At least one grand jury is deciding now:

Prosecutor in Trump criminal probe convenes grand jury to hear evidence, weigh potential charges
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-investigation-grand-jury/2021/05/25/5f47911c-bcca-11eb-83e3-0ca705a96ba4_story.html

The fraud he committed before becoming president is likely the least of his worries though.  Cases like this seem like a great opportunity for prosecutors to get those in his inner circle to flip on him to avoid prison.  Remember, if you want to cooperate with the feds and work out a deal, you gotta share everything about any potential crime.  

Trump needs Allen Weisselberg and Rudy to be willing to go to prison for him.

Of all Trump's grifts, this one is one of my favorites:

https://time.com/5607302/donald-trump-state-park/

Bought some land for $3 million, tried to build a golf course but couldn't, then donated the land to the state and valued it at $26 million -
Wow! What a rip-off! Honestly, I thought this type of human greed only happens with leaders in the African continent. Now I know better. Going forward, I'm still amused as to why Donald Trump is yet to be charged with inciting his supporters to disrupt the Capitol while Congress was sitting on that said day of Jan 6, 2021 in his allegation of electoral malfeasance. It goes to show that even in the supposed sane societies laws are also bent to serve certain interest. In this case, it would seem that Americans may want to prevent a record from being set — of an indicted and imprisoned ex-president. I'm sure if the case is perused properly, Donald Trump will be found wanting to have broken a law or two.

The Capitol riots were done by Dem and Soros-paid infiltrators.

Trump was blocked by the county from building his golf course. What he did is being done by thousands of wealthy people all over the USA and the world. No greed involved. Simply smart operations. The American dream. Go after it if you want.

I think Trump will be safe because indicting him would be a bad precedent and that could stir up political life across the country. The former presidents of the United States will be blamed.
What I don't like about Trump is that he has passively responded to COVID-19 and let the consequences be severe. Trump's tweets after running for paper sent a wave of contradictions among Americans. It's incitement to division, which I consider bad.

Did Trump do something bad? Biden and the Dem leaders are way worse. So, Trump's acquittal is like precedent for the Dems, when their turn comes.

A sick part of me wishes they would kill him in jail like Epstein just so you liberals would have nothing to talk about. You can't blame a dead man for anything as they practically blamed him for all the world's woes. I think they would turn him back into a zombie just so they could have someone to blame. Cheesy The only thing I really blame him for though is starting the lockdown bullsh!t and letting it run for his last year in office. He was doing good before all of that besides the Russian collusion BS which everyone ignored. I bet yall are the ones that buy high and sell low because you believe all the hype and FUD because the media is all about hype and propaganda.

Bought some land for $3 million, tried to build a golf course but couldn't, then donated the land to the state and valued it at $26 million - nice tax write-off more than sufficient to cover the $3 million cost. Stiffed a consultant along the way, just for shits and giggles.

The problem is of course that he doesn't seem to have done an appraisal as IRS requires and it's very doubtful the land is worth that much, i.e. fraud.

Trump out and free.
Ok, so I thought I'd start a new thread now that the inevitable has happened.
Trump not convicted ...what a surprise.
But now he's out of office and no longer immune from criminal prosecution, will he be indicted?
And held accountable for his actions during his presidency (among other things) in a criminal court, rather than an impeachment trial in the senate where we all knew
it was a fore gone conclusion that the spineless retrumplican toadies would vote for acquittal, no matter what evidence the house managers presented.
Is there ever an evidence to show that is big enough to take the formal president to jail, I gues your answer is good as mine none for now so the house may end up swiping the Trump impeachment and trial under the carpet.

I've said it before, and this—as you say, foregone conclusion—casts it into sharp focus: two-party politics is a joke. The overriding objective is always always defend your side and attack the other side. This is the prime motivating factor in the decisions they make. Actual representation of legitimate voter interests comes a distant second.


now he's out of office and no longer immune from criminal prosecution, will he be indicted?
I would say it's unlikely. He has a huge base of support, and any consideration to prosecute him would have to weight the pros against the cons... it could lead to massive civil unrest on a scale we haven't seen before - I mean, look what happened when he lost a fair election, that was enough to provoke a small-scale coup attempt. Plus if he was convicted, how would a former president serve jail time? The logistical difficulties would seem insurmountable. Would there be secret service protection in adjoining cells? And if jail time was ruled out, then it's difficult to see how a fine would affect him, or how house arrest at Mar-a-Lago would be in any sense a punishment.

As with the impeachment, I would say that regardless of whether he is guilty of any crimes, the chance of a prosecution is extremely low.

Not so much a surprise to me, despite the charge of insurrection levelled against Trump, it is quite difficult to imagine a past president in prison.
