This also means it comes out when early voting in the earliest states starts around 45-50 days out. That’s mid septemberish. Pennsylvania is one of those states that starts then.
 

 

Weissman is a pretty good commentator as they go on X.  Supposedly, he was a quite formidable AUSA (led the Mueller team) and a bit of a dick.  He comes off as very owlish on TV/video, though.

Good thing there are 34 counts.  I don't think any of it is getting an acquittal, but if I'm wrong, I don't think it knocks more that a couple out (and that might be a stretch).

I hope you’re right. I am not super familiar with the evidence used other than stormy Daniels testimony lol.

No, a reversal sends the case back to her. There's a chance the appellate court kicks her off in their decision, though.

As was I.  There was some hope in .e that we could weather 4 years of Trump and move on.  I was incredibly naive and terribly wrong.

It's like in the great stories Mr. Brisket, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. l know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in the world, Mr. Brisket, and it's worth fighting for.

Garland being a pussy and refusing to investigate Trump for nearly 2 years is why we're here now. He needs to fucking resign and his replacement needs to be willing to start arresting state level GOP officials who are openly plotting their next coup right now.

After she gets reversed, she'll then wait until the jury is sworn in before dismissing it again. Then it's donezo. 

It's a multi step plan.

Might? You really have a shred of remaining faith that this isn't a coup that has nothing to do with reason, precedent, logic, decency or any consideration other than it's time to put a handful of billionaires in complete control through a puppet king?

Smith will appeal immediately to the 11th Circuit.  I'm not sure there's any particular basis this time to expedite the appeal, as there was last time, as this order actually terminates the criminal case, so there's no underlying case to worry about.  But I'm not sure how that works, tbh.

There were several different arguments advanced that were subtly different. The one she seized upon is the one that has been rejected everywhere else, including in a very similar fashion by the Supreme Court itself in Morrison v. Olson, 487 U.S. 654 (1988); referenced with approval by this very Court in the CFPB case.

Not on this. He's not good at his job, but this case was getting tossed in any event. She would have found another "reason."

There are 4 votes to grant cert at SCOTUS and a stay. There’s no way this case will be tried

Yup. Biden needs to quit worrying about the propriety of being perceived as attempting to affect the case and just go ahead and publish all of the evidence against Trump (though if he wants to wait until October to do so, I'm ok with that). "I'd hoped that the legal system wasn't broken yet, but it is clear that MAGA judges and justices will never allow the American people to see this evidence" is an easy enough explanation.
