Donald Trump Will Be Convicted and Will See JAIL TIME

If you watch the news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, NEWSMAX and FOX NEWS, you will not totally hear the truth. That’s because they seem to always proclaim in their newscasts what their specific audiences want to hear. Up front in full disclosure, you are reading a website blog here that is a written by a Democrat. Ok, for you Republicans, this statement must turn you off for what I’m about to say, and for that reason, I believe that any Republican reading this article up to this point will just bail out and not read further.

But what you will read here is what most governments, Republican or Democratic, will not totally be transparent when it comes to how they manage their own affairs.

Here, you will receive what I totally believe is true. In my last article written, I stated that Donald Trump’s LLC were cancelled. What I should have said is that it is with certainty that they will be cancelled, pending the outcome of the Fraud trial now going on in New York.

But in an effort to not lead you on, I would like to state why it is my belief that Donald Trump will be convicted and will spend the rest of his life in a jail cell.

Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges across four different jurisdictions; he will face multiple convictions that will then equal several life sentences in jail confinement.

Donald Trump tried to bring an end to our government and our democracy and tried to overturn the will of the American voters to keep himself in power for a second term. The case against him to overturn the election will not be until next year, but Trump is presently all but surely will be convicted in the disgorgement case in progress NOW that will determine how much money he will have to pay to the State of New York for failing to pay his fair share of taxes and then over-valuating his properties throughout the years to be able to get very big loans from banks and be one of the companies on the Forbes top 400 list. It is a fraud case that will end in Trump then actually losing his LLC’s, take away all the money he has left, and even lose his property in Mar-a-lago. Trump needs to plead a deal, if possible, because once he is convicted, other court districts will never consider a plea deal. Trump may have to liquidate the Mara largo property to help pay his debts in New York. The baseline amount that the state of New York is asking for in the disgorgement case is $250 million dollars. But the actual amount awarded by Judge Arthur F. Engoron in the fraud case may be double or triple that amount.  But like I said from the onset, Trump is facing several life sentences in jail, and he will no longer need his properties, including the Trump Tower in New York, as he WILL spend the rest of his life in prison. Who knows what may happen in the future to his children, as they will be also affected in their business ventures in New York state and other jurisdictions.

Some of my close Republican friends of course are on the other side of the fence and believe Trump will never go to prison, but the facts are facts. Donald J. Trump has 91 felony charges now pending against him, and even if the majority of these charges get overturned, if just one of these felony charges are left that he is convicted of, he will spend time in a jail cell. The minimum amount of jail time could be as low as one year, but he would be incarcerated behind bars. But to be real here, with 91 felony charges pending against Trump, who in his right mind would believe that Trump would not spend the rest of his life in prison. The only people I know of that would believe that are my Republican friends.

 

Trump Guilty of Fraud – LLC’s in the State of New York CANCELLED

Trump never made the greatest of decisions, which is the main reason this blog exists. He only made them when it benefited him, and keeping within the law while doing it was no option for him. All he has done throughout his career was to circumvent the law, and not pay proper taxes, while at the same time, overvaluing his properties so that he could get super loans from banks. The only problem was that his properties were way overvalued by him, and he committed fraud when he borrowed money for property values that just didn’t exist. It was just a matter of time as New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron made a ruling against Donald Trump in the civil fraud case, in which just the preponderance of evidence is all that is required.  Since this is not a criminal case, there is no burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt needed, so Donald J. Trump is screwed. The judge found Donald Trump guilty of fraud by inflating his net worth in business transactions, and now without a jury trial to begin on Monday, October 2nd on the 6 other counts. The complete and utter destruction of his company is on the line. There is a chance that he will never be able to earn another buck for the rest of his life. Other counts are for insurance fraud, fraudulent financial statements used by Trump, and fraudulent business records. The judge also imposed sanctions on his attorneys, two of his children, along with two other company executives. Trump’s businesses are headquartered in New York, and now the Trump business model is held cold in their tracks. No more business in or from New York State. It is the ‘beginning of the end’ of Donald J. Trump.  Now court cases begin, and it will be non-stop litigation for Donald Trump in the midst of trying to run again for President. He will not be able to secure loans in the future most definitely in New York State, but other states would deny Trump the ability to borrow.

Just last week, it was found out that Donald Trump lost his opportunity to have a jury trial in the fraud case, because his attorney Alina Habba who didn’t submit forms in time so that a jury trial would be possible. Instead, it looks like Donald J. Trump will have to answer to Judge Engoron on October 2nd where the judge will now decide on monetary damages somewhere in the tune of $250+ million dollars. During the ruling by Engoron, Alina Habba was sanctioned for all the frivolous lawsuits made as she represented Trump.  This week on September 28th, Engoron found Trump liable of defrauding banks and insurers by fraudulently overvaluing his assets by at least $2.2 Billion dollars, and qualifying for loans he made using inflated property worth values.  Trump has no longer any control of his properties in the state of New York, as his LLCs are now canceled. With cancelled LLC’s, the business properties are now worthless on paper, and Trump won’t be able to sell them if he wanted to, according to Leitman Bailey, an American lawyer who practices residential and commercial real estate law. Trump would be in default on his loans, and no buyer would be able to buy the property, no title insurance company would be able to insure it, and therefore no sale could take place. Trump can no longer do business in the state of New York. He can no longer do business in his famous Trump Tower, that most likely will lose the name of ‘TRUMP TOWER’ on the exterior. Trump’s footprint in New York is being stomped out. Any LLC used in his New York businesses are now null and void, although Trump will file a temporary injunction to stop immediate effects of such a ruling, in which the final determination of his businesses in New York may be in limbo for maybe up to 2 years. LLC cancellations for Donald Trump is like tearing the heart out of the Trump business in New York, as his businesses no longer have the right to do business under the supervision of Donald Trump. He can no longer make money there.  Does this affect his business in Florida, Mara Largo?  He runs Mara Largo from his offices in New York. Of course, 8 other business locations in New York City are affected.

Trump will try and fight this decision by Engoron, but now he has more fish to fry. Like I just said, Trump has a hearing on Monday, and he plans to attend. He will also file an appeal that may take years to decide Trumps fate with all real estate owned and operated in the state of New York. By then, he may be incarcerated for other crimes. In any regard, things do not look good for Trump. With all this happening now, he still is running for President. Really?/!.,?/!  With his reputation put up on a table, who will support him now besides his MAGA Republicans?

So, what happens to ‘Trump Tower’ or ’40 Wall Street’ now that he can no longer run a business at or from these addresses? Well, for starters, Trump will have to hand control of his New York properties to an independent third party, also known as a receiver. He will still own them but will not have any control over them. He will not be allowed to manage them, or sell them, even if he wants to.   But, Judge Engoron hasn’t made a final decision if the assets can be managed by a third party or whether they must just flat-out be sold. In any light, Trump is screwed. The fraudster finally got what he had coming, and the ruling is hitting him hard. This is just the beginning of the pain Donald J. Trump is about to experience regarding his financials and his freedom in the future.  He has so much and stands to lose most of it.

As of the date of this update, October 7, 2023, the trial for Donald J. Trump is underway. Trump claimed he would be at the trial the entire week. On the 3rd day, Trump bailed out and went back to Florida. He couldn’t take the heat. He didn’t need to be there because it was not a criminal trial.  The only thing left to decide is how much money Trump would have to give up to the State of New York.

ON a real dark note for Donald Trump, what has happened is that Trump is about to lose total control of his businesses run from New York, not just in New York. Any LLC’s or businesses he has worldwide that are controlled by LLC’s in New York most likely will have to shut down.

An updated list of properties that are affected that Trump will no longer have control over will be forthcoming.

MAGA Party equals Destruction of the Republican Party

Everyone who has ANY perception of political news these days who are well-informed knows that the Republican Party has evolved into what is now known as the MAGA Party. The original thought was that it stood for “Make America Great Again”, which is a term that is the motto now of the very far right, so-called Republican base. But if you really understand what that statement falsely admits, you can conclude that Donald Trump never understood that America has always been great. Case in point, what does ‘Again’ mean in that statement?

The slogan first showed up in the political campaign of Trump when he first ran for president in 2016 and 2017. What he conveyed to his followers is that the nation is in decline, and that he and he alone would make America great again. Now, in his latest post in his social media site called ‘Truth Social’, Trump admits that ‘MAGA’ is a cult.

Donald Trump’s supporters continually go down his rabbit hole of the MAGA cult as they continue to support his conduct during his present campaign to try and win back the White House in 2024.

But what the MAGA party truly stands for now is not for what it once stood for . Now as a whole, they are in the process of destroying their country.

MAGA extremists like Margarie Taylor Green, and Matt Gaetz are in position now to make sure that the House is not capable of passing desperately needed laws to keep the government open at the end of the month.  With complete control of the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, the MAGA leaders will use him as a scapegoat as to why the government is shut down. McCarthy did everything to concede power to these MAGA extremists, so he could become the speaker. Now he is leading these extremists to impeach President Joe Biden because the MAGA’s demanded he do so, on which they have no grounds to do. Most importantly, they are doing this under the direction of their MAGA leader, Donald J. Trump.  This extreme party has now become a threat to democracy. They intend to stomp out everything that really makes this country great, including their present president, Joe Biden. But unfortunately for Speaker McCarthy, they will use the shutdown and the problems that are owned by the MAGA party, as an excuse to fire him from his job. That makes Speaker McCarthy the most ignorant man in America, soon to be one of the most disgraced after attempting to fight so hard for these MAGAs in attempt to keep his job which even he knows he could not keep because of their demands of him.

 

In a statement by President Joe Biden, he summed up what he believes what the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ believers are. In a speech he made in Philadelphia on September 1, 2022 in Philadelphia, he stated the following…

“There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country,” Biden said. “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.”

The country is poised to put up with the beginning of the long list of court battles that Donald Trump faces for the next few years. Regardless of the facts, the MAGA followers of Donald Trump will continue to support him with their votes and their money, so they can help Trump pay all of his legal bills he now has.

First, MAGAs believe that the last election that Trump lost was stolen. They believe that COVID-19 was a bioweapon from China. They blame the riots at the capitol the work of antifa. They are now blaming Democrats in attempting to remove Trump from the campaign by using the Actual 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

In all actuality, Trump supporters should blame themselves for support such a criminal mind as Donald Trump. Nothing good can ever come out of their support for Donald Trump. They cannot make America great again or actually keep American from not being great by continuing on a path to destruction of their own party.

Can the country survive with a destroyed Republican party. I argue that it cannot. This county was built on a belief that people have a right to their beliefs and no man has the right to take rights away from others. There needs to be two healthy parties, ones that can disagree with each other, but can come to a common resolution to their differences. One thing is for sure. The Republican party can not exist in it’s true and intended form with the addition of the MAGA party. That puts democracy at stake here.

Elections matter. Will the country re-elect an honest and decent president such as Joe Biden, or will the country elect a failed president, twice impeached, 4-times indicted monster of a man, someone who will continue to tear down the country in every way possible because he will then have nothing to lose. The U.S. Constitution for once may be responsible for saving the country by eliminating Donald Trump from ever running for political office again.  I predict a jail term for Trump. It most likely will be drastic. For the felonies he is charged and all can be proven, he stands to spend the rest of his life in jail. On the other hand if re-elected, he cannot be up for re-election if he is serving his second term in office as president. If you think his accusations against everyone that he doesn’t agree with are bad now, just wait until he gains a second term.  He will attempt to pardon himself. He will acquire a MAGA person, such as Majorie Tayor Green,  to be his vice-president, just in case something happens to him, the MAGA party will continue to exist and havoc in the county will persist. Democracy and our lives are at stake in the upcoming election. There will not be a more important election than the presidential election of 2024. If Biden wins, the country will continue to thrive. If Trump wins, freedoms as we know it today will no longer exist. America will no longer be free. A second civil war will erupt.

Fallout to Republicans and Criminal Defendant Trump because of the 14th Amendment

Now that criminal defendant Trump really is disqualified to run for President under the 14th Amendment, Section 3, will the Secretaries of the States now remove Trump from their state ballots?

Lawsuits now showing up to get Trump removed from running for President in 2024..  Thank GOD, because I need him out of my life!

Trump SCREWED

More than likely, Trump will be removed from EVERY Democratically controlled ballot across the country. That means that even if Trump still runs in every Republican controlled state, he could never receive the required number of electoral votes – 270, to become President.

The question I have, will the Republican controlled states now go against the U.S. Constitution and still leave Trump on their ballots in November 2024? If you are a follower of the Constitution and believe what it stands for, then all the states will remove Trump from their ballots.

Now, all the news media on both sides of the aisle will talk about this, and I wonder how long it will take for the Republicans to realize that the longer they support criminal defendant Trump for re-election as President, the higher the possibility that they will not be able to produce a candidate that the country could follow as a Republican candidate.

Actually, the boat has already sailed. It really makes no difference what the Republicans do now. Trump is toast. The Republican Party is toast, because of their leaders who fail their constituents because of MAGA. The longer the MAGA Republicans support Trump, the more certain that Joe Biden will win re-election. The best chance they have to beat Joe Biden is to have another candidate, someone other than criminal defendant Trump as their candidate that will run against Biden.

The Republican Party is ignorant and most definitely blind. The Republican legislators in Congress that still support Trump for President, a criminal defendant that Trump is, the so-called Republican Party will not only lose the Presidency to Joe Biden but will be swept clean regarding seats in the Senate and the House, meaning that the Democrats will take COMPLETE control of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government.

Maybe, this is what it will take to get the Republicans to take their blinders off, or not follow a criminal man just because you feel it’s your only way to stay in your position. On the contrary, the members of the House and Senate that support Trump will start losing their re-elections in a historical fashion. There is a possibility the House and Senate will be highly controlled by Democrats in 2024.

Trump – Disqualified by the Fourteenth Amendment to Run for President

The 14th Amendment of The U.S. Constitution is clear.

DONALD J. TRUMP DOES NOT QUALIFY TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Here is what the Amendment says, and I quote section 3…

Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

So now is the question of why Donald J Trump can run for any office. The Fourteenth Amendment is absolute. It stands by itself, and it is clear. Never mind the four indictments facing him, the disgraced president still barrels on as the front-runner candidate for the 2024 Presidential election.

This article in the Constitution forbids Donald Trump from holding the office of the presidency again because of his conduct before, in and after of the January 6th, 2021, insurrection of the U.S. Capital. He furthermore is not qualified because he came to the aid and comfort of the rebellionists who took part in what he wanted, and that was to stop Mike Pence and Congress from certifying the Presidential election. Trump therefore now is ineligible to serve as president ever again.

So why is disgraced Trump still allowed to run? He is in violation of the 14th Amendment, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, right?  Should he not be running?  The disqualification clause operates by itself. Any prosecution that Trump has pending that are a result of the four indictments against him are of no consequence of the U.S. Constitution 14th Amendment, Section 3.

But who is to enforce this law which is clearly being violated by Donald Trump? Who made the decision that Donald Trump can run for President?

The officials that decided to put in his nomination decided that he can run. The Secretary of State in the 50 states must make that call. If any of them overturns Trump’s qualification to run, he/she will be challenged in court. This decision to disqualify Trump will now have to go up to the U.S. Supreme Court that is heavily favored as Conservative, but it is my belief that the high court will rule against Trump, and he would be removed from the ballot for the 2024 Presidential election.

The bottom line here is that Donald J. Trump, disgraced President of the United States, is in violation of the 14th Amendment, and it will be up to the Secretaries of State and the Supreme Court to make this egregious error right.

I am not making this stuff up. J. Michael Luttig and Laurence H. Tribe have confirmed this in their article published in a publication known as ‘The Atlantic’.

I am providing a link to that article in The Atlantic here…

Trump Indicted a 4th Time

Now with ninety-one felony charges hanging over his head, accused defendant Donald Trump now has a serious problem. The fourth indictment is in the State of Georgia and accuses Trump with racketeering and is named as one of eighteen criminal defendants charged with the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act). A ninety-eight-page indictment has been handed down by a grand jury in Georgia, and now defender Trump must do one of two things, to keep himself out of jail.

First, Trump must surrender himself for arraignment, which is a court hearing that will formally accuse him of the charges as outlined in the indictment pending against him, and his so-called racketeering partners. The prosecuting attorney, Fani Willis, wants to see all those charged to appear at the courthouse on the same day, which is August 25th.

Second, which will fail, will try to move his case in Georgia to a Federal Court, instead of being tried in a state court. Why? Because he believes in his own mind that if he became president again in 2024, he could pardon himself from charges from a federal court, but not from a state court.

Regardless of what he believes he can do, it is clear that a few of these upcoming court hearings will commence before the 2024 election. Trump calls this political interference, and it is his method to try and halt the hearings until after the election where he is hopeful that he will win, and then he will nullify any charges against him. He believes that this is the one way he can stay out of jail. If he could ever pull this off, he may have been right. But I don’t believe that even the Supreme Court, who is overwhelmingly Republican biased, with 3 of the members of this high court chosen by Trump himself, would allow Trump, even as president, to be able to pardon himself.

Trump has no shame. He doesn’t care that even in his mind that he caused the insurrection where people were injured and killed because of rioting, he is now running for president. It is his way to clear his name, and only Donald Trump would do it. But if he is convicted in Georgia, he could never pardon himself from the RICO charges he is accused of and will be found guilty of. Trump is staring at a jail sentence if found guilty in Florida. Most likely, Trump will spend the rest of his life in prison. But then the judge can elect to put Trump under house arrest instead. Trump has never faced accountability. He has always evaded it. But in Georgia, especially if the case is held and determined in a state court in Georgia, Trump will finally receive justice. This is my belief.

In a week, the Republicans will hold their first Republican debate. Originally, Trump claimed he would not attend, because he believes in his mind that he is so far ahead of every other contestant in the polls. This is the one thing that Trump is telling the truth about. He is leading in the polls, but now with the indictments held over his head, he must do a few things to be able to qualify for the debate.

Trump is a coward. Trump is quoted as not attending the debate because he will not support any other candidate per the rules of being to attend the debate.  But the rules for attending the debate claim that he must support the nominee.

What are the requirements that FOX News states to be able to attend the debate?

1) Candidates must poll at least 1% in three national polls or 1% in two national polls and 1% from an early state poll from two “carve out” states recognized by the committee.

2) Candidates must also have a minimum of 40,000 unique donors’ part of their presidential campaign committee – with at least two hundred unique donors per state – AND SIGN A PLEDGE AGREEING TO SUPPORT THE EVENTUAL PARTY NOMINEE.

Trump will support no one. He in his mind could only support himself. No other candidate matters, except the person he chooses as his running mate for Vice-President, if he becomes the Republican nominee for president. He believes he is better than any of his political candidates. He may just show up, so he could denigrate other candidates. Then again, he may not show up so he could put on a show of his own, during the same time as the debate on Fox.

It is very unlikely that Donald Trump will be able to get all or any of the felony charges removed from any of his court cases. Trump stands to spend the rest of his life in a jail cell.

 

 

Trumps Defense is NO Defense

As mentioned in the last post, I have stated that Trump has no defense for what he has done to democracy. Since that last posting, Trump has been criminally indicted (accused) for the 3rd time, as Jack Smith, the prosecuting attorney appointed by the Justice Department, accused Trump of more crimes, specifically centered around the January 6th Insurrection at the Capitol. The tally is now up to 78 criminal charges.  Of course, defendant Trump is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. In this latest formal accusation, defendant Trump will find out that he finally met his match. Regardless, the defendant will put on a defense, or at least his attorneys will. Trump himself will attempt to stay out of court for every crime he is charged with, because he is a coward. He will use every stall tactic to delay proceedings and will not testify unless he is finally compelled to, and to be honest here, the defendant doesn’t have a chance in hell unless he testifies. When he does, Trump will incriminate himself. If he pleads the fifth, that will work against him. As if this wasn’t enough, Trump will be indicted a 4th time in Georgia. Details on that will be displayed here at a later date.

In prior indictments, there was the Stormy Daniels/Hush Money Case, the Mara Largo Documents Case in the southern district of Florida Federal Court, and now in Washington D.C.’s district court.

Another upcoming indictment, Trumps fourth, will be coming from the State court in Georgia, where Trump will be accused of trying to steal the election in that state.

Trump faces other lawsuits, as the State of New York is attempting to sue defendant Trump of 250 million dollars and bar Trump from ever doing business in New York state again.

But what will Trump claim as his defense? The following defenses are what defendant Trump will use in a court of law, but in each case, just won’t fly in court. Since I consider Trump out of character as a previous president, and because he belittles and defames everyone who is not on his side, I will never use the word President with the word Trump every again. He will be called ‘Defendant Trump’ instead.  He will lose his case, and he will be convicted of felonies in a court of law and faces the rest of his life in prison. So, Trump has nothing to lose here. In every indictment, Trump has claimed he is ‘Not Guilty’, so it will be up to the prosecuting attorney’s job to prove guilt beyond any doubt. But Trump knows, and his attorneys know, that Jack Smith is ready for court. It’s showtime for Jack Smith. It’s stall time for defendant Trump.

Defendant Trump’s defenses call all be debunked. I will list them here and tell you why he will be convicted.

His first defense will be to try to delay all these cases. He doesn’t want to go to trial. Instead, the defendant wants to try his case in the court of public opinion. He feels he has the right to make false statements, accusations, lies and mischaracterizations so that the public thinks he is innocent. The government will test their evidence in court, and that’s what the dependent doesn’t want to happen. Trump wants to get elected and then pardon himself and stop investigations. But Trump will be in court before the election, and the prosecution has the sole burden of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt.  Hearsay is not allowed. The defense doesn’t have to do anything, but his attorneys will have a chance to poke holes in the government’s case if they want to. If they poke any holes in the prosecutor’s case, Trump will be found innocent because if there is any doubt, the defendant cannot be charged. If it is proven by the defense that what the government is accusing Trump of in ANY instance, the jurors must find Trump innocent.

His second defense will be the venue of the court proceedings. He will argue that he cannot get a fair trial in Washington, D.C. because it is overwhelmingly Democratic and most of the voters there did not vote for him in the last election. So, he already is arguing that the court setting needs to be in another state. Already stated by his attorney, Trump wants the venue moved to West Virginia, one of the most Republican leading states in the nation. Unfortunately, the venue of the court proceedings is always located in the state where the offense was committed. So, Trumps argument will not fly.

He will next try to get the judge off the case. In another stall tactic, Trump will claim that Judge Tanya Chutkan has already sentenced many of the January 6th defendants harshly. He will claim that she should recuse herself. But the defendant doesn’t know this. It is up to that judge to recuse herself, if it is proven that she meets the standard of U.S. code section 455a for recusal, or if the judges’ impartiality can be questioned, she must step down.  But she will not have to step away from this case because her record as a judge is impeccable.

Trump will try to re-litigate the 7 states where he said that he won the election, the False Elector States. He claimed there was fraud and dead people voting, and he went to court and re-litigated over sixty times, stating that the elections in those states should not count in those states. Trumps defense will have to prove that the state electors were legitimate. Jack Smith will have to prove in each state that the pressure campaign was illegal.  Trump will try and delay the cases again, but he will not be successful. The evidence finally will show that Trump tried to get people to commit fraud for him.

Trump will claim that he had a first amendment right of free speech to say things. He called Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger of Georgia and wanted him to find 11,370 votes. He told Mike Pence that he shouldn’t certify the electors results and that he should let the states make the decision to certify. The first amendment’s right to free speech is not absolute. There are things you just can’t say. But it will allow you to lie, in which Trump has lied thousands of times, before, during and after he was in office. But you cannot lie and defame someone, like he did in the E. Jene Carroll, that he never had sex with her, and found guilty in court. He called her names. You can’t lie if it causes fraud. There are limits to free speech. Trump had the right to challenge the election with his words, but he can’t use his words to set in motion a series of events to cause violence in the capital and then try to steal an election.

Trump will claim he got bad advice of counsel in the fake elector scheme. It is a defense that he will use. What it means is if you seek advice from counsel, and they tell you what to do, and you follow that advice in good faith and as a result you inadvertently commit a crime. You cannot be prosecuted for that crime when you get bad advice from counsel. Trump tried to take advantage of this, as he hired lawyers that would go along with his scheme to give him bad advice. The crime fraud exemption takes place here as Trump had lawyers to go along with his scheme, I.E. John Eastman, who is the so-called mastermind behind the insurrection of January 6. All these facts will be proven in court.

The last thing Trump will try to do is preclude his vice-president Mike Pence from testifying because of executive privilege and Pence previously did not want to testify because of this privilege, and there is a speech and debate clause that protects him. The Executive privilege belongs to the current holder of the Executive office, which is President Joe Biden, not defender Trump and presently, Mike Pence in not a holder of an Executive office. So, this will not fly. Mike Pence will have to testify unless he pleads the fifth.

Defendant Trump really has his hands tied trying to defend himself in all these cases, but the Insurrection case most likely will land him behind bars, and he will never be qualified to run from public office ever again. He stands to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

 

Trump has NO Defense – HIS GOOSE IS COOKED!

TRUMPS DEFENSE…

Would you believe that Donald Trump in his crazy, sick mind has the idea that he can declassify any documents that he wants and not return any documents that he wants once he left the presidency?

REALLY?!??????

In August 2022, Trump claims there was a standing order to declassify, according to the statement immediately below by a spokesperson…

“As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time. American presidents are no different. President Trump, in order to prepare the work the next day, often took documents, including classified documents, to the residence. He had a standing order, that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them. The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely on the President of the United States. The idea that some paper pushing bureaucrat with classification authority, delegated by the President, needs to prove that the declassification is absurd.”

That statement made by Trump’s spokesperson is wrong. Trump knows better. Proof from the Bedminister recordings is part of an indictment that Trump admitted to on tape that there was no such order. In August 2022, Donald Trump in audio tapes states that these documents that he’s showing, these Iranian War documents, these battle maps that I’m unfurling in front of you, that all documents are classified. Then Trump states that he wished they were unclassified. That is on a audio tape. His goose is cooked.

1st, there is testimony established by Jack Smith, the prosecuting attorney, that there was no such order. The Federal government states that there is no written copy or any copy of a standing order.  Donald Trump cannot automatically make classified documents unclassified. THERE IS A PROCESS. Trump’s process does not exist. When a jury hears the evidence, Trump is going to be convicted.

In a ‘TURNING POINT ACTION’ conference speech, TRUMP SAYS…

“They indicted me. Think of it. You don’t have to be a lawyer to understand those words. It is as simple as it gets. They indicted me! In other words, whatever documents a president decides to take with him, he has the absolute and unquestioned right to do so.  This is a law that was passed and signed. And that’s the law, and that’s the way it is, and it couldn’t be more clear”.

Oh my God!. What an ass. The statement he made is FALSE, and it will not work in a court of law. If he says it exists, then he will have to prove the facts. Those words are written nowhere in any government document. Donald Trump will be proven a liar. It will not work as a legal defense.

At another fund-raiser, TRUMP SAYS on tape and video…

“Whatever documents a president decides to take with him, he has the absolute right to take them. He has the absolute right to keep them, or he can give them back to NARA if he wants to. He would talk to them as we were doing, and he can do that if he wants. That’s the law, and it couldn’t be more clear.”

So, this is proof that now there is a body of evidence, witness statements, tape recordings and video recordings, documents, emails and texts, cooperating witnesses like Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani and others, including the fake electors that have now been compiled that can completely blow a hole in this line of defense. Trump’s goose is cooked!

More Indictments are coming. If he really had the chance to become president again, he would have the ability to avoid all the court proceedings he’s about to be part of right in the middle of the election season in 2024. Instead of campaigning and convincing people that they need to elect him in November 2024, he will be facing a series of judges in State and Federal Courts trying to save his own hide and stay out of jail. But he knows, and I know, and you know, that he will finally become accountable. Unless Trump wins the Presidential election in 2024, HE IS GOING TO JAIL. AND HE KNOWS THAT TOO!. The clock is ticking. He can attempt to delay trials, but he will be in court, facing justice.

In an upcoming indictment, Trump will have to face Jack Smith, and one of the accounts might be that he caused an insurrection. If convicted of that crime, Trump will be forever barred from running for President of the United States ever again!

The following comment is from Steve Schmidt’s Podcast that can be found at thewarning.supercast.com

“The country is in trouble because the American people have allowed so many low men and women into positions of great power. Donald Trump may have tried to overthrow the government, but he did not get away with it. And soon, the people of the United States will be represented in a court of law against a former president, to whom they gave the greatest honor that the American people can bestow on any one of us. We gave him the Presidency of the United States, and what Donald Trump had returned is the most disgraceful four years in American History. And during those years, he didn’t just become a criminal, he became a SEDITIONIST.”

Trump is Indicted in the Stormy Daniels Hush Money Case

The decisions of Donald J. Trump did not go good for him on March 30, 2023, when it was learned that the disgraced ex-President has now been indicted by a Grand Jury in New York. He is the first President in U.S. history to ever be indicted and now must face what he may want to turn into a spectacle for political reasons and to raise more money. He will raise the money from his followers, and he will use the money for re-election purposes. So in Trumps sick mind, most likely he welcomes this indictment.  His attorneys have stated that President Trump will turn himself into the authorities on New York on Tuesday, April 4th, 2023. The easiest shot any law maker had was to convict him when he was impeached twice, but the U.S. Senate twice refused to vote favorably to convict. In the case of presidential impeachment trials, the chief justice of the United States presides. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official upon conviction is removal from office.

Trump is facing the first of four criminal investigations for his actions, prior, during and most likely after his service to the country as the 45th President of the United States. Charges include at least 30 document fraud charges.

Even with that said, Donald Trump can continue to run for President again. He can run again while being indicted or even when convicted. If convicted of a misdemeanor which is likely the sure thing he can be prosecuted of, alone could not stop him from running. Also, if it is decided by a jury court that he committed a felony, he can be sentenced to prison or home confinement, which certainly would not allow him to continue to run for office and if incarcerated, he surely couldn’t act as the President of the United States. He most likely would not be allowed on social media, and for all intents and purposes not be allowed to continue posting on his social media outlets. These decisions would be the sole direction of the presiding Judge in Trumps court case.

Even in better times for Trump, especially when he became president, he did not win with the popular vote, but he did win the electoral college vote. Chances this time around he will not win either the vote count or electoral college vote, as more pending charges will come his way. Presently, there are very limited requirements when running for Presidential election, which are listed below:

  • The candidate contesting for the position must be a natural-born citizen of the United States of America.
  • The candidate must be 35 years or older.
  • The candidate should be a US resident for 14 years.

The only additional exception is that the American Constitution prohibits a tenure of longer than 2 terms of 4 years each. In Donald Trump’s case, he has only served for 1 full term as President, so he qualifies to run again. But what makes it unlikely that he would succeed to become President after being convicted of a felony would be purely political. The fallout from his own party would be devastating to him. If he were to be re-elected, all current and future charges against him would be put on hold, as a sitting President of the United States cannot be convicted of crimes while in office.

Besides all of the very real reasons why Trump was indicted now in March of 2023 is because the Statute of Limitations is running out for crimes that must be proved he committed in the past.
