Is trump going to be required to attend every court session? Surely he wouldn’t fly trumpforce 1 back and forth- he wouldn’t have time for anything else. I wonder if mtg’s house is within helicopter range?
One maybe potential positive thing- if all these soft, well-off buttholes got put away, there would be the first real effort at prison reform in decades.
A little OT, but here’s how I see it all working out. One day trump boards tf1, it heads east, and just keeps going. At one point trump’s entourage retires to to private quarters where they all don oxygen masks, at which time the cabin is depressurized. Eric Prince’s men, trump’s new security detail, emerge and dispose of the bodies.
Throughout history ‘smug doughy loser’ could describe many dictators & cult leaders. What’s astonishing is that they can somehow attract all the followers/worshipers that they do.
Since there were a number on unindicted co-conspirators, presumably because there wasn’t enough evidence at the moment, I was wondering if something does come up – like one of the 18 turning – they could get scooped up later.
And then 2020 came along and he pulled every stop to stay in power. So, not emperor, but “dictator for life” was a possibility that was too close for comfort. What Trump would do in a second term where there was no legal path to a third one is almost unimaginable, and would be even more brazenly malevolent than the growing list of crimes he already faces.
My simplistic layman’s view would only have one question: If convicted, would he go to federal prison or a state prison in Georgia? Again not knowing anything, I would think that a president can’t pardon somebody out of state prison, only federal prison.
Even the GA governor can’t pardon someone out of a GA prison. GA is somewhat unique in that regards.
Regarding who gets the right to actually imprison Trump… I’m not sure how these things get hammered out, but I know what when defendants have both federal and state convictions, they’re typically begging to serve their time in the federal pen because conditions are much better.
So I wonder whether, if Trump’s GA charges really look like they’re going to stick, he may plead out to federal charges to get the most lenient treatment. (I know that will be a tough pill to swallow, but GA state prison is much tougher).
