The People v. Donald J. Trump The criminal case against him is already in the works — and it could go to trial sooner than you think.


Through appeals, Trump has managed to drag out the battle over his tax returns. The case has gone all the way to the Supreme Court, back down to the district court, and back up to the appeals court. But Trump has lost at every stage, and it appears that his appeals could be exhausted this fall. Once Vance gets the tax returns, Eisen estimates, he could be ready to indict Trump as early as the second quarter of 2021.

Sheil, for one, believes Vance may already have Trump’s financial records. It’s routine procedure, he notes, for criminal tax investigators working with the Manhattan DA to obtain personal and business tax returns that are material to their inquiry. But issuing a subpoena to Trump’s accountants may have been a way to signal to them that they could face criminal charges themselves unless they cooperate in the investigation.

Once indicted, Trump would be arraigned at New York Criminal Court, a towering Art Deco building at 100 Centre Street. Since a former president with a Secret Service detail can hardly slip away unnoticed, he would likely not be required to post bail or forfeit his passport while awaiting trial. His legal team, of course, would do everything it could to draw out the proceedings. Filing appeals has always been just another day at the office for Trump, who, by some estimates, has faced more than 4,000 lawsuits during the course of his career.

But this time, his legal liability would extend to numerous other state and local jurisdictions, which will also be building cases against him. “There’s like 1,037 other things where, if anybody put what he did under a microscope, they would probably find an enormous amount of financial improprieties,” says Scott Shapiro, director of the Center for Law and Philosophy at Yale University.

Even accounting for legal delays, many experts predict that Trump would go to trial in Manhattan by 2023. The proceedings would take place at the New York State Supreme Court Building. Assuming that the judge was prepared for an endless barrage of motions and objections from Trump’s defense team, the trial might move quite quickly — no longer than a few months, according to some legal observers.

And given the convictions that have been handed down against many of Trump’s top advisers, there’s reason to believe that even pro-Trump jurors can be persuaded to convict him. “The evidence was overwhelming,” concluded one MAGA supporter who served on the jury that convicted Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman. “I did not want [him] to be guilty. But he was, and no one is above the law.”

Trump’s conviction would seal the greatest downfall in American politics since Richard Nixon.

Unlike his associates who were sentenced to prison on federal charges, Trump would not be eligible for a presidential pardon or commutation, even from himself. And while his lawyers would file every appeal they can think of, none of it would spare Trump the indignity of imprisonment.

Unlike the federal court system, which often allows prisoners to remain free during the appeals process, state courts tend to waste no time in carrying out punishment.

After someone is sentenced in New York City, their next stop is Rikers Island. Once there, as Trump awaited transfer to a state prison, the man who’d treated the presidency like a piggy bank would receive yet another handout at the public expense: a toothbrush and toothpaste, bedding, a towel, and a green plastic cup.
 
The Trump house of cards is about to come crumbling down.

Some people have very fertile imaginations. They should consider quitting their day jobs and becoming screenwriters.
 
There will be a lot of disappointment when nothing comes of this.
 
Trump lives will dwindle since he will no longer be able to stiff law enforcement as President of the USA.

Why should a president or any elected official have the privilege of blowing off law enforcement when a subpoena has been issued?

Why should a president or any elected lawmaker be able to stonewall a legal investigation?

Yea. Except this ain't fiction. This is true story, real world sh**. As usual though, we'll have to wait an see.
 
Psychopathic Anti Trumpers have nothing to do except whine and complain all day long about President Trump. There is a good reason they call it "Trump Derangement Syndrome". It's because our president lives rent free in their heads.

Listen up. With everything that's going on in our country (Covid, business shut downs, education basically halted, Black Lives Matters riots, etc.) our citizens will not accept another political witch hunt. Democrats lost with the Russia Collusion investigation and with the bogus impeachment. So what makes you think Americans will back another effort when so many important matter must be addressed? And if Democrats think that they will just force things like reparations on tax payers ... you're going to see MANY MILLIONS of people not paying their taxes and it will lead to upheaval. Although let's be honest, it seems that social upheaval is the ultimate goal of today's Democrats. They plan to wreck everything that has been built and then blame it on one man Donald Trump. I don't think it's going to work. Recent elections throughout our nation were too close. We are divided ... if Democrats think playing the bully pulpit under a future president is wise, I'd respectfully disagree.
 
For people who are excited about this, just remember this: if trump is ever indicted and he goes to court, if there's just one trump supporter on the jury it's over. So I would manage your expectations if I were you.

You should agree that it's very difficult if not impossible for a deranged person to manage their expectations (and emotions).

A political witch hunt like trump challenging the election? Most of his supporters don't seem to mind his wild goose chase trying to prove the election was stolen from him when the rest of america realizes biden is president elect and will be sworn into office in january. So I reject your reasoning. Millions not paying their taxes? They going to cut off their noses to spite their faces? Who do they think they are going to hurt other than themselves by not paying their taxes?

Covid, business shut down, education halted and riots everywhere. Great record, let's give him another four years. Makes me wonder what republicans are thinking?
 
A political witch hunt like trump challenging the election?

President Trump has every right to challenge the election results. How is disputing election results a "political witch hunt"?

Democrat Stacey Abrams has yet to concede the Georgia governor election to Brian Kemp. So you ,just agree that she pushing a political witch hunt, right?

I'm saying that if far left Democrat psychos think that they will force things like reparations , post birth abortions, racist BLM programs, the 1619 project, shut down factories, etc, ... there is going to be a problem. Can you see where I'm coming from?

I could see challenging the election if it were close but it's not.

Democratic psychos? Post birth abortions? I see where you are coming from, la la land.

I thought you and the other Trumpers said that Hillary was going to jail, how's that working out for you? :ROFLMAO:
 
Everybody. Take note. Remember the Trump voters.
 
AOC ... Ilhan Omar .... not psychos?

Post birth abortions in New York .... not happening?
Because you and others do not care for them doesn't make they psychos. I would look more towards lindsey graham. You can use his words against him. What is a post birth abortion? How do you abort something which is no longer inside the woman?
