I'll have a column explaining it all after order is filed.
You will see much caterwauling by corporate media types and usual suspects like Weissmann and McQuade how Cannon is doing Trump's bidding.
But the blame lies SOLELY at the feet of DOJ. Jack Smith brought 2 unprecedented federal cases against a former president within two months of each other. He asked for, and was granted, an expedited trial schedule in D.C. Judge Chutkan gave Trump 7 months to prepare for trial--the typical J6 case goes to trial over a year after indictment.
The classified docs trial represents major obstacles to defense (Trump and 2 co-defendants) as they attempt to view classified discovery in a Miami SCIF the government just set up on October 18. All attorneys had to obtain security clearances.
Discovery is voluminous--1.3 million pages of unclassified, 5,500 pages of classified, and years' worth of security footage from Trump's properties.
Further, Smith brought a superseding indictment in classified docs case several weeks after June indictment was handed down, adding another defendant and more charges against Trump.
Smith is playing games--Chutkan lets him, Cannon doesn't. Which is why she has earned the enmity of corporate media and their "expert" lapdogs.
It’s the usual republican primary pi**ing match that drives people away from this site
And welcome back!
“If the south wanted to preserve slavery all they had to do was stop fighting. They didn’t . It was about forming a new republic. Secession is the ultimate states right.”
Well, you seem to acknowledge that the War of Northern Aggression is a false myth. Good for you! But, see, the problem is that the war was actually one of SOUTHERN aggression. In addition to the confederate STATES, the confederacy lay claim to more than half of the UNION that had NOT joined the confederacy, including Missouri, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia, New Mexico Territory, Colorado Territory, Arizona Territory (not the same as the later U.S. territory), Utah Territory, Nebraska Territory, Colorado Territory, Washington Territory, and Nevada Territory.
See, the South needed desperately to export their slaves. Lincoln’s notion of “dying on the vine” actually made economic sense. Farming had become too productive; a free man and his family could farm what used to require slaves. The solution was to send the slaves out to the West.
Nope. All the others are terrible.
Exactly.
Considering the Weaponization of the Law has gone to the point where a former US President is threatened with decades of jail time, I think the nails are already in the coffin and we are just determining the size of the hammer.
Given the American "patriots" of today, it's pretty much a slam dunk.
“Given the American “patriots” of today, it’s pretty much a slam dunk.”
Unfortunately.... probably true. There are a few out there. But there seems to be no leadership among them. No organization.
I guess we’ll see how it goes. Thank God we still have our guns & ammo & Bibles. I suspect that we’re going to need it.
