My fat ass has been planted there since well before indictments even started rolling out - and it still hasn't moved. Not sure I've ever wanted to be proven wrong quite this badly before. This team is even more dreary than my beloved Chicago Bears.Bro i saved a seat for you over here at Team Nothings-Gonna-Happen
my read also, the weasel
He has a really good lawyer they say, a former DOJ prosecutor and if anybody can cut a deal for Mark it is him, so his peers say. He is getting squeezed from both sides, state and federal, and needs to negotiate with both. If he has something to say about those Jack wants, they he will put in a good word with Willis, but he will have to squeal his head off there too. I'm pretty sure Jack would like to get Gym Jordan and others and if Mark could deliver...
This is justice, not a game show, the wheels grind slow, but they often grind fine and for this bunch the result will be very fine.
First, he is disqualified to run in the 2024 election or will be found so, if not ya might as well burn the US constitution. Second, he has been indicted in 3 jurisdictions, two in DC, on over 90 criminal counts with overwhelming evidence and witnesses in all cases. The clock is ticking, and trial dates being set, Trump is in the custody of the court(s) and under the thumb of four different judges, two federal and two state. He is one fuckup away from being jailed pretrial in Georgia or DC. A verdict in the J6 DC trial is expected before June of 24 at the latest and his trial begins the day before super Tuesday.
Regarding P01135809, I think he crossed a karma threshold that an unknown number of captains of industry and finance successfully avoided. In his instance, I think we have a real shot at the justice system being extended to its full reach, and taking a big’un all the way down. My figurative money is on Smith, not agent orange.
This is a pitched battle between fascists and the rest of us. Trouble is, the fascists are not only his fans. Convicting that man, though, will aid the side he is not on. Bigly.
From what you are saying, I'm wondering if you can change your point of view if things occur that challenge them. If Trump is convicted and sentenced to some form of state-controlled detention would you still hold the view the: " general feeling that accountability for wrongdoing isn't typically an actual thing that our public servants and officials need to concern themselves about to any real degree."
I can't answer for your unvoiced examples of lack of accountability. Life is not fair, I'll give you that. Simply looking at the effort and resources put into investigating and bringing Trump to trial, the government is behaving as if it is not just going through the motions. Would Garland have appointed Jack Smith to run an investigation in an office with 16 experienced prosecutors and a blank check if the effort was all for show? I begin with that as a question and not an answer. Jack Smith doesn't seem to me to be the kind of person who would accept that appointment. They are not behaving as if this is a sham effort. There is a fair amount of evidence that they have gathered and their indictment of Trump seems pretty much air tight. So, no. It does not look like Trump will be given a pass. Not if one can look at what's happened objectively.
I never said I thought it was for show. Presumably, the DOJ isn't likely to jump into such an undertaking without believing they have a winning case, so I'm not even suggesting that those who are publicly going after him have any intention of giving him a pass. The whole mania that's surrounded the orange idiot since 2015 just seems to have elevated to an effectively religious level for a disturbing number of people. I think that if facts and rational arguments worked on the religious, there probably wouldn't be much religion anymore.
That's all plausible. Thanks for sticking with me an explaining your reasoning. I misunderstood earlier.
