You know what they should do to take the politics out of prosecution.
They should get random citizens in as a group. You know like they do when there is a jury for a trial. But they'd just listen to the evidence the DA has, and then determine if there is enough evidence to lay a charge.
That way this large group of impartial citizens, or a 'grand jury' if you will, would be the one that determines if there is a charge or an 'indictment' laid.
This would mean that even if there was a District Attorney that was out to get someone, there'd be a check and a balance to ensure there isn't a malacious or political prosecution.
Just a thought.
LMAO, why did Yoho thank this post? Do they not understand sarcasm, or the way the judicial system currently works?
It'd be a lot funnier if it wasn't really sad.

Everyone's talking about Yoho but can we all agree that GirlySports is equally as terrible with her just asking questions routine and basic surface level knowledge of topics.

The only thing political about this is the fact that Trump wasn't charged 3 years ago when it was originally tried.
This is basically the same charge that was brought against Kerry (a democrat), in the same circumstance as Cohen (who was found guilty), with documentary evidence that the aspect of Kerry charges that were mitigating do not apply in this case (they have the messages that prove this was about the election and not about protecting his image as Kerry successfully argued).
And everyone should be reminded this is universally regarded as the least serious and weakest case of the 3 criminal investigations he is facing. Should any of the other 3 not be charged that would be the political travesty.

People should be so turned off by this. “Have a different opinion on a political party, can we all agree to attack blank poster.”
Argue your point not attack posters. Is that what you really want ? 13 drones in a thread saying the exact same thing and high fiving each other?
Pathetic.

Question: Would you like to opine why about three-quarters of Americans say politics played at least some role in the decision to indict Trump?

Jesus, what a sh-t post.
For whatever faults she may have, at least GirlySports will engage in discussion when replied to. I will happily take that over dropping random Twitter turds or the usual drive-bys.

Yeah, she used to drive me nuts, but for the past year or so I think she's gotten better.
Ultimately, she's a conservative and their worldview is just incompatible with reality so her posts are often going to appear hypocritical and stupid because they can't not. As a contributor here, though? A million times better than Yoho.

Thanks. I'm actually not that conservative. I support left initiatives, UBI, housing, abortion, LGBTQ etc... Sometimes the discussion here is so far left I will 'ask a question' which annoys people or present a view that may explain why they're flabbergasted that there would be that viewpoint.
Like here when devo presented the stats that about three-quarters of Americans say politics played at least some role in the decision to indict Trump, including 52% who said it played a major role.
And then shock! Well, I don't think it's that shocking considering the timing of it with a new DA. Now I may be accused of basic surface level knowledge of topics but that's most of the population, which CP always calls stupid. In the end, I'm trying to be in the conversation which people complain there isn't enough of.

Nah, GirlySports contributes to this site more than you and the insult brigade whose sole purpose is the constant search of 'thanks'.

Girly's posts in the Other Sports section alone makes her a worthwhile contributor around here. Comparing her to Yoho is extremely lazy. Plus, has she ever posted a tweet lol.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted secret luxury trips from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow for more than two decades in apparent violation of a financial disclosure law, a ProPublica report revealed Thursday.
Thomas has vacationed on Crow’s 162-foot superyacht, flown on the real estate developer’s private jet and spent time at the GOP donor’s private resort and other exclusive retreats, ProPublica reported, citing documents and dozens of interviews.
Thomas, the 74-year-old conservative associate justice who has served on the nation’s highest court since 1991, has not reported the trips on his financial disclosures as required by law, the nonprofit newsroom reported.
Quote:
In 2019, shortly after the court shared its final opinion of the term, Clarence and Ginni Thomas took off on Crow’s private jet for a nine-day vacation in Indonesia aboard the donor’s yacht — a trip that cost more than $500,000, according to ProPublica.
The report also cited records showing that Thomas had been at Topridge at the same time as major GOP donors, corporate executives and a leader of the conservative American Enterprise Institute during a July 2017 trip.
Likely not rare for politicians and judges ..

Politics did play a role, he wasn't charged 3 years ago when this crime was originally convicted (successfully), for political reasons.
So they have to use some creative but realistic league theories to indict due to statute of limitation problems that only apply because of the extreme level of leniency give to the accused for political reasons.
Like here when devo presented the stats that about three-quarters of Americans say politics played at least some role in the decision to indict Trump, including 52% who said it played a major role.

well I do think you can look at these things from different angles. Of course you can't take politics out of the equation, but that is also true on the other side of the aisle and was especially true during Trumps time in office. Lots of GOP politicians would probably concede behind closed doors that Trump should have faced consequences for January 6 and so on, but he evaded that purely because of politics.
Does Alvin Bragg have ulterior motives? I honestly don't know, but it's more than possible. But playing the indictment down by calling it nothing more than a political witch hunt isn't exactly helpful because it conveniently distracts from the fact that we wouldn't be here if Trump hadn't done criminal or at least shady things that give ammunition to these DAs.

The question of whether politics played some role is pretty meaningless, because the real question of course is, what role exactly. The answer to which is most likely it played a role in every single thing related to the process, affecting things in multiple different ways, the sum of which can't be summarized as "good" or "bad".
It's Trump. Everything he does or doesn't do, and everything that's done to him or not done, is political in some way.
In case you weren't following this, Justin Jones has been expelled from the legislature and two other Democrat members are facing the same fate for participating in an anti-gun protest following the Nashville school shooting. Meanwhile the GOP apparently had a member urinate on another members chair in the chamber?!

Well I can assure you the idea of getting a thanks has never entered my mind. GirlySports is 100% better than Yoho, people playing devils advocate or just asking questions just annoys me.
