All it takes is 1 maga fool on the jury to force a mis-trial.Maybe I'm naive, but I actually do. I mean, let's be clear: IF you get a trial to a jury, they're gonna rule correctly about 99.9% of the time. The obvious misses like, say, OJ Simpson or perhaps Casey Anthony tend to involve celebrities, horribly bad lawyers who probably should be selling aluminum siding in Yazoo City, or some combination of both.
The more difficult thing might be getting it to trial in the first place. Trump was never at any time popular with even a majority of the population (his highest approval rating ever was 47%, and his ratings were the most consistent over a four-year period perhaps of any President ever). And we have about 60% of folks thinking he needs to be charged in this thing anyway.
If we can find a jury of 12 people in the city of DC that had never even heard of the name "Oliver North," we can impanel a jury of 12 people capable of handing down justice on Mango Mussolini, too.
Thank you for the Joe Friday flashbackI think Kinzinger is the most effective questioner so far. I like his style - no emotional appeal. Just facts.

and to think, that idiot was a tabloid/gossip rag sideshow until nbc graced us with his "no-holds-barred business acumen"There is ZERO chance Trump will get a jury conviction. Based on the % of people who support Trump an average jury would have 2-3 silent supporters. Also, how do you possibly protect said jury from tampering? Lastly, if you did get a conviction you would likely have to put the judge, jury, and prosecuting counsel in a witness protection program...
The only solution is to put his enablers in jail.
Yup but I still hope he gets charged and has to go to trial. Let it be known that the mistrial was 11 to 1 in favor of conviction.There is ZERO chance Trump will get a jury conviction.

Yes. It has to be realized that the vast majority of his base understands that he's guilty of all he's charged with - and are perfectly OK with it...Yup but I still hope he gets charged and has to go to trial. Let it be known that the mistrial was 11 to 1 in favor of conviction.
*reminder - click here*The bottom line for me is unless there is a price to pay for what he’s done then there is no deterrent to someone doing it again. To let him skate just invites a replay.
The problem is that when he's acquitted, assuming that as the most probably outcome, he runs again as the victim of the Deep State. His base will rally to that. It's definitely a two-edged sword...The bottom line for me is unless there is a price to pay for what he’s done then there is no deterrent to someone doing it again.

Deep Throat : No, heh, but it's touching. Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
