The POT, formerly known as the GOP, circles the wagons.

[HikerGuy83]

There is no evidence, none, that Trump has been unjustly charged or is being unjustly prosecuted. Faced with that reality his Repub defenders have decided the best course of action left to them is accuse the prosecutors of being unjust.

It is another way they tug at the fabric of our constitutional republic's system of justice in an attempt to pull it apart in the eyes of the public. A goal not coincidentally shared by the world's autocracies. Especially the man responsible for the slaughter of thousands of human beings in Ukraine.

You might be right.

But guess what ?

She might be afraid that an accounting entry would get misnamed and coupled with a nondisclosed act and she would get convicted in a Red State.

Last week you were trying to convince us you were a trial lawyer. This week your display ignorance and stupidity around legal statutes is actually laughable.

Neither of your assertions are actually true.

Then why do so many of us say Trump is guilty as hell and it's long past time that he was arrested for his criminal behaviour?????

What Trump is going through is called the "rule of law" - something he's played fast and loose with all of his life. Trump brags about bribing politicians, sexually assaulting women, and other crimes he commits.

The Bible says that when you condemn others, you will receive the punishment you wish on those you condemn. Trump called HIllary Clinton, "Crooked Hillary", lead the chants to "Lock her up" even though there was no evidence whatsoever that Hillary is "crooked", or has committed any crimes at all.

Trump, Michael Flynn and Rudy Gulliani all lead crowds in chanting "Lock her up!" throughout the campaign. And looks what happening to all of these liars and crooks!!!!

Karma truly is a bitch!!!

Georgia appeals court agrees to review ruling allowing Fani Willis to stay on Trump election case

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia appeals court on Wednesday agreed to review a lower court ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue to prosecute the election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump.

Trump and some other defendants in the case had tried to get Willis and her office removed from the case, saying her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created a conflict of interest. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in March found that no conflict of interest existed that should force Willis off the case, but he granted a request from Trump and the other defendants to seek an appeal of his ruling from the Georgia Court of Appeals.

That intermediate appeals court agreed on Wednesday to take up the case. Once it rules, the losing side could ask the Georgia Supreme Court to consider an appeal.

Just like the immunity case, a court controlled by Repubs has aided and abetted Trump's goal of delaying a trial.

Retribution will just have us endlessly circling the drain.

As long as the persecution is one way it is okay with Progs. The persecution against Progs has not even begun yet from Republicans. Nature though will not be denied, and Progs are slowly eating themselves now. And of course they are in denial. Yesterday, Joe gave a speech on antisemitism while his party has had agendas that caused it. And he was part of it. Presidential speeches can be something to rally around. You have to have true character though. Views that change with the wind does not endear memorable historical remembrances. To Republican voters, Progs represent the end of a sovereign nation. And Republican politicians have helped it along. We have seen a microcosm of what the infection in education as one example has done to Americans. The protests/riots/insurrections currently happening will lead to true terrorism at some point. Cafes, sports stadiums, malls, any public place will be open to mass casualties as America is a virgin to this. That means more losses of unalienable rights to compensate.

Georgia Senate panel ready to subpoena Fulton DA in probe of her conduct in Trump racketeering case

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said Monday that she will not testify before a Georgia Senate committee investigating her on accusations of misconduct while pursuing a felony racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and his allies.

On Monday, Willis announcing that she will not appear before the special investigative panel was in response to committee Chairman Bill Cowsert, an Athens Republican, stating last week that the Fulton DA would be subpoenaed if she refused to voluntarily testify.

Willis cannot be sanctioned by the Senate committee, but it can issue subpoenas for her to turn over evidence and to testify under oath. Former Gov. Roy Barnes, who declined Willis’ offer to serve as special prosecutor in 2021 in the case against Trump,,

On Monday, Willis questioned whether the special committee had the legal authority to compel her to testify.

“I will not appear before anything that is unlawful and I have not broken the law in any way,” she said during a press conference where she was joined by Black religious leaders endorsing her reelection bid.
https://georgiarecorder.com/2024/05...l ready to,conduct in Trump racketeering case

GA Repubs, ever at the ready to protect the Don, is doing what it can to compromise Willis's prosecution of the MAGA god.

Not to be outdone, Gym Jordan, in an audition to become Trump's AG, is riding to Don's rescue by trying to smear the prosecution in the hush money case.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding documents and information about the Biden Department of Justice's (DOJ) coordination with New York County District Attorney (DANY) Attorney Alvin Bragg and his politicized prosecution of President Donald J. Trump. Matthew Colangelo, a former senior DOJ official, is a lead prosecutor for Bragg and the case centers on testimony from a convicted felon who had been previously prosecuted by the Justice Department.
https://judiciary.house.gov/media/p... Today, House,Alvin Bragg and his politicized

These are plays right out of the Trumpian playbook. The judge in the Daniels case may have stifled Trump's efforts to continue smearing everyone in sight, but he has no control over Repub elected officials ability to abuse their authority in service of His Orangeness.

Meanwhile on his social media platform a certain increasingly unhinged defendant in 4 criminal cases wrote........."ARREST DERANGED JACK SMITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL."

You'll never guess how many congressional Repubs publicly condemned the open attack on the rule of law.

When I began using the acronym POT for Party of Trump I did not imagine the transformation of the former GOP in to a party all consumed with their Dear Leader would be so complete. I've never been so wrong. Members are absolutely all in or they are jettisoned as unfaithful pariahs. It's been horrifying to watch.

I think the current governor will protect her....she knows where the bodies are buried. Five will get you 10 she's already threatened to pull the covers off of everything if they press her too tightly. My guess is that she will disappear from the case and that the case will slowly but surely wind down to some kind of local fine.

That's why they are so psychotic over delays.
Everyone understands that they simply trying to interfere in the election.

What does the practical affect of circling the wagons look like? A DA who has to move out of her home and be accompanied by body guards because of threats on her life. One who had the legislature from the state in which she lives write new legislation giving that body oversight authority over her actions. One who has had her personal life made a spectacle of in a failed attempt to throw her off a case. One who has had the legislature from the state in which she lives announce another investigation in to the practices of her office. One who has had Repub members of the House and Senate announce they too would be looking in to ways to compromise her ability to do her job.

Why do Repubs accuse Dems of subverting of the legal system? Because Repubs are trying to subvert the legal system.

She is being attacked by Repubs for trying to keep Trump from being above the law. As he claims he is by trying to invoke presidential immunity for the crimes he is alleged to have committed.

Not surprisingly, because it happens so often, your accusations are a mirror image of what you yourself (and Repubs) do.

I think he initially rejected the idea. But he understands he too will be consumed by Trumpery unless he plays along with the madness.
