Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The case is rock solid. But in 12 people there’s probably a nut case cultist. That said, there’s no way the feds let him get to Russia. Trump will count on a pardon. And he’ll probably get it, if he doesn’t die first.
Only the governor of the state can issue a pardon for state crimes. It doesn't look like the current governor is going to do that.
NY? The NY the violations in this that indictment has no recommendations for jail time.
The only indictment with jail time in the sentencing guidelines are the federal indictments. Sentencing guidelines call for a 10-20 years on those charges.
The article is about the charges in Georgia.
The comments you are replying to aren’t about hypothetical charges in Georgia that don’t exist. They’re about all and any charges.
You're the only person in this thread talking about New York, it seems. But okay, if you say so.
People you are replying to in this thread are about the indictments in general. They discussing whether the charged stick, etc. Then you brought up state charges. The only state charges that exist are in NY, that’s why I mentioned them in response. There’s no charges in GA, and there might never be.
Also, a sitting president is 100% insulated from state authorities while in office. So unless the trial takes less than a years time, which it won’t, and never does, it won’t matter if he wins. At least not until Jan 22 of 2029. By then the damage will be done.

Perhaps you initially responded to the wrong comment? 'Cause I don't see it.
The comment I am replying to doesn’t specify GA. No one but you specified GA, and I don’t see why you would since there’s no charges there.

The article is about Georgia. You're the only one in this thread talking about New York.
