Reply to comment by hamsterfolly in Justice Department convinces federal judge Trump used his attorney in furtherance of a crime in classified docs probe by Picture-unrelated

I believe he will skate, but he’s screwed in Georgia state.

Please know we don’t want to martyr him, FYI Hitler went to prison and rose to power.

History doesn’t repeat, but rhymes pretty fucken well.

Also hitler was mid 30's when he went to jail. Trump is old.

Hitler also only ended up going to prison for a few months, which was a total slap on the wrists for staging an attempted coup.

No guilt and no shame,. most likely. They've got no trouble sleeping soundly at night, which does a lot in the stress department.

I don't think you have to worry about Trump writing in jail.

What does a guy who doesn't read do in prison?

You could have stopped at "I don't think you have to worry about Trump writing" even if he has crayons.

Didn't his previous book/s use ghostwriters? Achieving fascism through contractors would be very American.

Hitler wasn't in his 70's when he was arrested.

Yeah, for that reason I'm doubtful that Trump will actually see the inside of a prison cell. Even a straightforward case like the Stormy Daniels thing could be stretched out to two years pretty easily. Trump is 76 (77 in a few months), and nature abhors 300-pound septuagenarians.

That said, it's enough for me that he spends the rest of his life dodging process servers and sitting in courtrooms/lawyers' offices, burning his supporters' money all the while. At this point, any sentence would be a pittance compared to the harm he has caused. So at this point, I just want the process to be as personally miserable as possible while causing the maximum amount of damage to his party and his base.

He may not be screwed in Georgia. The state is working on a law, Georgia House Bill 231, to remove prosecutors and district attorneys from their posts.

Copied from CNN: House Bill 231 would create the "Prosecuting Attorneys Oversight Commission, which shall have the power to discipline, remove, and cause involuntary retirement of appointed or elected district attorneys or solicitors-general."

So Trump may skate charges in Georgia once this becomes law and they remove the prosecutor.

We need oversight, whatever politics you have…people need to be informed of this bad bill.

An unelected office with the ability to remove elected officers sounds like a generally bad idea.

Okay, no martyring, got it. But how about tar and feathering?

Hitler was a lot younger and a lot more intelligent.

Hitler wasn't really that smart. He had a few smart people around him but in the end he mostly chose crazy, yes-men to listen to. I mean think about his strategy going into the war. It was basically just... hit them really fast before they can react. "They" being most of the other world powers all at once. He started losing as soon as the opposition forces got their feet under themselves.

My two cents that isn't even worth that much. He will get inedited but it will take years to wrap up. In the mean time the GOP will shelf him for 2024, then Trump will run independently and split the Republican's vote between him and the GOPs candidate, thus allowing the Dems to put in who ever they want.

Counting on the republicans to screw themselves is how trump got in office in the first place. They will absolutely rally around whoever wins the primary. They do not care about choosing the best candidate, or any other silly concepts like competence. Only about doing whatever it takes to hurt you.

I mean I'm not counting on it by any means just my thoughts on what will happen. Either way we all need to vote, ideally for the Dems..
