I'm no lawyer, but upon his first indictments I believe it was determined that you could be in prison and run for president still. In fact, it has already happened before by Eugene Debs in 1920.
 
Guilty on all thirty-four felony counts. Thank you for your service going out to those twelve peers of now felon Donald J. Trump, ex-president of these United States.

What a sad time for America.

See you back here on July 11th for the sentencing of a felon - four days before the National Republican nomination.

Legal Experts: The Trump Trial Jury Instructions Are Not Normal​

Katie Pavlich | May 29, 2024 11:15 AM

Closing arguments in the trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City, where he is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, have concluded and Judge Juan Merchan has given the jury their instructions. The instructions were given verbally and jurors won't receive printed copies, although they can ask questions.

According to legal experts, Merchan's standards for a conviction are abnormal and do not require jurors to reach a unanimous decision on the charges. Further, jurors don't have to determine what crime was committed.

"Judge Merchan has ruled that the jury does not have to agree on what that crime is. The jury could split into three groups of four on which of the three crimes were being concealed and Merchan will still treat it as a unanimous verdict," George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, who has been inside the courtroom, writes. "The jury has been given little substantive information on these crimes, and Merchan has denied a legal expert who could have shown that there was no federal election violation. This case should have been dismissed for lack of evidence or a cognizable crime."

The above proves that Merchan is a corrupt Judge unfit for the bench. This is a total corruption of American law and judicial process.

We, the Literotica jury, would like to thank Judge Merchan for his service in conducting a high-profile and complex never-before-encountered felony trial against an ex-president. Truly, this will become a precedent for future cases and serve as a guideline if another high-ranking political personality faces court charges in New York City.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the jury for their diligent service and the difficult task they have undertaken. While we value the opinion of George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, it is important to note that the final decision rested with the twelve individuals who have determined Donald J. Trump's guilt on all thirty-four counts.

See you all on July 11th for sentencing. Have a pleasant afternoon.
 
It is probably too early for the USA to start healing from the divisiveness of the past 8 years but maybe there is now a glimmer of hope for that outcome.

My forecast of the next development: Trump will have a health collapse attested by a small army of medicos which will make it impossible to serve time, but not so bad that he cannot run.

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure NDAs cannot be used to circumvent testimony in a criminal trial. If it was legal, wouldn't every crook pay off every potential adversarial witness via NDA?

It's crucial to understand that the issue at hand isn't the legality of an NDA in a trial. In this case, a person's Fifth Amendment rights take precedence over any attempt to force a witness to testify. This is why the 'witness' is currently incarcerated.

The chief bookkeeper for Trump values the two-million-dollar agreement over his testimony. It seems that he is willing to sit in a cell instead of revealing information about Trump. Trump effectively knew how to keep the bookkeeper quiet and bought his silence, preventing him from testifying for the prosecution or the defense. If the bookkeeper were to speak at the trial, he would be subject to cross-examination and would risk losing his money according to the terms of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

Go figure, you can buy silence - sometimes. [Stormy notwithstanding.]

Jonathan Turley is stumping for Trump on FOX. And the Five is spinning trump as a hero fighting the corrupt Biden conspiracy and completely minimizing what actually happened and that it will ignite the base. Doing what they do and claiming a victory for Trump while a loss for the divided country.

As previously mentioned, it's evident that this verdict won't withstand the scrutiny of the appellate process. The inevitability of the guilty verdict became apparent upon the revelation of the jury instructions by the Judge, which were unjustly barred from discussion during closing arguments. It's apparent that the scales of justice were tampered with. From the outset, the overwhelming Democratic majority in New York City, coupled with the handpicked selection of the judge—instead of a random selection from a pool of 171—both for Trump's and Bannon's trials, raises serious concerns. The odds of impartiality seem improbable. Even the President himself harbored doubts about the fairness of the trial. Though I held onto a glimmer of hope that at least one juror would see through the manipulation, that hope waned in the final days of the proceeding

What's the next move? there will be an appeal, drawing from the points I've highlighted earlier. However, navigating the court system could take months. In the interim, Joe Biden will have achieved his long-desired goal: branding Donald Trump as a convicted felon. It's a tactic straight from the Democratic playbook, but it doesn't overshadow the grave injustice that has transpired. It falls upon the legal system in New York to set things right. While the Democrats and their fervent supporters may celebrate this as a victory, it's a stark reminder of the lengths they'll go for political advantage

There is a tale an untold saga, the very fabric of narratives that captivates the masses in theaters across America. It unfolds around a lone figure, his spirit unbroken despite relentless assaults from an unyielding adversary. He faces off against a malevolent force, a twisted embodiment of wrath and greed—a relentless pursuit for dominion veiled in darkness. At its core, it's the timeless clash between good and evil.

So... how do you account for the appeals court upholding the gag order?

Ish also thinks that the appeals court will operate differently than Merchan's court.
