You’re wrong. Anything can happen with the federal cases but this New York one will stick. The law they are using was created specifically for people like Trump that they can’t take down criminally.
I hope you're right but the last 6 years have eliminated 100% of confidence that you will be.
Your cynicism is totally understandable, but all the lawyers I've listened to on this one say he's fucked. It's just that Justice moves too slowly for the average person, so it feels like nothing is being done about his lawlessness.
Dude he's about to be elected perpetual supreme grand emperor so he can just cancel democracy.
Cross all the t's and dot all the i's but penalise him already.
I feel you. Justice moves slowly, especially for people who have immense privilege. I want him behind bars or hidden away somewhere, never to be seen again. We're too close to fascism to be giving people like him the benefit of the doubt.
Hey, he actually paid E Jean Carroll her proceeds from the lawsuit (this was part of the transactions listed here).
So he was actually out a little under $6M from a legal loss, and actually paid.
Anyway, toss that toothpick on the scales opposite the sequoiah of judicial indifference.
