    He's going to spend a couple of days in rich people jail, and then spend the rest of his campaign acting like a hardened tough guy criminal like Dom Mysterio.

          Certainly, though I think it stood out to me because I was just reading the comments of this thread and remembered Reddit's circle-jerk karma farms, which are perhaps another manifestation of the same phenomenon.

    Gotta say, as funny and frustrating it is to see libs all about this, the details of it are impressively funny.

    Dude kept documents in a bathroom,

          She absolutely should have seen consequences btw, or at least the 3 stooges who were very clearly involved in attempting to cover it up but who all got immunity to some degree for nothing.

          Libs reducing the event to a mocking "buttery males" like she literally did nothing wrong (rather than our stacked justice system just not really going after her beyond making the appearance of doing so) is going to frustrate me until I die

                It seems like the DOJ was willing to give Trump the same deference; they gave him many opportunities and over a year to hand over the stuff, no harm no foul. The reason he was indicted is primarily because he tried to call their bluff, and he was wrong. The justice system does prioritize politics over the principle of abstract equality under the law, but there is a limit to how far politics will let even a president slide.

    This situation gets progressively funnier and/or more interesting even though I'm pretty sure that nothing will fundamentally change. I think the deep state is comfortable with charging Trump for doing documents wrong and letting him go with a slap on the wrist, because that's exactly the sort of procedural gotcha that will allow them to say that they're doing their jobs without starting an internal civil war because you know tons of people in the three letter agencies see Trump as "their guy".

      doing documents wrong

      If Trump was merely being a doofus, keeping boxes at his club because he can or is too incompetent to keep them organized, that would be one thing. The indictment includes allegations that Trump was actively sharing secrets and not cooperating (lying) when asked to return the documents. It is obviously more than just mishandling, it crossed into willful malice at a certain point, which is the only reason he was charged. He was given a long leash.

      It does not matter how much the state likes Trump. Having state secrets casually shared at a country club is directly against state interests and therefore he had to be charged. This is perfectly logical even within a justice system which would have let him get away with crimes that anyone else would have been fucked for committing.

    Jar Jar's the key to all this, if we get Jar Jar working. 'Cause he's a funnier character than we've ever had in the movies.

      He was found guilty of sexual assault and defamation and the court is forcing him to pay $5 million to the victim, E. Jean Caroll.

        Note: in civil court, so no jailtime, or real record. Just paying another woman off.

        That was something else, I think he has also been charged with some election law for bribing stormy Daniels and not reporting it as a campaign contribution

          He used business money to do it as well without properly reporting it to his corporate structure, so they're also charging with corporate fraud.

          With the stuff you mentioned, I think he'll probably get away with the campaign fraud, because it can be argued that he didn't pay off stormy for campaign reasons, but general celebrity reputation reasons. John Edwards (dem who ran for pres in 08) did a similar thing paying off his pregnant mistress and got away with it, saying that cheating on his cancer-having wife would damage personal reputation. But then again, Trump hired Giuliani as a lawyer before so idk if he knows what he's doing with legal stuff lol.

          What they might get him on is the frauding his own company thing. I can see why chuds are upset, he just does everything everyone else does, but a careerist DA in New York saw a personal opportunity to be the guy to indict Trump.

          Too bad they don't reflect more on this and become communist, but that's the same with most things working class chuds complain about. The beautiful bourgeois boaters I'm not disappointed by because it's expected.

    i haven't looked at the indictment, but i was lazily listening to the beginning of the most recent black wolf feed ep, and will said something like

    his entire life has been the life of a rich boy breaking whatever laws and getting away scot-free, but i have to say looking at the details of the indictment... this time he may actually be fucked.

    they started talking about how of course the state would never let a president go to jail for doing the illegal shit presidents do for empire, but this is kind of a special case of an idiot brazenly doing stupid shit that sort of undermines the natsec community's prestige (aka sense of self)... and that even though the judge is a trump appointee, he might get prison anyway because he is too stupid of an asshole to come to the table, be quiet, and go home.

    which, if true: lmao.
