I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that the only real chance DJT has here is in the Federal appeals courts.Assuming that the trials (Manhattan,DC,Miami and Atlanta occur before the election he'll be convicted in all four. And of course state appeals courts won't reverse anything...so Federal appeals courts will be his only real option.

And by that time the damage,election-wise,will have already been done.

You've gotta give Rat Party Headquarters credit...they're clearly utterly depraved and amoral...but they sure have that lawfare thing mastered.

They called Gotti the Teflon Don until they finally got him. Don’t underestimate a weaponized Justice department.

We are now a banana republic

Good odds with leftist judges and a jury pool filled with Trump haters?

DOJ and the courts decided he was guilty before they decided on the charges.

The RATS are great at judge shopping.Trump needs the best legal representation and so far they have been questionable at best.

His defense is he followed the law the same as other Presidents. That used to be a strong legal defense until now.

But Andy McCarthy and the Nazi Ukraine-firsters here said that Trump is toast (and they hope he is).

I just hope that trump assembles a very solid legal defense team.

I’ve left an analysis here several times for what it’s worth

The big supposed admission by trump that leads off the indictment is not an admission that he never declassified the documents.

He tells the journalist not to come too close to the document because the information in it is still secret. Therefore he did not try to hand it to the journalist for reading at least as best we can tell.

And he States clearly that when he was president he could declassify this but he cannot declassify it any longer and that the information is still secret.

The only logical interpretation of his remarks is that he cannot declassify it for the purpose of showing it to the journalist because the information in the document is still secret, however trump has it in his possession because he declares a fighter by bringing it with him when he left the White House.

If you think that’s a technical reading of his words, keep in mind they are trying to convict him using his words.So on this one they have to live and die based on what he actually said.

Trump is not an attorney and what he said to the journalist made absolute sense. He was holding something that he had a right to bring with him but which he did not have the ability to hand over to the journalist directly.

The most interesting piece of reporting in the past 24 hours is by longtime Florida political reporter Marc Caputo over at The Messenger, who points out that by indicting Trump in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, federal prosecutors are operating in a venue much more favorable to Trump than Washington, D.C., would be:

It will be called a kangaroo, deep state or banana republic court in time.

Geraghty missed the most important legal reason for the DOJ’s indicting Trump in FL—it had no other legal option, as required be Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution, which states:

“The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment;
shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State
where the said Crimes shall have been committed[.]”

Florida statutes 934.03-934.09 say for a person to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication when all of the parties to the communication have given prior consent to such interception. (e) It is unlawful to intercept any wire, oral, or electronic communication for the purpose of committing any criminal act.

The supposed recording was illegal and should not be admitted into evidence.

We need to know more about jury selection in Miami before we celebrate how helpful that location may be for Trump.

At least 12 Miami federal grand jurors just indicted Trump on every charge presented to it by a Hard Left fanatic prosecutor.

We do not know what percentage the grand jury vote was, but we can be absolutely certain that the Department of Justice believed that a Miami grand jury would indict on every charge presented to it.

In the 2020 election, Trump lost Miami-Dade County by 7.3%.

My prediction - the best Miami outcome Conservatives can hope for is a hung jury on all charges.

I certainly hope he’s right. But Mark Levin was less optimistic when he noted that it takes a simple majority (17) to indict.

Biden is cranking up the pressure on the DOJ to take Trump out asap he knows indictments on him are nearing on his family syndicate business he has to make sure a democrat gets elected it’s the only thing that save him and family from prison.

More money floating around D.C. than in Vegas now making the election rigging look like a craps game.

People in government willing to use their office criminally and who have the backing of most of the judiciary and all of the MSM can only be stopped one way. Stop hoping for God or someone with authority to wave a wand and thwart this massive wave of criminality. Add in that here are places in this country where the deepstate could “convince” a “jury” that Donald Trump raped his daughter.

The venue is so good they were able to find a GJ willing to indict him on flimsy charges.
