As we've heard about increasing numbers of sealed indictments over the last couple of years, a lot of people (myself included) have been asking, "WHEN is the justice going to begin?"
Different reasons have been advanced: waiting for IG's report, waiting for Durham's report, waiting until all the i's are dotted, etc. And there's probably a lot of truth to those.
However, when I heard Trump's speech on the day after acquittal, he mentioned the number of federal judges appointed -- now 191 confirmed. And that got me to thinking... maybe Trump had to restore the judiciary first, to handle the sheer volume of cases that would be forthcoming (and the inevitable appeals, etc.). Maybe there had to be a minimum number of judge vacancies filled before the wheels of justice can start turning?
Unless they're all going to be military tribunals -- and I don't know if there are sufficient personnel to handle such a large number.
Just my random thoughts, FReepers, you can go ahead and skewer me now. 😏
dang moderator is busy on this thread. Ain’t it time for supper in Californification?
Agree
I'll take Trump's agenda.
Hillary is in a living hell because Trump cleaned her clock in 2016 and she will NEVER be president.
Now we are MAGA!
The left will never be investigated, arrested or tried. There is multi tiered injustice system in the USA.
why no indictments? Because we are NOT winning as much as we think. And we don’t nearly have the amount of “right” people on our side as we need.
Preparing the battle field with new judges is one reason.
Attacking a criminal machine that, at a minimum, has been 70 years in the making is another.
When the first serious indictment comes down all heck will break loose,
the cockroaches will scatter, the flying monkeys will be loosed
and any evidence not already found will be deep sixed.
It will be a war.
In Trump's second term, if ever.
As LS put it some time ago, you can have Trump’s agenda or you can have Hillary and her co-horts in jail.
I’ll take Trump’s agenda.
Correct. The here and now is much more important than putting Hillary in jail.
But what we are getting now is Trump’s agenda obstructed by the Deep State and their enablers in Congress.
We’ve seen Trump’s DNI and Fed picks rejected by his own party, rank insubordination in the DOD, years long obstruction and criminality in the “Trump” DOJ, CIA and State backed impeachment hoax, etc., etc.
Reigning in The Resistance and effectively advancing the MAGA agenda has to be the priority.
We should not avoid the ugly truth that President Trump has very little control of much of the executive branch. To gain firm control of the executive branch the coupists and their fellow travelling Never Trumpers in the GOP must be engaged.
No skewer. At least it’s intelligent thought. Perhaps Trump wanted a lot more judges before he found too many liberals in the upper courts would have otherwise squashed his efforts. Maybe. Perhaps. Could be. Plausible.
Don’t let the cynics bother you, Joe. They’ll be proven wrong in the end. Your point about the judiciary needing to be changed before proceeding is a valid point. There are other reasons for the delay as well, not the least of which is that it takes time to build rock solid indictments that will lead to convictions. Durham indictments are scheduled for late spring/early summer, Assange’s extradition hearing takes place later this month, and the Dim’s are out of ammo. The doom and gloomers will find something else to be unhappy about once the indictments come, but they are coming.
We’re in trouble. “If you only knew how bad it really is.”
Wow...lots of removed comments. Must be thinking what I’m thinking...
Gotta get the i’s and t’s in order and much of the web probably intersects where a lot of cases need to be polished and presented as a package to keep leaks from saving some asses. The Courts are important but I doubt that such high profile cases will be able to be coopted by a judge here and there.
Can we just dispense with this idea of a “Durham Report”.
He is a prosecutor. There will be no report - it will be indictments.
