    Have we? Last I heard, this was an another attempt by Trump to delay, delay, delay.

    I've seen no proof other than Trump's bloviating. Got some?

    I refuse to believe you're that clueless about lawyers. Have you met any? Do you know why sharks won't eat them? Professional courtesy.

    They don't hammer at the system from without, they go in deep. They don't break the law in order to subvert it, they manipulate the law to suit their purpose. Just as the SCOTUS did when they overturned Roe, which had been established constitutional law for decades. I could site other examples, but I'm sure that you get my meaning.

    They do make themselves known, don't they? No need to look for a tell.

    Something you'll never hear from the ex-president, "Give me my day in court to defend myself".

    Ironic? Not at all. It's exactly the kind of horseshit coming out of Team Trump one would expect. Tarnishing the system and the players in it is the result of an inability to defend himself on the merits. It explains his attacks and by extension the attacks of his acolytes.

    That's a common refrain among MAGAists. A response indicating a belief that anything Trump or his defenders do in pursuit of his goals is perfectly acceptable as long as it isn't illegal. Ethics, morals, and basic decency be damned. And when the legal line has been clearly crossed the pivot to attacking the system of justice and those who participate in it begins.

    Having successfully defended herself in a court of law from accusations by a Trump co-defendant GA Repubs see an opening to keep smears against her in the public eye. Their actions are transparent as are their goals. Keep the rubes agitated, using character assassination to enhance their devotion to he who is without fault.

    You point out that politics is ugly. I've said that countless times. It started with her political move to bring a fraud prosecution in a case where nobody was defrauded. She is getting politics in return. I agree with the ugliness on both sides.

    Your attempt to falsely equate the premise of the thread with the idea "they all do it" is in utter shambles.

    Georgia appeals court agrees to review ruling allowing Fani Willis to stay on Trump election case

    ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia appeals court on Wednesday agreed to review a lower court ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue to prosecute the election interference case she brought against former President Donald Trump.

    Trump and some other defendants in the case had tried to get Willis and her office removed from the case, saying her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade created a conflict of interest. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in March found that no conflict of interest existed that should force Willis off the case, but he granted a request from Trump and the other defendants to seek an appeal of his ruling from the Georgia Court of Appeals.

    That intermediate appeals court agreed on Wednesday to take up the case. Once it rules, the losing side could ask the Georgia Supreme Court to consider an appeal.

    The appeals court’s decision to consider the case seems likely to cause a delay in a case and further reduce the possibility that it will get to trial before the November general election, when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president.

    Just like the immunity case, a court controlled by Repubs has aided and abetted Trump's goal.

    Trump attempted to defraud Georgia voters. Are you claiming that the phone call with Brad Raffensperger was innocent?

    Judge Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump’s classified docs trial

    The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal case in Florida — on charges that he hoarded classified secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate after his presidency — has indefinitely postponed the trial, once scheduled for May 20.

    The date had been widely expected to move amid a tangle of pretrial conflicts between special counsel Jack Smith and Trump’s attorneys. Smith had urged Judge Aileen Cannon to reschedule the trial to begin on July 8, but an order from the judge on Tuesday afternoon suggested that she is unlikely to even decide on a new trial date before late July.

    Further evidence she should have been honest enough to recuse herself from a case she clearly can not be impartial presiding over.

    Zero doubt, just a lot of pathetic denial.

    Clearly as a biased , crooked , MAGA sycophant, she should be removed and prosecuted.

    ( now where have I heard that before…..oh yes, what the MAGA types are saying about the DA and judge in the NY trial !)

    No but he isn't charged with anything related to that.

    She's actually figured out quite well how to stay in charge and also please Trump (maybe with help, she's met with the Trump team without the DOJ being present) stalling the trial into the future AKA indefinitely. Make no rulings on motions and hold hearing but never make any rulings after. Hence no rulings to be appealed and she totally controls her court timing docket. It's an obvious game and there is no way this is due to lack of judicial experience.

    Not to mention the all-out push against the prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case. They have no honor and no sense of shame.
