I'm only 1/4 of the way through the filing but I've read a couple of pundit's "key takeaways". The problem is that there isn't a whole lot of revolutionary information that wasn't suspected or known. The damning part is only damning when you take a step back and you put it together into one picture. The public has become desensitized to salacious accusations being hurled around daily but this is a legal filing that has to be backed up by evidence/testimony. Smith didn't pull nonsense from thin air and post it on Twitter. The standard bar of our federal courts still mean something even if you don't agree with indictment. My fear is that the people that NEED to read this, won't and the ones that WILL read this, didn't need any further evidence to believe DJT belongs behind bars.
Trump is also a agent of russia, stole state secrets from the white house, started a insurrection, raped women, killed millions of Jews, is responsible for global climate change, killed 1000s of women by ending abortion, etc etc etc.
Thing is the leftist have been using this tactic for decades. Nothing new here
Except that's not what this thread is about (some of those are true, btw). It's "tactics" when a Republican is held accountable for breaking the law and "good ol' fashioned justice" when Democrats are. You can take your double standard and go home.
Seems to have a lot in common with what happened in Russia when Alexei Navalny spoke out against the machine. All of the civil, criminal and two impeachments against Trump seem parallel with how the Putin-run Russian government treated Alexei Navalny. Yes, there are people in Russia who support the government prosecution of the late Alexei Navalny. It should not surprise anyone when these examples of Trump's innate evilness are brought up time after time. Fortunately, most people clearly see that these are simply political attempts to eliminate a political enemy. If there was any validity in these arguments, Trump would have been long gone from the political scene.
If Donald Trump's lawyers had not been able to delay his trials, he would have been long gone from the political scene. If he were treated like the private citizen he is, like all of us are, those trials would have already happened. I don't blame Donald Trump's defense by delay...in fact the opposite. I blame our federal court systems for allowing it to happen and yielding to him in the first place. This would have been the best possible outcome for the republican party, in my opinion. It would have allowed them to nominate a sane candidate that would have been more marketable to a larger majority of the country.
Facts are, he was found indictable by a grand jury using evidence. The reality that he has not yet been held accountable for the laws he broke is saddening but the reason they keep coming up in the first place is because, eventually, you can't kick the can down the road anymore.
As damning as this "evidence" may end up being, I would still rather have orange man in office come January. Another 4 yrs of failure under the current "admin" may be too much to bear...
