Andrew Weissmann and Barbara McQuade discuss. - Aired on 10/03/2024.

1. Good thing the DOJ got right on this, huh?

It could have been a real disaster if this information didn't get out and get before the voters in time. Even worse maybe if it failed to get before a seated jury with expedience or at least by election day 2024. I mean, we only got 4 years to get this universally acknowledged and obvious factual stuff out. Let's hurry before it's too late, okay?

I'm just kidding. Everything will work out just right. Right?

2. It's long, long past time - just in time for the next election when the convicted felon is inexplicably allowed to run

The question is whether it will make a difference.

3. That is indeed the question.

It's like there is a door to a room where darkness prevails. Where unspeakable sadness and multigenerational despair dwell. One can sense the menace by merely approaching the threshold.

And still there are so many (too many?) who cannot resist the siren's call. They must see and confirm the reality which every sane nerve in their body screams, "do not open". Sometimes people are beyond foolish. In my experience, that's when nature provides a, usually unpleasant, reality check.

4. I really don't get it, no one could possibly have come up with a more unqualified, offensive or dangerous candidate

If they tried - yet there are those out there who actually support him to lead the country?! Before his first election, I went to a reunion with the girls who I grew up with and I said that I'd sooner vote for the next person who drove by than him - and they agreed with me. And now that he's a convicted felon, attempted to overthrow the government, put this country in danger by stealing classified documents, responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths by ignoring a world pandemic, found guilty of sexual abuse and illegal business practices, not to mention has threatened to become a dictator - and there are still people willing to vote for him now?!
