Trump has been charged by the Department of Justice with the following four counts:
-
A conspiracy to defraud the United States “by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election,” according to the special counsel’s office.
-
A conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified.
-
A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted.
-
Obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote.
In criminally charging former president Donald Trump for his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, federal prosecutors allege that Trump enlisted six co-conspirators to “assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power.”

I really want to see something come of this and I have a sliver of hope that it will, but I’m too tired to get excited about it.
How I’ve felt for almost 6 years now lol. It’s good to see action and I’ll support it in whatever way, I just don’t get my hopes up anymore.
How are they going to get an impartial jury?
I’ve been wondering about that, too. I mean, if they want people who haven’t already formed an opinion and read articles on the charges, they’re going to have to go to a hermitage.
You underestimate the complete lack of curiosity of your fellow American.
The scary thing is, it will probably be very easy to find people that have not been paying attention.
lol, your poor hopes…
I will buy the oldest single malt I can afford on the day I read the headline that it’s finally over and the cell doors are closed, but until then it’s just too much damn noise to keep up and try to stay somewhat sane. Fuck the entire GOP for making us have to wade through this shit constantly.
You know I’d glady share a drink with you in that day. It’d mean that there’s still some hope left in this world.
Same. Let’s plan a global cheers!
I doubt you’d have to plan much. If/When the day comes, there will be less alcohol in the world by the next morning.
I hope this isn’t like the beer pods they installed in Cleveland for when the browns win a game. Those didn’t get use for a very long time lol
I’d join you for that malt but I’m pretty sure they’re going to drag this out for the very high chance he’ll die before he faces consequences, because they’re too afraid of what will happen if he faces consequences.
The DOJ wouldn’t have brought these charges unless they knew they would stick.
Something like 99% of cases that DOJ brings charges for are won, but that’s mostly because 97% of the defendants please guilty. 25% of those that fight are acquited, so still pretty good chances that he goes to jail from this.
Still, the first GOP president will just pardon him, so even if we win, we’ll eventually lose.
Lol GA & NY.
Can Kemp pardon him in GA?
As far as I understand it, governors can’t pardon.
Michael Cohen went to trial where Trump was “Individual-1”, yet for some reason Trump seemed to have never gotten punished for that one.
He has literally been charged in New York relating to the hush money payments that Michael Cohen went to prison over. So this isn’t exactly true.
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
When it comes to things like this I just have to ask one question: does the accused have an ass ton of money? If not, uh oh looks like some jail time coming. If yes, well then carry on, nothing to see here.
Bernie Madoff had tens of billions of dollars. Epstein was rich, so was Weinstein.
If you piss off the wrong people (or you’re dangerous to the wrong people) cash can’t save you.
