If he lives that long, Trump could still be tried when he leaves office; Charges could be refiled

[hawkeye21]

* Election subversion in Georgia (state charge)
* Stolen documents case in Florida (federal charge)
* January 6 (federal charge)

It's impossible to guess what anything will be like four years from now, but I'm going to hold out hope that all these charges will, in fact, be refiled once the "you can't prosecute a president" thing is moot. Although I would settle for Trump suffering a massive stroke at any moment and then living another 20 years. (See Kennedy, Joseph P., who lived eight years after his massive stroke.)

1. He won't live that long.

One day, soon, there will breaking news.

[Think. Again.]

3. Don't tease us like that.

13. But Dr sham Ronny Jackson

said he was in the best presidential health of all time

[mr715]

14. I mean, you can tell.

I acknowledge that Trump is a sexy, sexy man. 6'3" and 220 lbs of pure, grade A all American beef right there. Never worked out a day in his life either. Natty. He just glows, too. All that health just oozing from all his pores.

Of course that could be ascribed to his truly idyllic partnership with Melania. She is a woman of grace and beautiful, and so naturally warm. They are truly a standard we should all strive to meet.



But in all seriousness, maybe Ronny Jackson should hand out stronger stuff than Ambien and Provigil.


Listen, lightning strikes happen. People win the lottery. The GOP is all about owning the libs, but eventually, inevitably time will have his due. And I reserve the right to not give a flying fuck about feelings when that happens.


Thanks for making me smile.

[Think. Again.]

2. There are statutes of limitations to consider.

[hawkeye21]

5. Not that I'm aware of, and not that my excellent sources are aware of.

Although I haven't checked into that issue specifically.

[Think. Again.]

6. DUCKDUCKGO search to the rescue...

From Forbes, yesterday...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/01/14/can-trump-face-criminal-trials-after-leaving-office-what-to-know-as-jack-smith-argues-he-couldve-been-found-guilty/

But it’s unclear if a second prosecution would work out: Trump’s lawyers would likely argue the statute of limitations had run out on the charges by the time he leaves office, as his alleged federal offenses are subject to a five-year statute of limitations following the end of the conduct that Trump was charged with—which would expire in early 2026 for the election case and 2027 for the documents case.

Prosecutors could argue the statute of limitations was paused for the duration of Trump’s presidency, though it remains to be seen if the courts would agree, and the 2000 memo also noted Congress could pass a rule saying the statute of limitations didn’t apply when Trump was in the White House—but given the current political divisions in Congress, that seems unlikely to pass.

4. I hope he croaks before the 20th. -nt

[bdamomma]

7. He will conducting

more crimes. And may be this time, he will taking down those who kissed the ring for him. Eating their own may happen.

[surfered]

8. Why would we think he will leave office?

[jalan48]

9. That ship has sailed.

[SamKnause]

10. Seriously ???

Who at that point gives a flying fuck ???

The damage will already be done and most likely impossible to repair.

New York allowed this thief to go unpunished for decades.

He will never pay for his crimes.

[mr715]

16. Retribution

Serious philosophical question -- does justice require punishment?

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. Why did I read this header

"Charges Could be Raffled"? That would put a whole new spin on things......

[Beausoleil]

12. Just a bigger incentive for him to run again

22nd Amendment be damned. They crushed the 14th, why not the 22nd?

[mr715]

15. A legit concern

All the more reason to insist he keeps golfing, ideally during thunderstorms.
