New York's Judiciary would not allow former President Trump to intimidate its system of justice and held him accountable for his crimes. In three New York trials Trump's company was found guilty of committing fraud against the state and Trump was found guilty of sexual assault against E. Jean Carroll and in another trial found guilty of defaming her.
Trump's fraud trial was without a jury at his own request and the presiding judge decided the case. Both trials concerning E.Jean Carroll, the verdict was decided by a jury of Trump's peers. Before, during and after Trump's trials, Trump did his best to try and intimidate the judges, prosecutors and the system with his personal attacks but the system held firm. The fines that were given to Trump for his actions are now in the process of playing out and time will tell how much Trump is affected financially.
Unlike the federal court system, New York took Trump's crimes seriously, understood how he tried to manipulate the system and destroy the legal process, acted timely so justice would be served. And coming up next in New York will be Trump's trial with Stormy Daniels next month.
In the mean time, Trump is waiting to go to trial on the federal level whose trials has been delayed because of Trump's delaying tactics that the federal courts have allowed to take place. The federal courts have succumbed to Trump's intimidation and attacks and the Supreme Court has agreed to take up Trump's notion of "total immunity" for his actions which the Court of Appeals have already ruled against twice. The Supreme Court's decision will push back Trump's trial date for several months. It should be noted that Trump is the only President to ever claim a President has "total immunity." New York upheld its laws and acted timely. The federal courts have failed to act timely.
Those convictions of Trump make him a convicted criminal according to Websters Dictionary. And because of that, Trump is totally not qualified to be a Presidential nominee or ever be President again. And that really says it all.
