But there's no evidence!

What should worry everyone is the people are driving this have no desire to see justice but rather are using the idea of justice as a political tool to take out a perceived danger to their power. Dangerous stuff. As stated previously in this thread justice is ignored when it applies to them but are willing to use the pretext of it as a political tool. And again most Americans will tolerate because they believe the bias media and won't think for themselves. To sets of standards the left use.

But, somehow it does not. It is blatantly clear that the "justice system" is being abused to the point that people are being prosecuted, or not, depending on which political position they support. I don't understand how anyone, regardless of their hatred for any individual, or lockstep support for their party, could think a process this corrupt could be good for our country.

Yes, and it will intimidate quite a few.

Thanks.
This paragraph is the whole reason why.....

The development signals that the Manhattan district attorney's office was moving toward seeking charges as a result of its two-year investigation, which included a lengthy legal battle to obtain Trump's tax records

It’s going to make the lawyer’s job easy, they’ll only have to ask one question. lol

If lying and cheating on the wife was criminal the people prosecuting him might all be in jail along with most of DC. LOL

Just what I expected, An unnamed source, Always been good enough for you. The big one was for paying hush money to women, not exactly wiping clean a govt server or govt emails, but should be worth a couple million tax payer dollars. SMH, I am begining to think you dont even know how dumb you sound.

I understand what you are saying but notice I said "anyone." If the evidence shows that those people committed a crime, we should investigate and prosecute them.

Trump supporters however cannot ethically scream about certain people, Clintons and Bidens for example, not being investigated and simultaneously scream that Trump is innocent and this investigation is just political payback--without seeing the evidence. Conservatives believe in the judicial system and let it work.

Be ethically and intellectually consistent. If the evidence shows that Trump, his company(ies) or his people committed crimes, any or all of them should be prosecuted according to the evidence. If Trump is prosecuted and convicted, even the most avid Trump supporter should say good riddance to him and move on.

Blaine:

I would appreciate your opinion of this article.

The judicial system is a joke and anyone in it that is watching what is going on and doing nothing is equal.

Just read what all the N.Y. AG has said to get elected and has said since. Enough said.

I read it. The author must not have tried many cases if he thinks its a slam dunk for the Trump organization at trial--assuming the matter goes to trial. No jury trial is a slam dunk.

The rest of the article is full of generalizations and I was underwhelmed by his arguments. And, he's flat wrong about officers of corporations not being prosecuted/guilty for the acts of the corporation. It happens. He's also wrong about individuals being safe from prosecution on tax crimes if an accountant prepared his/her taxes. He was wrong about more but those two examples struck me as most relevant.

I'm not the prosecutor. I haven't seen the evidence and neither has the author. Maybe there is nothing to see here. Maybe there is. I do agree the grand jury is politically driven but these things happen when you get on the political radar.

Thanks ! I thought he might be wrong on the statute of limitations argument especially where state taxes might be involved. But if something was questionable about the TTO taxes then one would think the IRS would have raised that issue by now.

I saw that too. I don't know much about the SOL on taxes but the other two I pointed out are definitely errors. I know for a fact that the officers of my clients can be criminally liable for the acts of their companies--in certain situations.

Like I said, who knows how this will play out? But for anyone to suggest Trump, his company or his people are innocent just because this is political or just because the Clintons were not prosecuted for whatever crime or reason is premature and wrong. This is why we have courts--if it gets that far.

I certainly haven't convicted Trump, his company or people yet in my mind. I haven't seen the charge or the evidence.

Same here !

Thanks much !

All this is not about Trump being guilty or innocent !!

It's about placing an anchor around his neck via name calling and for what those who don't want him around choose to keep saying and pushing, as long as the media continues to bite and spread anything negative about Trump these people win.

The more these people can keep his name in the mud the longer they can expect the fickle public to start believing what they say, while doing so "they" continue to create doubt about Trump ever running again for anything or even for listening to !!

Others can sit and diagnose what ever, the bottom line is there is a terrific amount of fear in Trumps appeal yet to voters !

Maybe I missed it, but I did not read where anyone on this thread wrote that, or even insinuated that, Trump was innocent. Could you point that out for me?

I did read several mentions that this is a politically motivated witchhunt which, in my opinion, is completely correct. It really only takes a slight awareness of the current political climate in a little bit of common sense to understand that.

political persecution to ensure continued control of government by the socialists....been done often thru ought history.
