Expected Tit for Tat republican vengeance - we just need to bury the big fat orange tit first.
I was thinking Jack could do Donald for the docs and at some point, in the future it could be back to the Hague for Jack, just in time to do Vlad, who could show up there, ya never know, so far it's been stranger than fiction! A future epic legal tale of the man who brought two tyrants to justice, Jack, the giant slayer!

Hey m no lawyer but this sounds like an admission of guilt to me.
Jack will soon be the target of Donald's rage, the "deep state agent" who will soon prosecute his ass for the secret documents and obstruction of justice, bye Donald. The trial will be so fast that Donald will be dumb struck and none of the usual delay tactics will work, the government presents it case and evidence, then Donald's lawyers present his defense, which is non-existent. I figure the judge will set aside about a week maximum for this kind of case, he can squirm, and he can squeal, they've seen it all before in criminal court.

If Donald keeps showing up in NY for legal trouble, it could be in orange with shackles after the new year, ditto for his TV trial in Georgia, if he is in federal custody by then. He could also appear remotely from his cell; Americans will need to get their heads around the fact that the Teflon Don is going to prison. Whether it be a regular prison or some gilded cage, they will lock him up because he broke the law, got caught and will be found guilty in a federal DC court of law. I don't think Joe will pardon him or commute his sentence either.

you start jumping before you even strap the guns on...
he hasn't been indicted for anything yet. while i haven't paid attention to every case involving a special prosecutor, the few i have followed were anything but fast. i expect trump to die or have a debilitating stroke before they succeed in making anything stick to the slimy motherfucker.
i.o.u. one heartfelt apology if donald j trump is indicted for anything in the entire year of 2023...
i'll kiss your ass in the middle of main street and give you a day to draw a crowd first if he's convicted of anything...ANYTHING...until at least 2024, and i find even that highly doubtful.

I don't think Jack is gonna show Trump the "deference" that Garland did and will move forward, it's a simple case and all the homework has been done. Thanks to Donald most of the grounds for appeal are being taken care of before he is even indicted and that will be in DC. Jack is a sign the legal grinding machine is starting back up and Donald is in the hopper just like anybody else. The documents case will put Donald away real fast, and it is gonna shock most Americans, Trump most of all. How long do you think a federal judge will set aside to hear the documents and obstruction case, a week, two?

If I drop a rock off a high place, I can be fairly certain that gravity will take hold and down it will go, the law of gravity is about to take hold of Donald and down he will go too. I predict Jack won't fuck around once he gets going and will demonstrate that no one is above the law or a speedy trial. What the judge will do if he is convicted need not be guessed at, there are sentencing guidelines and the precident of many people who have gone before. The only real mystery is where and how he will do his time, which will be forever.

Alito denies involvement in leak of 2014 contraception case: reports
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has denied that he was involved in the leaking of a 2014 court ruling to a former anti-abortion activist following a New York Times report that a leak occurred.

Multiple news outlets reported that Alito issued a statement denying that he or his wife disclosed the court’s ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, a case on contraception and religious rights, early.

The Times reported that the Rev. Rob Schenck learned about the court’s decision in the case weeks before it was released. He said he learned of the ruling from Gayle Wright, a donor to the evangelical organization that Schenck ran at the time.
Wright and her husband had a meal with Alito and his wife, and a day later, Wright sent Schenck an email telling him to call her if he wanted “some interesting news.” The email was reviewed by the Times.

Schenck said that Wright told him the court would rule in favor of Hobby Lobby, deciding that for-profit companies can deny contraception coverage for employees based on a religious objection.
The court ultimately ruled 5-4 in favor of Hobby Lobby.

Alito said in his statement that he and his wife have a “casual and purely social relationship” with the Wrights. He said he did meet with them for a meal in June 2014 as Schenck claims but that he did not share the outcome of the case.

Wright also denied to the Times that she received or shared the information about the court’s ruling.
The Times reported that it interviewed four people who said that Schenck told them about the leak years ago, and emails that the outlet reviewed suggest that he had confidential information and was preparing the staff of his organization for a win.

The revelation comes months after the court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which the court overturned federal abortion rights established in Roe v. Wade, was leaked early. Chief Justice John Roberts condemned the leak at the time and announced that the court would launch an investigation into the source, but the court has been largely quiet on the status of the investigation since then.

Polls have shown a sharp drop in the public’s trust in the court since the leak and the court’s eventual ruling overturning Roe.
Schenck told the Times that he used the information to prepare a public relations campaign.
The Times reported that Schenck notified Roberts of the leak in the Hobby Lobby case in July, sharing that he informed Hobby Lobby’s CEO about what he knew a day or two before the court released its ruling.

Schenck’s views on abortion have shifted since then, and he is trying to establish himself as a progressive evangelical leader. He told the Times that he decided to speak out now because of the regret he feels for what happened.
“What we did was wrong,” he said.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) slammed the court on Twitter on Saturday for launching an investigation after the Dobbs leak but appearing not to act in this situation or with whether Justice Clarence Thomas knew of the efforts of his wife, Ginni Thomas, to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in certain states.

They sound like senate judiciary hearing witnesses to me!

If you actually go to the GOP's official website, you'll see that they don't have ANY policy platforms:
This isn't a joke, there's literally 3 sentences without any clarification of what they stand for or what policies they support.

Compare this to Democrat's official party website where they list out the party platforms, it's a staggering 91 pages of detailed policies and what they're pushing for from finance to foreign policy to healthcare and immigration: https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/

The republican party was always clear: they don't stand for ANYTHING except bringing down the Liberals. That's ALL they're about.
The last time they had a platform, one which provided support for Ukraine, Trump had it removed.
But the DONATE link is notable on all of their pages.

Sounds like ya need a senate judiciary committee hearing on this matter with everybody involved under oath. Alito has credibility issues over the Row case concerning his confirmation too and that could be brought up, senator Whithouse would have questions, hard ones.
