Trump vs the United States

[drray23]

So , if Trump gets indicted I am assuming the party involved would be the United States since it would be for a federal crime.

What does this means legally ? Say, if the trials and appeals drag into another administration does it continue or does the new administration/AG need to explicitly do so ?

1. When the GOP takes power, all charges against Trump are dropped and he gets the Medal of Freedom.

Made a national hero and re-elected back into office.

2. that's the question.

the justice department can indict. However after that it gets into the court system which is an independent branch . So I'm wondering if once something is winding it's way through the court system the prosecution can decide to withdraw it or if it is out of their hands.

4. But it can also wind its way up to the SC GOP junta.

And we know what will happen there.

I imagine experienced GOP prosecutors can find a way to drag their heels, plea bargain down to nothing, find "missing" evidence exonerating Trump, etc etc.

Like in any profession there are ways to get around obstacles.

3. I know you were joking but it's not far from the truth

5. Unfortunately my jokes have a way of becoming true. Farce has become reality.

Trump gets votes so the GOP will milk him for all its worth.

And giving him medals would infuriate the left and the GOP is all about that.
