62. judges, justices, and voters stopped an actual prosecution in progress

Sat Nov 23, 2024, 07:40 PM

Nov 23

...I'm going to guess it'll be all blah, blah, blah, when the SC report is released, and all of the evidence Garland successfully acquired for the Smith, the grand juries, and myriad courts along the way points clearly to Trump's guilt.

Going to be interesting to watch the imaginations of the Fantasy Internet Prosecution scrambling to square their claims there wasn't an actual prosecution with the prosecutorial realities revealed in the actual indictments.

Will the FIP admit the evidence of guilt revealed in the indictments came from the DOJ prosecutors, or will they still be insisting the pundits, press, and internet prosecutors know better how to get a prosecution of a former president through the maze of republican judges and justuces doing their best to keep Trump from answering the charges already brought, in a courtroom?

Just spitballing here, since you're not really listening.
