    He's very unlikely to go to prison on this one, but beyond the political consequences, this was considered to be the hardest case to prove, and they went 34 for 34. It also means that the sentencing guidelines for other cases take into account that he's a 34-time felon.

    If he gets sent to jail for one of the other crimes, then pardons himself when voted in… America will be the cesspit of world politics.

    Oh wow! Yep, the fidelity of the States comes down to the fate of a misogynist billionaire the colour of Lisa Simpson.

    “Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.

    That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction.

    It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law. If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict.

    In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.”

    The USA will only return to some kind of normality once Trump and his family are out of politics for good.

    It doesn’t matter who wrote it. It’s true.

    This entire thing is a charade and a scam. In fact, let’s call it what it is - election interference.

    It’s a disgrace.
