    Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.

      And a particularly unqualified and ideological appointment, even by Trump standards.

        Idk trump standards are “do the opposite of what is good and right” so this seems right up the trump standards alley.

    Make sure you don’t vote for Biden though, because of that one issue you suddenly care about.

      that one issue you suddenly care about.

      That will also be significantly worse under Trump.

      America loves its criminals. It bends over backward for them if they’re rich.

        No no no. This is just a very special exception to the Rules Based International Order we’ve always had.

        Normally, America is very good about prosecuting plutocrats. But this time Russia stopped us. We just have to beat Russia. Only then can we prosecute Donald Trump.

    Fire her. She’s compromised and a Trump appointee that should have been recused.

      How?

      Wouldn’t she need to be to be impeached by the House? The house is controlled by the GOP. Even if a few republicans wanted to remove her, you would still need the GOP speaker to bring this to the floor.

        The prosecutor can request that she be removed from the case, but that’s extreme and, if fails, leaves him with a hostile judge that is also even more empowered than before.

    After decades of Americans saving the world in movies I can now confidently say that they instead will just sit at home continuing their consumption until someone comes and shoots them like a dog. We jUsT NeeD tO VoTe HArdEr

        For what? No change? The status quo? I’d rather vote for America’s downfall so that the pain and terror Americans inflict overseas, is felt here in our borders.

        Americans love violence so much, why should you have peace in your streets?

      You’re assuming Trump will win the election. He won’t.

      Jesus, why do people forget that Trump lost an election while being president and while trying to tamper with it? What makes you think he will win this time?

    Ladies and gentlemen, the party of law and order. We know who will be selected as the new supreme court judge soon…

      Who’s the president right now? Wonder what he’s up to. Wonder if he’s fixing this. Wonder if he’s anything better than the capitalistic fascist of American conservatism.

      Listen, I’ve seen this in every thread. The judges are just being extra careful so they can make sure the case doesn’t get thrown out because it’s a highly sensitive subject.

      Four years just wasn’t enough time. You have to be patient about these things. Give us another Friedman Unit or two to settle things out.

          They’re trying to conflate a right-wing judge’s bias with those biG bAd LibErAlS who defend Garland’s meticulous albeit slow investigation and hand-off to Jack Smith I guess.

        Not sure if sarcasm or not, but after following quite a few (yes, YouTube) lawyers on this subject, I think it’s fair to say that a lot of it actually is that; Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard. last thing you want is to convict him, have fox news pull the “they made a mistake” cars, and actually be right. Once trump goes to jail, you better be sure he stays there.

          Trump is sloppy, inept, and surrounded by people who routinely rat him out.

          He’s not slippery. He’s just standard-tier corrupt. That’s all it takes to defer prosecution indefinitely.

          Once trump goes to jail

          He’s not going to jail.
