I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

I don’t think Trump will spend a day in prison. Simply because they don’t want to set a precedent, that a u.s. president can go to jail.
Worst that might happen, is that he’s barred from running again.
Wouldn’t that be a good precedent? Meaning that no one, no matter the position or how rich he is is above the law.
You would think. The reasoning is that you don’t want presidents being afraid of political opponents going after them for decisions they making while they’re president. Not that I agree with that logic. Trump needs to be made an example of.
Wouldn’t he have to be convicted of something in order to be barred? What criteria other than a conviction in a court of law could be used to disqualify him?
State cases will definitely put him in jail. They don’t care about any of the political nonsense and honestly I’m not seeing the DoJ backing down either.
Honestly if they dont put him away i think it will only embolden his group to make them feel they all are untouchable.
He will be found guilty and the given a presidential pardon by Joe Biden. Joe will make him verbally concede the election in return, maybe more.
You inhaled something but it wasn’t vegetables
Relax buddy it’s just a silly prediction :) I’m sure if a year ago I told you what was going to happen one years time, the reactions would be similar.
Nixon was pardoned and it’s the only comparable event in history, so it’s plausible. If there isn’t a remind me bot on Lemmy I’ll be sad… either way:
!Remindme one year “did Biden have Trump concede the 2020 election results?”
Sorry that seems… implausible.
