Should Donald Trump fail a second time to be re-elected he faces the very real possibility of jail time and massive financial penalties due to the sheer volume of criminal cases and civil lawsuits that are on hold until after the election.
That is the opinion of Syracuse University law professor Greg Germain who explained in an interview with Newsweek that the former president’s only path to get out from under the federal cases he now faces is to beat Vice President Kamala Harris in less than two weeks and then push the Department of Justice to drop the cases filed against him.
As Germain stated, the multiple federal cases Trump is facing are solid and his only path to victory may be having them shut down.

My fed work?
It is a federal crime to threaten the president with harm or death. It’s a guarantee a federal agent will look deeper at people who make statements like the one you made.
Is it really a threat to muse about what could happen as some random person on the internet?
It’s not like OP announced to do it or called for it to be done.
I’d see it differently if a person with a lot of followers (especially crazy ones) would dare to think something like this aloud. Does this law cover former presidents as well?
Anyway… Remember: it’s a losing battle trying to be tolerant of the intolerant!
Let’s tolerate genocide then too? Wouldn’t want to be intolerant of people who are intolerant.
This is lemmy.
Smart ass.

Flagged on lemmy, lol. No where else.
No one is looking into me, sooo, you’re wrong.
It is my personal opinion, that his elimination would be better for society. I’m allowed to say whatever I want. And if the “fed” wants to bitch, they can message me and I’ll come down and have a little chat with them. Which will go nowhere, as you know…

You’re sure about so many things that aren’t correct.
