Judge David Carter, who ruled in Trump records case, has a colorful history

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Before this week, Judge David Carter was known as an unconventional, action-oriented federal judge and an advocate for California's homeless population -- or for helming the Anna Nicole Smith lawsuit.

Carter made headlines Monday when he said that former President Donald Trump and attorney John Eastman may have been planning a crime as they sought to disrupt the congressional certification of the presidential election on January 6.

"Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021," Carter wrote on Monday.

Carter does not have the ability to prosecute Trump, but his reasoning is an acknowledgment by a federal court that Trump's interest in overturning the election could be considered criminal.

in overturning the election could be considered criminal.'

Well put.

The Judge's opinion was reported to be 44 pages long. Hopefully, we will learn more.

2. Wish he'd said "beyond a reasonable doubt," rather than "likely."

“Likely” doesn’t cut it in our courts.
