This is what a failed nation & society look like.
Case in point. I am a prosecutor. I say...
“Your Honor, this person is guilty of the crimes he has committed as charged (fill in whatever you want to make up), because he is an evil person, and has been all of his life. He has never shown remorse for the crimes he has committed. I have a grand jury indictment to back up my claims.”
That’s all I got. So he has to be guilty.
The same thing happened when Trump tried to contest the election.
I hope so. All is fair.

The long and short of it is that the prosecution's case in Fulton County has no legal substance and exists solely because instructions have been given to the prosecutor (and perhaps even the judge) to keep pressing until the voting public assumes Trump's guilt.
Actually finding Trump guilty would be a cherry on top.

The title is kinda screwy. The first idea it brings to mind is that it is talking about judges Trump appointed - “Trump’s Judges” implies that idea most of all.
One word would have corrected that, and it would have gone like this - Judges Trying Trump Are Following Political Instructions Not Legal Reasoning.
It reall is “Judges Trying Trump” and not “Trump’s Judges”.
In the Georgia case, some of the “counts” involve speech which in and of itself is protected by the 1st amendment. The prosecution asserts that the “speech” elements were made in support of a criminal conspiracy to insert a slate of electors illegally. The Defense would like to pick off the speech elements so that the whole fabric of the case unravels. In the context of this, the Judge’s comments were not unreasonable.
What needs doing is to destroy the central element the case depends upon. Was it illegal for Trump’s side to: petition the Ga Sec of State to look for illegal votes; urge the legislature to meet, examine the facts, and appoint electors as the Constitution provides; and to use free speech to promote the view that Trump had been cheated?
One Defendant’s attorney approached this, pointing out that at the time the “official” slate of electors was certified, Ga law prohibited their selection because litigation about the vote remained before the courts and unresolved by the time of a drop dead date.
I’m not sure where this went, or if there is a pending motion on this yet to be considered. Resolving this matter of law should be the priority of the Judge and Defense, since it a matter of law. Then there is the question of whether the election really was fatally flawed. Much evidence suggests that votes were counted that should not have been, in quantities that trigger the threshold for the election to be voided and a new one held.
