床铺还是栽在自己太抠门。当时风暴来找他要封口费，他只要给点钱就没事了，完全合法。 但他不想花自己的钱，毕竟自己筹来的竞选基金很多都没花掉。他用竞选基金给封口费其实也是合理合法的。封口费毕竟跟他的竞选有直接关系。但是竞选基金花钱必须写清楚用来干什么。隐瞒就是犯法。现在看他隐瞒竞选基金是人证物证确凿，跑不掉了。就为了省一点钱现在掉坑里了。
川普最悲哀的就是喊了三个大口号：
lock him/her up
law and order
MAGA
结果以自己被批捕的惨烈方式向全美国证明或者践行了这三个口号。
悲催！

据说MAGA的新释义是make attorney get attorney
还可以这样？庭审了没？

Why couldn’t AG Ken Paxton sit for a deposition? A multicity trip to Europe, records show
New records show Attorney General Paxton visited Albania, Greece, Italy and Malta the same month last summer when lawyers were seeking his deposition in a securities fraud dispute.

Texas AG Ken Paxton could be deposed about securities fraud accusations after election
The deposition is part of a lawsuit that is separate but related to the attorney general’s seven-year-old securities fraud indictment.
BY JAMES BARRAGÁN SEPT. 15, 20226
Attorney General Ken Paxton will face lawyers for the men who accused him of securities fraud seven years ago in a one-hour deposition after the November elections.
The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that Collin County District Court Judge Cynthia Wheless ordered Paxton to sit for the deposition on Nov. 28, three weeks after the culmination of Paxton’s reelection race. He is running against Democrat Rochelle Garza.

法庭有权逮捕，重要的是老川已经被indicted。
indictment 之后法庭逮捕，出庭判无罪还可以是自由人。indictment 之后就算法庭不实行逮捕，法庭上定了罪还是要坐牢。
所以 indictment 才是真正有 consequence 的，逮捕是否对结局毫无关系。

假如定罪了，法律规定可以在大牢里当总统么？那要是能在大牢里做总统，让各国政要去大牢里meet那就开眼了。
你们都失望这么久了。我就陪你们酸一次哈。谁让民主党不给力，4年连个冲击国会的罪犯都抓不起来，难不成几十年以后等川普没了再定罪？加油！
走了走了。知道这是川黑的地盘，就是进来恶心你们一下🤣大家继续嗨吧。
Trump被起诉，是不是就意味着他参选下届总统的资格被取消了？

Regretfully, still-indicted Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is at it again. It's still not clear why Paxton even remains in office, seven years after he was indicted on felony state security fraud charges and two years after multiple top members of his own attorney general's office accused him of bribery and abuse of office. We can only presume it's because Texas Republicans are, as a group, so corrupt that bribery and securities fraud doesn't raise an eyebrow for them—and anyone looking for evidence to the contrary there is in for a tough, tough search.
美国的司法就是这样啊。因为定罪的要求很高，所以很不容易坐实核心罪名。
大名鼎鼎的黑帮老大Al Capone 最后是因为偷税漏税被IRS抓了。很多案子最后被坐实的是wire fraud, make false statements, 而不是本身的罪行比如杀人放火，贿赂，密谋，或者欺诈。

的确如此。
这次很多法律界人士都估计老川会被定罪。
