The more counts, the more charges. DUH!

The above quote reasserts my claim that this is a political stunt and that the number of counts isn't relevant, not relative, relevant to to whether or not it's a political stunt. So again explain how the number of counts is relevant to whether or not it's a political stunt.

I doubt that the members of the grand jury sees it as a political stunt. My experience with juries, including grand juries, is that they take their job and the consequences of such very seriously.

They claim its all political and made up and will never succeed, yet they have not seen the indictments.

Yes. Agreed. How does that prove this is not a political stunt? THATS the question.

I couldn't agree more but does the grand jury decide which cases it will consider?

No way to prove without seeing the indictments. Right now it's just your opinion. One in which Donald could never be guilty of anything.

Nope. They merely decide whether the charges have validity. They have decided as much in this case.

Yes and I submit it's a valid claim given the seven year history of democrats pursuing trump. At the very least that history should make anyone think twice. It would be like an Arab telling me how evil a Jew is. The Jew might be evil but given the history between Arabs and Jews it's not unreasonable to be suspicious of the claim.

Right the prosecutor, a politician that is a lawyer, decides which cases they hear so telling me the jury takes their job and it's consequences seriously isn't relevant to whether or not this is a political stunt.

Trump has been dishonest, Trump has been a crook, Trump has been a serial liar his entire life. It's no wonder that he has a long history of distrust.

The grand jury decided the charges had enough merit to return indictments. That’s the only relevance that counts.

Ok. Again that doesn't prove this isnt a political stunt. And the behavior of democrats is no more trustworthy. Let me ask you a question, if you couldn't arrest and imprison trump on all his alleged crimes but could ensure he was never able to hold public office again would you do it?

There is no crime that Trump would commit, regardless of how severe, that you would ever consider more than a political stunt. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing him run for office again and lose as badly as before.

Charges brought by a politician who is also a lawyer, who also decides what a jury hears and only has to show enough evidence to charge which isn't a very heavy burden. I have evidence of a person standing next to a dead body. I can easily make a charge but convicting is an entirely different matter. Nothing I've heard yet proves this isnt a political stunt.
