DONALD TRUMP IS DROWNING IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND LEGALLY SCREWED



For much of his adult life, Donald Trump was known for going after his enemies with frivolous lawsuits, so much so that by the time he ran for president in 2016, he and his businesses had been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions.

According to a 2016 report, Trump had no qualms about responding to “even small disputes with overwhelming legal force” and didn’t “hesitate to deploy his wealth and legal firepower against adversaries with limited resources,” sometimes refusing “to pay real estate brokers, lawyers, and other vendors.” In other words, he was a consummate bully who used his money and power to screw over little people, and never worried about the tables being turned, as he would simply countersue, like his family business did in the 1970s when the Justice Department accused it of discriminatory housing practices.

But as the old saying goes, “karma is a bitch and she relishes the idea of a litigious a-hole living out his last days in prison."

On top of the well-publicized investigations into Trump out of New York—one from Attorney General Letitia James and the other from Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.—the ex-president is facing no fewer than THREE PROBES concerning his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Trumps jet is grounded with over half a million in repairs needed to be done. Fuck trump, he is a vile individual.

 

[Secretive_Victoria]

Trump's blatant criminality, his inability to follow legal advice and his documented history of not paying his lawyers means that most of the lawyers in this country refuse to work for him.

Now, with only the worst of the worst willing to work for Trump, it's going to be a real shit-show when Trump gets dragged into court.

Trump is facing brand new lawsuits that could bankrupt the family business -- here's why


"And this lawsuit, this same lawsuit is available to at least about 140 Capitol Police officers who were injured that day," O'Donnell noted. "They could file similar lawsuits, similar claims, some of them would be assigned different dollar values by juries if they get to juries. You could have a bankrupting amount of these kinds of lawsuits being filed by just Capitol Police officers alone."

"Right," Tribe replied. "Unless some of the Capitol Police officers happen to be citizens and residents of Florida, which I very much doubt. But all of the others could file suits just like this."

"And they all seek not only compensation, though they don't glamorize it, but compensation for the harm, plus punitive damages to punish the president for what he did," he continued. "And to deter future presidents. So these are very standard lawsuits and I can imagine that the emotional as well as legal appeal of these lawsuits to a garden variety jury will be very large. So when you combine the lawsuits that are also strong brought by members of Congress with these suits, it's hard to see how the president will not be held accountable."

Trump isn't gonna spend a second in jail. Don't matter if he deserves to or not, it just ain't happening.

Pending Criminal and Civil Cases Against Donald Trump

On both the criminal and civil litigation fronts, former President Donald Trump faces a bevy of lawsuits and investigations, with more cases likely to follow. Some are civil suits stemming from his pre-presidential business dealings. Others are defamation claims from women he allegedly assaulted. More still are criminal probes and civil actions that scrutinize his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The Chart below tracks all these cases. It will be continually updated as major legal developments occur.

These cases bear on two pressing questions. First, will Trump maintain his long streak of eluding legal liability in the face of so many lawsuits? Second, if Trump is held to account for illegal conduct, what impact will such a development have on his—and his family’s—political and business fortunes?

Criminal charges—one would think—would be among the most damaging outcomes. After all, a criminal prosecution of a former president would be a singular event in American history. No former president has ever been indicted, much less convicted. Trump lost any immunity from indictment that he may have possessed as president the moment he left office on Jan. 20. To be sure, most of the criminal probes detailed below are in their infancy, so the odds of an actual conviction at this time remain improbable. Even so, the mere stigma of criminal charges against the former president could reshape the American political landscape and the historical understanding of Trump’s behavior.

The civil cases could certainly do their fair share of damage as well, directly or indirectly. If Trump falters in one of his business-related suits, his companies may be subject to massive penalties, or worse. Even apart from such sanctions, his empire is reportedly struggling under looming debt obligations and reduced revenues, a slump which could worsen if his reputation continues to deteriorate.

Who said Lavrenty Beria is dead?

In the 1920s a Chicago lawyer could have run for DA on a nail-Capone platform -- a dangerous choice, but perfectly legitimate and not at all Beriesque.

Hello Allison. The most relevant quote, for me, is the following:
intelligent woman with a huge book collection

I am an academic and I suspect we are fairly close politically, except that I am north of the northern border of the US so the issues are different and thank goodness there s no such albatross hanging around our necks. However the fact that this topic is on Lit does not distract me from the personally deeper issues aroud sexuality and the erotic, and that is the reason I'm getting in touch. I'm hoping you might be interested!

Thanks to Allison, Peck, and Specula for bumping this thread and reminding how poorly that headline had aged.

It's from this year. It has not aged poorly or well.

March 20, 2021. Over four months ago. Investigations have been going on for years. President Trump has not been charged with any crimes by any law enforcement agencies. Thanks for bumping the headline to remind everyone.

Investigations of John Gotti by the FBI began in the late 1970's or early 1980's. They didn't arrest Gotti until December of 1990.

And Gotti never had the ability to ignore subpoenas and obstruct federal investigations like Trump did when Trump was in the White House.

 

[Rightguide]

The eventual Deep State goal for Donald Trump is to either destroy him financially, or kill him outright. If they do kill him outright or decide to pursue a transparent prosecution on phony accusations like they have in the past, all hell will break loose and the biggest political reorganization in US history will follow.

Americans who do believe in freedom and our constitutional republic are going to realize that co-existence with the radical left is not possible. It will not end well for the left, their apparatchiks in the media, or those in the Democrat party. It's going to be about personal liberty, true representative government, and the deconstruction of the federal bureaucracy into de-centralized essential agencies who will be made to know their place in society. Which is to exist to serve the American people not to dominate them, or to compromise their ultimate sovereignty as free citizens to determine the direction of their country. The real bottom line is Totalitarianism will never be allowed to flourish in America. Personal freedom will trump all in the end.

Translation of RotGut's bullshit: The traitor in chief is above the law, and any attempt to hold the POS to account for his criminal behavior will result in another Deplorable uprising like 1/6.

Hopefully the FBI is monitoring extremists like RotGut.

Ok. I’ll check back with you in 20 years to see if Trump’s been arrested.

Which is to exist to serve the American people not to dominate them, or to compromise their ultimate sovereignty as free citizens to determine the direction of their country.

It's a conduit: The way free citizens determine the direction of their country is ultimately through those agencies, created by Congresscritters they elect; there is no other way; and those agencies must usually "dominate" somebody or other to do anything effectual.

And you are elevating all this to much too high a place on the ladder of abstraction than is relevant to Trump's legal troubles.
