Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Are they holding him in jail? Do they have ANY evidence? This seems like North Korea shit to me. Nazi shit. Whatever, it's fucking BAD.
wasn't it last week someone got 50 years for basically the crime of having pamphlets?
They sent someone to 50 years slavery in jail for wearing a black shirt.
Its already happening.
The grand jury that indicted him clearly think there’s enough evidence.
Trump and the administration have nothing to do with this.
Grand juries will indict a ham sandwich. The prosecution is Trump's DOJ, they 100% work for the administration. They also have a history of lying and violating the law when presenting to grand juries (where there is no defense allowed).
You have absolutely no idea how any of this works, so please do educate yourself before speaking.
I'm genuinely surprised still bc they couldn't indict someone who threw a ham sandwich. DC must no longer be bothered by the sight of the national guard...
The prosecution didn’t indict him, the grand jury did.
The prosecution presents the "evidence" to the grand jury. There is no defense against that, and the prosecution can present the "evidence" however they'd like.
They could claim that he shot twelve small children before taking out a pocket knife and slashing apart the reflecting pool, and the grand jury would just have to accept that.
They are not getting a trial or a defense or having all evidence presented and accounted for.
This is a political stunt, nothing more. Once he goes to court, this will get either tossed out, or if it goes to trial and an actual defense lawyer gets a hold of it, the case is over. There is no case. This is 100% optics.
As the person above you said, you need to educate yourself before speaking. Your ignorance is what fascists prey on.
Again - The prosecution didn’t indict him, the grand jury did.
well I mean yeah, they probably used something like the Chewbacca defense legal tactic. There's no irrefutable defense against just making shit up until it sounds bad enough.
The democracy has been a joke for some time but now that they know they can do whatever with out consequences it's pretty much done.
