New York— Will Donald Trump go to prison? Could he pardon himself? What about the election? The first criminal conviction of a former American president raises a host of legal and political questions.
Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury Thursday of 34 felony counts related to a scheme during his 2016 presidential campaign to pay off a porn actor who said the two had sex. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee denies having sex with Stormy Daniels, has said he did nothing wrong and slammed the jury’s verdict.
Here are answers to some of the biggest questions surrounding Trump’s conviction:

Imagine asking AP and expecting to get a straight answer.

Still. Nobody can say exactly what this case was about. Hush money. Labeling tax entries incorrectly. Federal election related stuff. Aliens. Sheez. 34 felony counts. How much have Obama, Biden and Clinton paid out in "hush money" or fines for federal election hanky panky over the years? If any, and we're going down that path, why aren't they sitting in front of a Conservative, Republican judge?

My questions were still not answered! What exactly were the crimes that Donald Trump was convicted of? If it was paying "hush money" to keep an unflattering story out of the news during an election causing "election interference", I want to know when Alvin Bragg will be bringing charges against Joe Biden for having the Hunter laptop story killed. I want to know when Bragg will be hauling Hillary into court for her false accounting entries for her election interference. When will Bill Clinton be dragged into court for his bimbo eruptions squad led by Hillary? WHat about all of the Congressmen and Senators who pay hush money? Where is the investigation into them? Didn't Bragg say that what he did to Trump is what they do everyday? Inquiring minds want to know!

I don't take advice from liars, allies of terrorists and contemptible fantasy writers who try to sell their tripe as News.

True story: a few years ago, whenever I clicked on a link to an Associated Press, the browser tab would pop up labeled:
"News from the Ass..."

Unfortunately, except for conservative sources, the AP's version is the only one out there. How to counter it? That is the question.

AssPress? There is nothing that they'll say that I'll believe.

They have put Trump under so much stress, he is 77, that he could collapse under it all. It will be murder, but that is the way the Democrats will get away with murder. The supporters need to step up and take some of the stress off. It can be financial support, passive resistance, or throwing your Democrat friends out of the house. Get real. The Democrats intend to put Trump in jail or confine him to MAL. We are the target. The Democrats already took many of our jobs, and our freedom with covid. Now they are taking our cars, appliances, food supply, and medical freedom. The Democrats intend to select the next President, and for you to own nothing, and like it. Trump's lawyers should not be surprised with this verdict, and should have had immediate actions in response, instead of mild statements of outrage. Republicans have done nothing for years, and will do nothing for more years. We cannot stand around until Nov 5, while Trump is kept off the campaign trail. This is not going to work, and Republicans need to come back to DC in emergency session to get into action now.

What is going to make this worse for me is that when (or if) Hunter is found guilty, he will get a slap on the wrist, while Trump will have the book thrown at him by this corrupt judge.

More guesswork and the usual nonsense from the AssPress. Save yourself some time...

I think the best strategy for President Trump is to go silent on this matter and let the Democrats wonder what he is up to. In the meantime campaign on Biden's stupidity, the latest being to take our hard earned money and rebuild a terrorist regime that would happily kill all us "Infidels".
My personal dilemma is how does someone who was blackmailing Trump become the innocent person? What makes it worse, she was paid to keep her mouth shut and she didn't. I would make her pay the money back and press extortion charges on her.
