wonder how long itll be before he vacates all his convictions and suit penalties

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

While he can't legally vacate his state felony convictions it will either go:

The judge gives him a slap on the wrist to appear neutral, because liberals love taking the high road and shooting themselves in the dick.
Trump tries and SCOTUS gives him a free pass because it is 'part of his duties as president' to not go to jail or whatever fucking excuse.

John Roberts will be remembered for plunging his knife into America's vulnerable.

They should throw the book at him and lock him in solitary (because gen pop is too dangerous for a President Elect).

Yeah, SCOTUS will bail him out saying the President has to government, but he's not President for 2 more months and the conviction is for crimes prior to his guest presidency, so Executive immunity doesn't count. Let him rot for 2 months.

That would be doing the right thing so of course it won't happen.

If the judge is brave enough to actually put him in prison trump will just ignore it.

This is the guy who never pays his business partners. Who is going to make him go to prison? Someone immune to criminal prosecution and in charge of the military surrounded by yes men in control of every branch of government.

The same guy who has avoided all consequences for anything he has ever done up to now and was allowed to run again. The sentencing date was set specifically after the election to see the results first.

I would prefer the judge actually sentenced him to jail even uf it gets ignored, but I expect that to play a part in them taking it down to a slap on the wrist.

They should have done that months ago

Justice delayed is justice denied.

He should have been indicted for all this shit the second he stepped out of office. These prosecutors intentionally delayed so they could do it closer to this election. Dumbfucks.
