Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any appearance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect?
I'm not saying that it's likely or that it would have any effects.
He should be sentenced if he is a sitting president. Eric Adams didn't get a free pass for being in office and neither should the president because the president isn't a fucking king.
He won't be due to how shit our system is, or he would have been sentenced months ago like a normal person.
He can be, but they won’t.
It is a universal axiom that any question starting with "Will Trump ever face consequences for..." can be answered with "no".
If, instead of prison, Trump was faced with a free luxury mansion on a private island and a $1B/yr pension to live out the rest of his years Epstein style, Kamala may have had a chance. As soon as the alternative included a hint of repercussions for his actions, the universe simply could not allow it.
Doesn't matter anyway, the spineless bitch conceded faster than John Kerry did.
Just came to say you're a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone's lives worse? again coward and an idiot
Have you met the Supreme Court? No he's not going to be in jail.
Trump is above the law. Lol.
Oh no, of course he can't. There's decorum and precedent to consider! Best to give him free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants without fear of consequence or repercussion.
Wouldn't want to upset our dear ruler now would we?
Nor do those with similar positions as him want to establish precedent that they can be held accountable, which is the root reason why it took 4 years to accomplish exactly nothing.
I projected three years ago that come the 2024 election it's all going to dissolve into a nothing burger, regardless who wins, it was solely a dog and pony show to keep us divided and on edge. The same way that Hunter Biden suddenly is no longer discussed now that Biden is out of the race.
They wrote. It down.
It may prove to not end in consequences, but they took notes on a criminal conspiracy before the outcome and it’s part of evidence submitted in federal court.
Nothing burger is not nothing.
The courts are already starting to wind down investigations. This would have been the result regardless who won
It's always to distract you from who is really pulling the strings. The super wealthy.
No the DOJ will begin winding down all investigations and closing cases against trump effective immediately. They are just trying to figure out how to do it.
No.
It's over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he'll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
It’s all going away. There will be no punishment. We’re done here.
To be clear, none of that is a good thing.
As a first time offender, he may not be getting a jail sentence regardless. Even if he did, though, he could just file an appeal and in the time it would take to hear it, he would be President and whatever sentence would be immediately put on hold l.
He's not getting sentenced. Period. He never was. All of these delays have been powerful people kicking the can down the curb, waiting for a way to make the whole thing go away. They don't want politicians and billionaires being held accountable, or then they too may one day be held accountable.
Laws only apply to poor people.
You’re mistaken. He is a king now.
When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become king. The palace becomes a circus.
Nice
Chief Justice Roberts is ready and willing to kiss the ring... and lick the boots when ordered.
He can legally kill his political opponents, according to the supreme justices.
What part of "untouchable" do some people still just not comprehend?
Honestly, there is a reasonable chance he gets assassinated this term. No one is out of reach from the sword of Damocles.
I like this Damocles guy, but I wouldn't hire him for interior decorating
it's fucking joever, if the guy didn't have the nuts to nip this in the bud, he's certainly not going to grow a pair now and give him his just desserts.
aint shit gonna happen.
Theoretically, yes he can. Under US law (if the justice system was working correctly at all), no individual is above the law.
However, it is very unlikely. Trump is stupidly popular amongst people willing to overturn the establishment to let him do whatever he wants. Not to mention that he has a favourable supreme court that can just choose not to prosecute him.
Yes, he can.
But he won't be, or he'll be given a suspended sentence that will never be supervised.
LOL
lol no
no
I'm gonna mostly copy paste my answer from another question I answered:
What will happen is the judge would give a slap on the wrist sentence like a fine and call it a day.
Because the alternative is the judge giving a prison sentence and then the president goes “The NY Courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it” essentially creating a State vs Federal government political crisis.
Spoilers, the Federal government wins.
What if NY gonna do, send agents to somehow get past the SS to arrest the president?
If that was even attempted, the president would invoke insurrection act and arrest the governor/judge/ whoever gave the order for the arrest and flip the narrative, claiming the state officials are attempting a coup.
Edit: Also, giving him a prison sentence before he takes office wouldn't do anything either. Even if the Biden-led SS cooperates, on Jan 20 at noon he is president and the military is getting him out, he'd the order the arrest of NY state officials.
Odd. The question fits here, but it isn't a stupid question, its relevance is astonishingly stupid.
Biden as a zionist wants what zionists want. It seemed to be good electoral gambit back in 2021 to let Trump embarass himself and GOP more by walking around unhinged, but after October 7th, Zionists want him to win and DNC wants what Zionists tell them to want.
Putting Trump in military jail for the treason charges makes sense instead of Aileen Canon case, and makes sense after Aileen Canon misbehaviour. Either the treason charges are as serious as Jack Smith says they are, and military jail is the right solution today, or it was all a witch hunt as Trump calls it. DNC making fundraising charades to hand over power to GOP fascism seems to be very pro Trump of them.
