He has that same dumbass judge who got slapped around by the Appeals Court….I doubt if she’ll recuse herself, so she may help Trump by slowing the trial down and not allowing certain evidence to be introduced, which would be appealed, and thus slowing down the trial, to perhaps past the election….this game ain’t over.


She’s the perfect judge for the trump delay game.

Stupid amnesty question.  So as a defendant you can request a trial by jury.  If cannon ends up as the judge, can Trump waive that right and the prosecution is stuck with her?  If Trump waves having a jury trial, can the prosecution then select a jury trial because Cannon is nuts.

I think on the federal level, the prosecution must consent to a defendant's request for a jury trial.

Something isn't right here to me.  I've read the indictment and as fully encompassing as it seems to be, I don't think this is the end of the document stuff, but just part of it.  For one, Meadows, who helped orchestrate the original taking of the documents isn't mentioned in the indictment (unless I missed a page).  That seems like a big missing piece of this.  I'm beginning to wonder if there are actually 2 different grand juries working on 2 different parts of this.  We obviously know about the grand jury in Florida where the indictments are happening Tuesday, but we also know of another grand jury in DC.  It was long presumed that the case would be handled in DC, but as the lawyers here made clear for venue reasons and to prevent technicalities being open to appeal, this part of the indictment was made in Florida.  A couple of questions about this:

1.  The crimes outlined in the indictment all pretty much seem to have occurred in Florida, is this because of where it happened?  (I realize some of the evidence also points to happenings in New Jersey, but mostly Florida).  

2.  Is it possible to have an entirely separate case in DC about the original theft by taking?  Basically, different crimes, different jurisdiction?  I have no idea if this is even potentially a thing.  

So basically, might this not be the end of the document scandal, but rather the beginning?

I think everyone automatically assumes that since this indictment was done that the grand jury in DC must now be fully related to Jan. 6th, is it possible that there is more than one grand jury in DC, one for more of the documents, and one for Jan. 6th?

It appears to be fake, but there are people out there trying to stir shit up, most likely a lot of Russian bots, with the help of the Qanon idiots, and those that just want to see things burn and people die.

I'm afraid they're bringing in Meal Team 6 to rescue the president. I hope the guard has an adequate supply of gravy to fend off the onslaught.

Seal Team 4XL better hope there's no walking involved in their revolution.  Crawling was also not part of their basic training, for obvious reasons.  And at this point, why bother with camo?  It's not like nobody can spot them.  "See the fat ass struggling up the courthouse steps?"  "Wearing camo?"  "Yeah, that's him."  "Camo with red, white and blue flags, sir?"  Just all adds up, doesn't it?  "Hey, y'all don't forget the coolers, the ones with wheels.  We're going to need cold beverages and nobody wants to carry a cooler full of ice and Miller Light up those steps."

The thing that really kills me is these worthless un-American shitbag fucksticks really think they're patriots. 

It's the fact that they think they'd survive in a fight with the government, whether it be county, state, or feds, that gets me.

Americans are stupid.  And water is wet.  Individuals are smart and thoughtful, but as a whole, people in general are the absolute worst.  This shouldn't be news to any of you.  

Anyways, I was on a plane when the news came down.  Glad to see this orange piece of shit is finally suffering the consequences of his fucking actions.  Now if only his cult following would have the same shit happen to them.  I am so tired of awful people.  I had an incident Memorial Day weekend where my friend and I had stopped into a pub after a Broadway Show.  My firend started talking to the man beside her.  I completely ignored their conversation until he said something idiotic like, "Trump did a much better job on the border than Biden."  I mean, come the fuck on.  A fucking wall that would never work?  What an idiot.  

Anyway, happy Indictment weekend. As bad as Nixon and Reagan are, they never would have done what Trump did.  They, like all our Presidents, had a calling to serve the country, even if their idea of how to do that was absolutely horrific.  Trump only became President to serve himself. What a piece of shit.

Also, what I have seen coming out are two things.  Thursday, the GQP was all given talking points that Biden had accepted 2 $5M payments associated with Burisma (this is what MTG and BoBo were blathering about how they went to SCIF to see this memo).  That memo was a tip the FBI got when TRUMP was President, and that Bill Barr's FBI investigaged and could not corroborate.  So all the GQP blathering, including that asshat from Kentucky Comer is about this shit. I have a feeling they knew an indictment or some bad news was coming down becuase shit really ramped up Wednesday and Thursday.

Now, I am hearing Trumpworld saying he had a right to those records under the Presidential Records Act, so that is their new talking point.  L-o-fucking-l.  These people are so incredibly stupud, it is unreal.

Yes, he can elect trial before the court and there's nothing the government can do about it.

But, assuming Smith has the goods, which I think he does, Matthew Kaczmaryk and Clarence Thomas would have to convict, let alone Aileen Mercedes Cannon.  

He'd be much better off betting on a hung jury with a magat.

Actually, more than that.  At least BrickHorn and I are engineers and lawyers.  Couple of others running around. IIRC, Brick has an MSEE, even.  Respek.

Possible, yes.  I think this is it, though, for Trump and the documents.  

There's no "theft of documents" crime, per se.  18 USC 793 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793 does make it an offense to " copies, takes, makes, or obtains, or attempts to copy, take, make, or obtain" defense information.  But, I don't think they have solid evidence of knowledge and intent on the days surrounding January 20, 2021.

As we have seen with Biden and Pence, shit happens packing out, what makes it criminal is what happens later, when it's discovered.

So, although technically they could attempt to charge him with 793(b) for the initial taking, I think for evidentiary reasons (lack of) and policy reasons, they won't.

fascinating, shocking, not shocking, unbelievable, depressing  - lots.

I lost it at “this is just an excuse to cover for Biden and probably Obama too.” Of course they find a way to work Obama in here because why not?

This is one of the underrated funny parts of the C GOP reaction. An indictment doesn’t come down from Biden himself on high. Trump was indicted by a grand jury of citizens in notoriously Trump-hostile… Florida. Statistically at least half the grand jury likely either for him or is apolitical and had no real preconceived opinion.

Couldn't even finish the ineffective wall. 

No president can really do much about the border until congress fixes immigration, which looks like it'll never happen.
