The case against him and Letitia James were BOTH BS, and because they totally screwed up the appointment of Lindsey, now the judge laughed it out of court and now the statute of limitations is up so good luck indicting Comey now and James case has already been investigated which proves this case is just another revenge tactic from our own POS authoritarian POTUS.

Actually the judge only checked if the form was corect up to now. There was no decision on the case per se.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.vaed.582135/gov.uscourts.vaed.582135.213.0.pdf

Thanks This will help Sonhouse stay on the issues.
Oh why would someone respond to a thread about men having babies? Also, why do liberals never use the word self-sufficiency or self-reliance? Just thought I’d throw a couple new issues out there.
It is about sexual identity in color of skin. Those were Biden and Obama hallmarks.Yet you all keep writing about it when that is the least of what Trump is all about. You just cannot get used to the reality at all.

Where were all these people when Trump and 20 of his staff members were getting railroaded off on fake charges?
What was the name of the Trump staffer that got rousted out of bed before the sun came up and got perp-walked off in his pajamas in handcuffs and ankle chains?
And WHY TF did they not cry about it when Trump was required to report to jail and get booked with a mugshot? Only the Damn Dems would put a former president in such an undignified position.
Disgraceful.
Obama should have the same thing done for all the chit he's done.
Hopefully he still will.

Just one thing: Trump was actually found gilty of breaking the law by a court.

Found guilty of what, exactly? Those so-called "34 felony charges?"
The ones that were misdemeanors that magically got called felonies, done by a nameless army of bookeepers and accountants in his employ that he didn't even know about?
Oh yeah, those ones, where the statute of limitations got magically ignored by a judge that may as well have sat at the prosecutor's bench while denying every single objection by the defense and allowing the DA free reign to do whatever TF was asked for.

“Just one thing.” One thing. Ok. It is what it is, those pesky journal entries. Only a wimp would highlight that.
You do better just writing about sexual identity and skin color. Making a lot of headway on that front!!

The relevant document is to be found here:

https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFs/press/PDFs/People%20v.%20DJT%20Clayton%20Decision.pdf

That is from the Supreme Court of New York. Do you really think that you know better than the professional and experienced judges there?

So @Cliff wrote about undignified and in my opinion Trump behaved very undignified.

Like we have said time and time again, Trump has gotten soft treatment in every court case he was charged.
But you forget his two so called businesses, Trump uni and trump ''charity'' were shut down by the government for FRAUD, and HUNDREDS of people were shafted, 18 yo kids wanting to get a college education, tuition money going directly to Trumps pocket and the same with the so called ''charity'', Lots of folks screwed there too, supposedly a charity but in reality a grift going directly to Trump and fined TWENY FIVE MILLION for reparations.
Yep, all those witch hunts.
Those 34 felonies would have been REAL felonies if it was you or I and if it had been you or I we would already have been in jail for YEARS and BTW there are many many cases exactly like that where people were sentenced to jail for real.
But in Trumps court case he showed ZERO respect for the judge, falling asleep, yelling at the judge, threatening everyone involved, even the fking STENOGRAPHER and was held in contempt TEN times, ten thousand dollar fine right there, YOU OR I would have been put in jail JUST FOR THAT but the ALL soft shoed our corrupter in chief.
Our justice system has two layers, one for common folk, another for Trump and his billionaire buddies..
Don't forget, THEY EAT DOGS, THEY EAT CATS, or put a magnet in water, NO MAGNET ANY MORE. or Stick a UV light up your ass, kills Covid in MINUTES.
And so many more examples of outright STUPIDITY people have written BOOKS about his inability to read, to give a rats ass about people, he would throw his own mother under the bus if it kept his sorry ass out of jail.

Shav says Truman bombing 100k people was undignified.
Pitiful. Would you rather Trump be like Joe Biden? A failure? Note how much Trump learned from his first administration, where he had to fire people,,, note that he has fired no one ,now that he has his act together and knows how to do everything that he is doing perfectly. A perfect cabinet, with never a thought given to DEI. Perfect cabinet. Do you libs ever approach these issues with any thought given to the perfect running of the government by our cabinet?

Funny how all these people were silent, or actually supportive, of Joe Biden during his nightmare presidency.

The judge laughed it out of court? Exaggerate much? Funny how all these cases are laughed out of court but nobody actually laughed. The case is just delayed. Nobody screwed up.

Except in Comey's case, the statute of limitations ran out so YES they DID screw up BIG TIME.
AND the next judge will SEE just how badly they screwed up and will be waiting for them with bated breath.

I guess you forgot the OP here was the COMEY indictment which is just another one of Trumps REVENGE tactic, in this case it was because Trump asked Comey for loyalty to TRUMP, meaning FK the constitution and Comey replied and I quote, 'My loyalty is to the constitution'.

Three days later Comey is fired, there is nothing more to it than that, REVENGE for not pledging fealty to Trump and Trump ALONE.

THAT is what Trump is after and ALL the assswipes he chose like Patel, Bondi, RFK jr, and the rest of that idiot cabal, the ONLY bullet on their resume, they drank the kool aid and pledged loyalty to Trump and Trump alone and SCREW any independence they were SUPPOSED to have, like DOJ SUPPOSED to be totally independent of POTUS for the very reason that the forefathers KNEW it was possible some tyrant would do EXACTLY what Trump is doing RIGHT NOW.

Attempting to take over ALL the other branches of government but it turns out the Epstein file will be his downfall and not a day too soon for that since his dearest wish is to be a LITERAL dictator as seen by the dudes he invites to the WH, dictators from around the world. He ADORES didctators. He says he is in LOVE with Kim Jong Un, LOVE LETTERS written.

If that doesn't say "I want to be a dictator just like them' NOTHING else will until all you ultrarightwingnuts finally realize when it is WAY too late he DOES become a dictator which we will ALWAYS fight. But that is not the case with all Americans, there are some who say it is TIME for a dictator but not me and I hope not anyone here at RHP.
