ben8884 Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM What might they be arresting him for? In terms of small potatoes, I feel the same way, but then I remember that they got Capone on tax evasion and he disappeared. Now, Trump will never disappear but if there is a conviction he can't run anymore 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daveb Posted Sunday at 05:01 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:01 AM It might not be so bad if he runs; especially if it means he screws things up for the other Florida man. (but in the interests of justice and the "law and order" Republicans say they are for, he should have to answer for his crimes) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is certainly a possibility. He may also be acquitted, he may be found guilty and sent to jail. Heck, for all I know, he wont even be arrested on Tuesday and hes just lying to get attention. But in terms of him being arrested for small potatoes and, my point was, while I would like to see Trump go down for espionage or something big, I am happy to see him go down for anything. Also, that even if he can't run, he wont go away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lilibulero Posted Sunday at 03:49 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:49 PM Do you think by announcing he's going to be arrested on Tuesday, he's hoping to recreate that debacle in the Capitol? Just a musing from across the pond. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a musing from across the pond. I do think he is hoping to make things difficult at minimum. Seems like a petty mob boss sort of thing to do, in keeping with his character and things has has said and done in the past. But even if it's just bloviation, I think the DA's office would be wise to take precautions just in case. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AspieAlly613 Posted Sunday at 06:15 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:15 PM In my mind, I'm imagining a situation where numerous MAGA protesters shouting "Lock you up," but I don't think that will actually happen. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a musing from across the pond. I mean, he's explicitly asking for protests like he did on 1/6. He hasn't (yet, as far as I know) named a specific time, place and institution to protest and obstruct and reverse a specific proceeding like he did on 1/6. I wonder if some generic NYC courthouse would be as prepared to repel a horde as the federal Capitol building was. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skycaptain Posted Monday at 08:27 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:27 PM Well, the potential for his arrest, indictment etc is causing a massive schism amongst the more right-leaning in American politics. There are those who believe he can ride through this, stand for president,and win an election. There are those who believe that this is impossible. Unfortunately this is splitting the party in two, so we now have two factions Spoiler The Republicans And the Republican'ts 😋😋 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie415 Posted Tuesday at 06:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:24 PM Quote "If media leaks are correct, this could be the last time I write to you before a possible indictment comes down," a Trump campaign fundraising email sent Monday claimed. Lol, you're the turkey who leaked that! Or fabricated it. We'll see which. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am guessing fabrication at the moment EDIT so it was all fabrication. Now he may or not be guilty of breaking the Espionage Act. How has it come to this? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
