Trump and indictment - question.

Trump apologists -

You like to say that everything against him is a politically motivated "witch hunt", and that he has not been indicted of any crime.

Suppose he gets indicted and convicted by a jury. What will you say then? Will you accept reality that Trump is a criminal, or will you still whine and protest? Is there anything at all that would convince you Trump has committed crimes?

What if the Clinton family and their cronies were finally brought to justice? What if the Biden crime family was prosecuted for their crimes? What if the political class was treated no differently than the shrinking middle class?

We could play "what if..." games all day. I prefer to wait and see if the judicial system will work or if it has been so corrupted it is not salvageable. It has been questionable for decades.

@SlaveEt The question was double minded anyhow. How many times have they "not" been able to prosecute, or make accusations without viable evidence? Yet the same bunch spew their bs. They want you to think like them and be hypocritical in all their ways.

@SlaveEt If any Clintons and Bidens have committed crimes then they should face trial and if found guilty, LOCKED UP!
If any Trumps have committed crimes then they should face trial and if found guilty, LOCKED UP!

What's the problem here???

@SlaveEt My take on this is that people in general do things to their advantage, and usually that means occasionally doing things that cross a line (legal or moral) knowing they will likely not face punishment. This could be speeding or lying, or could be hush money payments or blackmail. Generally, the gravity of the transgression is proportional to the importance of the person. In that sense, I fully expect that any politician in any higher office has a few of these transgressions, the gravity of which is dependent upon the lens they are viewed through and the people doing the viewing.

In the case of Trump, I fully expect that he or his lawyers made hush money payments and did so in such a way as to hide the evidence. I expect many other politicians, celebrities, CEOs, athletes and the like have done the same (Clintons, for sure). My feeling is that prosecution in this case should find a way to settle this out of the public eye knowing the door that would be opened should they prosecute a former president for something that probably many others are guilty of. Unfortunately, that is the society we live in, and I am not sure I want to live in a society where every action by everyone is scrutinized. People only care because this is Trump. The problem is, Trump has done many other things, thrown many people under the bus, and generally made enemies. Had he had a relatively "normal" presidency I doubt people would care enough about Stormy Daniels to still be talking about it.

The election interference stuff, however, is an entirely different animal. That crosses a much bolder line.

That's not 'what if..' that's 'whataboutism' and you know damn well it is.

@walabby
There is no problem with your logic here sir. I totally agree with you. I just don't believe there is equal justice under the law anymore... if there ever really was any to begin with. Granted, the American judicial system is significantly better than most but as with all things man-made, there are flaws.

@trollslayer
Well stated🙌

@SlaveEt some of your statement is nonsense, but, I agree with your final statement, let us wait and see where this is going! Let everyone stop making lame comments about what if. Let us have justice actual work itself out.

@SlaveEt Bullshit! You know this is third world, banana republic shit. US doesn't throw their old leaders in jail

And that's what they want. All I'll say is payback and REVENGE are the sweetest things!
