Should Donald Trump be Sentenced to Jail for 34 Felonies?

[SkepticThinker]

He was convicted of a bookkeeping error. That was the big so-called "crime" you want to see him pay for.

Nope. 34 Counts of falsifying business records.
Plus the Trump Org. fraud.
Plus the Trump University fraud.
Plus the Trump Charity fraud.

Plus being liable for SEXUAL ABUSE and defamation.

That's enough for me.
Why isn't it enough for you? Why you do vociferously defend such a terrible person?

You really need to discard the Fox News talking points. You guys really think anybody is buying "bookkeeping error?"

If only.

Hunter Biden is the one who does not have a sentencing date.

A business record is a form of bookkeeping.

Except it was not an "error".
It was deliberate falsifying.
Not once.
not twice.
34 times.

Breaking news. Trump has not turned in one of his three guns. Convicted felons are barred from owning guns.

Donald Trump, recently convicted on 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records, admitted to New York officials that he had not surrendered a gun he possesses in Florida but that was registered in New York, according to CNN. It is a federal crime for someone convicted of a felony to possess a firearm or ammunition.​

​

An official who was briefed on the pre-sentencing meeting told CNN that Trump admitted to still possessing one of the three firearms listed on his New York City permit to carry concealed weapons. Two of the three pistols he was licensed to carry were handed over to police in March 2023, after his gun license was suspended in light of his arrest by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The third gun was "lawfully moved to Florida," presumably to his estate at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, where Trump was for the remotely-conducted hearing.​

​

Palm Beach police told CNN that they were not told of any gun that Trump might have, and none were turned over to them since his conviction in May. The New York City Police Department has now notified police in Florida and asked them to take appropriate action.​

Which is illegal.

No he was convicted of the felony offense of using fraudulent bookkeeping in furtherance of another crime which has been explained to you numerous times is a commonly charged offense in NYS. .

You are again repeating falsehoods after their explanation to you.

More accurate would be "still"....

"again" implies that it stopped, then started back up....

I'm glad you're ready to correct the other guy that it indeed was a bookkeeping error.

A bookkeeping entry reflecting a payment to protect his wife.
Is protecting his wife the other" "crime?

It was not an error.
it was deliberate fraud.
34 times.

The ONLY thing you got right was that it involves book keeping.

A bookkeeping entry reflecting a payment to protect his wife.

An illegal book keeping entry done on purpose, not in error, to perpetuate fraud.
34 times.

I guess you missed the memo.
Courts are left sided sources.
So they are not factual enough...

No and as was explained to the jury by several witnesses, that is not the reason for his action, Since he never testified in court, that explanation is at best hearsay as he was unwilling to make it under oath.

Instead of just outright paying her, he covered the payment up with records saying they were for something else(falsifying records)

He payed her off because he was afraid it would hurt his presidential run.(election interference)

He knows that "excuse" is a dog that don't hunt.
He also knew that if he took the stand it would open up a whole slew of questioning he did not want to answer because you can lie all you want on the campaign trail, but get caught lying in court under oath, you can get your backside handed to you.

A bookkeeping entry reflecting a payment to protect his wife.

You can keep asserting (without evidence) that the payment was made "to protect his wife". But the State of New York asserted (with evidence) that the payment was made to aid his political campaign.

The Jury agreed with the State of New York.
