Stopping or not stopping them from testifying is not the result he is after. Causing enough delay to get himself or an aligned republican elected as president is the goal. The subsequent pardon will make all of this moot. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, but he won't go to jail, nor is it a particularly strong case, nor is a conviction in that going to change anybody's mind. The post I was referring to clearly relates to the Special Prosecutor investigation which is very much federal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But isn't it basically the same thing Cohen did serve time for? In any case, it's nice to see him have to deal with some real consequences for once. If not jail how about some home arrest time with an ankle bracelet and a PO to report to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it isn't the same thing. Cohen was charged federally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The post I was referring to clearly relates to the Special Prosecutor investigation which is very much federal. Georgia charges will also be state charges. No federal pardon for those. And I highly doubt any R President (if that happens, which I also doubt) would pardon Trump. He's too toxic. Don't forget that EVERY candidate in the 2022 mid-terms that Trump endorsed lost. While the MAGA morons are too big of a voting bloc to ignore, pandering to them is not what I see happening. As always, I can be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feuergnom 22 #1038 April 13, 2023 Trump sues his ex-laywer for 500 Mio. Dollars Popcorn sales should rise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil1111 910 #1039 April 13, 2023 9 hours ago, feuergnom said: Trump sues his ex-laywer for 500 Mio. Dollars Popcorn sales should rise Well he needs the money. His net worth has dropped from $4.5 billion when he entered politics. To $2.5 billion now with losses of $700 million in the last year. US commercial real estate is in freefall because of high vacancies. Banks are reluctant to lend on any commercial buildings. "Last September, Forbes estimated that the former president's social media company, Trump Media and Technology Group, was worth $730 million. However, six months later, the business is only valued at $180 million." Only Elon Musk destroyed the value of of a company faster in the last year.

Apparently he once had an estimated net worth of $150 million. The latest estimate is negative $1.5 million. There is more than one reason for the fall, but tangling up with the orange money sucking dotard is the big one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead he was more than happy to work with Mickey C knowing exactly what he brought to the table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump is an idiot. Not necessarily. But a well written counter-suit should take care of those small issues. There is always the exemption for fraud....But doesn't all of trump's business dealings involve fraud? I'd expect a judge to throw trump's action out of court because courts don't enforce illegal contracts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
