Donald Trump Has 'Zero' Defense in Georgia Investigation: Akerman

Post by Libertas »

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... ar-AAYCVG4
Donald Trump has "zero" defense against a criminal investigation into whether him pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to tilt the election in his favor constitutes as election interference, said former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman on Sunday.


The ex-president is facing an investigation in the key swing state's Fulton County about whether or not his phone call with Raffensperger, whom Trump implored to "find" 11,780 votes to tilt the election in his favor, amounts to interfering in the election. The state's investigation is coupled with the House select committee that is investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol last year, which is seeking to determine the extent of Trump's involvement in inciting the violence.

The committee's now-televised hearings have received much attention, but Akerman said during an appearance on MSNBC's The Katie Phang Show that the investigation in Georgia is more likely to "send Donald Trump to prison" because the tapes could bolster the prosecution's case against him.
I sigh in your general direction.

This is what is wrong. This could be a very interesting topic....except. Any comments will be construed as a defense of trump. So I guess we will just watch it wither on the vine.
But, let's give it a chance for life. If you were defending trump what would you do?
Personally I would claim he was speaking hypothetically.
Whether or not he was is pure speculation also known as reasonable doubt.

Bottom line is trump is corrupt and without a doubt committed multiple crimes.
But imo he will never be charged.

From the article:
He has previously declared investigations against him as a "witch hunt," and has insisted on his innocence, while also continuing to repeat the baseless claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to widespread voter fraud.
You’ve made similar claims about “the left” going after him. Case in point: viewtopic.php?p=21018&hilit=Family#p21018

But because you lie to yourself about everything political, you speak out of both sides of your mouth. You can avoid this kind of confusion by first off stopping the lies to yourself about to defensiveness of Donald Trump amd your vote for Trump minions.

You think like a criminal.

From the article:
Akerman explained the recorded audio tapes could be difficult for the former president's defense team to defend in court. In fact, he argued Trump's only defense in the case would be "trying to somehow pick up on some ambiguity in the tape that he didn't really mean what he said."

It's funny how you always know EXACTLY what is in the innermost mind of Democrats. For instance you KNOW EXACTLY why Pelosi or Bernie would do if they had the power. You KNOW, for instance, that Bernie is a Stalinist that would turn America into a Communist dictatorship.

Because you KNOW his heart.

But you DON'T know what Trump meant? Because you never give a Democrat the benefit of the doubt.

You're defensive of Trump, period.

Not just in this thread, either.

It might be interesting if you actually DIDN'T always defend Trump.

First it was, Trump never committed any crimes. Then it was Trump never attempted a coup or tried to steal the election. It was just a protest. Now it’s, so what? He won’t be charged. Leave him alone.

It’s just one defense after another.

Sorry, when a former President attempts a hostile coup, they need to be made a example out of. If not, they will try again and succeed. Then America is toast.
