Will never stand trial. Will never be convicted.
Biden took office January 20, 2021. By mid-February at the very latest (and probably way before that), the Intelligence Community was aware that a whole boatload of classified documents had been taken out of the White House by TFG.
That was a year-and-a-half ago. A year and a half where a man who tried to overthrow the government has sat on a treasure trove of supposedly sensitive documents. If anything dramatic was ever going to happen to TFG, it would have happened by now.
The ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon points the way. TFG now has a crystal clear road map on how to kick the can down the road until election 2024 and beyond. Anytime TFG looks to be behind the eight-ball, all he has to do is claim that, say, his dog died, and one of his pet judges will rule that the proceedings must be suspended by the legal doctrine canis mortuus est.

(9,998 posts)I wish it were otherwise, but I long ago resigned myself to the fact he very likely would get away with any crime he committed.
This is simply another example to add to the growing pile. It will continue to grow, and it still won't matter.

(16,117 posts)for anything he's done? He does it all in the open, confesses in public, and yet, he seems untouchable.
So, what gives you hope? Because from where I'm sitting it seems like the entire system is rigged in favor of people like him.
Doesn't mean we should stop trying, but hope feels like a fool's game right now.

(50,987 posts)he will be indicted when I see him being indicted. Conviction? Wow. I don't know about that.
But I do believe that eventually he will bring himself down somehow.
I don't think the DOJ will ever do anything about the insurrection, and if they do anything about the theft of our most sensitive national secrets, it will be long enough from the event that justice delayed will be justice absolutely denied.
And NYC has followed their decades long habit of letting him get away with everything.
So maybe Georgia. Who knows?
