So, I assume everyone has heard of the verdict by the New York judge ... the one who gave Mr. Trump's legal team a ton of "reversable error" to get the conviction of President Trump (at the end of this term he will be called "Former President" or "fmr President" ... right now he is either "President Trump" or "Presiden-elect Trump")
Wait - I've lost my train of thought ... oh yeah ...
The verdict is in ... Mr. Trump has received a sentence of "UNCONDITIONAL Discharge" ...
Kind of interesting, really ... but it's what I think most people would have gotten in NYC for a simular crime.
Many of the major news channels were hoping/rooting for a "Conditional Discharge" meaning simply ... if Trump had gotten arrested for ANYTHING - jaywalking, littering, loittering, spitting on the ground, etc - any little thing - then he would be subject to jail time, without regard to why nor when it happened .... and, as we know, the Dems have a ton of cases lined up ...
But the judge gave an "UNCONDITIONAL" Discharge .... basically, it's a slap on the wrist ... it says "you've been a bad boy, don't do it anymore"
The only thing is .... This case should have NEVER even made it INTO THE COURT SYSTEM!!!!
Why??
Because of "Statute of Limitations" had run out on ALL the accounting issues ....
Then, they had to claim it was a "RICO violation" - think "mobsters", think "The Godfather" or "The Sopranos", think "John Gotti", "Al Capone" aka "scarface"...
Actually, Al Capone is probably the closest we will get to how things were applied to Trump ... Capone was also caught on an accounting problem - only his was "Tax Evasion" ... Trump's was "falsefying records" ...
Although - Trump tried to argue that he was not responsible for how items had been recorded - he simply signed the documentts ...
Kind of like when you have a tax-guy do your taxes, and if he's a bit loose with the catagories, YOU are the one who the IRS looks to for an accounting .... in most cases.
In this case, they should have looked to Trumps accounting department to find out what was going on.
As a felon, Trump can:
NOT own a gun ... well, "weapon", the reporter said "gun" but felons cannot own shotguns nor rifles ... I don't know about bows/arrows (remember the "Dukes of Hazzard" tv show?)
CAN vote in Florida - as it stands right now ... I, personally, don't think felons should have the right to vote - but then, I guess I'm a Baby Boomer (I don't think so, but they say I am).
He has to give a DNA sample to the New York crime lab ... wait ... why?? This wasn't that sort of crime! This was a bookkeeping error, not an assault, rape, or murder ... this is hosed up, man.
