Glad to see someone in the LEGAL profession still has HIS spine. Thank you, Counselor and District Attorney Bragg ! You the MAN !

And he should not dismiss them. I don’t care if he is the King of England, the Pope or anyone else. He was not President when he was convicted. He was a citizen, and bound by the law.

And still is NOT YET a sitting president!

Fabulous news that there still is a clear-sighted person in the judiciary system who is strong enough to stand up to the people who are bereft of a just vision, of the law, of our USA Constitution. I applaud you DA Bragg; you are strong enough! 🙏💯

He is not yet President. Did the supreme court also rule that the president-elect is immune?? As usual, he’s just making shit up hoping it will stick.

Nope.No immunity for a president-elect

Effin bonkers these judges.

Bravo to Alvin Bragg for standing up for the rule of law.

The whole idea that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted is flawed as this pertains merely to a polcy memo from the DOJ but not actual law. The Supreme Court made it more difficult however.

Trump. You broke the law. You pay.

It simply blows my mind that a felon-for-President can win an election and appoint delinquents to high office, but who would ALL fail background security checks! Isn't that the point of background checks?? That is, if you fail the check, you can't take office? Also, TFG refusing to sign a transition agreement? Where are the laws that can block this entire incoming administration from running the country because they're clearly unqualified to do so? All these freaking red flags, but the sitting Democrat-controlled Senate can't block the transition but just watch the USA be handed to a criminal organization? Absolutely insane!

God bless Alvin Bragg for having some cajones!!!

Thank you DA Bragg! Although personally I was hoping for the 11/26 date to stand for sentencing, and a required drug test result (VOP might extend sentence) with report date to Rikers of 12/6 of at least 60 days, requiring Chief Justice Roberts to go on visiting day to swear the career criminal in and hopefully encounter a lockdown situation that prevents him from leaving too. Hope is all I have left. 💔

If the rationale of not prosecuting a president is basically "he's too busy to deal with the time a trial takes" isn't that rationale over once the verdict convicts him? How much time does it take to show up for sentencing?

That said, Tribe suggests the best solution is to postpone sentencing until he's no longer president.

Perhaps the golf schedule could be adjusted

never. Nor the TV time nor the Trootheet time. (I suspect Elon will be encouraging him back to twitter. Wonder what his investors in Trooth Social --aka DJT on the stock exchange-- are going to think when that company folds?

It will be a huge and much needed writeoff

Susan Linehan's avatar

For big guys, those who have capital gains elsewhere. But for the little investor who bought "in support" of trump? If that's all the stock he has, he gets a max 3K write off against regular income.

Bonnie's avatar

The stooges really over a barrel in that case. The maga stonks bro. 3k, that's bad.

Susan Linehan's avatar

that’s the way the tax laws already rumble. Soon to crumble.

Bragg is the last bit of the rule of the law.

As a convicted felon he should not have been allowed to run for office. Would that we had people in the proper offices such as D.A. Bragg, then we wouldn’t have to deal with this posturing and attempted corruption. Bragg has my vote!
