Trump – The Verdict Is In

[Hymie]

My bet is guilty

[Peter Pedant]

Christ does anyone know

does the White House burn?

[Hymie]

Watching CNN now......

[Hymie]

There are 34 charges to go through, so it may take some time to formally announce the verdict(s).

[sandyRoe]

I'd reluctantly bet on a hung jury.  It only takes one Republican to block justice.

Guilty on all 34 charges

[Hymie]

Trump - guilty on all 34 charges.

[tomus42]

Guilty.

[sandyRoe]

Would it be ungentlemanly to start chanting: 'Lock him up!'?

[tomus42]

The jury didn't have to think too long about it.

[tomus42]

The civilised world breathes a massive sigh of relief. For now...

[Hymie]

Given the gravity of these crimes, and Trump expressing his contempt for the legal process and attacking the judge immediately after the trial – come sentencing, the judge will have no option but to impose a prison sentence (IMHO).

[Mozz71]

He can still serve from chokey. And his idiot army will probably still vote for him.

[THECORBYLOON]

It's odd that he could serve as President in gaol but couldn't vote for himself.

Is the Republican Party really going to put a convicted felon on the Presidential ticket? It would appear so ... and, if that's the case, shame on them. Especially given what the convictions were for ...

[THECORBYLOON]

Ah, he's not just "innocent" he's, " very  innocent"... 

[bednobs]

the more he suffers the more popular he gets!

[TwoShortPlanks]

So what happens now? Jail? Massive fines? 

 

[calmck]

As per the NY Times if he is jailed he has to have Secret Service protection as he is an ex president. The possibility of opening a closed section of a prison has supposedly been discussed! 

[Ellipsis]

That's fine, but he should have been an independent, like a Ross Perot-type person - especially now. The "Grand Old Party" should not put a convicted felon on their ticket. Trump will be dead within around 20 years, but a decision for the GOP to allow him to run as their candidate will be a problem for them forever more.
