Judge hits pause on Trump's election interference criminal case
The prosecutor said he would notify the court in December about how he plans to move forward, likely the first step in unwinding the case against Trump.
Summary
The judge in Donald Trump’s federal election interference case has paused proceedings, allowing special counsel Jack Smith until December 2 to determine how to proceed, likely the first step in ending the prosecution.
Following Trump’s election victory, the DOJ, which traditionally avoids prosecuting sitting presidents, is considering dropping this and a separate classified documents case.
Meanwhile, Trump faces ongoing state-level charges in New York and Georgia, though these cases may be delayed during his presidency.
Civil cases against Trump, including ones brought by New York AG Letitia James and E. Jean Carroll, will continue.
You're viewing a single thread.
No hope here, but Biden needs to get rid of Garland and put in an AG that might take one last go with some teeth. Won't happen because they are diluting themselves to believe a status quo will still prevail. The experiment failed.
Garland will go down in history as an unimaginable coward. Enjoy your legacy, you luke warm piece of shit. I hope future generations have enough appreciation for history to piss on your fucking grave.
He was supposed to be on SCOTUS, too, nominated by Obama. I truly wonder what the court decisions would've looked like if the Republicans didn't obstruct that nomination.
The thing that makes him a shit AG is actually what would have probably made him a decent SCOTUS justice. He's measured and frightened to show any emotion in his work. He's also SLOW AS FUCK. These would make him a decent moderate justice for something rising to the level of SCOTUS.
Instead we'll get that fuckwad Cannon as soon as Thomas dies.
Not death... him and at least or one other justice will now willingly "early" retire to sacrifice their seat to a very young and very fucking stupid trump cultist who will sit in that lifetime appointment for the next 40-50 years.
This isn't just you and I, if there's still a country at that point, your great, great grandkids will feel the repercussions of this moment.
