“If We Think There’s a Trump Cult Already …”

With Lydia in South Africa covering their election, Ross out on parental leave and Michelle reporting from a saloon in Colorado, Carlos turns the mic over to his Times Opinion colleagues to respond to the news about Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in the New York hush-money trial.
The columnists Michelle Goldberg and David French - who calls himself “a recovering litigator” - join the deputy Opinion editor, Patrick Healy, to discuss Trump’s 34 guilty counts and debate what they mean for the former president, whether he’ll face jail time and how it will affect the 2024 presidential race.

    @@saluki7651 yes Martha was convicted for insider trading on her first offense and still got jail time. No cases have been brought against the congress people you mentioned, but no doubt if cases were brought, members of both parties would be found guilty. Trump shouldn’t be exempt from jail time just because he wasn’t convicted on previous charges. He currently has more convictions than Martha and should be serving time in prison instead of getting special treatment.

    The punishment Martha got for insider trading was 3 times the assets involved, which turned out to be a whopping $180,000 or so. She went to jail for lying to investigators. For that she got 3-5 months, I think and served less than 3, I think.

    You are not in uncharted waters. The law is perfectly clear. It prescribes that criminals be punished in accordance with set rules. None of them says presidents should be exempt. (The ultra vires invention by SCOTUS, only relates to civil cases.) Convicted felon takes precedence over former president. Good summary of the trial. But you have said nothing about the parade of contorted, specious excuses advocating corruption in sentencing, which would have made 1930s Germany proud. Mitigating factor is previous character, not previous convictions. You missed out his character is just about the worst possible. Fraudster, rapist, theft of documents, perversion of justice, bringing US into disrepute, etc etc. Presumably he is NOT on bail pending appeal. There are legal factors to be weighed, it's not what some journalist "presumes". Being in jail won't stop him being elected so that's not a reason. It will stop him from selling state secrets, absconding and further offending including inciting further violence and insurrection. Because his behaviour can be monitored to ensure he complies with the law.

People straight up saying they were Democrats their entire lives but after hearing the verdict they’re voting for Trump, that they donated money to his campaign. Others saying they hadn’t planned on voting this year but now they’re definitely going to vote for Trump specifically because of the verdict. I can’t wrap my head around it.

    There should be equality under rule of law. Being convicted on fraud charges is really not surprising, if you look at Trump's history. What is surprising is how he has so successfully managed to delay, delay, delay on the federal court cases in Washington and Florida, with the help of his special friends and contacts. You and I would not have those options, if we'd committed similar crimes. Equality under rule of law is important.

    Deranged. Just because you speak in measured tones does not mean you’re being fair and objective. In fact, it doesn’t even mean you’re not being hysterical. “Rampant criminality”? Seriously? I can hardly find a single real crime, besides MAYBE obstruction in the documents case, and there certainly isn’t a single crime that has not been committed openly (and mostly already adjudicated) that was not committed by other people on both sides of the political aisle. This man has been investigated more thoroughly and by more serious people than any other man in modern history (maybe ever) and all they could come up with is a fake RICO case for “election denialism”, a documents case that could as easily apply to any of the previous presidents and far back as Clinton but didn’t, a spooky statute limited misdemeanor raised to the level of 34 felonies by virtue of some combination of other minor crimes two of which are also statute limited misdemeanors, a “fraud”case with no victim and a case about what appears to be a federally allowed and perhaps even facilitated riot at the Capitol that he didn’t not take part in and actually told his supporters to peacefully protest? Do any of these people, or anyone reading this for that matter, think they would come out of such a violation unscathed. They estimate that each one of us probably breaks about three laws a day simply because there are so many laws, many of which are ridiculous by virtue of content or non-content (vagueness). Are there any real journalists in the mainstream media anymore?

    If the exact same circumstances or surrounding a trial, with somebody who the New York Times liked, they would find the conditions of this trial to be completely appalling. The ends don’t justify the means, you guys. Anybody guilty of a crime should be punished for it, but you simply can’t say that this particular trial done in this particular way, doesn’t smell to high heaven, even if Donald is guilty as sin. That doesn’t mean that this was not a deliberate political hit job done in a fashion that was incredibly corrupt. That matters. And what’s the alternative? The other guy is guilty of selling presidential influence worldwide. People that can’t stand Donald Trump really need to sit back and ask themselves why is it that a guy like that can actually end up being the president twice. It goes to show how deep the rot is in Washington. Seriously, do some soul-searching. Think about why a guy like Donald Trump ends up beating Washington. People hate Washington so much that they will take damn near anybody outside of it at this point. and no serious human being could look me in the eye and honestly tell me that Joe Biden is a good candidate for president. They just feel he’s better than Donald Trump. That doesn’t mean he’s any good though. What an absolute disgrace that these are the two that are put out there again.

That does not mean that they couldn't find some if given more time but so far they have nothing to go on. As for him being better than Trump you could say that he has done a world of good for the people of the United States in that we will be building chips in the United States now, the infrastructure bill is creating thousands of jobs and repairing our roads, bridges, water systems. He's expanding oil drilling, setting up charging for electric vehicles, has forgiven college debt which is out of control for thousands of students so they can concentrate on putting their money back in the economy instead of enrichening loan institutions such as Banks and other mortgage lenders. As an independent I'm going to vote for Joe again. All the nitpicking about his being able to speak is just that. Having overcome a stutter as a child he does a very good job and stays on point unlike trump.

    If he was innocent why didn’t he testify? Maybe because it would be even more obvious he actually is guilty.

    Biden needs to campaign hard on economic issues. The fact is that inflation will increase under Trump's planned 10% tariff on all imported goods and deporting millions of agricultural workers. Undecided voters are not going to be swayed by anything other than bread and butter issues and I can't believe Democrats haven't figured that out yet

    That's a chilling thought...Trump in office with a jail sentence awaiting him when his term ends. Now there's a real incentive to not leave office.

    Yes and that's why he wants back in the White House and never wanted to leave. Would have been better off if he had stayed away from the swamp.

    From his point of view, this election really is life or death for him. If he loses he will be found guilty in his other cases and spend the rest of his life in prison. If he wins, he thinks he will spend the rest of his life living like a king as dictator. There is nothing he won't do in his attempt to win. He'll be willing to spend every penny he can get his hands on.

    Like Biden, Hitler also had his political opponents persecuted during the election season. Crimes that supposedly happened 8 - 25 years ago, just now being pursued? What do you think about that Steele dossier lie & hoax Hilary set up to brainwash her followers into hating Trump and half your neighbors (you know, the deplorables as she calls them). Hitler would be proud of how easily she brainwashed today's masses with a fake pee tape story and Steele dossier hoax.
