Donald Trump will never be convicted of anything

[Cyrano]

Note that I didn't say "put on trial." I said "convicted."

Even if he pardons himself or is pardoned by Pence, both NY State and NY City may just have enough regarding his financial dealings, money laundering, etc., to put him on trial for racketeering or worse.

Here's the big BUT: It's virtually impossible for any prosecutor to select a jury that doesn't have at least one MAGAt on it. And that one MAGAt would never vote to convict him of anything at all, (rape, murder, cannibalism, -- you name it).

You may be thinking that he'll get off totally free, but my guess is the fines he'll have to pay to the IRS and many, many others will leave him broke. But you just know he'll find some scam to have his MAGAts "donate" to him and he'll pocket millions.

In effect, he'll be exiled to Mar-a-Lago and some nearby golf course for the rest of his life, wallowing in his own victimhood. And even if he tries to establish his own media outlet, the reality is that every business he ever founded failed. So will any media outlet he tries to establish.

He will fade away like Sara Palin. And all we'll be left with is the criminal organization called The Republican Party.

1. While I'd love to see him spend the rest of his miserable life

in a different sort of government housing than he's been enjoying for the past four years, I agree that it isn't likely to happen - so I will content myself with the thought that eventually, after even the MAGAts have moved on, he'll be broke and ignored.

2. New York is making him squirm.

I love it. His kids may be in trouble too.

[treestar]

3. The trial might be embarrassment enough

and make him squirm enough.

In NYC, it might be possible to avoid a Magat on the jury. If they have peremptory challenges, it might even be a thing they could ask. Though Magats lie.

[Turin_C3PO]

10. Agreed.

DC would also be a place where he could be convicted.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Trump is an old white rich guy, with no prior convictions...

I agree he won't do a day in prison, maybe some home detention, fines, probation.

I think he will do the rallies, play at being a professional candidate to milk the cultists for more money as well.

Oh and if he gets fine huge amounts of money. Trump will instantly become destitute.

9. That's probably the way it will go.

5. I would like to see

the State of New York, and City of New York, attach his business bank accounts as well as his personal one(s). Same with his spawn.

[Cyrano]

13. It's possible that Jared and Donald Jr. could do jail time

I don't know if MAGAts have the same feelings about Trump's clan that they have about Dear Leader.

[OLDMDDEM]

21. Thoretically yes

But would it ever happen? Depends on the brass balls of the prosecutor. Is there a jury out there without a Magat on it?

[LakeArenal]

6. Mr Lake has said that since 2016.

Underlings will be thrown under the bus. But not trumpybear.

[Blue Owl]

7. And why, I do not know

[Turin_C3PO]

8. I think if he were charged

in DC or Manhattan, a jury of twelve could easily convict him.

[rso]

11. Jury

It would actually be possible to find a Magat-free Jury in Manhattan, where Cy Vance’s case would take place.

[underpants]

12. No.

[Hoyt]

14. Agree completely, although not sure about the IRS. Prosecutors aren't as like to go after him

if they know they will lose.

It's extremely difficult to untangle financial dealings and find tax crimes, especially if he did in fact have high loses in prior years.

I'm just glad he won't be Prez in a few months.

[world wide wally]

15. If he is indicted, he will end up in Mara Lago playing golf for the rest of his life.

If he is NOT indicted, he will end up in Mara Lago playing golf for the rest of his life.

[CentralMass]

16. I think that cognitive decline might get him

[Cyrano]

18. Seems that he's well along on that road

[JI7]

17. I'm fine his business(scam) being exposed and destroyed

and him being humiliated. And the family name being not just worthless but loser.

[Kablooie]

19. Voir Dire if handled competently could make a difference.

Lawyers have the opportunity to interview and discard potential jurors that have bias regarding a case.

Of course it will be just as hard to find jurors unbiased against Trump too.

[Progressive Jones]

20. I'm 0illing to bet he'll never be safe in the street nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. I agree. Can't stand it. But agreed.... nt

[LiberalFighter]

23. The odds are better in NY than in Alabama.
