Unconditional Discharge, as if we didn’t all know what was coming.
Much like we’ve seen here over the last few years, the “nobody is above the law” phrase has been confirmed, unequivocally, as untrue. |  | | |  |

He's not known as Teflon Don for nothing. And yet he still screams and pouts about how unfair it all is, like a spoilt toddler. | | | |

Except he is now one with a piece of official paper noting his embarrassing discharge. |  | | |

“Unconditional Discharge”
Sounds unpleasant, a common side effect of consuming bleach. | | | |

Some of the politicians and commentators who have slimed their way to Mar a Lago to kiss his ring have commented on the discharge

In fairness, the Court essentially said that its hands were tied because of the constituitonal position.
A position which was considered by the Supreme Court, loaded with right wing conservatives by Trump last time around... | | | |
| Trump on 10:21 - Jan 11 with 636 views | StokieBlue |
The court that really matters is stacked in his favour and his supporters essentially believe he's done nothing wrong and are very vocal.
This guy is about to be pardoned by Trump along with all his fellow rioters.
As long as you're agreeing with him then Trump is very fast and loose with the law.

The law is a tool for people with money.
That is Trump's approach - and for much of the modern US legal system. |  |

He is pardoning the Hezbollah terrorists? How does that fit with his overall narrative? |  |

Although it is an unconditional discharge, hasn't he been found guilty? I presume it isn't a criminal offence so he is isn't actually a convicted criminal or does the US constitution allow a convicted criminal to be president just not to emigrate there? | |

A narrative requires people to remember what has happened before. Trump doesn't work that way, he says things and then says different things and pretends the other stuff was never said. His supporters don't seem to be bothered about this.
So I think in reality it's not really a narrative, it's soundbites to make a point at that specific time, if that happens to form a consistent narrative I think it's more by luck than design.

He is a convicted felon. However, there is nothing stopping a convict (or even someone actually in prison) being President.
It's presumably not something the writers of the Constitution thought was likely. They had to bring in a special amendment for those who led the attempt to secede in the 1860s. | |

Which is also why it is difficult to tell what soundbites he might or might not act on. | |

A fair point, we don't have long to wait to find out.

Correct. He is a criminal / felon. Convicted.
He has recevied no substantive sentence because of the office he is about to take up.
Simple as that.
For a country obsessed with freedom, justice and constitutional rights, the US has some very strange and arhcaic arrangements. Presidents being above the law, and Courts (and prosecutors) being politically selected for a start. | | | |

I do hope this will come back and bite the GOP. Moderate middle America likes the rule of law and mass pardoning the rioters won't go down well. If the Democrats can find someone people actually want to vote for, they'll flip the House in 2 years. But the Democrats will probably find a way to balls it up.
Trump won't care though. He will just be waiting for his statue to be put up alongside Lincoln |  | | |

"Unconditional discharge"?
I feel like i need to buy a social media platform and spend my whole day on it ranting about another country's judicial process despite barely knowing anything about it. [Post edited 11 Jan 11:26]
