This is not a pattern - this is a way of life. Finally he received his felon status
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_business_legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump
From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes.[1] He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault,[2][3] with one accusation resulting in him being held civilly liable.[4]
In 2015, Trump's lawyer Alan Garten called Trump's legal entanglement "a natural part of doing business" in the U.S.[5][6] While litigation is indeed common in the real estate industry,[5] Trump has been involved in more legal cases than his fellow magnates Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.[7] Numerous legal matters and investigations occurred during and after Trump's presidency, some being of historical import.
Between October 2021 and July 2022 alone, the Republican National Committee paid more than US$2 million to attorneys representing Trump in his presidential, personal, and business capacities.[8] The New York Times published an overview of his legal involvements as of September 2022.[9] In January 2023, a federal judge fined Trump and his attorney nearly $1 million, characterizing him as "a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries".[10]

Every ReTHUG MAGAt defending this felon needs to read his history and tell me exactly what is rigged about his latest criminal trial.

(102,622 posts)Doubt it would happen. But then, this conviction might make the press a little more vicious when asking him questions... that would be interesting.
He's bound for meltdown of epic proportion, hopefully all that will be left is a foul smelling puddle when he ranges himself into a froth.

(24,296 posts)Seems if they were using him as a spy, snitch, stoolie, flipper or scheiss orange source they'd have long ago brought him in for money laundering, fraud, aiding and abetting Putin, etc. There's too much "there" there to ignore and let slide.
Seeing how the FBI doesn't bust Trump, I am inclined to believe they like him that way because it opened up new "opportunities" for them. For example, look at America's Meyer Lansky Rudy the Fed running around with Lev Parnas. Look at FBI Charles McGonigal running around with Oleg Deripaska. Look at Melania Knavss appreciating the introduction from Jeffrey Epstein.
Something ain't right when the country's biggest crooks get to "help" the biggest crooked pols. Oh, yeah, I forgot: When it comes to capitalism, the rich get out of jail for free.
