    Yes that’s so dumb. It’s like obviously stupid. He could have stepped down and I’m sure she could have instantly found someone impartial to take his place.

    I know there isn’t technically a conflict of interest, but there appears to be and that’s enough.

      She’s a prosecutor, the actual corruption by the court overshadows the appearance of corruption by counsel. That argument about appearances never matters when it appears that the courts are favoring Trump as a defendant. The American political establishment wants to destroy the government.

        The defense has a married couple acting as their lawyer. Prior to dating apps, almost all relationships originated from the workplace. EVERYONE in my family married, over the age of 20, meet via work. I met my wife from a college summer job.

        It’s all bullshit whatsboutism used by a literal fascist.

        Correct it doesn’t, I agree. But that’s the status quo, that’s what the prosecution has to fight against. They ARE on their back foot because of Trump’s enormous and violent following. And when you’re on your back foot, you have to be perfect. It’s unfair and it’s total shit. But they screwed up.

        Fucking buckle up in November kids. Just think what these unhinged fuckwits are going to do.

        I can’t see anyway at all that the GOP controlled house will certify the election, and how many states have already planned to send faithless electors?

        Even if their coup fails again the damage to the country is irreparable. America as it was is already dead.
