PBP: P01135809 Trump Espionage, Coup, Conspiracy, Racketeering, Fraud & Obstruction Trial Thread

Ultimately, at the end of the day, who's responsible?

If she can't answer that, then she's dumber than we all thought, OR she's lying/lawyering about this. It doesn't make her look better, this makes her look worse, TBH.

 

Nope.

I would expect no different if Willis were male. I would still think him mentally weak if he were sweet-talked/honey-potted into getting romantically involved with someone under their purview.

You're reaching, and you're wrong.

I find this to be unlikely.

Are we to believe that none of the jurors will use the internet, nor have any contact with friends/family/neighbors/fellow parishioners/coworkers that use the internet? Or watch the news? Or read a newspaper?

They're GONNA find out, and it's moronic to believe that they won't.

By falling all over yourself to try to inject allegations of "sexism" into the discussion, where none exist.

If Willis were male, we should expect no different.

 

How it makes her look is independent of the charges she filed. Again, we don't know what the policies are in Georgia with regards to Special Investigators. If there are no policies against it, then we're just talking optics here and optics shouldn't have any bearing on the charges and you're just murdering bytes for no reason.

 

You're reaching.

It is still a jury trial, correct? What the optics are matter to people who are working for free, and whose lives may be endangered by red hat idiots.


And ultimately, who does the responsibility for this case lie upon?

 

So the internet, TV, and other sources of information will be completely sealed off from the entirety of the jury pool?

Cool. How, exactly, will they pull off such a trick?

Because I really doubt that each and every one of the potential jurors, and each and every one of the alternates will completely and totally isolate themselves from TV/the internet/printed media/radio.

 

Part of jury selection will be whether a juror has heard anything about this trial and if what they have heard would prevent them from being impartial. This would fall under those questions. Any juror that answers yes would be removed from the jury pool. I would expect the jury pool for this trial to be quite large.

 

Expecting jurors to tell the truth about this is about as secure as expecting someone to not duplicate a key, simply because it was stamped "do not duplicate."

That is pure fantasy to expect otherwise.


Hell, a motivated red hat idiot could simply state that they heard nothing, just to be selected and influence the outcome. Thousands of those idiots still believe the election was stolen, and that no one did anything wrong on 1/6/21.

 

That is the entire basis of the jury system in the US. So… Again… Keep the person separate from the charges.

There are also safeguards against the scenario you’re creating. For one, any juror that lies during jury selection is committing perjury and given the profile if this case…..

 

I don’t think failing to re-imburse Wade for the trips in itself is illegal. He wouldn’t have been the first guy to pay the way for the trips with their affair partner.

I think the illegality would come from Willis hiring Wade so he could pay the way..

 

Which is why this entire episode is so incredibly ********ing stupid. Childishly so.

 

Oh man. Did you have to keep his identifiers in there? You just summoned him back.

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York appellate court on Wednesday to halt collection of the former president’s $454m civil fraud judgment while he appeals. Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that he is prepared to post a $100m appeal bond.

Narrator: because that’s all he can come up with. Perhaps he’s going to learn that fancy Latin word or “I’m broke as ******** and need relief from the bond requirement”

 

Which brings us back to the issue Philly brought up. Just because Trump is a billionaire (allegedly), it doesn't mean he has $500 million in liquid assets that is necessary to appeal his case. Trump's wealth (alleged) is tied up in property and you can't sell commercial property in 30 days.

 

Well…you could use that property as collateral for the person posting the bond. But that person would have to trust that your valuations are accurate, as are your statements regarding liabilities against those assets. That’s a hard sell for trump given that was the very nature of the trial he just lost

So…he ain’t stopping this.
