Deep down do you think Trump will be indicted?

[brettdale]

By anyone?

I don't think so, the prosecutors all remind me of
a kid from Middle school, who use to say, "I have a big secret, its going to blow ya mind"

But I cant tell you yet, and he keeps hinting and hinting thruout the year about this big thing
he knows about.

I also think, bad people win, rich bad people win, powerful people win, it sucks
but I think he will get away with everything.

[montanacowboy]

1. Nope

I hope I'm wrong but I have seen this movie before

[Captain Zero]

38. Today's poll. More likely to get reelected, than indicted

Sad to say.

[Walleye]

2. They are taking grand jury testimony. They don't do that for fun

Usually grand jury testimony is followed by indictment

[KS Toronado]

40. Amen, Тяцмp is going to prison guaranteed.

[BlackSkimmer]

68. Guaranteed?

Really?

[KS Toronado]

74. The writing is on the wall

See Walleye #2 above, plus there's more than one Grand Jury looking into his evilness.
The more of us that believe it the quicker he goes.

[Ocelot II]

3. Yup.

[cilla4progress]

4. My husband and I just turned to each other

and said we hope we live long enoigh to see him held accountable.

Hopefully he doesn't outlive us.

[Deuxcents]

30. I say the same thing. I'll leave this Earth a happy woman if I live to see the day..

No house arrest or watered down plea deals.

[Trueblue1968]

55. i want Donald Rump taken away like the crooked president in MY FELLOW AMERICANS

I CAN'T FIND THE CUT OF THE PART ....

Vice President Ted Matthews getting arrested in MY FELLOW AMERICANS is so funny. i love it

[Skittles]

5. indicted?

maybe

actually serve time? hell fucking no

[Tickle]

12. I think you are right

The president has 24 hour protection, guaranteed.How could he go to jail? Unless the rules change.

[Eyeball_Kid]

14. Hah! He'd be protected 24/7 by the prison guards, don't you know? n/t

[Tickle]

17. Lol 😂 NT

[90-percent]

54. i hope its the same prison guards

guarding jeffery epstein when he was in jail under a 24 hour suicide watch.

-90% jimmy

[Beastly Boy]

6. Deep down, after careful deliberation, crossing all the T's and dotting the I's, I most certainly

am ready to go out on a limb and say with confidence...

I don't know.

I hope I am wrong, I will be happy if I am proven wrong, I will be the first one to eat crow if i am wrong, but I still don't know.

[Eyeball_Kid]

7. I'm 99% certain he'll be indicted.

Similar to the paying of US Debt, the full faith and credit of the United States depends on indicting Donald Trump.

The citizenship must have beliefs that benefit the unity of the country. The Rule of Law is one of them. Without faith in the Rule of Law, we become a very different nation. We become ambivalent to the Constitution. We lose faith in our institutions. We think that the contract that exists between the voters and the elected officials is broken. Keeping the Rule of Law, in letter and in spirit, is a requirement for the nation to merely exist. Perhaps unfortunately, I think that there are too many prosecutors who believe the same thing. It's a common belief, and because prosecutors believe it, they'll bring charges, because THAT is one of the true expressions of sovereignty and self-governing. Prosecutions must prevail.

[Meadowoak]

8. Yes

[GusBob]

9. Last I heard it was imminent

But I think folks were reading into her words

He will be running for president

God help us

[Bettie]

10. No

he'll never pay for anything.

[Pobeka]

11. I think he will certainly be indicted.

Will he drag out every proceeding and try every trick in the book to avoid accountability, certainly he will.

I think Garland appointed Jack Smith to do what needs to be done, and Garland knows this ain't his cup of tea, but Jack Smith drinks gallons of that kind of tea.

[msongs]

13. no nt

[BWdem4life]

15. People like Trump

are the reason we need an imaginary place like Hell.

[Frasier Balzov]

20. Because we get comfort from the hope there is justice in the afterlife.

Whenever we find it absent in this life.

[Jarqui]

16. I think there are around four grand juries going, DC, NY, GA & FL

There might be something going in MI.

From what we know (which isn't enough), they seem to have good cases in DC, NY, GA & FL.

I've heard a couple of respected legal minds say recently that you do not convene a grand jury unless the chances of getting an indictment are around 90%.

Therefore, chances of a single grand jury not returning an indictment are roughly 10% (one in ten)

On that basis, the chances of all four of those grand juries not returning an indictment would roughly calculate to be about 0.01%. So 99.99% chance of indictment on that basis. Reality is probably less than that because of how high profile the case is and we have Republicans who will put their thumb on the scale wherever they can.

However, heavy odds from that are he gets indicted.

It is in the GOP's interest that he get indicted because it opens the door to 2024 candidates who will have a better shot at winning. They'll cut his throat.

Does that mean we get a conviction? Waste of time speculating until we see the case.

Does that mean he might go to jail? I think he'll run before it comes to that.

[The Grand Illuminist]

28. The complete and total blame.....

Are the people who voted for him. He is just a salesman.

[Autumn]

18. No.

[NBachers]

19. Multiple crimes, whittled down to 1 or 2 aw shucks charges, then You're free to go now, little puppy

[fierywoman]

21. Yes.

[Corgigal]

22. Should have been 20 years ago.

I thought this country would never allow him to run for President, forget winning the whole thing.
I’m a NY’er, we all knew what he was.

I mean this country can be mean as hell, thought Trump would fear it.

All completely wrong..

[Captain Zero]

39. Should have been 35-40 years ago, but...

Rudy the Scumbag was in charge of the SDNY prosecutors office then.

[WheelWalker]

23. Most certainly. I put the odds 100-1 he'll live to be indicted and will be indicted.

I'd bet the farm.

[elleng]

24. Yes.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/01/15/merrick-garland-donald-trump-00066769

[Ohio Joe]

29. Very good article

Thank you for the link!

[elleng]

35. I thought it would be helpful.

[Tree Lady]

25. Yes my friend whose son works for DOJ

says it will happen in the next few months. Just not fast enough for people here.

Every time I talk to her she manages to convince me. I see her Friday maybe with a update.

[BlackSkimmer]

71. Wow! And here people say the DOJ doesn't leak!

That's a bit worrisome, despite the news.

[Tree Lady]

77. Believe me she is guessing to

Her son gives her no real info.

[The Grand Illuminist]

27. Hope for the best, expect the worst.

In this case, though, the best bet is expect the worst.

[area51]

31. No, I don't think he will. n/t

[RussBLib]

32. Yes

The evidence has piled up against him like never before. If this country does not indict him, them all is lost.

[Kablooie]

33. Only civil suits.

He will never be indicted on any criminal charge.
The ones that are expected may turn into monetary reparations only.

Everyone knows that if a single MAGA jerk gets on the jury Trump will go free. Evidence will not make any difference to these imbeciles and our system allows them to ignore it and vote their prejudices instead.

[HubertHeaver]

44. That single MAGA jerk would have to be much smarter than the avereage

MAGA jerk. Otherwise, he blows his cover.

[Kablooie]

51. Depends on how many of them are in the jury pool.

A lawyer might use up all his strikes and 1 MAGA asshole is left so Trump walks free.

[newdayneeded]

62. This right here!

There's no way a MAGA won't be on that jury!

Hell, I'll go one step farther. I bet it's a right wing judge for the trial.

Either way, he's not getting indicted.

[Fiendish Thingy]

34. Yes. Nt

[blueinredohio]

36. Nope.

[Silent3]

37. I'm very cynical about it. Probably, eventually, on something

But it's been a pathetic shitshow for things to have been dragged out so long already.

We've already demonstrated to future would-be coup plotters that if they're just a bit smarter and more organized than Trump (hardly a high bar) that our "justice" system will be too damned slow and toothless to stop them.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

41. Yes, I believe that TFG will be indicted

I like the Georgia state law RICO case and the Mar-a-Lago document cases. While not an indictment, the NY AG civil fraud case may well hit TFG where it hurts and bankrupt him

[mchill]

42. This week!!!

I’m manifesting it!
Besides…
We are at “imminent” plus 14 days now.
“Imminent” + 21 days is no longer imminent.

[newdayneeded]

63. lol!

it'll be + 28 days soon

[mchill]

66. When you lose track of "imminent"

It is surely past imminent
Feels like an eternity—and btw, wasn't that GA judge suppose to rule in “imminent” plus 2 days? Where is that ruling?

[BlackSkimmer]

72. Yes, I still remember when the indictment of Gaetz was announced here as "imminent."

Sigh.

[meadowlander]

43. Yes, for something. But I'm not sure it will be big enough or timely enough to stop a 2024 run.

[BigmanPigman]

45. Nope.

There is no justice.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

46. Hell No

I have zero faith in Letitia James, Bragg, Georgia prosecutors or Garland. But hey they did get Cohen and Weiselberg. I think its all a dog and pony show. I think anyone who actually thinks he will be, well you're adorable in your naivete.

[betsuni]

47. He won't be president again no matter what.

[pecosbob]

48. (From a post I made a couple of days ago) I do not believe Trump will ever be incarcerated

Our justice system has never been particularly capable of jailing rich politically-connected white people. It has repeatedly crumbled when faced with political pressure and failed at it's mission. The Great Sedition Trial is a good example of justice denied by political cronyism as multiple members of Congress were involved with aiding freaking German saboteurs and afterward exerted pressure on DOJ to end the investigation. About the only time these rich politically-connected individuals go to jail is when they steal from other rich people, like Madoff or they constitute a serious threat to other rich politically-connected people such as Epstein.

Sure there are a few exceptions but follow this adage and you will be correct 95% of the time...I call 'em like I see 'em.

[royable]

49. Just a little daydream, skipping the indictment stage.

Just a little daydream, for when I go to my happy place, and I'm sure most any nit-picker could find plenty of holes, and we all could still be appalled at the course of justice not being properly followed, but...

A SWAT team drops into Merde-a-Lago, and within two minutes TFG is cuffed, gagged, hooded, and loaded onto a helicopter. He's then taken to Guantanamo and put into solitary confinement to serve five hundred thousand consecutive life terms as a traitor, international terrorist and mass murderer. And he's never allowed to pass a message to the public for the rest of his days. And we never have to see his voice or any new video ever again.

And I'm being kind. Look what happened to Osama bin Laden, who was only responsible for a few thousand deaths, instead of hundreds of thousands.

[SoCalDavidS]

50. In Around 7 Hours, The Usual Suspects Will Be Here To Tell Us All The Reasons He'll Be Indicted Soon

All I can see is Lucy and her football.

[betsuni]

53. Bookmarking. "The Usual Suspects"

[newdayneeded]

64. And they're using words like imminent

[GoodRaisin]

52. No.

[RocRizzo55]

56. He better get indicted

Or other people might take the law into their own hands. Perhaps another country can indict him for going against some international law..

[Shrek]

57. No n/t

[Sancho]

58. No...he will die before he is indicted

1.) Indicting the orange asshole will cause lots of violence; threats to anyone involved in the process
2.) For many people, simply taking down the family business would be punishment enough
3.) There are still LOTS of wealthy and powerful people who will continue protection
4.) The GOP has rigged the courts, not to mention the hung juries that would result
5.) He could release lots of intel if convicted

At most he will lose some cases against his company, and maybe some state crimes, but none will result in jail time.

[Emile]

59. Rule of law is for the peon class. He will never

be prosecuted.

[fightforfreedom]

60. Willis will answer this question soon.

All we can do is wait. The same goes for Garland and Smith. I still believe their investigations are smoking gun cases that must be prosecuted. I have lost a lot of faith in the SNDY and Manhattan office. It's their job to prosecute financial crimes and they have failed for decades. Corruption? Rudy and Trump, best friends who were on the opposite sides of law for years in NY??????

[BlackSkimmer]

73. Is soon different from imminent?

How do you define either?

[newdayneeded]

61. Nope,

it's obvious to me Garland is just running out the clock.

[RobinA]

65. Not Deep Down,

not on the surface. I will be very surprised if he is indicted. And I don't care. I just want him gone by whatever means legal. Off the national stage for good. Jail, resounding loss in election, narrow loss in election, trips and breaks his leg, psychotic break, long COVID... Just get him out of here once and for all and that will be enough for me.

Of course, I think he's a symptom not the problem, so we'll still be stuck with the fertile soil he sprang from.

[BlackSkimmer]

67. Nope. nt

[obnoxiousdrunk]

69. No. n/t

[myohmy2]

70. no...

...would cause too much turmoil and uncertainty across the ruling class...

...and we can't have that...

[Lettuce Be]

75. Yes, this should be a poll

[we can do it]

76. Yes

[BWdem4life]

78. kick!
