Keep in mind I lived in Wyoming for quite a long time. I was quite good at country swing dancing and I had some Chris LeDoux CDs/cassettes and even some Rex Allen Jr.
Soooo... Jack Smith drops his charges because "the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated". Neat.
Election interference & classified docs cases are gonzo. Seems to be DOJ sticking with "can't indict a sitting president" smoke & mirrors. Well Biden should just go bananas then. But Dems won't, of course. BREAKING: The Justice Department is abandoning its classified documents case against Donald Trump after a similar move in its election interference case. https://t.co/zsB9CQBGmR— The Associated Press (@AP) November 25, 2024
Wait though isn't the basis here an internal DoJ memo? Seems like the only constitution relevant here is Garland's lack of same.
Surely he has a citation to a part of said document? A Supreme Court ruling from before they were bought and paid for? A law Congress passed? No? F****** coward.
So disappointing. There's pictures of boxes of classified documents in the guy's bathroom, but the justice system can't get it together to actually make any charges stick.
When you're rich, white, and powerful you can do anything. Poor and black? You're lucky if you're arrested, and not beaten up or murdered before you get to a cop car.
Trump, who doesn't see race, would argue that when you're a celebrity they'll let you get away with it.
I still need a few more minutes out back to empty my stomach. I'll meet you there. Order me some black coffee.
I forgot where the Rudy case goes. But he's in contempt because he's contemptible. A federal judge in New York has found former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for not complying with orders to turn over information about his assets to a pair of former Georgia election workers he defamed. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman made the contempt finding Monday afternoon after Giuliani testified over two days to answer questions about why he’d failed to hand over assets and court-ordered discovery information to help satisfy Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss’ $146 million defamation judgment against him. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...y-contempt-hearing-defamation-case-rcna186216
So apparently Smith has finished his report. Oh…and he let trump and team read it first. Can someone point to the law or DOJ policy that made this a requirement (sharing with trump)? ‘cause if it wasn’t a requirement…all this did is give trump the opportunity to file his injunction.
Not sure if it's a requirement or just a courtesy (unfortunately) to the incoming administration. But he'd be trying to enjoin its publication regardless.
Will probably be watered down to something you'd see on an elementary school report card "Donnie is mostly a good boy who strays at times. We've talked about it & he's learned his lesson"
Nauta's attorneys have already said they want it blocked because it's one-sided and presumes defendants' guilt.
