"The Fix Is In"Posted By James Brown |
Smith is doing his job, the defense is doing their job, and the Courts are doing their jobs too. It's proceeding as our robust system mandates. But, because you are disappointed with the result you post: "The fix is in." That conclusion is what is wrong.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Oh please, Jim, look at how fast SCOTUS heard the Trump ballot case while slow walking the immunity case. I suppose you could argue that, compared to what Trump's favorite jurist, Aileen Cannon, is doing despite being slapped down twice by an appellate court, that the SCOTUS timing is just an anomaly and maybe it is but it's also true that Trump has the legal resources, paid for by his campaign committee, to conduct these sorts of appeals whereas the "every defendant" does not, except in theory.
It's equally obvious that Trump is manipulating the legal system to his advantage to avoid accountability before the election and "every defendant" is not running for president either so, please, spare us your legal high horse arguments that our arguments are seemingly corrupt, anti American, anti-liberty and only occur as the result of an overzealous prosecutor whom I believe is simply trying to do his job...
I do think Smith is over-zealous by the way, as a matter of politics. I do fear that those who would prefer not to see Trump elected president are going to regret his over-zealousness. I have never posted that he is outside of the bounds of the law though. He is doing his job aggressively, for sure, but he is not any indication of a broken or corrupt legal system. Only fools would argue that.
Must have been a long lunch!
