Assuming he is found (edit: not) guilty, which is not guaranteed at all
- le-mark 2mo agoTrumps DOJ has destroyed credibility with federal judges all ove the country. They’ve had more than one case come back not guilty so far (subway sandwich guy). I’m optimistic they fail to get a guilty verdict here too.
- bluefirebrand 2mo agoThat's positive. I don't live in the USA and I sort of actively avoid news from there. It's good to hear that the federal courts aren't necessarily on Trump's side
- Loughla 2mo agoLike most things in the States, it depends VERY heavily on location. Some judges have plainly bent the knee. Some have gone the opposite. Some actually follow the intent of the law. Some follow it to the letter. Like everywhere else.
- mmcwilliams 2mo agoSandwich guy was acquitted by a jury, not a judge.
- m463 2mo agoIsn't a jury a check against the power of the court? (preventing those expedient "hanging judges")
- mmcwilliams 2mo agoI suppose you could word it that way but the statement given, that Trump's influence is failing with federal judges, isn't demonstrated by a jury refusing to convict someone. That is shown by judges throwing out cases; which has been happening.
