Trump indictment, even conviction, wont bar him from Presidency
b'I hate to rain on the parade, but Trump\\u2019s indictment \\u2014 even felony conviction \\u2014 will not bar Trump from holding office. While I\\u2019ve reported on Trump as a one-man crime wave, the cold truth is, if convicted, it will be his first offense for low-level felony \\u2014\\xa0so forget jail time.\\nOther problems with New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg\'s case...\\nThe prosecutor has to prove that Trump INTENDED to hush up his affair to save his election \\u2014 as opposed to saving him from the Wrath of Melania.\\nThis is nearly identical to the case of ex-Sen. John Edwards [D-NC] who paid off the girlfriend he got pregnant during his run for President and for Vice-President (as John Kerry\\u2019s running mate). The jury didn\\u2019t buy the line that hush money was a hidden campaign contribution. The case was then dropped.\\nAnd let\\u2019s not sugar-coat the problems for prosecutors in Manhattan. Their two key witnesses are creeps: Michael Cohen, a convicted felon knuckle-breaker for Trump, and Stormy Daniels, a woman who blackmailed Trump into paying hush money. (On the other hand, Cohen and Daniels come off as sincere and contrite about their affairs with The Donald.)\\nA similar problem arises with the case in Georgia, which will soon go to a new grand jury. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will have to PROVE that Trump KNEW he\\u2019d lost the election and KNEW that he was committing a crime by promoting a bogus slate of Electors to the Electoral College.\\nWhen Trump said to the Sec. of State of Georgia, "find 11,780 votes," it was preceded by Trump\\u2019s crazy-town claims about illegal voters. Trump\\u2019s lawyers will argue, in the UNLIKELY case he\\u2019s indicted, that Agent Orange was relying on a legal memo by professor of law John Eastman. They\\u2019ll also claim that Trump truly believed the goofy BS about stuffed ballot boxes and illegal voters from grifter groups like True the Vote.\\nSorry to give you the bad news about the prosecutions. But that\\u2019s why they call it LAW school and not JUSTICE school.'
