Good… because this might finally lead US citizens actually consider a civil law system rather than a common law system…
Aw, who am I kidding? Yanks don’t even use the metric system yet. Smh.
Legal justice has become a pipedream. The only options with any real chance of happening are vigilante justice or no justice.
I’m disgusted with this country.
Everyone immediately rolled right over before election night even ended. There’s almost zero fight from anyone. Disgusting is the perfect description.
That’s the shit that gets me, too. They’re literally just letting everything happen. It feels fucking hopeless.
Making normal people feel helpless the key. The Nazis did the same shit as this turd reich is doing.
Then go do it.
Almost feels like the DNC was controlled opposition this whole time we marched toward fascism.
Sure but this is his only move here given what the shit ass Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity.
Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years and someone with a moral compass picks the car back up after/if he leaves but there’s not a damn thing he can do now with Trump back in office and he’s just got to wait until he gets indicted himself in political retribution from this orange fascist.
Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years
Hopefully he dies tonight, but the roaches always seem to be long lived…

Oh cool. The latest in a looooooooooooooooong fucking series of “Oh darn! Our hands our tied! We can’t do this thing we never wanted to do in the first fucking place!” moments.
I want him to get drunk, go on a podcast, and just spill the tea. What does he really think. I mean, I think I know, but I’d love to hear his honest opinion of the games that were played, who dropped the ball, and what he thinks of all the players, outside of what we glean from the filings.
He’s probably walking a tight rope in the hopes his family doesn’t get massacred.
Cold Ones suddenly looks very politically relevant.
Or maybe he could go on Hot Ones
Resist, unless you might suffer consequenses.
Guesses on what he was threatened with?
No need to guess. Project 25 is free to read.
He’s dropping them now because its the only move that might revive them when Trump is out. If his old ass lives that long.
Could you explain what you mean? Does dropping the case mean they can prosecute him for the same crimes later?
They’re not dropping charges but rather prosecution iirc.
Make sure to parrot this everywhere. There is a lot of misunderstanding going on right now.
Ah ok, I see what you mean. Thank you
Because this is federal the chain of command goes from Jack Smith through one or a few other people before landing on Trump (once he takes office). Trump can simply order people down the line to dismiss the charges with prejudice, making it so they can never be re-filed again. If the charges are just dropped at this point, he’d have to order them to be re-charged then dismiss. Which honestly, I don’t see him suffering any backlash at all if he did. His supporters are fucking stupid and fucking crazy.
Much appreciated
The evil ones always live the longest, annoyingly.
He is making a pragmatic decision that any reasonable lawyer would make.
DOJ policy is to drop a case like this. If he ignored policy then he would be fired by February before the case would even proceed. So no matter what he does, the case is dead and at least he got to write some words down. Basically the same as the three resonable justices on SCOTUS who have no power to do anything beyond write dissenting opinions that might matter sometime in the future.
It sucks, but Republicans have completed their coup from within the US government.
He wasn’t threatened with anything January 6th has always been a dog and pony show to keep Democrats riled up against Republicans in the hope that Democrats will stay in power. The oligarchy will never charge one of its own
Oligarchs infight all the time particularly when one tries to kill several others.
They may fight amongst themselves, but they would never do anything to harm other people amongst their own class.
The one thing the oligarchy does understand that the working class does not is class solidarity. Dog and pony shows like January 6th keeps class solidarity fragmented amongst the working class
