A Georgia judge has rejected former president Donald Trump’s attempt to block Fulton County DA Fani Willis from bringing indictments against him or anyone else based on the results of a special grand jury investigation into his effort to overturn his 2020 election loss in the Peach State.
Were they actually wanting to prohibit indictments on the basis that those indictments would amount to ‘injury’? Meaning that anyone can commit any crimes they want, forever, and never be indicted, because ‘indictment would be injurious to me’?
Are you fucking kidding me right now? Did these lawyers get their degrees from the University of Because I Said So?
If I understood it right, their complaint was that Trump was being singled out, which is unfair under the 14th amendment. I wasn’t aware that the 14th amendment made it impossible to prosecute criminals.
That’s just as circularly weak, of course. When “evidence of crime” is apparent, and that evidence leads to “specific persons,” it stands to reason that those persons would be “singled out” to receive indictments for the crimes for which there is evidence.
Or are they saying that everyone everywhere should be indicted for a specific person’s criminal activity?
That would be the reciprocal. It’s literally that you can’t investigate Trump because it’s not fair that you’re investigating him specifically. Them launching these kinds of F-Tier challenges makes me think that they know that they’re fucking sunk. How’s the saying go? “When the facts are against you, pound the law. When the law is against you, pound the facts. When the facts and the law are against you, pound the table”? They’re pounding the table with everything they’ve got.
I imagine the end strategy is twofold: one, to milk as much time, and therefore billable hours (assuming these are paid…) out of the defendant, and two, to throw as much legal shit at the wall as they can and hope that the more intelligent lawyers on the other side are tied up by the law in order to make their case for them.
From there, continue to stall until either Trump dies or becomes president again. Either way his likelihood of seeing the inside of a cell is quite low.
In medicine, it’s called “spaghetti plate medicine”, because you throw the whole spaghetti plate at the wall to see what sticks. It’s not exactly something that happens when you’re feeling confident.
I agree, I doubt he’ll actually see a cell. I would be gravely concerned if Trump actually got elected again, him and the power hungry stooges that follow him won’t cock up the same way twice (I think).
Suing for the right not to be sued. Isn’t our society glorious?
You get a justice boner, you get a justice boner, everyone gets a justice boner!
So many charges and still nothing but headlines. I’ll get a justice boner when justice is actually served. For now, it’s just justice blue balls.
