Should Donald Trump be Sentenced to Jail for 34 Felonies?

[We Never Know]

I don't agree with how sellers and manufacturers have been targeted for the actions of criminals with legally purchased items. But since it's been the case, why not go after the software manufacturer of Trump's accountant since it allowed for the payment to be entered as a legal expense rather than an "election interference" expense as was the accusation?

"why not go after the software manufacturer of Trump's accountant since it allowed for the payment to be entered as a legal expense rather than an "election interference"

You're joking right?

Lets say if election interference was an available choice, do you think they would have chosen that choice?
And if they did chose that choice, wouldn't that be acknowledging to committing that crime?

I thought this thread was to discuss the sentencing for the Kangaroo court verdict.

No, this was not about the first trial of Trump under the Republican controlled Senate. Where did you get that crazy idea from?

I would hazard a guess, but it would be a blatant violation of Forum Rules...

IOW, there was no "correct" way to enter the payment without becoming a convicted felon.
Funny then how the person receiving that payment ends up being a star witness for the prosecution, rather than being jailed for accepting a so-called, "interference of an election" payment. Stormy Daniels clearly benefited.

There would have been a correct way to do it. It was a campaign expense. He should have entered it that way. Instead they went out of their way to hide the payment to the point that Trump ended up paying twice as much to keep Stormy quiet.

Then Biden's campaign should be prosecuted for hiding the Hunter Biden laptop story, which people have said would have changed their vote if they'd known about it.

How did they hide that nonstory? There was nothing to it that was not already known about him. Well except for the naked pictures that excited MTG so much. I guess that she is not getting any.

Trump is not a flight risk , so no.

Say what people may, Trump actually faces his accusers and can take the penalties, if any, in stride should it occur.

Faces his accusers? What?
Half the time he pretends like he doesn't even know them and has never met them.

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

Has he even been tried for any of those accusations?

That was in response to, "They [MAGA] know he's guilty of stealing state secrets and lying about it as well as trying to subvert the election in Georgia and multiple crimes related to the refusal to leave office including insurrection."

Patience. That's coming.

So much for the idea of "rule of law" being paramount with liberals.

You're arguing that liberals don't support the rule of law because I named the crimes that Trump has been indicted for?

Speaker Johnson just called the Republicans the rule of law party (more than once). You might enjoy this: Speaker Johnson falsely labels the GOP the ‘rule of law party’

Then why not go all the way back to the publisher of whatever accounting software Trump's accountant used to supposedly enter the payment under the wrong heading? If a bookkeeping error can be a felony, then it only makes sense for the bookkeeping software writer/publisher to be liable for not having appropriate menu options to enter a payment with what a court would claim is the correct entry.

The software company didn't commit the crime.

IOW, there was no "correct" way to enter the payment without becoming a convicted felon.

Sure there was. Just don't select "legal expenses." I'll bet that "other" was an option. And if not - if a correct answer wasn't possible - try other software.

Then Biden's campaign should be prosecuted for hiding the Hunter Biden laptop story, which people have said would have changed their vote if they'd known about it.

It's all so unfair to you, isn't it? Neither Biden nor his campaign committed a crime there.

 

[SkepticThinker]

I think he should be sentenced to 4 years in the White House, and forced to make this country great again, just as he did the first time when he did it voluntarily.
Call it 4 years of community service.

So the punishment for committing a crime should be 4 years in the White House.

Mmkay.

How much you want to bet that that is not even on the list of possible punishments the Judge is reveiwing?

A "nonstory" that happens to be a big part of the story in Hunter's prosecution for his gun crime.

Well, look what Biden has become after almost 4 years. Don't you want to see Trump end up looking like that?

Trump looks like a big orange clown.

Oh yeah?!?! Well, Biden looks like, like a....an old sympathetic forgetful old man!
So there! Take that!!!

we will se just how "big" a story it will be seeing as Hunters trial is going on right now.

 

[Pogo]

I was thinking about this today. I would hate hate hate to be the judge in this case, in charge of the sentencing. Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't!

So he did what he was paid to do and damn the consequences.
It is what an honest person does.

I'd still hate to be him.

Is it? Do you even know why that prosecution will probably fail? You really should if you are a Republican.

It is not an easy job. No matter how he rules there will be countless people attacking him. It is best to follow ones morals and hope that others will see the light eventually.
