Does the gag order remain in place until sentencing or can Trump speak freely now?

I knew that guy wasn't guilty. Good to see crooks political candidates with whom I disagree actually face the music get railroaded over imaginary crimes.

Imagine actively cheering this on.

what do you expect from posters that hate this country. This is an awful day for this country and the justice system, I don't care what side of the aisle you are on.

My liberal neighbor just told me the same thing. Said it'll likely help Trump. I agree.

I can't believe there are many trump voters who won't now vote for him because of this.

There's people on the fence like me who will now vote for him.

---

I believe this will blow up in their faces once the polling starts rolling in in 3-6 weeks.

This kind of thing does those who actually served in wars and had a REAL need to fly it a great disservice. Those folks often died.

Presentencng reports take about a month or two. So he's putting pressure to get it done as early as possible.

Gag order is still in effect, is my understanding at this point.

Me too

Oh, I thought you might've meant Hunter and his perv father

All the more reason to not vote for either of them.

Lol at the guy named blacksox talking about crime

Nice sailing with y'all, godspeed people.

This. I just can't believe there is Trump supporter (or someone even on the fence) that now thinks "Oh, well....now that he is convicted of something to do with falsifying documents and a porn star (ie...more of a tabloid crime than something like Nixon) I now wont vote for him."

There just can't be that many out there like that. Hell, I'm willing to bet his poll numbers go UP after this.

The Federal Election prosecution MAY be different. But not this.

So long as people still buy groceries, they will remember the good old days of trumps presidency.

The target might have been Trump, but the real goal was to influence the 2024 election, no matter the total lack of facts and dubious legal theories of the case. This entire case was engineered for this result for strictly political reasons. Democracy must be saved even through unlawful and unethical means. The enemies of society must be hunted, the obstacles to progress must be destroyed. This better wake up the right that the left needs to be destroyed. If the right doesn't step up we know they are all complicit.

And still nothing to stop the Dems/Libs from continuing their lawlessness, no negative consequences for their behaviors.
So they just become more emboldened to take injustice and the destruction of our country to new despicable levels.

There is no other candidate. We knew the outcome of this case long ago and let a bonafide successful conservative and he couldn't make a dent.

Trump will likely win in November unless people were waiting on this outcome. Most trump voters accept him for who he is, whether that includes felon or not.

---

We'll see what the polls say. Hope you're right, but not holding my breath

---

Nobody who was voting for Trump yesterday has changed their mind today. That person literally doesn't exist.

Now if he were sent to prison? Yes, but literally nobody in his corner gives a **** about this conviction.

Are you talking about the trial verdict or flying the flag upside down does a great disservice?

One is clearly anti-American and the other is a sign that the America we knew and love is under duress...

My 2 best liberal friends are pissed that this even happened. Think now think Trump will win.

It might be. In the short term Trump's political interests went through the roof. We'll see how much it wears off and how well the "convicted felon" storyline does in the 4 or 5 states that actually matter come November.

I truly wonder if the yard gnomes fist bumping and cackling over this realize our country is on life support?

The jury was full of morons, definitely a weakness in our justice system. Marxist brainwashing has been very effective in urban areas and has lead to a severe decline in mental stability in those areas.

I am still trying to figure out how this was elevated to a felony crime instead of a misdemeanor with a fine.

So this case was about illegally influencing the 2016 election... that the voters in NY would have voted for Hillary if they'd known that Trump paid hush monies to Daniels?

Stay away from NY state ... if you do go set your social media to private.

First debate is on June 27

The verdict reading is completed. The jurors all have straight faces.

After parties ask for them to be polled, the jurors individually confirm "Yes" that this is their verdict.

Donald Trump, who had remained staring straight ahead as the guilty verdict was read on each count, looked over toward the jury box as each member of the panel confirmed their verdict.

He's gone back to looking straight ahead with a straight face as Judge Juan Merchan thanks the jurors.

Make sure no time for appeal to come back before election.

It's probably mostly people who are not very tuned into national news or politics that this applies to. By definition the majority of people who frequent this forum have been guaranteed votes for Trump since it became apparent he'd be the nominee.

Where any of the guilty counts for a crime that was a felony?
