That is incorrect.

He has zero chance because multiple factors are aligned against him, and it only takes one of them to eliminate him from the presidency. The trials are a factor. Disqualification is a factor. His false financial wherewithal and falsely perceived strength is a factor that could give way in an...

muttly's ignorant characterization aside, I agree with your point. No one knows what they don't know. Nevertheless, it seems to me Garland could have and should have appointed a special counsel earlier than he did. As you said, a whole lot of investigating was going on before Smith was...

Good News for Sedition Hunters; Bad News for Insurrectionists "House Republicans will no longer blur the faces of Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioters in security footage posted online, Speaker Mike Johnson announced Friday."...

It looks like someone might have spoken too soon.

As I expected, the DOJ 60 day rule will not apply in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, because the rule itself has included this exception for a long time; long before Trump was an item on the political radar. "An attorney with the special counsel Jack Smith's team told a judge Friday that holding...

I agree that Trump is a flight risk. His defection to Russia is a distinct possibility.

I don't think Trump will ever end up homeless and hungry on the street. Long before that happened, he'd stop paying his lawyers to delay court cases. Speedy trials would come and Trump would receive three hots and a cot in prison.

Trump's Financial Realities Trump has long bragged he is a billionaire many times over. Trump testified under oath less than a year ago that he had “substantially in excess of $400 million in cash.” Trump lawyer Alina Habba said that he is worth “billions and billions and billions of dollars”...

It has not looked good for Willis and Wade since news of their romance broke. Monumentally stupid for them to go down that road. Again, I'm not going to presume what the judge is thinking or how he will rule. We'll know soon enough

The Trump Media/DWAC Merger May be Delayed Various parties are involved in this merger. They are now battling each other in court and the lawsuits may delay the merger. In the meantime, the reported $4 billion windfall to Trump from this merger has fallen to $3 billion because the stock price...

She seems to now be very careful about doing everything she can to provide Trump with his desired delays, while staying just short of anything that might put the case in the 11th Circuit, where she has been slapped down before, and where she could be removed from this case. Maybe she and Fani...

It would have been preferable for AG Garland to have appointed Special Counsel Smith months before he did. There was no good reason to delay that but he chose to pussy foot around instead.

Reaction to SCOTUS Decision to Hear and Delay the Jan 6 Case LIz Cheney summarized the views of many who support a speedy trial in the Jan 6 election subversion case. From the reactions and commentary expressed, they don't seem to mind that the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, but they...

Another State Disqualifies Trump From Ballot Ruling in Illinois stayed to allow for appeal. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/cook-county-judge-kicks-trump-off-illinois-primary-ballot-but-puts-ruling-on-hold/3368905/

No. Exceptions were written into the policy long before Trump was elected the first time. Of course there is no need. Anything MAGA can do to keep Trump from answering for his crimes is just fine.

I would not put great faith in that policy. An exception is written into it that allows DOJ to pursue a case where the evidence is fully developed, which it is in this case. In any event, October is months away and a lot can happen between now and then that makes this question of little...

Wow! SCOTUS to hear Trump's criminal immunity appeal. That will surprise many, including me. Now we wait to see how they will rule, and until the justices rule, we'll endure endless speculation about what they are thinking. Arguments are set for April 22. This will significantly delay the...
