I think this is Trump’s ace in the hole. Almost as if the WHs arranged it. Input evidence with no real risk.
Amen, we are on the same page. How does one legally provide evidence to the public ? here it is.
Exactly, this is all a game. It's optics.
President Reagan’s attorney general and two law professors who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia are challenging special counsel Jack Smith’s authority to prosecute former President Donald Trump, saying a private citizen can’t bring criminal charges.
Former Attorney General Edwin Meese and law professors Steven Calabresi and Gary Lawson said in a 25-page filing to the Supreme Court that Attorney General Merrick Garland had no constitutional or statuary authority to appoint Mr. Smith to conduct the high-level criminal investigation of Mr. Trump because he was a private citizen and not confirmed by the Senate.
Mr. Smith worked as a U.S. attorney but was living in the Netherlands at the time of his appointment in November 2022, according to reports.
Individuals can bring criminal charges. I just read it in the Georgia handbook for grand juries. Smith might have skipped the grand jury part? Swear an affidavit with the P..c get a magistrate to sign it and then it goes to the grand jury. If indicted goes to court. The document was posted here about 3 days ago.
Jackass Smith looks like a moron.
You are to kind hearted. He is spiritually dead along with brain dead .
I can agree with your description.
Amen. Gods will be done.
Of course not
Now ask these Judges how they missed these glaring facts. I suspect pleading the 5th will be their response as they lawyer up.
Exactly.... they'll claim they just didn't understand... or mosy likely repeat what they are told to say.
I'm sure they ALL had an opportunity to do the right thing, that time has passed.
Amen, that ship has sailed for doing the right thing. Time for arrests and trials.
Part of me thinks this is coming from the swamp.. something they've been keeping in their back pocket if prosecution didn't go their way. Just so they can shout "Trump was guilty, but only got off on a technicality"
We can throw it back in their lap they did not abide by the law. They can stick that in their pipes and smoke it.
Correct because it's all theater for rhe sleepies.
Amen. more of the you have to show the people.
And all those that appointed him didn't know this?!... boy, I bet they well be "shocked" & "baffled"
They had a duty and obligation to know.
