Will Trump go to jail? Can he be president? What’s next after guilty verdict? Washington Post
That Former President Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies is shocking. At least, I was shocked, although not exactly surprised. I shouldn’t have been shocked either, everybody I talked to thought he was guilty (although the people I talked to represented an extremely biased sample). I also shouldn’t have been shocked because, like almost everything Trump is involved in, his defense was incompetent. They fought everything, starting with “Trump didn’t have sex with Stormy Daniels” when he clearly did rather than concentrating on one or two weak parts of the prosecution.
Quilty of all 34 felonies shouldn’t be surprising because they are linked so that if he is guilty of one, he was logically guilty of them all: the Invoice from Michael Cohen, marked as a record of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust (felony #1) was entered into the Detail General Ledger for the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, bearing voucher number 842457 (felony #2), and then paid by Check and check stub, Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust Account, bearing check number 000138 which is felony #4, and so on. Still, “Guilty” 34 times is shocking.
Shocking!
I had resigned myself to a hung jury result and I was shocked too. Whether or not it has any effect on the election remains to be seen. I’m still grateful that some parts of the system still work. Going out to celebrate anyhow.
Wow is correct. A Big Moment but let’s see what happens. His fervent believers will dismiss the conviction(s) and/or use them as political accelerant. Now onto Georgia…
I’m shocked and pissed – which is another way of saying I’m afraid, guess – that the Republicans circled their wagons that fast.
I expected a hung jury so i was surprised and delighted, but I believe it will have no impact on the election.
PS The Post banner headline was shocking!
