    NPD Trump also very intentionally planned to take documents and did so (premeditated theft), & took hundreds, possibly thousands, of documents.


    Kia makes cars.
    So does Ferrari.

    Oh, I don't disagree with any of that. My point is that EVEN IF this were a hypothetical world where Biden had some violation, that doesn't undo all the shit in the indictment. You don't get a free murder because someone else got away with one.

    I know DOJ already said they weren't pursuing Pence. I haven't heard confirmation about Biden, and in fact I don't think that investigation is closed yet - but Trump's situation is unprecedented to my knowledge.

    Thanks to @pig for mentioning this; it slipped past me. It might not involve NPD Trump directly, but we know it does involve him.

    Before Giving Billions to Jared Kushner, Saudi Investment Fund Had Big Doubts (Published 2022)

    Jared Kushner's Saudi money merits DOJ scrutiny, former Trump lawyer says



    The following is clearly op-ed, not neutral journalism, but at times someone needs to say "This shit stinks!."

    Report: Jared Kushner’s $2 Billion Saudi Check Appears Even More Comically Corrupt Than Previously Thought

    I didn't see the last one and just posted it in the other thread.

    The GQP is frothing to see Hunter Biden's junk and are shocked that a rich kid got a job they probably didn't objectively deserve... meanwhile Ivanka gets a nearly impossible patent for makeup in China and Jared gets a check from MSB.

    These people have made me kind of respect Mitt Romney, relatively speaking. W is now having lemonade with the Obama's and is some peacenik painter.

    It's just wild.

    NPD Trump and Nauta have been ordered not to discuss the case directly with each other. They can discuss it through their attorneys.

    They traveled together to the arraignment. They traveled together after the arraignment.

    Basically we're relying on them to use the honor system to guarantee no direct trial discussion. And we're relying on their legal team and close associates to report them if they do directly discuss the case.

    Does anyone believe they won't directly discuss the case?

    Does anyone believe a member of their legal team or a close associate would report them for doing so?

    I would love to know what communications Nauta has received from Team Trump, and wealthy GOP supporters, once it became clear Nauta was part of the investigation.

    Is Nauta willing to serve longer prison time by not flipping on Trump?

    Has he been offered a job-for-life making good money to take one for the team?

    Will Team Trump try to make Nauta the scapegoat? Note: If I were an attorney defending NPD Trump (gag, puke, die) I would strongly recommend not throwing Nauta under the bus.

    I strongly suspect that Nauta will be positioned as a scapegoat - perhaps even volunteer for the role with a healthy retirement opportunity attached. Given the small portion of the evidence and narrative I've seen, it shouldn't really matter unless the jury WANTS to give Trump an out for a reduced sentence. Trump's personal fingerprints are ALL OVER this situation.

    Given his narcissism and his angle for political relevance, I can't see him taking a plea... Which is where the legal smart move is.

    What kind of shit happens when he's found guilty and sentenced?

    I think I heard Smith is considering asking Cannon to recuse.

    Maybe if NPD Trump
    actually paid his attorneys.
    And followed their advice.

    Actually I hope he continues to think he's smarter than his attorneys, the prosecutors, & the judges (at some point Aileen Trump-Cannon will do something he doesn't like).

    *********
    Mentioning attorneys...what has been happening lately with Counselori Giuliani?

    A totally out there thought,
    or a real possibility?
    Based on the optimistic???
    assumption NPD Trump
    actually gets sent to prison:

    Trump Enterprises (or another NPD Trump company) buys a private prison company. NPD Trump gets assigned to that prison.

    Opinion | Why Donald Trump Says His Enemies Are ‘Communists’

    Uhhh, ironic
    Considering he gets much of his funding from Russia
    Got help from Russia for his campaigns (and then some)
    Even had the Russian embassy in the WH after his win.

    This is a dog whistle for his base that doesn't know that the Russians were one of the biggest Communist nations.
    (I don't think they are "officially" anymore, but the background and dynamic is there...Russia is basically a dictatorship now profiting from what it can)

    Basically, T's using a "name" of some type to just get them angry.
    No logic needed.

    Might as well scream out ALIENS :rolleyes:
    He'll get the same foaming at the mouth.

    I guess "liberal(s)" doesn't have the same impact it used to.

    *****
    I'm still wanting to find or create a good name for NPD Trump supporters. It would need to cover the stupidist & most ignorant, and the smartest & highly educated. Magatards is OK, but it's juvenile and lacks creativity.

    Yet another example of T instigating violence.
    Yes, he needs to be in jail.
    But the legal system is lingering all because he's ex-prez.
    Anyone else would have been in jail already.
