    Some of the many things that surprised me:

    • They want to try all 19 at once
    • They want the trial within 6 months

    This may be the most significant indictment, because the president can’t pardon a state crime.

      Worth noting, in Georgia, neither can the Governor. It’s a secret pardon committee who does that, and that’s ONLY after a certain period of time has been served.

      Ol’ Kemp can’t bail Trump out of this one.

        The only play for them at this point would be to somehow remove Willis and replace her with someone that will tank the case on purpose.

          It’s a random selection of judges now. There are 19 judges, and the computer assigns the case at random now that the indictment has been handed in. Worst game of Russian roulette.

            Someone still has to try the case. If they cleaned house at the Fulton da office they could have some sycophant show up to court and literally just tank the entire case.

      There are some bullshit laws making helping people illegal, like I think it’s illegal to give food to a homeless person some places. Probably hasn’t done that?

        Probably hasn’t made moonshine. Though, maybe he did and that s why he’s like this. Hard to say.

        That’s a myth, donating food is a protected act so long as its done in good faith.

        “Good Samaritan food donation protection act of 1996”

          Not a myth exactly. The good Samaritan is more about liability right? Well, some towns are designating only certain areas that people can give homeless food, in many senses punishing generosity to the poor.

            Nah, it’s a myth. They just need to be challenged and they’ll be gone soon thereafter since donations are generally considered expression.

              @Madison420 @VerdantSporeSeasoning

              But it costs to hire the lawyer, pay to file and take time off work to appear. And none of those costs will be reimbursed.

                That doesn’t change the fact that it’s legal and you’re simply going to court to prove it as such, plus you’ll be case law which is pretty neat.

                  Not everyone has the money to even get a lawyer.

                  Maybe start thinking about the whole population instead of just the ones who’d think it was “neat” to set precedent.

      He hasn’t touched my butthole though I wish he had because apparently he’s just giving away money by not knowing when to shut the fuck up.

        If this were for sale at the book store, I’d buy it. Even as an audio book on Audible… I’d buy it. Narated by Obama? I’d buy it twice!

      Oh that’s funny, because what that guy said that one time? If you could find a ham sandwich that led criminal conspiracies in multiple states for multiple un-American ends I would hope you’d indict it too.
