Will it be quick? Will it take a long time? Guilty? Not Guilty? Reactions to either from Trump supporters? Reactions to either from Trump haters? Reactions from the Exhausted Majority?

IMO he will be found guilty. Then reversed on appeal.

I think he'll be found guilty, based on the judges clear bias toward the prosecution.

Then reversed on appeal.

With a crooked prosecutor, a biased judge, and a stacked jury, it will be a miracle if there is a finding of not guilty in this proceeding.

The biased and crooked judge has left dozens of holes that will provide reasons for this farce to be overturned on appeal, but of course, as has been pointed out many times, the idiots on the Left don't really care about that. The point of this was to keep President Trump off the campaign trail. The process is the punishment.

The fact that this political show trial has been allowed to proceed should send chills up and down the spine of any American that has a functional brain.

Insane

The last I heard juries had to find unanamous consent on all crimes.

This judge is a little slanted.

Judge Merchan just told the jury that they do not need unanimity to convict. 4 could agree on one crime, 4 on a different one, and the other 4 on another. He said he would treat 4-4-4 as a unanimous verdict.

I read the instructions and that is not what he said. He clearly said that a verdict has to be unanimous on each of the indictments. What he said was that, for instance, if an indictment charges Trump with several specific illegal acts that jurors do not have to agree on which acts he committed as long as all agree that he is guilty of one or another. I believe this is a standard instruction.

It doesn't matter what the verdict is.

If it's guilty, Trump and his minions won't accept the results.

And if he's found Not Guilty, you think the anti-Trumpers will accept it? From what I've seen on social media, they are just as foaming at the mouth rabid as Trumpers are.

He can only be sentenced for a max of 4 years. So, he will be out in time to run again in 2028! :lol:

Oh, jeez, please not that. That means another four years of the Dims going after him until they get him on something that will actually keep him from running. If not, then another four years beyond of constant impeachment attempts. Who wants eight more years of this shit?

The only obvious one is Trump.

That's what the Dems are going for: They want you to be exhausted from their efforts to railroad Trump. This kangaroo court is just one example. It will be quickly dismissed on appeal.

My opinion:
He won’t spend any time in prison, which I think would be a correct sentence.

The verdict won’t dissuade his fans.

He won’t win on appeal.

He’ll get a lot of votes in November, but not enough for him to say the least election is rigged.

I haven’t talked to a single person who didn’t vote for him last time who say they will vote for him this time. I know, a relatively small sampling, but a sampling nonetheless.

He’ll also lose a lot of people who voted for him last time. There were 10s of thousands who voted for him because they didn’t want Biden, not that they were enamored with Trump. Those people probably won’t even vote for POTUS. I doubt if he’ll get any “new” people.
