All that was from a different time when congress actually asked questions with the intent to find out the truth and facts of a matter. Now they ask questions to make a point and the response of the person being asked is almost irrelevant, which is why when the answer is shocking the questioner just moves on to the next question as if they hadn’t heard ... because they don’t care about answers, they care about making their point with a fake question.

Trump wants to be the 2024 nominee and believes that he is entitled to the nomination. If he came to one of the debates that would imply that other candidates have a right to try to get the nomination.

Pretty much what I was going to post. When you have corrupt GOP losers like Asa Hutchinson legitimizing this perversion of Justice.

Dissolve the DC Circuit

Arrest Jack Smith for abuse of power

Who is going to or can do this?

As hard as it is to believe, ADA, as Trump calls him, once once considered a very reliable conservative.

While he, Jack Smith, will continue to leak things to poison the jury pool against Trump.

IIRC, Jim Jordan actually VOTED for McCarthy on every ballot (13x)

“Donald” DID NOT VOTE.

You cannot possibly have forgotten that "Donald" consistently and continually pressured the House Freedom Caucus to quit "obstructing" and quickly elect Mr. McCarthy without extracting any concessions or promises from Mr. McCarthy.

History is quickly forgotten on this forum.

1. The DC Circuit is a creation of Congress. They can un-create it. There is only one Constitutional court.

2. Smith can be referred for prosecution out of the House Judiciary, for example, or even indicted by a county prosecutor in say, Florida, if we buy the Willis theory of anyone with a compliant Grand Jury can indict federal officers.

I really like #2!

If this case actually goes to trial, and there are non-citizens on the jury. They have not selected a jury yet.

As hard as this is to believe, the house can do exactly that.
Ask your rep why they don’t.

This guy should have been disbarred after he lied to courts in the Enron, that VA Gov and that My Little Pony Dem prez candidate cases.

6th Amendment: an impartial jury consisting of jurors from the state and district in which the crime was alleged to have been committed

The problem is, it may be difficult to guarantee that a DC court will select an "impartial jury." Roger Stone's jury forema'am posted anti-Trump statements on social media. But they must be "from the state and district in which the crime was alleged to have been committed." Does the 6th Amendment have criteria that contradict each other?

Not to mention “encouraging” Lois Lerner to use her IRS position to deny tax exemptions to conservative groups.

Why reply to the comment if you’re going to completely ignore the point that was being made? The point was that Trump will be placed in an unfair disadvantage if he attends the debates, due to the gag order. And you respond with some mindless tripe about Trump believing that he’s entitled to the nomination. Are you too lazy to think or do you just not know how? Am I talking to a bot or are just impersonating one?

Trump should schedule interviews
on all major networks.
The answer to any question;
I’m not guilty and no comment.
The one’s out to get him
would have to monitor hours
and hours of Trump adhering
to the order. There’s nothing
wrong with Trump saying
“Vote For Me”
Lots of TV exposure as everyone
knows what’s truly going on.
