Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one.

74 felonies. How big of a health bar does this boss have.

[-] transientDCer@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Any of the rest of us would have been in a jumpsuit and jail cell a long ass time ago.

[-] markr@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

If the left had sacked the capitol, a state of emergency would have been declared, a widespread and indiscriminate arrest and detainment of thousands of people tagged as 'leftists' would have occurred, and we would have been under martial law.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

California would have been preemptively nuked.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Wheels of prosecution turn slowly. Normal people wouldn't be imprisoned yet, either.

Federal trial dates are typically 12-18 months after indictment in the US.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

If Trump was black, the cops would have killed him by now.

[-] UnsyllabledQuickies@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the summary!

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thanks i appreciate the you are heres

[-] Jah348@lemm.ee 51 points 2 years ago

By "rock Trump world" I think they meant make absolutely no difference to anyone wrapped in right wing propoganda blankets. Tuning in last night it was about how the left is "grasping at straws" going after the poor "janitor"

This site has a pretty good and easy to understand listing of the different cases and their progress: https://indictment.fyi/

Trump world sounds like a rough theme park.

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Trump world. Come to spend all your money for nothing in return and also get sexually assaulted!

[-] Locuralacura@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

And if you try to tell anyone you were sexually assaulted, be prepared to have your family threatened with violence.

[-] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

.. And I'll I got was this lousy t-shirt.

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

There's a fun form you can fill out where you get to make the park owner money and go to jail for them as they sit back and laugh at your stupid volunteer work

[-] Nommer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There's a roadside attraction I drove past recently in the northern part of Michigan called trump land. Had signs and shrines on both sides of the road. I truly do not understand how people can be that batshit insane and still be allowed in civilized society.

[-] FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Thank you very much for the very easy to digest explanation of his multiple investigations. We are living through an absolutely insane time

[-] Chickens@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The Democrats are in the process of re-electing him. It's happening before our eyes.

[-] rigatti@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

How does this make any sense?

[-] markr@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

ah this is the theory that we should just let him stage coups, pilfer classified docs, and commit crimes without any impediments because his insane (literally) base doesn't care and will vote even harder than they would have voted. OK. Yeah, I see your point.

[-] GrimChaos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think he's getting down voted because it seems like they are suggesting that we don't pursue criminal charges just because he's a rich political figure. And running for office is an excuse for not pursuing charges just because they are a popular choice for some. Especially the since the evidence that is out there seems to be very strong and compelling... And that's just the public info.

Public servants (police and such) and political figures should be held to a higher standard not a lower standard, regardless of what political side they are on. And the rich and powerful should be held to an equal standard as the poor.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

We’re still paying the price of pardoning Nixon, that’s what all this is

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

"Should be." Cool idea.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So your dad already supported him? Because he can't vote for him more than he already would have.

[-] markr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

His dad is going to break three pencils marking the ballot instead of his usual two.

[-] neoman4426@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Well, given pretty much all voter fraud found was Trumpies trying to vote for him multiple times the dude's dad can certainly try. Probably fail, but try
