Trump Civilly Liable

[The Hammer]

Federal judge rules that Trump can be sued over the Capitol riot and does not have absolute immunity

In an unprecedented ruling, a Judge has ruled that Trump can be held civilly responsible over the Capitol Riot, he can be sued.

The discovery process will be interesting. Of course civil lawsuits can drag on very long due to the complex discovery process, but trump will sweat. He surely knows his attitudes and decisions led to serious criminal effects.

I would be interested to see a list of all the legal cases against trump, he must be exhausted because there is almost daily ruling that are not good news for him.

Yeah, it's not a good look. But what's that saying? "You play with fire..."

In time history is always wiped away. But how long until then? And how's the memory live on.

We have a history of repeating mistakes.

The clickbait headlines will be fantastic, I'm sure.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Sure. Like that will actually happen.

 

[fantome profane]

Sure. Like that will actually happen.

The chances that Trump will be sued is 100%. And there is better than a 50% chance he will lose, or settle.

Don’t get me wrong. Trump will never be convicted of anything criminal, he is to powerful for that. But as for civil suits, he has a history of losing and/or settling and that will continue to happen.

He has a loan of 100 million due in September, and then $540 million due in the next 4 years, and with his brand sinking like a rock, and Mazars quitting him, I suspect the financial doom is closing in.

Right. People who think Trump will never face consequences are wrong. He has already faced consequences and it is just starting. He is never going to jail or anything like that, but there are consequences.

I think the only thing that can save him at this point is his poor health. It will take some time before the many investigations are completed, but it's all going to come out eventually. His kids will have to face most of the fallout of his corruption, Ivanka's reputation and brand is ruined, so she's lost that already. I'm not sure how the kids can rebuild the failing business. I don't think they have the deceptive skill that Don has. They all could face bankruptcy.

Too bad playing defendant is one thing Trump has shown he's competent at, even if it's just because he has more money to sink into it than the plaintiff.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Maybe at best he'll have to wear an ankle bracelet under home confinement. But I think prison would suit him better as a symbol of American greatness where no criminal is above the law. Look at all his buddies he needed to pardon to get them out. Of course, some future Republican president might be just as corrupt as Donald and pardon him, but let's not count those chickens just yet.

Lock him up

Can you imagine the jury selection.

The Farting Trumpet has out-stayed his welcome on our planet, and should be sent back to where he came from - the planet Littatrey in the Naff Nebulous.

You may be right depending on the 2022 election. He has broken the law by taking with him classified material, I don't see a Republican House or a Republican AG going after him.

Either way nothing will come of it.

Republicans Cheney and Kinzinger say they've already seen more than enough evidence that he was directly involved in an attempted overthrow of our duly elected government plus major financial infractions. The irony is that it could be more the latter that eventually sinks his ship.

Yeah, that would be interesting vetting that group. They have already though to the best of my knowledge convened two grand juries for Trump, one in New York, and one in Georgia.

Those are the ones that hand out indictments, once they feel the prosecution has a solid enough case to prove the charges it plans to bring. I was on a grand jury before, and while it's not the same as a trial jury, there is still a diversity of views and vetting that goes on. Trials are different though. But we've already seen the tide turn where cops are now being held accountable for their crimes, so I suspect Trump will see some jail time, just like that cop Derek Chauvin who murdered George Floyd got 22 years.

Frankly, I think that is necessary to restore faith in American democracy. Not even the president is above the law, which is something Trump has always cynically assumed about himself. Time for reality to put him where he belongs.
