Try worrying about the larger problem of the presumed nominee being convicted already, and facing espionage charges.

Convicted of what? Serious question.

That’s just sad and I hope that is not the real document.

Why it’s sad is because legally no such person known as TRUMP exists unless they are indicting his brand.

And for the record. I am not a lawyer.

That aside. I want to know who was at the golf club in NJ and what the purpose of the meeting and also who recorded it (if the tape exists). Also, I’d like to know if NJ is a two way consent State when it comes to recordings. That can cause problems for the recorder.

I’m not a lawyer and no one is paying me to do this so I’ll stop.

I don't believe Trump will be convicted of a single thing that the prosecutor has indicted him for.

So who could have standing?

It seems like Barrett's questioning really focused on why the State of Missouri was bringing the claim on behalf of MOHELA rather than just having MOHELA bring the claim itself. Based on that, I think it sounds like at least Barrett would think that the actual loan provider would have standing by claiming a loss in fees around servicing the forgiven loans.

Then again, they could find that Missouri, as the quasi owner of MOHELA, has an interest in protecting the private company they set up, and therefore has standing.

My gut tells me that this Court will find a way to strike down the policy, but I am closer to 50/50 based on the recent ruling, while in the past I would have been closer to 80/20 that it was struck down.

Sorry; "liable" for being a sexual abuser, but you would be correct as it wasn't a criminal trial, it's not a "conviction."
His organization was convicted of 17 felonies. Curiously, people aren't worried about a years' long fraud like this, but 2 years of Hunter evading and they go nuts.
I'd trade Trump's possible conviction on the espionage charges for an agreement not to run for office and the return of all the documents to the proper authorities.

I hope you Libs are happy about that and saving your money for higher taxes and higher inflation caused by a more large Fed deficit due to paying off rich kids college loans for them.
Sure, that’s a winning platform.

Putin: "Peace was signed between Ukraine and Russia in the spring of 2022."‼️

#Putin publicly showed the previously unpublished document in front of South African President Ramaphosa.

(Nato reportedly sent disgraced US puppet Boris Johnson to force Kiev to back down.)

Looks like the Biden Administration deployed Boris Johnson to scuttle a tentative peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in spring 2022. This was never about the Ukrainian people. It was always about engineering a war against Russia. #Kennedy24
