Guilty As F**king Sin!

July 11 is sentencing for Trump.

Damn, a former U.S. president is a convicted felon.

Donald J. Trump has a 45% chance of winning. It is a real fucked up situation for Republicans. Should they support a man who is convicted of 34 felonies?

Is this the "law and order" party?

They will defend this. Disgraceful Republicans want people of color to be held accountable for crimes. They loose their shit when the king of white privilege. Trump is very definition

Nikki Haley, you want to reenter the race?

Anyway, the presumptive Republican nominee is the first major candidate to ever be convicted of crimes against the state.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Republican lawmakers, Democratic lawmakers, world leaders, far right agitators, progressive agitators, historians and you the reader are informed about the former president's conviction.

Vindication.

At 5pm, the jury in Manhattan County Superior Court had convicted Trump with falsifying documents to keep an embarrassing story from reaching the election.

Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and David Pecker are vindicated. The Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg proved his case that Trump lead a conspiracy of election interference.

Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing hearing for July 11. Trump's sentence is up to the judge, and it could include prison time or probation.

Prosecutors accused Trump of taking part in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 presidential election and an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, which included concealing a hush money payment to an adult film star.

A felony conviction of a former president or party frontrunner is unprecedented, but Trump, who is the 2024 presumptive GOP nominee, can still run for office.

Trump called the jury's decision a "disgrace" and said the "real verdict" will come during the presidential election on November 5. Biden said on social media that his 2024 rival can only be defeated at the ballot box.

The indictment, the first of a former U.S. president, was approved by a Manhattan grand jury on March 30, 2023. Trump traveled from his residence in Florida to New York City on April 3, 2023, where he surrendered to the Manhattan DA's office and was arraigned the next day. Trump pleaded not guilty and stated that he would continue to campaign for the 2024 presidential election if convicted. The trial began on April 15, 2024. On April 30, 2024, Trump also became the first U.S. president to be held in criminal contempt of court, due to comments he made earlier in the month about individuals involved with the trial.

Before, during, and after the trial, the defense made requests for the case to be delayed or dismissed, for the judge to recuse himself, and for a mistrial; these motions were unsuccessful. The prosecution argued that Trump's 2016 campaign sought to benefit from the payment of hush money to Daniels through Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, who was allegedly reimbursed via a false retainer agreement. The prosecution rested on May 20, 2024, after calling 20 witnesses. The defense argued that Trump was unaware of any allegedly unlawful scheme, that Cohen was unreliable as a witness, and that the retainer agreement between them was valid. The defense rested on May 21, 2024, after calling two witnesses.
