Hemlock please…
I suspect this post to be removed quickly, but here goes…
Oh, and if not hopefully no typo’s will be inserted later; to make me look dumb of course, please don’t do that.
Just pass the damned Hemlock already will Ya’.
OK, while FOX news covers the Britney Legal saga, the Trump Legal one goes wholly ignored.
Ok I get it, but it is news worthy, come on Sean…
I’m going to speak truth here as it is, rather than I see it, and not about any guilt or innocence, but rather legal process.
One word, “DISCOVERY”, Discovery people!
What is Discovery?
Watching, and hearing all the great legal minds pontificate about this matter; CNN.
I found myself having a, “Seriously, are you kidding me,” moment; as I often have lately when watching CNN legal minds bloviate on this Trump legal matter.
Are there any legal minds there that actually have taken a case to trial?
What ever ones opinion is about this legal matter, this, “small time” legal case, it really is just getting started.
If Trump Family did not do anything wrong then they will be fine, but if they did, then well that’s a horse of another color, jumpsuit orange.
And this is why.
Top New York Prosecutor initially wanted Trump on various criminal charges related to falsifying documents for ill gotten enrichment, but Weisellburg wouldn’t play along with the Prosecutor to that end.
So Trump Org., and Weisellburg now are being charged criminally for a “so called minor” infraction.
Now, there is an actual criminal case, and Weisellburg has pled,”not guilty” to it.
Now they move to trial.
The next phase in any criminal trial is… Discovery… good you remembered.
Discovery is mandatory.
Discovery is where both sides show the each other the evidence they have to convict or exonerate etc…
It’s a, you show me yours, and I’ll show you mine kinda’ deal.
In this case the Prosecutor will ask for all kinds of tax related documents, as this is essentially a tax fraud case, and Trump Org., and Weisellburg will have to comply.
They can ignore it for about 30 days, but a motion to compel will happen, and the Judge will order they comply with Prosecutions documents request.
And they can still refuse, then a “good cause” motion will be filed asking the Judge to insert a forensic body directly into Trump Org., and Weisellburg to get the legally required, and requested documents, and what ever else they just so happen to find.
In short a trial now is happening, compelling Discovery, even by Compulsory Process if needed, and ALL of Trump Orgs. tax records will be made available to the New York Prosecutors Office.
If any other criminal activity is then “Discovered” therein, like those pertaining to the Prosecutors initial claims of criminality, then it will be jumpsuit orange time.
All the pundints, and even some legal scholars seem clueless as to how a trial actually moves through a court.
Discovery is no joke.
Discovery can be done in less than 90 days.
If there is no other there, there, then the Trump family will be fine. If there is some other criminal matter that is “Discovered”, via “Discovery” then it will be prosecuted separately.
This, “minor charge” nonsense, is just not accurate.
This minor charge is the entrada’ this Prosecutor needs, and quite frankly has always had, if Weisellburg wouldn’t play ball.
I don’t know New Yorks records standards for ongoing criminal proceedings, but these Discoverable documents might be publicly purveyed in real time.
I made no assertion of guilt, or innocence, but rather have laid out a legal frame work for getting the tax documents Trump has always kept close the vest, and is through this coming “Discovery” phase.
I know, I know, now the Hemlock, please…
