Is the abortion-seeking defendant in your hypothetical jury nullification case black, or white?
Or that you did give it to a 3rd party, or allowed a 3rd party to obtain it. (Did I just imagine that DOJ got surveillance tapes from Mar-a-Lago?) Whether or not it matters that it you were president and that it was out of carelessness, stupidity, or a need to satisfy narcissistic impulses might be up to a judge and jury. If youâre some random I donât like your chances.
Letâs say weâve got one of each?
What? They gave a copy to Trump. The reason was because Trump was lying about it.
Indicted or not, I donât see how that plays into it at all. They didnât give over the supporting evidence for the warrant.
White defendant is getting acquitted, maybe. Black defendant drawing live to jury nullification I guess, but I wouldnât put money on it.
They moved to release the warrant to counter the misinformation. They wouldnât need to do that if hteyâre handing down an indictment in the next few weeks. The indictment would be a lot more powerful than whatâs on the face of a warrant and warrant return.
When are we getting his tax returns?
on the fifth, the fifth of never
I think youâre vastly underestimating how damaging it would have been to let Fox News drive at the DOJâs credibility for weeks. Especially after one clown tried to shoot up an FBI office. Really donât see how itâs relevant.
But people are attacking FBI offices nowâŚ
What if they made a political decision that there was a risk of Trump supporters committing more violent acts and thought that releasing the warrant would decrease that risk significantly?
Then I think they miscalculated honestly.
But is it a plausible explanation for unsealing the warrant without closing off the possibility of future indictment?
Sure, I guess it is. I guess weâll see. I do not think he is getting indicted.
I give you the District of Columbus. Not a representative cross-section.
I think thereâs a chance he is, but very little chance he does time. I think if he were to be convicted, Biden would grant him clemency. Heâd just lose the chance to run again and all of his security clearances for the briefings ex-presidents usually get.
so how does fbi not toss every other residence and trump property? if i had mad secret stolen files iâd hide them all over, i think. i mean if you have residences all over the world
