Trump's Troubles

Award will definitely go up as it was designed to keep him from defaming her in the future 90M is not enough. He probably thought with his lizard like brain that since he got a bond without putting up too much money he was in the clear.

I suspect she’ll object to the bond. If he gets another it will cost more but hopefully he doesn’t and she goes after 40 Wall Street or Trump tower, though net of his debt neither would individually support the judgement.

 

But don’t think it is illegal per se for someone to provide security for another in a civil case. It might be a breach of a duty owed to the shareholders, but Carroll has no standing there. It might ultimately be a breach of national security or even an illegal structured bribe for favor if Trump wins the presidency, but again, Carroll has no standing to complain there and those problems rest with the prosecutor’s office.

 

Witness #5 in the Document Case is speaking out. Completely shreds any argument that Trump was cooperating in returning the documents. The same day Trump's attorney's were talking to the Feds, #5 and Naruta loaded up 10-15 boxes on a plan in WPB on its way to Bedminster, according to the flight logs. #5, whose real name is Butler, has hired his own lawyer, unlike others, who have Trump paid lawyers, and has quit his job, and lost several friends over telling the truth.

 

Have you seen if those boxes were ever recovered? From what I've seen, I believe the DOJ only recovered boxes from MAL, but I also don't think I've seen any DOJ filings indicating that documents are still missing.

 

Curious what the argument in defense of Trump is for this:

At one point in his interviews, Butler says he told investigators that Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt repeated classified submarine secrets following a conversation with Trump in spring 2021.

Pratt met with Trump and heard from the former president about US and Russian submarines at their meeting, then relayed that information to his chief of staff while in the backseat of Butler’s car. Butler later told investigators he was shocked that Trump would share such information with a foreign citizen who paid excessive sums for access to Mar-a-Lago.

 

They just don’t care. Next time he goes to Helsinki to bend the knee to Putin, he’ll probably be made to hand a box of documents marked top secret.

There is nothing he can do that would cause them not to support him. These are sick people as I’m reminded of here frequently.

 

Those briefings are a common misconception.

 

I don’t think any materials were recovered at Bedminister, primarily because these were the juicy secrets (like the Iran invasion plans and names of spies and foreign assets) and were sold off quickly, Some I assume remain buried with Ivanka.

Dig her up!

 

This. Should have been dug up long ago.


On a separate note, does anyone else feel that blending all these Trump criminal conspiracies into one single thread totally minimizes his criminality? I get that the board would just look like a Trump criminality forum, but this doesn't seem accurate either. Is there a middle ground?

 

Wrapping my head around the idea that due to delays, none of these trials will be completed before the election. So if he gets elected, he will never be tried
The writing is on the wall.

 

His own Vice President doesn't think he should be President

 

He's a RINO they want to string up.

 

That's wild. I can't imagine thats ever happened before

 

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you a little here. What is unimaginable is that we would have had a president try to overthrow our government and call for the hanging of his vice-president to interfere with a peaceful transition of power. That the targeted vice-president would now refuse to endorse the anti-democracy president who tried to coerce him to break the law is imaginable.

 

He's a single issue voter: One of the candidates tried to have him killed on 1/6 and one didn't.
