruction as apparently once the knew the mar a lago search was coming they tried to delete all the surveillance cameras footage… which means that trump also kept that information from the lawyers who had to sign under oath that everything was given back!!! As I said… he is so going to jail!!! "It is looking worse & worse for him. | |||

I was about to say…. It may well be unethical… but it wasn’t illegal And as for the other example… the one thing about watergate that is going to coincide with the trump case is that the cover up is much worse than the crime In fact the watergate cover up is making what trump has done look like mastermind! Trump will eventually try and throw his coconspirators under the bus to save himself! You can absolutely see this one coming a mile off! | |||

"what surprises me is the republican party seems unable to ditch Trump & come up with a less controversial & more electable candidate? " Oh I can answer that….

I'm afraid it is this type of attitude that strengthens Trump's position amongst his supporters. Trump whether you love him or hate him, resinated with the electorate and captured the mood of the USA. People wanted to make America great again, and that was a line in the sand that gave Trump is populism. Great showmanship for those that wanted to believe in his vision. His ego and lack of statesmanship soon took centre stage in everything he did, but he was consistently misquoted and ridiculed by the press, giving him more support that allowed him to continue to be so brazen in his approach to home and world events. The press should have stepped back and reported on the facts and not made it personal, just like the BBC and Farage. | |||

"Another gets caught with cock in another women's mouth, punishment, nothing. What sort of legal punishment would you expect to be given to a man that puts his cock into a consenting woman's mouth?" Its about respect in highest office in the USA, it leaves him open to influence from other nations, remember the rumour regarding trump, Russian esc-orts laid on by Putin which where recorded in trumps hotel room. that's why it was against the rules, he cannot put himself in a compromising situation, and putting his cock into a consenting women's mouth who is not his wife see where I am going.

Thanks for rewriting American history…… I thought I had it misremembered Nixon resigned because he was about to be impeached by the house for watergate and had nowhere near enough support in the senate to survive He walked before he would have been pushed And after that he was pardoned for any crime’s by his old vice president, Gerald Ford So you ask why is trump in so much trouble? Where do we start! Retaining top secret documents.. jack smith has been super smart is actually not charging him with taking the documents from Washington down to Florida (and then to New Jersey) he is being charged with not given them back, then obstruction in not giving everything back when his lawyers had to declare under oath that he had given everything back, and obstruction in moving documents around so they wouldn’t be given back! And that’s without showing off top secret documents to people not authorised at any level to see it! And that is without what we think is coming which is obstruction in the course of a federal election and a change of power…. But yeah…. Squeeky clean! He is not not getting jail time because the absolute minimum jail time under what is charged with is 17.5 years…. There are no mitigating circumstances without any remorse or contriction… and some sort of probation would absolutely be challenged because lower level people have gotten jail time for less secure document retention | |||

I did say I will learn something and I just did, I could have done an internet search and gave you the correct information but conversation is golden and promotes good manners, in my experience. If you don't like trump then you don't like him it not an issue for me, it is just as I had noticed many foreign leaders get into bother and unlike us nothing happens to them or they get a pardon as in the usa. So when it comes to trump why is he going to jail, why are they wanting to imprision him, why will he get no pardon when others have. I don't need any answers just put my thought out there and I will continue to do so. Many thanks for your reply I did learn it was ford not Carter well reminded, but at least we agree that Nixon was a wrong un. | |||

You go to love when people play the racial card to make them feel special. Research the demographics of the incarcerated population and get back to us. What does the demographic have to do with it unless there are no rich white men incarcerated (there are)? It was playing the race card as the poster said. Rich, well connected white men are are a vanishingly small prison demographic. No race card played, and it’s frankly a cop-out to use that as an argument. Are you actually blind?? The poster said he won't go to jail because he's rich, well connected and WHITE. The fact that they used his race is a RACE card. Nope. The race card is when someone uses race to present a fact for which race is not really an element but they would like to claim it is. It’s my belief that this is not an example of this, due to overwhelming evidence that rich, well connected white folks tend not to end up in prison. Rich, well connected, white folk do go to prison, there's plenty of examples should you wish to look. I doubt you will but there's plenty out there. " That why I asked about the demographics. I’d like to see the breakdown that I’m sure you’ve looked into. | |||

"He'll certainly win the republican candidacy... and if he gets to biden he'll win, like it or not He’ll not be running in 2024. Gut feeling. " He will keep running because it’s the only thing that may possibly keep him out of jail… there is zero chance he wins the general because there is no state he lost in 20 that he would regain in 24 (bearing in mind in all the statewide races In 22 in contested states he says he’s won… the republicans did not gain one senate seat!) He might be lauded by his republican base… but there are not enough independents of disenfranchised republicans that would come back to trump to win.. | |||

"Two other things…. 1) there is lots of information regarding the Georgia situation in this federal indictment… so I wonder if this now persuades the Georgia DA not to press charges 2) trial calander…. He is supposed to be having his New York hush money trial In January, and the documents trial in May…. I wonder if New York would be prepared to delay their trial dates and with the documents cased trump trying to push it back and top secret clearance things…. I wonder if this will end up being the first trial… and it could get this one done on the quicker side " Keep going people like you contribute To his base. Clearly I am right. He might not win . Yet we are still here. Weird. No matter how much you scream and others. He has the support. Let me give a personal experience. Life was better under him. The only reason I like desantis is hoping he don't come across as to extreme to some people.I Guess trump is a better choice. Win or lose let the games begin. | |||

I really suggest you give it a read… because the more I read, the more I think “oh shit” Anyway… swings and roundabouts… where it looks like he drew the soft judge to oversee his case in Florida, it looks like he had drawn the hanging judge to oversee the case in DC Anyway… speedy trial act… hopefully 70 days from Thursday (if New York are prepared to defer) It also makes the document case more interesting because the 17.5 year federal minimum if found guilty in that case is premised on his having no other convictions…. If found guilty in DC, then the federal minimum for the Florida case goes up to 25 years! | |||

"I would encourage everyone mildly interested in trump to go and read the indictment… it’s 45 pages… it’s double spaced… it will probably take you 15-20 minutes tops! What you are going to hear is a lot of republicans spin and use whataboutism and deflection The interesting thing is that every single witness that will appear on the stand will be a Republican.. from the lower level staffers right up to then chief of staff mark meadows and then vice president Mike pence Remember you are going to hear the words Obama appointed judge a lot…. Also remember that when she was confirmed to the federal judge bench she was confirmed by the entire senate… the vote was 97-0 My only minor gripe is because it’s a federal trial.. at the moment there is no provision to have cameras or equipment in the courtroom so we can take it live or just listen… I hope they put in a request to make an exception because it would be in the public interest… I am sure the trump will say one thing in public and encourage it… and in court his legal team would fight that request tooth and nail! " I read the indictment earlier this morning. It seems astonishing to me that any right-minded person who read that would not at least pause their boot-licking adulation of a man who was denied what he wanted by...... Republicans. Anyone who can't accept the foundations of this indictment and who is willing to trash ALL of the Republican witnesses named in the indictment are cult followers. | |||

It's freely available. It demonstrates v clearly what Trump and his Co-conspirators did. | |||

"I think that it is highly unlikely, although I think that there are an alternative motive behind it, it could be because they dont want him to run for presidency next election, because they are afraid that he might be wining it." The charges against Trump are because he seems to have broken the law in multiple ways. This is about applying the law to even the richest & most powerful individuals. It's about showing there actually is rule of law for all. Trump will hopefully get his day in court where he will be judged in front of a jury. The same way any of us should be if we break the law. | |||

"I am reading that Trump’s defence is going to be that he believed then and continues to believe to this day that the election in 2020 was rigged and st01en from him. If this is the case, he could legitimately argue that it was he alone who was fighting with every sinew for democracy - and is continuing to do so. Of course in making a case like this he lives himself open to accusation of being irrational and unstable for disbelieving his own (and very senior) Republican colleagues, Representatives, Senators, Judges and other senior DOJ and State justice officials. He is now the man claiming that the earth is flat." The 'i am bang to rights so my only option is I am the messiah, the only one who can save you all' defence..

Very different things. The main topic where you get animated and disparaging is when discussing the NHS. In a recent thread your opening comment was to insult British people. I see very few if any posts insulting Americans. You also regularly insult individual posters. I think some of us are just keen to understand why you feel the need to do any of that? Seemingly that makes us “elite” for some reason? BTW what’s wrong with being elite? | |||

So technically we are going to protect the voice of us working class people. = Trump is the voice of the working class. 2. Get mad. Throw a fit = the working class gonna defend him. 3. I see it growing every day = there is growing anger amongst the working class at the treatment of Trump. 4. Like it or not he might be bulletproof = Blu hypothesises that Trump will continue to get away with stuff (and continue to have the support of working class). Ergo Blu thinks that Trump is good for the working class (or is saying the working class think Trump is good for them). So a fair question is to ask why Blu thinks that! | |||

This always niggles me. People are always saying that they value morals and principles in a politician, and that if a politician gets something wrong they should resign. Cameron initiated a referendum and then led a campaign to stay in the EU. He lost, so he resigned. I was expecting people to praise him for doing the right thing, but instead everybody complains that he 'ran away'. Criticise him for calling the referendum if you want, chastise him for failing to lead a better campaign, but you can't complain that he resigned when he lost the vote. That's the way we all want politicians to behave. | |||

Given the hiding May got as a "remainer" in charge, Camerons position would have been 100x worse. | |||

From my perspective, it appeared as if he called the referendum to win back voters from UKIP in the 2015 GE. Which he did, so you could have argued this was the right thing to do for his party. He campaigned to remain. Which by every conceivable measure, was the right thing to do for the country. | |||

Once the vote came in and 'leave' got the majority, he did the honourable thing and resigned, since his policy proposal had been rejected by the populace.

That might seem like a very insubstantial thing to you, but compare it to what Biden has done for poor people - nothing at all. I'm sure someone will come along with a list of good things that Biden has done for the USA, but what we're talking about here is things that directly affect the average working American. | |||
