He was indicted by a grand jury for election interference.. do you know what that means? It doesn't men he did it. It doesn't mean he was found guilty. It just means the the grand jury finds probable cause. That's like a preliminary hearing. Only the prosecution presents evidence. The defense is not allowed to present evidence. The standard to indict is 51% probability. And only more than half the jurors have to find that 51%.
Trump is presumed innocent until he is found guilty. Your statement assumes that he did interfere with the election. When you make such a statement, you are part of the problem. EVERYONE has to have all their rights all the time, or rights don't exist for anyone. You can't pick and chose who's rights can get violated as you see fit.
These are obviously political prosecutions. All while Bush and Cheyney are free as birds. And SMith has resorted to some unusual tricks with the grand jury, including forming a grand jury in Washington, which is then bringing charges in different states, and saying that the jurrors don't have to agree on which of the charges there is probable cause on.
Have you had any personal experience with DAs? They are low life garbage. They have no care for about guilt or innocence. They just want a conviction for their record and to justify their fat salaries. I have a buddy doing 10 years for a crime he didn't commit. I also have been falsely accused... At the preliminary hearing the judge up the lawbook and says "There's nothing in this book that says you can't steal your own property". I have the transcript. That's how fair the system is. Judges, DAs, cops... they can all rot in hell. Their violations of natural law is part of the reason this country is going down.
Bottom line is if you care about freedom... if you want to live in a free society, you have to support and uphold the freedoms of the people you don't like. That includes Trump. He has not been found guilty and deserves to be presumed innoncent until found guilty.
We don't have to fight and die for freedom like so many before us did. We just have to be cumulatively good enough to deserve to keep the freedoms earnd with the blood of patriots. Unfortunately that's not looking good right now. The way we treat each other on this forum is a reflection of the degradation of entire society. It's a shame.
If the grand jury finds probable cause to exist, then it will return a written statement of the charges called an "indictment." After that, the accused will go to trial. The grand jury normally hears only that evidence presented by an attorney for the government which tends to show the commission of a crime.
No judge, public defender, or criminal defense attorney is in the grand jury room when the prosecutor is presenting evidence. The prosecutor explains the law to the jury and works with them to gather evidence and hear witness testimony.
A prosecutor must not mislead the grand jury and should remain fair following the
rules of evidence. The prosecutor's office is not permitted to present evidence obtained in
violation of a defendant's constitutional rights. However, a grand jury can issue subpoenas and has broad power to see and hear almost anything the members would like.
The federal government is required to use grand juries for all felonies, though not misdemeanors, by the
Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
[5] All states can use them, but only half actually do with the others using only
preliminary hearings
Rule 6 of the
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure governs grand juries. It requires grand juries to be composed of 16 to 23 members and that 12 members must concur in an indictment.
[14][15] A grand jury is instructed to return an indictment if the
probable cause standard has been met.
Note: probable cause standard just requires the belief that the likelihood that a crime was committed to be 51%, that is more liekly than not. This is a very low standard. Since, traditionally, the defense doesn't get a say, it's pretty easy to get a grand jury to indict someone in most cases. In fact,
it's so easy in most cases that a former New York state chief judge, Sol Wachtler, famously remarked that a prosecutor could persuade a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.”
