Trump May Have Admitted His Actions Illegal–But Does That Matter?

I’m not a lawyer, but it’s hard for me to imagine any circumstances in which a criminal defendant’s understanding of the legal nature of the crimes he’s alleged to have committed has any bearing on his guilt or innocence.

If I rob a bank, go to trial, and claim “I’ve done nothing wrong,” I would expect the justice system to be completely indifferent to that statement.

    I’ve said it before — “Don’t bet on it”!! because the all of the Courts are filled with “something called “Attorneys” — and they “have no guilt” on anything.

    IF they can get any-one “off” for the crime committed — they’ll do it – because it gives them “hash-marks” to carry around as a “reputation” in comparison to their fellow attorneys.

    And “To Hell” with whether the accused was guilty of not.
