"You've gotta fight like hell and I'll be right there with you."
Of course he does.
Obvious truth is obvious.
RICO his ass
Trump's motion to dismiss based on his claims of presidential immunity is now due Nov. 7, while the government's reply is due on Nov. 21. Whether the case ultimately goes to trial depends on the outcome of the election.
I have zero idea why Jack Smith waited so fucking long to bring this to trial. Maybe I'm missing something, but it feels like election interference to postpone court proceedings to give a candidate criminal deniability until after the election is over. If Trump really is guilty, the public deserves to know now, not after we all vote.
Jack Smith did not postpone it that late, the Supreme court and lower courts have been adding delays non-stop
He filed indictments over a year ago against trump. The more recent headlines are talking about modified versions of those indictments to work around the Supreme Court's insane rulings
His earlier case was thrown out after the Supreme Court ruled the President is immune from crimes. He had to go back do it again with only evidence from when Trump was acting as a private citizen.
Two small points-
- he brought the classified docs case earlier and that case has been dismissed pending appeal, so I don’t think the timing matters there.
- due to the Supreme Court’s interference, we are probably still a year from a verdict. They were going to help him avoid accountability no matter when the charges were brought.
But has he? No.
Will he? No.
