Does anyone else think this ends with Trump in prison? Does anyone else think this ends with Trump in prison?

I guess it's possible with the Epstein stuff, or an investigation into his charity bribing the lady in Florida, or something else he might do in the next couple months.

However, Democrats may not want to push for prosecution because he is doing such a good job wrecking the Republican party. As long as he is in the mix they won't be able to unite behind a Kasich type.

I approve of this post!

I would think there would be a much bigger chance of his businesses taking a giant hit after the election. And if his operations are the house of cards that some people suggest, then he could go under. I think all of that is a long shot, but it's definitely more probable than actually going to jail

Grunch: Yes, the velveteen prison of the White House as POTUS45.

I can see him being a frequent guest on Hannity, or maybe having a weekly show on FOX news. But building a media empire takes too much time and effort and is a roll of the dice. He's getting too old and fat to have the energy for it. I think his roar will diminish to a whimper after the election.
what if russian intelligence props up the channel/website through shell companies?

kgb probably killed breightbart and placed bannon in the ceo position with this whole thing planned out.

Ok MrWookie, why aren't there bans in this thread?

the donations to the politician investigating Trump University are pretty damning. did he donate to any other Florida politicians that tax year? The way he tried to hide it as well and to donate such an obscure election...

Most likely just a lot of lawsuits, but he's been involved in 3500 suits already, so what's new?
10-17-2016 , 02:17 AM
I don't think he'll be prosecuted for what he's done (thus far, that we know of), but I do expect him to die broke/in debt if he isn't already.

I'd like to think that the Trump brand is now toast. But sadly, he will almost certainly start his own media empire and reap riches from it.

You underestimate the numbers. 1/2 the population supports this turd. Win or lose, he'll come out fine. If anything, I think he'll come out better if/when he loses.
HRC has been through multiple partisan witch hunts and survived just fine. It's not remotely the same. Trump has been able to stay under law enforcement's radar despite being a full blown predator in his business life... Being rich allows you to play by a totally different set of rules than normal people play with.

I 100% guarantee you that if I short payed half the people Trump has I'd be at club fed right now. Maybe my perspective on his behavior is different because my own personal business depends on my customers paying me back... But I honestly care 1000x more about his business ethics than I do about anything else. There's simply no way I'd be ok with a full blown scammer being POTUS.

Go out and ask any small business person if they've ever done a job and had the customer decide after the work was done how much money they deserved to be paid... And then ask them what that was. It was theft.

Short paying someone is not a crime, it's a civil contract claim. If you don't pay your debts/obligations, you don't go to jail, you get sued. If you then lose the suit and have a judgement against you and refuse to pay that, then it constitutes a crime.

The contractor may feel it's theft and want to call it that, but it's not.

Not sure if stealing money from a Charity is a civil or criminal complaint, that said, Trump will be charged with stealing money from his fake Charity. Trump will end up in court over this, and like everything else in his life, he will weasel his way out of it. Trump will escape with a fine and restitution.

That depends entirely on how it's done and what kind of paper trail exists. I'll leave massaging statutes to find something chargeable to the brooklyn district attorneys office and the DOJ in that order.

Does anyone honestly think that Donald Trump doesn't plead no contest and get 5-10 after 3-4 search warrants get executed? We don't know very much about his business dealings. How does anyone honestly think the other 75% is going to be sterile given the sample we currently have?

The charity thing is just a great example of how Trump operates without any actual regard for the law. This is one of several reasons I'm almost certain that a hefty dose of sunshine would probably end with jail time.

Of course I 100% agree with you, but the sad fact is, his supporters simply don't care. He's a liar? So what? He's a con man? Big deal! He's a sexual predator? Who cares? Hillary is a crook!

The fact is, HRC DID steal this election afaic against Sanders. It's the one thing that Trump has right. The system IS rigged! She was the DNC's pick from the get-go and there was no way they were going to let a self identified socialist become the democratic nominee over Hillary. They'd scheme, lie, plot, cheat, and do whatever it took to beat him.

That said, a Trump presidency scares me to the core. If these leaked emails show that HRC murdered people it might give me some pause. Otherwise, I can't imagine anything that I could learn about her that would make me vote Trump. Hillary = typical politician. There's been a witch hunt on her for years and if this is the best they can come up with in some 30 years of her public service involvement, I'm okay with that.

But I think it's a shame that this is the best two people we have as choices. I also think we're getting dangerously close to being a royal country. 12 years of Bush, and now a potential 8 more years of a Clinton? That would be 28 out of the last 36 years this country has had a president from just two families! That just tells me something is very wrong with our political process and of course it's rigged!
