Republicans rally around Trump amid New York indictment

Matters not what you think.
The law is what matters.
Not some fake story from conspiracy theory sources.

 

If they were involved in stopping the peaceful transfer of power like MAGA, then absolutely they are traitors also.

Ready to and willing to swallow that poison pill.
Like a good little member.

 

So you don't think he cheated on his wife with a pornstar, and paid her off to keep quiet? Even if that was not a crime, I would think that someone who claimed to be for christian values would never accept such a person as their leader. Seems like both liberals and conservatives are willing to be complete hypocrites in the leaders they choose. Pretty sad. Someone who actually had a moral fiber in their body would support someone a little more in line with the values they claim to support.

 

that is sad, they do not even see that they are worshiping the Golden Cow

 

The statute of limitations ran out on that years ago how can he be charged with that? How should it have been claimed and what difference did it make?

 

It is not a crime nor the issue with this indictment.

 

I’m not interested in whether or not it is a crime. I want to know whether or not the party that claims to have strong Christian and family values supports a leader that pays off pornstars to hide their infidelity. Or are republicans just hypocrites who say one thing and do another, like democrats are?

 

No, read the world press. That is absolutely NOT what the world sees in America.

They see a president who continues to get off for crimes committed, BECAUSE of how we treat the law as a series of bargains between political parties.

And, I do believe you will work to keep it that way, as to you, the law is no more than a partisan political weapon.

 

No matter what he does. No matter what laws he breaks. You will support him.
You aren’t alone.

 

You already know the answer to the SOL, why ask again?

 

That wasn’t the question

 

Well, one part of that is indisputable. The Republican party has been perfectly happy with the documented fact that Trump payed hush money to a porn star in an attempt to hide that behavior.

The issue before the court is whether there were laws broken.

The decision to move forward with prosecution was based on the results of the grand jury that saw the evidence and heard the law - which is our legal process.

 

What do you think wasn't legitimate process?

This is important. You're making a serious charge. You need to have an answer here.

 

Apparently he refused to prosecute twice before and it's come out that not only accept Soros money BUT also money from DOJ as well. And, yes, feds do on occasion work with locals, but the political implications of feds tossing money into the issue after THEY declined to prosecute pushes the issue out of the judicial bailiwick and dead center into the political. Particularly when the accused is an announced rival for the guy controlling the AG.

 

It's perfectly reasonable for the feds to NOT prosecute, followed (or preceded) by a state prosecuting.

The question would be whether the feds see a prosecutable offense against US law.

And, the state decision is based on whether the state sees a prosecutable offense against state law.

Such decisions are not infrequent.

 

Sure it is. After dismissing the issue?

Ok

Except the state law is a misdemeanor and the statute of limitations on it has expired.

Yeah, right.

 

I was responding to the "even if" part.

 

None don't because I don't belive it can. How should the money have been claimed and what difference did it make?

 

No more so than Dems I don't recall the Reps presenting Trump as the example of moral virtue. But after Clinton so lowered the standard..........

 

The federal government has had to decide when and if they should step in on cases of police murdering black children, gerrymanderin, etc.

Once in a while, the state makes a move. And, usually the federal government chooses to allow states to be as racist as they want.

In fact, the federal government has allowed states to take representation away from black populations. Yet, representation was the REASON we held a revolutionary war!!

 

Please name the "legal experts" who have denounced this.

 

Oh, yes - here we go with the "but he did it" excuse for Trump trying to buy off a prostitute in order to enhance his election hopes.

 

That is exactly my point. So basically Republicans are as low as the Clintons. Why are they supporting such immoral leadership? All anyone cares about is scoring political points and to hell about what is right. The democrats are doing this whole thing to distract from what a disaster the administration is, and the Republicans are selling their soul to a man who cheats on his wife and pays pornstars not to talk about the affair.

I can see being against Biden. He is terrible. But why are Republicans so adamant about supporting some who is so against what Republicans claim to stand for? Why don't they find a leader they can be proud of? It seems all Republicans have cashed in their morality and have just fallen in line because "what else can we do?". They want to stick it to democrats so badly that they have sold their souls to do so.

 

I'm not a Republican an I can stand Trump the man. You'll have to ask them and the Dems. But as I said it started with Clinton who actually assault subordinate workers and trade special employment treatment for sex. Trump never came close to that low bar.
