So, no laws for the rich and they aren't even pretending.

Listen, I've seen this in every thread. The judges are just being extra careful so they can make sure the case doesn't get thrown out because it's a highly sensitive subject.

Four years just wasn't enough time. You have to be patient about these things. Give us another Friedman Unit or two to settle things out.

/s I hope? Otherwise you know she was appointed by trump right.

They're trying to conflate a right-wing judge's bias with those biG bAd LibErAlS who defend Garland's meticulous albeit slow investigation and hand-off to Jack Smith I guess.

This is case with the trial judge he appointed himself, not the criminal trial on the hush money. The latter is being handled seriously.

How many Scaramucci's is a Friedman Unit?

Not sure if sarcasm or not, but after following quite a few (yes, YouTube) lawyers on this subject, I think it's fair to say that a lot of it actually is that; Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard. last thing you want is to convict him, have fox news pull the "they made a mistake" cars, and actually be right. Once trump goes to jail, you better be sure he stays there.

Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard.

Trump is sloppy, inept, and surrounded by people who routinely rat him out.

He's not slippery. He's just standard-tier corrupt. That's all it takes to defer prosecution indefinitely.

Once trump goes to jail

He's not going to jail.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

This. I cannot believe how naive people are being about this Trump thing. He’s not going to jail.

If you've been following it, then you would know not to believe a single fucking thing Aileen Cannon says.
