Can you imagine the jury that rendered a verdict

[choie]

against that orange POS learning that it was all for naught? FUCK all the chicken shit politicians, lawyers (of both parties) corporate shill media and the AG who brought us to this point.

[Irish_Dem]

1. So many people risked a great deal trying to bring Trump to justice.

While others folded like lawn chairs.

[BComplex]

2. Truly, those jurors risked their lives, or at least their future peace, by serving on that jury.

This country needs a serious makeover. If we're not going to hold the upper classes to the same standards of justice, there is no justice.

[Nasruddin]

11. There is certainly that tail-end risk

that they might be made examples

[orangecrush]

30. Yes

MAGATS always enjoy terrorizing those they perceive as weak.

Until they do it to the wrong person.

[MichMan]

3. I'm sure they are disappointed after spending the time and effort on the case

Same as the Jussie Smollet jury is likely feeling this week.

[Solomon]

13. That case should have never been tried.

The government made a deal with him that he complied with. Then they prosecuted him anyway. You and I may not have liked the deal, but a deal is a deal.

Hunter Biden was almost exactly the same in terms of the fact that a deal was made and Hunter complied. However, in his case, the judge wouldn't agree to the deal, so it was never consummated.

[MichMan]

15. The point is that a jury was seated, took time out of their lives and after deliberations came up with a verdict

All for naught

[riversedge]

28. This sends a message to juries that if you have money/and or influence, you can still go FREE even if

you are found guilty. Actually, it sends a message to the world that this is how it is in the #USA.

[dpibel]

24. The Smollet jurors are in danger?

This is quite a lovely false equivalence.

Or do you actually believe that, were the Smollet jurors publicly identified, they would be subject to threats and calumny?

[Lonestarblue]

4. And the message this sends to Trump is that threats work and he will never be held accountable for any crime.

I honesty believe that Trump could have someone he believes to be an enemy publicly tortured and beaten in the White House, and no one would do a thing.

[Otto_Harper]

5. Don't forget the bone saw (NT)

[Rhiagel]

27. Threats certainly worked against the former 13-year-old child he raped.

&t=219s

[Sneederbunk]

6. A Medal of Freedom for each of them.

[Hope22]

7. Their lives could still be in danger.

I never underestimate the vindictiveness of T.

[Hope22]

8. It was a giant waste of human effort and endangered many people.

Justice was served at the trial. Honorable people did the hard things. The rest of the system collapsed around them.

[David Boyle]

9. Respectfully, I think this article may be missing the point

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-hush-money-trial-sentencing-canceled_n_6740aa43e4b078cce4af16fe

The case has not been dismissed; but Trump is allowed to argue that it should be. (It shouldn't, I think, but even the worst criminal has procedural rights to a "day in court" on various issues, etc.)

Just clearing that up. Thanks.

[travelingthrulife]

16. So he gets to do this forever? How often has he called for his convictions to be vacated

He has had days and days and days of court protection.

[David Boyle]

22. Justice is slow sometimes...

sadly enough.

But Bragg has to look like he's prosecuting fairly, and giving "the other side" their due process...

[choie]

21. The sentencing has been postponed indefinitely.

That's what I'm talking about.

[NoMoreRepugs]

10. Bondi will work her ass off to try and find their names.

[David Boyle]

23. Hopefully not too long.

If the case is dismissed (God forbid), then of course, no sentencing.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

12. AG Garland said at the beginning of T***p's federal legal problems:

that the law is applied equally to everyone.

Bullshit!

Have you noticed he doesn't say that anymore?

[yourout]

26. He forgot to add... "In certain income classes"

[barbtries]

14. It was not all for naught.

he was convicted of 34 felonies and that remains a historical fact.

that he'll have to wait until after he dies, yes, that stings a lot, and i was not on that jury.

[Retrograde]

17. One justice system for the rich and powerful

another lesser justice system for the rest of us.

Speaking of AGs, how are NY AG James' attempts to get Donnie and sons to pay up doing? Or Ms Carroll's defamation judgements? Will they also be "postponed" - i.e., shoved to a time when Donnie is not president (I think he'll either succumb to natural causes or deteriorate so badly that his family and cabinet can no longer ignore it). In other words, once more he gets off scott-free.

[Nigrum Cattus]

18. Law & Order ?

[surfered]

19. We all know Trump is crooked, but a Jury is the finder of fact and they determined

He falsified business records.

[Justice matters.]

31. Not just that, he conspired with co-conspirators to defraud voters

in order to try to win a Presidential election.

His co-conspirators were sentenced to prison time for conspiring with him to do that.

But he will probably either just get a probation or sing kumbaya before that.

That's not equal justice for all.

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Yes, I am bitter about Garland's role in this. Pres. Biden should fire his a&& anyways, even being as close as it is to

tRUMP taking over. Send a strong message to Garland that he's failed this Country.

[drmeow]

25. F**k the Republicans

for not voting to convict. Garland wouldn't matter as much if they been just a teeny tiny bit patriotic instead of greedy, power hungry, immoral f**ks.

[DaBronx]

29. I was thinking about this very thing today

And I came to the conclusion that each jury or jurors should sue the US Govt for obstruction of justice. I haven’t figured out the basis yet but I feel there is one. It is a form of false imprisonment. It is arguably obstruction of justice.
Help me out here, Professor Tribe!
