The Donald J. Orangeman Possible Future Legal Trouble Thread

No, obstruction of justice gets you 3-4 years. Campaign finance violations can end up with prison time too. Trump at a minimum did what Michael Cohen did, and that guy got like 2-3 years

No, but they do arrest them. When it becomes far too obvious they cant hide their crimes, they have them hang themselves in their closely watched cell with no shits given afterwards. This is how the progressive western world deals with things. Taiwan uses typhoons and rivers. Sometimes bridges and rivers. to each their own…

I’m not sure I agree with this. I think with a 2016 loss he was gonna start up some version of Trump TV, and clearly he still has a following. This isn’t him trying to market his failed business products, he would be marketing himself.

And aside from being a POS president and human being, he’s quite entertaining and funny. He wouldn’t have won without his success on The Apprentice, so I kinda think he’d have a substantial following, taking over as a Alex Jones type, hocking conspiracy theories next to products.

As a politician he may have ruined his brand, and will do so more in the coming months, but if he wants to make money doing TV stuff, I think it will be easy for him.

Assuming he’s free and clear from the law.

Seems super normal. :sweat_smile:

According to one former White House official, Trump has also asked about pardons for his family, which makes sense given that they work together at the Trump Organization and possibly engaged in various forms of tax fraud together, among other things. Perhaps most incredibly, Trump reportedly “even asked if he could issue pardons preemptively for things people could be charged with in the future,” said the former official. Y’know, like a get-out-of-jail-free card for life just in case you decide to commit a crime at any point in the future.

Issue a double secret pardon.

sometimes the guy shot himself twice in the back of the head.

‘We, Donald J Trump, pardon ourselves for committing any murder or other crime in the future.’

Signed,

Donald J. Trump, Asshole in Chief.

An ex-Manhattan prosecutor has warned that “subpoenas and seizures” await President Donald Trump following his presidency

Daniel R Alonso, who acted as Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s top deputy from 2010 to 2014 and is now in private practice, made the projection to The New York Times.

“There are subpoenas and seizures and documents all over the place, as well as constant meetings with lawyers,” Mr Alonso said, adding, “It would certainly not be pleasant for him.”

I agree there will be something. The man has no morals (and a good handful of other character flaws), but he’s not stupid. Trump knows he has lost. He’s known it all along. But he has something up his sleeve. Something like what this article is talking about. I guess we’ll find out very soon.

Washington (CNN)New York authorities investigating the Trump Organization have expanded their inquiries to include tax write-offs involving millions of dollars in consulting fees, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Investigators with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is conducting a broad criminal investigation, and the New York attorney general’s office, which has a civil inquiry under way, have subpoenaed the Trump Organization seeking records relating to the consulting fees.

The subpoenas were in response to a New York Times investigation into President Donald Trump’s tax returns that first disclosed that he took $26 million in write-offs that came from fees he paid to consultants, including an apparent $747,000 fee that the Times said matched a payment disclosed by Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump.

He’s signing EO’s at full speed.

He could sign EO’s regardless of whether he plays this game of causing as much chaos as possible. No. He’s causing all this chaos to do some fundraising for his debts, and possibly also to start a new TV gig when all of this is over. For both, he needs his base to think the election was stolen from him.

You need to be in power to do it, hasn’t happened for the Dems the last 8 years?

Redistricting occurs every ten years after the census and the Republicans are still benefiting from REDMAP strategy of 2010 where computer modeling was used to basically make it impossible for a democrat to win. This why 2020 was so important.

Let’s be real. Democrats do not gerrymander on any level compared to Republicans. This is IMO the only reason the party survives since they’ll get clobbered by the popular vote. Ya know the will of the people. Demographics are not in the GOPs favor.

The way districts are ‘Gerrymandered’ is just insane.

Meanwhile Madam didn’t even lose her security clearance when emails containing classified information were discovered on her home computer. Emails she had deleted as federal investigators closed in on her.

I think they should investigate 2016 ballots looking for fraud by the Trump team.

Reading between the lines, it seems like the sweat is about to escalate in Drumpf Tower.
