FBI Search and Seizure at Trump's Mar-A-Lago Residence, August 8, 2022, Case Dismissed July 15, 2024

I’m sure that they’ll give him a form to fill out and submit. The form will include how much he’ll have to pay per page.

I’m also sure that other requests have been submitted days ago.

I’m going to identify every single document that they blocked from being declassified at the National Archives and we are going to start putting that information out next week.”
Hey, thanks for telling us in advance that you’re planning to break the law!
We’ll be sure to fluff the MyPillow and leave a mint on it . . . in your prison cell that is.

I also support your post, especially the portion I quote below:

It all depends on the number of yokels.

Donald Trump won two impeachment trials because he convinced some yokels.

Those yokels being the Republican controled Senate. That’s not convincing, its partisanship. Lost the election BTW. You know, the one where the American people decide. He’s been a crybaby about it ever since.

He is a loser by his own definition. And actually there has never been a bigger loser. He lost by the most votes ever. What a loser. Biggest loser ever. He even sucks at being a loser. A worst loser than Al Gore or Hillary Clinton. Worst than John McCain or Mitt Romney. At least they knew how to lose.

This one is going to need and get another lesson.

He convinced no one. Do you really believe that all those Republicans were honestly voting their conscience, as opposed to voting according to cynically calculated political interests?

And not being impeached is not a win. Its a disgrace that it went that far. Yet another sign that shows he is a loser.

FTR. Twice impeached. -By the house, which has impeachment authority.
From my understanding, the Senate not confirming doesn’t cancel an impeachment.
If the Senate did sign on to the impeachment, they could then consider what the punishment (if any) could be up to and including forbidding the perp from serving in a federal position.

As much as I would like this to be true - Walter Mondale lost by almost 17 million popular votes in 1984. Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole by almost 10 million in 1996, though Perot had probably created a lot of that margin by grabbing 8 million votes.

From my understanding, the House decides impeachment. The Senate decides conviction or acquittal.

Yea.
That was poor sentence structure on my part.
Yours, however was short and succinct.
At any rate, no Senate, no punishment.

From my understanding, if you are tried and acquitted, it is unfair to hold the indictment against you.

Impeachment isn’t quite the same as a criminal inditement. Trump did lose election in 2020, but the first impeachment seemed to help him a bit in the polls. And he’s still polling reasonably well.

The Justice Department shouldn’t make inditement decisions based on stopping someone, however bad, from getting elected. But if that was their aim, the priority would be to stop giving Donald wins. And it seems to me that a hung jury would be a win. Only conviction is a loss.

Are you saying that the Senate acquitted him?
Ignorance fought…

Reviewing the definition of acquittal, that fits.

Yes; that’s how the impeachment process works – and, remember, despite some similar terms, impeachment is not a criminal or civil trial, and is not a punitive process; it’s a governmental procedure. Similarly, Bill Clinton was impeached (by the House), but as with Trump, the Senate acquitted him.

Got it.
It’s the right term.

Side note:
Never take my legal advice.

I was of course being sarcastic. Trump is the biggest and best whatever he is talking about.

I cannot believe the judge might allow the release of even a redacted version of the Affidavit. I hope it does not happen, but even if it does it does not create a loophole for Trump to squeeze through.

This seems very ill-advised to me.

I’m more concerned at the trumpies complaining that “IT’S SO REDACTED IT’S FAKE” cries will be louder than them already being told it will be “heavily redacted”.

You listening, Fox Entertainment? I want residuals on this headline when the super-has-to-be-fake redacted affidavit is realeased. :rofl:

But it is true, not that he lost by the largest margin, but that no candidate in the history of the US had more votes go to their opponent. In that sense, it was the largest loss ever.
