Column: Jack Smith's latest push to get Donald Trump's Jan. 6 trial moving before the election
The special counsel urged the Supreme Court to let the case proceed as soon as possible rather than delaying it for theoretical questions about presidential immunity.
"Given the importance of the trial schedule, the key practical question is whether the court focuses solely on Trump’s case or endorses immunity in other instances. Smith’s gambit is a fallback that would let the court order the trial to proceed even if its opinion extends to broader principles of immunity."
That would be some serious abracadabra shit if he pulls this off.
David Blaine, watch out!
I wanna know: How the ever living fuck does Trump get the apparently best, dirtiest lawyers that get him out of everything when he’s famous for never paying his lawyers? Wtf?
Ghouliani is about to not only be homeless, but get strung up and do hard time because if Trump. And he has multiple teams of new lawyers doing horrible things again for him now. HOW??
69In this case the answer to your question is a crooked judge is helping trump
35That’s also happening, but that’s a separate issue.

They're working for something better than money. Exposure! Don't you know working for such a big name will do better things for their career than money! At least, that's what they tell artists.
19They're not the best, they are just flinging shit at the wall and the corruption is deep enough that the shit penetrates it and sticks. 'Like dissolves like' and all that, but with stickiness. I also seem to remember something about the recent ones have all been paid in advance.
6Truthfully, his lawyers at this point are legitimately not good. Look at his defamation damages. These are not the best lawyers by a long way - those lawyers are keyed into his scheme to not pay them and also usually don't want to be associated with a completely unreliable client.
The last time he had good lawyers was probably the first impeachment. Now he's just coasting on delay tactics. It's working because it's worked for 70 years to threaten and delay. That actually does make people defensive, deferentially overcautious, and usually diminishes his liability. It will be a great day when that's no longer enough to hold back justice, but we're not there yet.

To date, the court has not seemed very sensitive to the political imperative of a verdict that gives voters a piece of critical information before the November election: whether one of the candidates is guilty of a scheme to subvert the last one. That is in stark contrast to the court’s obvious speed in deciding Trump’s eligibility for the Colorado ballot before the state’s primary.
44Remember when they dragged their feet for 2 years before they got this process started?
30It certainly feels that way, but it's important to have all of your ducks in a row before you go after a former president, especially one who has had such crazy influence on a large portion of the country. It would not do well to miss something or make a misstep that results in a not guilty and immunity via double jeopardy. Getting through the investigation and all of the interviews would take forever, not to mention charging others to get them to flip.
28They would have to trip in to a wood chipper to fuck this up. There is no fucking excuse. He has a MILLION charges to deal with. They could've lined ONE jail-worthy charge up and snapped him up months upon months ago, but noooo. He's more guilty than OJ and he wrote a book that was effectively titled, "I DID IT", yet he's free FOUR FUCKING YEARS. I call BS on that kind of "justice" system.

That's why they spent decades stacking the courts — to enable the fascist coup.

Why are they wasting thare time trump allredy went thru a trial when they tryed to impeach him he was acquitted unless they have new evadance this is going to be a case of double jeopardy Fifth Amendment states, "No person shall .be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb trump they had thare chance to get trump and they failed
-114Spoken (barely) like someone who has no idea what he's talking about. Before you respond, get a spell checker and brush up on your grammar.
31Look, that guy has a lot of lies to post on a lot of social media. The people who are going to fall for it are too stupid to catch the bad spelling and grammar, so there's no point in wasting time trying to look like his IQ is in the upper half of the curve.
9Not to mention a basic understanding of what impeachment is and isn't
