he pleaded not guilty. and his lawyer said this is "an attack on america".

'cause he had boxes of papers he wasn't supposed to have, that this is an attack on america? yeah, okay ๐Ÿ™„

This is gonna be wild... the feds hardly ever lose.

With that, I'm very curious to see the fallout should he be convicted.

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

i'm a little worried some of his cultists may find their way onto the jury and block a conviction

[-] Hellebert@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Oh man they're probably all having wet dreams over being "the hero that saves America" or something right now.

[-] Spitfire@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

All it takes is one. Theyโ€™ll refuse to consider anything other than not guilty.

[-] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

the rest of the jury can ask the judge to remove one who is not deliberating in good faith

[-] reverendsteveii@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

they have him on tape showing people documents that he says are classified and that he also knows that he could have declassified them while in office but that he hasn't.

[-] cptnflinty@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah he's so fucked. Caught red handed worse than Nixon.

[-] hellothisisdog@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

i am not excited to see the fallout, especially right before i am about to move out of a red state ๐Ÿ™ƒ

[-] squid010@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah! I chose my words carefully. I'm curious, not necessarily excited!

I'm unfortunately stuck in a red state, so I feel you there.

[-] Spitfire@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I work with many people who are so upset over this, calling it injustice and how horrible that we choose to prosecute Trump when we should instead be jailing Hillary, Harris, and Biden.

I bite my tongue and donโ€™t say anything but itโ€™s so frustrating.

[-] awake01@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

As far as Hillary goes I am not sure why Trump's DoJ didn't hand down an indictment if it had evidence that she ultimately committed a crime? I guess the same is true for Hunter.

[-] hellothisisdog@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

oh yeah! thank you for saying that :) trump had the doj under his control and still didn't have enough evidence to indict her. i would think that would shut up the "jail hillary and joe" crowd, but i guess they have super short term memory

[-] hellothisisdog@yiffit.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

same here. i'm all for treating everyone as equal, but i'm pretty sure nothing new came up after hillary was already investigated and iirc biden was slapped on the wrist for not returning some documents. but hey, you know, one box is the same as rooms full of boxes, apparently

[-] Spitfire@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

The difference seems to me, as far as I know (please correct me if I have missed something) is that Biden and related parties cooperated with getting the documents returned while Trump hid and tried to erase evidence that he had them. And I believe that some have yet to be found, potentially sold off.

glad to help.

[-] MothBookkeeper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

He's just a walking blizzard of dishonesty.

[-] bouncing@partizle.com 1 points 2 years ago

his lawyer said this is โ€œan attack on americaโ€.

I'm wondering if the lawyers who quit did so because they were too embarrassed to say shit like that in court, despite a certain client's demands.

[-] hellothisisdog@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

the lawyers that quit are lawyers who don't want to perjure themselves, probably ๐Ÿ™ƒ
