Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

The verdict came after a jury deliberated for less than twelve hours in the unprecedented first criminal trial against a US president. It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.

I’m sure this will be endlessly delayed by every kind of legal maneuver possible, and I personally don’t expect the sentence to include prison time, but I don’t care. The motherfucker has been found GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS. That’s good enough for me.

They don't even have to delay endlessly.

They just need to say it's all rigged against him, take the presidency and pardon himself and his cronies.

His base thinks falsifying records is "smart" and the banks are dumb for falling for it. They still think he's a stable genius

He can't pardon himself from a state crime.
