What comes next for Donald Trump?

[CountValentine]

Makes sense for that to happen after being locked up for 2 weeks.

...and the numbers in the toilet. At some point they can only go up.

He has a very good point here. I haven't been following the case closely, but the optics are so corrupt that I am shocked the judge is allowing this. There must be more to the story.

Don't think the judge rules on optics.

Hence the last sentence, but bad optics are absolutely grounds for recusal.

Tell that to Clarence Thomas.

It was a video compilation of her campaigning about how she would go after Trump.

That worthless bum hasn’t done anything since becoming AG. She refuses to go after vicious criminals & hate crimes. She’s only concerned with Trump, the rest of NY’ers could go to hell for all she cares. It’s a crime she still has the job.

Makes sense for an AG elected by the criminals.

Who was elected by the criminals?

A judge certainly does rule on "the appearance of impropriety."

[CountValentine]

optics - the way in which an event or course of action is perceived by the public
Prosecutor - Your honor, the public perceives him to be guilty.
Judge - That's good enough for me, guilty!
 

[CountValentine]

Let's raise the prospect of them planting evidence. The election deniers will swallow this hook line and sinker.

I know you enjoy playing dumb, but in case there is anyone reading who is interested to know, the appearance of impropriety is reason for a recusal

That has nothing do with what I said so you should not have quoted me.

And persecuting B&H (which she lost badly).

I agree, and it has been driving Trump nuts for five years. We know the guy is obsessed about what is said about him, good or bad.
