The equal justice is that he IS being indicted for crimes HE allegedly committed. If he wasn't charged THAT would be two tiered. Are you suggesting a former president is above the law? Because in the old days, that would be a king. We had a revolution over that, remember?

+1 And he’s been treated with kid gloves for two years. He basically begged DOJ to prosecute. Anyone else would have been in prison by now.

The summons sent to former President Donald Trump and his legal team late Thursday indicates that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon will be assigned to oversee his case, at least initially, according to sources briefed on the matter.

Our failure as a country is being exposed. This is ridiculous.

The court rules give the chief judge power to bend them "whenever necessary in the interest of justice and expediency, the Court may modify the assignments made to active or senior Judges"

I assume this report just means that she signed the summons. That's the only logical place for the judge's name to appear on the summons. The report also says that Magistrate Judge Reinhart is also on there. Magistrate judges often handle arraignments instead of district judges, but I can't figure out why two judges would sign it.

Also should add that, while I've never practiced in SDFL, in every federal court I'm familiar with, the trial judge gets assigned after the arraignment, not before. This all seems premature worrying.

Yeah, because that worked out so well for Gerald Ford, not to mention thwarting a precedent that could have helped in this instance 🙄

This doesn't work out well no matter what happens. I think Trump should be tried - and then let's see what happens re: pardons. Trump is such a devil that there are never any good options when it comes to him.

The Presidential Records Act allows presidents to take their records with them when they leave office.

Yeah I know this is what Trump says but like almost everything else that Trump says, it’s exactly wrong.

He's under investigation for attempting to overturn a legitimate Presidential election, both federally and on the state level.
And despite ALL of this - there is STILL a very strong chance that the Republican Party will once again put Donald Trump at the top of their ticket.
GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think you’ll be surprised that a lot of voters feel this way. Remember how the right’s great achievement of overturning Roe came back to bite them in the midterm? For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
