This may be true….or not….but if so then wouldn’t a court rule that he cannot RUN for President? 

 

That's what the article is about.

Seems unlikely to me.
 

The Constitution sets the requirements for president and I personally don’t think the charges Trump is currently facing rise to the 14th Amendment’s disqualification clause.

 

Maybe if he ends up being charged with incitement to insurrection but I remain unconvinced that Jack Smith will bring that charge. 
 

Also, there’s a really weird and unsettled debate as to whether the President is an “officer of the United States.” So it’s not sure that clause can apply to the president at all.

Nobody knows for sure if Trump can control himself when faced with imprisonment.

I’m gonna go with he’s not gonna be able to control himself because he know that these judges won’t jail him

 

The real question is whenever he starts outing people that are going to testify against him, and they start getting death threats then what

If he does that, he's going to jail.

Thanks Goose (honestly) 

 

So in short, it’s going to be a real clown show. But, I thought Smith already brought his charges. Was incitement one of them?

Smith has brought charges and they do not include incitement. 

That doesn’t preclude him from bringing more charges though. I still think there’s a decent chance he charges wire fraud but I would be surprised by an incitement charge because it’d be so much harder to prove than the charges he’s already brought.

What’s the wire fraud charge about? I have to admit I don’t know that one.

Real big surprise, eh?

Judge Cannon is compromised.

So far, there is no wire fraud charge. I’m just guessing there might be in the future based on what we know. 
 

Trump has a PAC he set up to challenge the 2020 election and received tens of millions of dollars in donations. He seems to have been using that money for other things including paying for his personal attorneys. 
 

If he was using the money for things other than what the PAC’s stated purpose was, that would mean that he was inducing people to give him money under fraudulent pretenses. This is what Steve Bannon and the “Build the Wall PAC” people got in trouble for. 
 

From what we can tell, the Special Counsel has been asking witnesses about the PAC, so it’s on Smith’s radar. 
 

So I guess the questions are: was Trump a careful steward of other people’s money? If not, is there enough evidence to prove he wasn’t?

@ChiGoose wire fraud!

 

Deranged indeed

Meadows is going to be key imo.  If he's agreed to testify, I wonder if he'll be given protection...

We've got @ChiGoose and @redtail hawk with their serious legal analysis keeping us entertained.

I love that the lady who said the cops who testified at J6 were crisis actors remains your go-to gal.

Is Sidney your go-to legal expert?

Or do you prefer the guy who puts shoe polish in his hair?
