A GW Law professor called this election the biggest jury verdict ever. He’s being legally correct while being relatable. |
We were 10 Senate votes shy of conviction and then he couldn't have run again. Cowards, every one of the 43 Senators who voted not guilty but especially the ones who had spoken openly of what Trump did wrong on J6 -- McConnell, Graham, etc. I hope they are forever remembered for that one vote. |
If it helps I expect that there are at least a few Republican Senators who regret not convicting him and barring him from office when they had the chance. |
They were investigating January 6 as soon as the top DOJ appointees were confirmed. They just started at the bottom like all investigations and ran out of time because Trump stalled and appealed everything. |
I think Jack Smith will release a report before the inauguration. |
Not a prosecutor, but am positive Jack Smith has tied this up as well as can be done.
While MAGA cheers Trump’s disdain for the rule of law and the civilized norms, it is a tragedy for our country that Trump was not held accountable for his treason. Still. Karma’s a relaxing thought. |
Jack smith should prepare to be bankrupted defending himself |
Nah. He can just run for president and then it would be political interference and lawfare to prosecute him. |
J6 is Trump's legacy. That's how he'll be remembered. |
Yep, his lawyers can't abuse the court system to hold that particular judgment off. |
Damnit! There’s no justice! |
+1 He did some good things in his first term, in and amongst the zaniness. But J6 obliterates all of that And obliterates every thing he will do in his second term, good, zany, or bad. |
OP ironically made the opposite point. The day was so consequential, it received its forever label "J6" or "January 6th". |
+1 exactly. This is a strategic move. |
Not really. Prospective jurors can be dismissed for any number of reasons, like being too low IQ to understand a case, by either side. There is nothing preventing low IQ people from voting. |
