I meant, before even "everybody".Everybody knew about it before the sentencing.

thanks!Jack Smith's report on election fraud has been released to the public.
Downloadable copy here.
Six days left to get the report on mishandling/theft of classified documents. Any later than that and Felon 47 will be president and can probably stop it.
Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial
Garland is a Franz von Papen style reichwinger.Can anyone explain why it took so many years to get the report on election fraud written? Why couldn’t it have been done in two?
'Disappointed' does not begin to describe how I feel about the majority of voters in this country. Disgusted with them, embarrassed by them, and ashamed of them are better descriptions.I am profoundly disappointed in my own nation. I can't believe he gets away with everything and people voted him back into office.
What hadn't been expected was how much the federal judiciary, all the way to the supreme court, were willing to run interference on behalf of trump.
The sensible, sane solution here is that an act not being illegal means he can't be punished for doing it, not that he has to be allowed to do it. We don't have to punish the child who tries to steal the cookies, but that doesn't mean we have to let him steal the cookies.For the lack of a starting a new thread, this is mildly related that I'm thinking about.
Given the recent actions of things like killing the USAID or the blanket cutting the rate of indirect costs in science grants and all the cuts they are making. Courts are stopping these actions on the grounds that the executive branch does not have constitutional authority to do it. But the part that got me was when Susan Collins insists that his actions are "illegal." Congress as appropriated this funding, it's illegal for the President to cut it.
But here's the problem: So what? The USSC has decreed that it is not illegal if he acts within his duties as president. So he can literally do things that Congress says he can't?
As far as I can see, "It's illegal" is not a legitimate objection any more.
What it has to be is that these are not duties that are authorized by the constitution. But I fear the USSC has opened a huge can of worms here. Why does the President need to follow the rules of the Congress? He can do whatever he wants, legal or not.
Of course, he's even whining that courts aren't letting him do what he wants.
Hopefully, sane heads will prevail, but I'm not optimistic.
Ah, the old 'immunity syndrome'; Oh you don't want to self incriminate? Well here, have some immunity and now you can't, so self incrimination is no longer applicable.![]()
Trump’s Supreme Court Immunity Ruling Just Came Back to Bite Him
Donald Trump’s sweeping immunity is actually proving a hindrance in a lawsuit.newrepublic.com
judge rules that since the president has immunity from crimes and thus cannot be prosecuted anymore, releasing evidence of the cases against him via foia requests must be honored
Alas, I don’t think it will change much: the MAGAs already know that Trump is a criminal, and they don’t mind. Besides, it is fake news, and the judges are simply criminal activists posing as judges, and should be purged.Ah, the old 'immunity syndrome'; Oh you don't want to self incriminate? Well here, have some immunity and now you can't, so self incrimination is no longer applicable.
