The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 430 - Politics and Economics

So I guess Cohen and his lawyers are idiots for pleading guilty that it was a campaign donation, the DOJ prosecutors and chain of command are idiots that was a campaign donation. And the judge-yes the judge is a really big idiot for accepting the built plea that it was a campaign donation. Love how the FOX (real) judge Nap says he’s screwed.

that's it for the trial where he pled not guilty and got convicted on 8 of 18 looking at 20 years. but he pled guilty in another one in DC where he was caught witness tampering so the judge in that one probably won't say manny led a blameless life at his sentencing.

also there's the possibility that state charges could come later but none yet

Seems standard for bank fraud and tax evasion.

Not that that is right.

There's a Trump Fordham transcript floating around on Twitter that's supposedly from his first semester. It's likely fake, but I'm hoping not... He has a staggering 1.28 GPA, including straight failing Statistics...

Basically it looks like a modern transcript, so either someone at Fordham in the admissions office printed it out recently off their system, which in theory could be done if they entered old records into their system... or someone who works there printed it out as a joke... or someone Photoshopped a Fordham transcript.

everything i learned in college we covered the **** they knew by 1960 in the first month

It's only the first semester, so he could have had a 1.28 then and pulled it up later. But there's probably a 95% chance this is fake. And yeah I'd imagine first semester college courses in the 1960's were super easy to pass. I can say that they were in 2004... Like the only time I came close to not passing a course, I literally only showed up like three times because it was like 8am on a Friday or something... and that was a senior year course on a somewhat tough subject matter. Still pulled it out.

I'm not saying it's easy to get A's, but it's pretty hard to just straight up fail.

david sklansky has implied that there used to be money to be made taking tests for other people. with that option available idk how trump doesn't just get his dad to pay for As when he needed it.

i mean he didn't go to law school or get an mba so his gpa almost certainly wasn't great, but i doubt he'd let it get below 2.0 without hiring some help. if it were available, idk i wasn't there, every college exam i've taken we had to show photo IDs

If trump was legitimately getting the grades he NEVER gets a 2.5 ever. He is a complete and total moron who has never read a single book in his life.

Offering someone a pardon in exchange for them not testifying against you is cut and dry obstruction, yes.

Do you really need to make the same post over and over again?

This is just wrong. Period.

In the 60s, a 2.5 gpa would put him right at average.

Granted this is Ivy League data.

I almost never went to class for undergrad and got above a 2.5 GPA.

Man I was super messed up back then.

Trump definitely ****ed up the SATs or highschool GPA. He wouldn't have ended up at Fordham otherwise.

He must have done at least OKAY at Fordham to transfer to UPenn. How he did at UPenn... probably okay since whatever he did at Fordham (possibly cheating) would also transfer well to UPenn classes.

They came to DC with a gleam in their eyes, left full of tears. So many young lives ruined.

No, it doesn't say what you think it says.

My statement "2.5 gpa is attainable by morons."

You post a graph that shows the average GPA is 2.5 back when Trump went to school.

If you think morons cannot attain average GPAs then you need to take a break from posting and read books. You're the one with #feelings itt.

Quit posting the same thing over and over...
