If the DOJ were to defy the Supreme Court after the nakedly political persecution of Donald Trump in four separate courts along the East Coast, and after Meritless Garbage decided to ignore a Congressional subpoena in just the way that Bannon did, and do this all a few months before the election, it would be absolutely devastating for the Democrats. As it is, they are sliding in the polls, this would be like Mrs. O’Leary‘s cow kicking over a lantern in the barn.
Without comment [LOL! That is a keeper.]
Right now one of the Democrats’ talking points is that Trump doesn’t respect the judicial system (because of his attacks on the absurd outcome of the Manhattan trial). They are probably hoping that the Supreme Court fails to take any action before the November election, so they don’t have to defy any ruling that benefits Trump. The Court is gun-shy after all the attacks they received after they stopped the recounts in December 2000, which allowed Bush to become President, so they wouldn’t want to be seen as doing something that might benefit Trump.
