Shrug. They could have tried I suppose. Probably wouldn’t have made it past the grand jury, but who knows?
Why does it seem that only one side takes these scorched earth approaches using "novel" ideas while the other side is fighting by Marquess of Queensberry rules?
Remember the quote by John Adams:
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.We can debate the morality of people in office, but I will remind you that Clinton was in office when he sexually abused Lewinsky, while the charges against Trump occurred before he was in office.
The immunities case involves actions Trump took while in office, but it is debatable whether the actions were immoral or un-presidential.
What isn't debatable (to me), is the immorality of people like Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis, who campaigned on "getting Trump" as retaliation for winning the 206 election against Hillary Clinton and then abused the power of their offices once they got power.
Adams' quote wasn't about the character of people before they took office, it was about the morality of their actions while in office. In my book, it's the morality of James, Bragg, Willis, Engoron, and now perhaps Merchan that's on display here, because they are in office now.
