It's not a "clown take". Don't insult me for expressing my opinion.

I want Trump to go to prison as much as anybody, but this case is some weak ass sh!t.
In comparison to the other potential cases, I agree, it's a weak case. But sometimes to get the big players, who have never faced consequences before, you have to get them on trivial shyt. Like Al Capone and taxes. I mean he murdered people, never got in trouble for it. The tax case was weak in comparison to murder, but it was only the tax case that got him in real legal consequences.

The following is why multiple legal experts are saying this case will be hard to prosecute:

As Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan DA’s office who played a significant role in the Trump investigation prior to his resignation in 2022, wrote in a recent book, a key legal question that will determine whether Trump can be charged under the felony version of New York’s false records law has never been resolved by any appellate court in the state of New York.

The felony statute requires Bragg to prove that Trump falsified records to cover up a crime. Bragg has evidence that Trump acted to cover up a federal crime, but it is not clear that Bragg is allowed to point to a federal crime in order to charge Trump under the New York state law.

The answer to this “gnarly legal question,” as Pomerantz put it, is simply unknown. So there is a serious risk that a New York judge will toss out the charges against Trump on technical legal grounds unrelated to the former president’s actual conduct.

And even if Bragg’s legal team convinces New York’s own courts that this prosecution may move forward, there is also a very real danger that the Supreme Court of the United States, with its GOP-appointed supermajority, could decide that it needs to weigh in on whether Trump should be shielded from this prosecution.

The Supreme Court has long held, under a doctrine known as the “rule of lenity,” that “fair warning should be given to the world, in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed.” Thus, when the meaning of a criminal statute is unclear, the Constitution sometimes requires that statute to be read narrowly because an unclear criminal law did not give potential defendants “fair warning” that their conduct was illegal.

Yeah, I agree. That's why I said in my original post that I was waiting on the Georgia case with DA Fani Willis.

These other guys are acting like I said something crazy - just expressing a different opinion.
